New addition to our family!

As I write this, our new puppy Izzy sleeps on my husbands shoulder, content in her new home.

The play by play so far? One licked, then abandoned puppy treat. One pee pee + one poop accident (no concept of potty training in the breeders home. Could be trouble ahead.)

One entirely happy Brian and Rachel, after a night of restless sleep :).

we got new couches!

So we decided we needed to get rid of our couches and buy a sectional. We love our new sectional because it has a great big ottoman in the middle so that everyone can put there feet up. So here are a few pics

Halloween.

This year i decided not to dress up for halloween at work. I just couldnt find anything I wanted to be. But i still thought i would put up some of the pics i took from work.


this is my Boss Tammy


this is Monica


this is Hiedi

This is only a few of them. But of course these are some of my favs.


So we really didnt do much when it came down to Halloween night we just stayed home and ate sushi. It was fun just hanging out with my hubby but it w0uld have been nice if we would have gotten some trick or treaters. Maybe one day when we move into a house we will get some and i can really decorate the outside of my house :) This year i was only able to put a couple things up. The little blocks that say boo on them are from my sister and the pumpkins are from party lite candels.

Governor's Gala

Last night we attended the governor's gala which is a fundraiser the gov puts on every year to raise money for his election in the coming year. Since bri just got hired on with the campaign we were able to go. It was such a great night It was fun to get all dressed up and get my hair and make up done. Brian also looked really nice in his tux. The best part of the night was watching the preformers who did little parts of some different musicals. The one we liked the most was The Wiz part.

here are a few more pics from the night.


this is my neighbor katie and me

Happy 29th Birthday Brian!

Brian is now I year closer to being 30 and ofcourse I love giving him a hard time that he will turn 30 before me! So from what I can tell Brian had a pretty good birthday. We went over to his parents house and had cake and opened presents. The cake was made by Ashlee one of my good friends and it was soo yummy! Here is a pic of the cake and how excited Bri was to blow the candles out :)

Football Season Has started!

Go BYU! The Maxwell household is very excited for the upcoming season and we are so glad it started off with such a great win! BYU Beat Oklahoma last night 14-13 it was a great game. We had Brian's family over for the first game. It was great to have them all here and cheering on BYU. In the coming months all are welcome in the Maxwell house to cheer on BYU!
