The Tuttles Home!

Kelly requested forever ago that I post our house! And I finally did it! Haha! So here you are Kelly, and all of yous whose interested! Mark and I are fortunate enough to have Marks Grandparents who bought houses for their grandchildren. We got to pick which on we liked and move in and rent from them! About 6 months into renting we decided to buy. So now we own the home. Pretty crazy! But it is wonderful!!



This front room was empty for a good part of the first year we lived here! Then my mother-in-law was so great to get me jump started to fill it! I am no good with interior design, so we decided what style I liked, I decided whimsical and light. And then we found the furniture and put the room together! It was SO fun! I LOVE this room!!



This is the front entrance. The sitting room is to the right, and a bathroom and garage are to the left.




This is our family room. Marks styling is more this room. The high contrast and sharp design. We bought the couch, TV stand, and TV when we first got married, and the design evolved through the year. We love this room and enjoy spending time in it!





This is the recreational room! I have my treadmill in here and our snowboards, someday this will be the babies room, but for now, it's this!




This is Mark's office!



This is our extra bathroom.



This is our bedroom, it doesn't have much in it yet. Hopefully soon it will be more designed! But it's comfy and large, so we love it!




This is our dinning room, My mom provided me with table decor for all 12 months, and more! SO fun! I love switching them out every month! This one here is Halloween.




And this is our kitchen!


So there you have it! This is our house. We sure do love living here!!

Baja Mexico Cruise!!

So every year our Dentist Les takes us on two trips! One with our spouses, we usually stay close but have a blast, EX: in february we went to midway and stayed in a cabin and ate like kings a queens, and played on snowmobiles. So the next trip this year was a girls trip, and guess what we did?! We went on a cruise!!! 1st cruise I have ever been on! It was a blast, I was a bit sea sick most of the time, but that couldn't hold me back from having a good time! I love the people I work with, strange thing is we all get along, VERY well! So trips are like hanging out with your best friends! SO much fun! Les is the best boss ever, I told a patient the other day, he asked if we liked what we did as dental assistants. my response?, "Being a dental assistant is great, but having the boss we do, makes every day SO much better. He isn't stingy, and close minded. We have responsibilities and are expected to be great, And we are. And did I mention he's hilarious? Everyone of us when we're together just laughs and laughs Our patients have a very different experience when they come to us! Any way, back to the cruise! It was a 3 day cruise, we left from Long Beach, CA and ported in Ensenada Mexico.


Sittin waiting for our flight!



On the shuttle to the "blow hole" in Ensenada



Walkin through the flea market. There were so many men yelling for us to go to their shop, and how did they address us you ask? like this, "Hey barbie, come here, I got what you need" "Hey Britney Spears" "hey supermodel!" (say the previous with a thick mexican accent)very crazy, you just had to look straight ahead and pretend to not notice. HA!



This is the view of ensenada from our ship

Makin our way onto the cruise ship. We got there SO early, but it turned out perfect! I guess you have to wait in super long lines to get to the cruise. But, early check in is a breeze! We checked right in, got right on, ate lunch. We were even allowed into our rooms earlier than normal! It was awesome!!



Before our flight, Lindsey and I of course, making silly face



Lindsey, Nicole and I. We've landed in Long Beach! Yay!! What a little air port. Mark and I went on our honey moon there so I had experienced this air port once before, but wow, it is tiny!



Cruises are so great because you can have all the food you want, and it is delicious!! mmmm, this is our dinner party. Our waiters were fabulous and hilarious! loved it!







This was our boat, "the paradise" it was so great!



I can't make this picture any smaller, darn it! But this was my favorite memory from the cruise!! We went into the piano bar one night, and they are so much fun! Everyone singing along with the piano man. So great! So it was getting late, maybe like 1am, and the piano man turned around to us and said, one of you three has to get on the piano and sing. I was SO IN!! So I sang Elton Johns, "I hope you don't mind" It was SO fun! Loved it!!


Such a fun vaca with my ladies and Les. THANKS Les! Best boss ever!!

Anniversary!!!

We went to Snowbird Resort! We stayed one night, oktoberfest was going on so we stayed and played! So fun!! September was a perfect month to get married cause nature is GORGEOUS this month! Look at these views!!















This was a perfect get-a-way! I am so grateful to have Mark. He has taught me a lot about life and love, and how when you work hard and are 100% selfless, there is no greater reward than the love you have for one another! I love you Mark!!

Thompson Reunion!

Such a fun weekend !! We missed the Thompson troop dearly!! And Brig and Katry ;( Bummer! But it was great having everyone else there! Staven and Ashley did such a great job! Everyone had fun the whole time, it was a great success!! the first day we went up to a resort in Midway and Heather created an amazing greek feast, it was delicious! then we hung around and played games, and then all headed to bed!

In the morning was Mark and my breakfast. We did Creme Brule French Toast with strawberries! I'd say it was a hit! Here is a flash forward to boating. After breakfast we headed over to deer creek reservoir to go boating (thanks Jon) and Ski doo'ing Thanks Heather and Brig! So fun! Here's Ethan steering the boat!

Back to breakfast! This is what it looked like, next time I'll make sure I make more! (sorry it's upside down, I couldn't figure out how to rotate it)
