Emergency Room!
Yep, that is right, Corey and I made our first trip to the ER as a married couple and you bet it would be the week of Christmas!! Lets just say "that's UnBeLiEvEaBlE" My dear husband was trying to be so great and snow blow our drive way. Well the snow blower is a little bit older and because of the rain it got clogged. So Corey put the blower in neutral, (first mistake of not just turning it off) got a pair of pliers and then went to work chopping at the blower. Well as husband is working the blower decides to put itself into gear flinging and pushing the pliers right up through the palm of his hand. Does that stop Corey??.....no he decides to go down and back just one more time when he gets back into the light he notices that it's probably not a good thing to be able to see all of your muscles and tendons in your hand. So I hear him come in the house and with a few choice words that won't be said........ he calmly walks into the bedroom and says "babe can you take me to the hospital" I do have to say that I am extremely proud of myself because I didn't freak out at all (okay so inside I was dying but that is okay, alright and I did cry on the way home but can you blame me??). I of course am in my sweats so i grab my boots put them on and say "okay" Needless to say we were the only ones in the ER but were there for a good 2 solid hours.....once again unbelieveable.....they put 14 stitches 4 or 5 of which are internal, the rest on the outside. I have never seen anything so deep in my entire life and the Dr. was extremely impressed as well. We are scheduled to go so a plastic surgeon/hand specialist tomorrow to make sure there is no nerve or tendon damage. What a wonderful Christmas for the both of us and thank heavens for health insurance. I will say that I am truly grateful that it was just his hand as bad as it sounds but it could have been a lot worse. I think that Corey has definitely learned his lesson, and he promised me driving home that he will never do that again and he will turn the blower off first!!

My AmAzInG mOm!
HAPPY BIRFDAY!!
I have the most incredible and amazing mom in the entire world! I am told pretty much by everyone that I am my mom's twin and act just like her....Corey is convinced that I am my mom's clone. The truth is that my mom is much prettier and better than I am, but I will not complain to be told that I am just like her, it is the greatest compliment in the world! My mom is my best friend and always has been! She was always there when I would come home from school, cheer, or work to scoop me up if something had happened or if I had a break down she was always there. Well somethings don't change, like my mom, because she is still there for all of my many breakdowns and is the shoulder for me to cry on. My goal has always been to be just like my mom. I have always said if I could be half the mom to my kids that my mom has been to me then i would consider myself pretty much perfect. You will never meet a more Christ like and selfless person than my mom. She is truly an angel sent from above and I"ve been the lucky one who gets to call her mom! I can't even count the number of nights that she stayed up with us kids because we were sick, or we were out on a date or at a basketball or football game either cheering or playing in it. No matter how many times or how many of us were sick mom never ever complained or seemed to get sick. Who could forget all the nights that us kids went to bed with a half finished school project and when we came down for breakfast it was completely done and a masterpiece!! Mom thank you for everything! You are the most amazing woman that i know and i am so blessed and grateful that I am your daughter. Thank you for choosing to be my mom and loving unconditionally. Thank you for never getting tired of me watching Beauty and the Beast everyday. Thank you for always being there for me and supporting me. Thank you for always comforting me with whatever drama was going on that day or week. Thank you for raising me in the gospel and being the perfect example of what and how a mom should be. Thank you for always saying guilty until proven innocent....you know what i am talking about! Thank you for being worthy to be in the temple with me when i was sealed to the love of my life for time and all eternity, I will never forget the experience we had while in the brides room of the temple! I am so proud to be your daughter mom and I love you so much!! Happy Birfday!!
I Love you,
Britt, Belle, your favorite 2nd brown haired daughter, angel doll!
Oh ChRiStMaS tReE!!
This is Corey and I's first Christmas Tree!! Shocking I know since we moved into our house Christmas Eve last year, however this is our first and REAL Christmas tree. Growing up I had a fake tree, but Corey grew up having real fresh tree's so therefore we have a real tree! I am not going to lie at first i was really nervous about getting a real tree because my luck the poor little guy would die right before Christmas. I am proud to say that we have almost had our tree for a month and there is no sign of it dying any time soon :). The funnest part of the whole tree is that we went with Corey's parents and cut it down ourselves, my first time ever!! We drove up Spanish Canyon at a sight called Dairy.....something ahah i don't remember the name to get our tree's. Our tree stands about 6 ft. tall maybe just a little over 6 ft. Mom and Papa's tree that they cut down stands a little shorter at 16 ft. Yup that is right they cut a 16 foot tree down! The thing is freaking huge a BeAsT, literally! I have never seen a bigger tree besides the huge tree in New York! It was quite the adventure trying to cut this little tree down for mom and papa! But with good stradegy and planning Corey and Kent were able to get it down, no sweat.......
We're ALIVE!!
Yes, we are alive. After recieving mutiple phone calls from my dear sweet cousin Whitney Denise telling me that I was "officially fired from blogging". Then my amazing sister Breeann telling me that I am lame and she is tired of seeing Bridal Veil Falls as my most recent post, I decided that maybe it was time to do a blog update hahaha! Life as been so crazy that it's been hard to find the time to blog. I will say that I have missed it however and so I am turning over a new leave and I am going to be better about keeping my blog up to date. So this post is mainly going to be just pictures of the FuN sUmMeR that Corey and I had and what we have been up to the past 6 months! I am going to pick up were I left off, so Bree don't kill me but, this will be the last time you see bridal veil falls, these are just some pics we took while up there. Our summer was filled with fun activites: Powell, Florida, Camping, Fishing, Swimming, and Holiday!!

Lake Powell!
What can I say about lake powell beside that I LOVE IT and that we had so much FuN! This year we had Dee, Bud and Tara, and Amber (the hobbs) come to Powell with us. We had so much fun, too much fun actually. Many, many memories were made and lots and lots of laughs were shared. From tubing, to wake boarding, to knee boarding, to the best part SkInNy DiPpIn and everything that happened while skinny dipping :) (you girls know what i mean...."mom get in the water"... and who could foget mom's "pOsE" hahah) We also had quite the fun drive home, especially when Shad and Nat's timing belt broke in there car while we were in the middle of no wear!. So question....How many people can you fit in a DuRmAx?...... Answer: 7 adults! Thanks so much mom and papa for the fun trip! We love you so much!!
The powell gang!
knee boarding ( got up on my first try....very proud husband :) )
This summer us sisters and our wonderful Aunt Verdalee were lucky enough to fly out to Florida to visit Bree and my babies!! We got to be there for 5 days, 5 days that went by way to fast! We went to the pool every single day and visited the beach a couple of times! It was so great to see how brave Sophie and M.J. were. They have absolutely no fear of water.....which to be honest i'm not to sure if that is a good thing or not. I absolutely loved the late nights, the talks and the stories and memories that we made while we were there. We had activities that we did every single day so pretty much it was none stop fun. Bree, me and brae got up every day and did our "BrAzIl BuTt LiFt" every morning :). My brother in law was nice enough to go to the store and buy us a bunch of our favorite treats, that we didn't even touch......ya right, lets be honest we ate em all, and we definitely didn't need them. We had so much fun and it was so hard to leave but I am thrilled to see them in February!! Now I have to say that I have the most AMAZING older sister in the entire world. I wish I could be just like her. She has gone through big hard things in her life this past year and she is still the strongest person, if not even stronger now, that i have ever met. She is so forgiving and has the strongest testimony of the gospel. She is such an incredible mom and wife. Her husband is the luckiest man in the world because he has her, and her babies have an absolutely beautiful angel for a mom. Bree I hope you know how much I love you and how much I look up to you. I have looked up to you my entire life and always wanted to be just like you, even if you were rude and told me to go home after i had rode my bike all the way to Britney Gilles house to play with you :). You are truly amazing and I miss you like crazy! I love you! I have to also thank my Aunt Verdalee who made it possible for us to go on this trip. Thanks so much Aunt Verd!

CaMpInG!
We went camping out to Flaming Gorge this year cause Robin drew out for an elk tag! Our camping adventure all started when Corey and I got totally and completely lost trying to find our camp site. This was no little detour it was about a 2 hour detour all because we took one turn to early, it was definitely a drive we will never forget about. Thankfully the Lord was watching out for us and gave us just enough time and phone service to call papa and figure out where the heck we were. When we finally arrived to our destination we had a bunch of fun waking up early scouting out elk, fishing, havin a fire, playing games and messin around on the four wheelers.
For memorial day this year we had my family come over to our house out in Saratoga. The boys played tennis and us girls went roller blading. The boys then went and played disk golf while us girls made lunch and cleaned up. After lunch we went out shooting!
unfortunately dad got a flat while trying to find a spot for shooting. The story with this.......Mom and dad pulled up behind Corey and I. Corey jumped out and you could hear the air leaking out of the tire. So my amazing husband calmly and collectively says, "Oh hey you got a flat tire so just pull right here so we can change it". My parents just laughed at how calm Corey was like it was no big deal. I am so grateful that I married such a handy man! :)
this is a huge step for my older bro. If you don't know my brother he doesn't do anything and i mean ANYTHING dangerous or anything that you might get hurt doing. So to see him riding Core's pit bike was honestly a "BIG DEAL" Just like he likes to think he is! haha jk bro you know i love you!
CaVeMaN FoOtBaLl!!
CHAMPIONS!
My little brother Bronson is probably the most talented Barron child my parents have. He is an amazing pitcher and quarter back that led his football team to an undefeated season and to become the 5th grade football ChAmPiOnS! Now obviously they could have done it without the most incredible and dedicated head coach, Coach Barron! :) My dad is honestly the best coach and dad that you will ever meet. He'll take any team and make them champions and make every single player feel like they are important! I love you both so much and CONGRATS!
pRoUd parents and HEAD coach of the MVP
Brons!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DO MOST INCREDIBLE DAD!
I am truly so blessed to have been raised by such amazing parents! I have the best dad in the world and an angel and saint for a mom. My dad is a man who has always taught me to put the lord first and showed me how to do it by his example. A man who has always fulfilled all his callings and priesthood responsabilities. A man who always taught me to do my best and give my 110% anything less than that was unexceptable, because i was a BARRON. A man who has always and continues to support and provide for his family, and putting his personal wants and needs aside to do so if necessary. My dad is the most honest, loyal, trustworthy, selfless, hard working, loveing and good looking man you'll every meet. Dad Thank you so much for always protecting, loving, providing, teaching, and taking care of me and the family. Thank you for always pushing me to be the best and expecting me to be the best. Thank you for always being a worthy priesthood holder and blessing our family because you are. Thank you for all the countless night of carrying me up to bed, staying up for me to make sure i got home safe, for the prayers, the blessings, the patients, the games you were at, the cheerleading events that you dreaded but always came and supported us girls at. Thank you for your unconditional love! None of us kids would be who we are or where we are if it weren't for you. You are not only the world greatest coach but more importantly you are the world greatest dad! Thank you and I love you!
Britt
Love this guy!
