Happy Birthday Tonya!

Scared?

I didn't go shooting as much as I wanted to, especially for getting a lot of amo and clays for Christmas... it's ok. Roo and I decided to go out one day. It was pretty fun, then again it usually is. We had a good time.

Snow!

If that fake little snowboard looks like fun... it was! Until...well I didn't take a picture of the bruise on my backside because I would like my blog to be family friendly, but ouch! That is hard ground under that snow! It was fun tubing, mom and dad even went down the hill a few times. Mom got stuck in the snow one time and was having such a good time she couldn't stop laughing.

After Hour Activities...

Well Sasha and Ella were so exhausted they just caught up on some z's on the couch. I know Sasha already posted this picture, but I was snapping pics with my camera and hers I thought it was so cute. "Catchphrase" was a hit with our family this year. Good thing we have our own code of "yeasty substance" and "raindrop nuts" sure helped out the rest of the games. Ella did my hair, don't I look good!? Markie got an ipod and so did I for Christmas so we were "sharing". Don't I look good in her hat. It was so much fun just spending time together. I loved it!

Christmas Morning

We got mom and dad a Wii for Christmas... it was pretty interesting to watch everyone in the family playing Wii Sports. Fun!

Gingerbread houses are a tradition for us. This one was a bit of a challenge. Mom wanted the gingerbread to be a little softer so we didn't cook it as long... not a good idea, we had some wilting logs and roof. We had to cook the pie for Christmas dinner at the same time and some of the berry ran over onto the gingerbread... it turned out ok after all.

Temple Square

I went and saw the lights on Temple Square about 8 times this year. I only took pictures once though. Funny how every date had the same idea. I went for my office party, we ate at the roof and watched Savior of the World and then I went with another of my guy friends and then two other girls. It was beautiful, but it might be a good thing they are taking them down.

I'll Be Home For Christmas!

Well, this may come as a shock to some of you, but... I am so excited to go home for Christmas! I know, it may wear off after a couple days wondering what to do with myself, but I can't wait to be at my house with my mom and dad. I am super excited to see Tonya's family too. I can't wait to hang out with Markie and spend time with Roo too! Weird huh. I almost want to tell my boss I won't be in on Monday and just go. I love Christmas! It's so exciting!

Never A Bride...

Yesterday I traveled to Colorado for the ring ceremony and reception of my dear friend Kim. It was a lot of fun and I was so excited for her. She was married Friday in Bountiful. I don't know how well you all know the geography, but it takes about an hour to drive there from Provo. It did take us that long there, but then...it had snowed so much while we were inside that it took us three hours to get back to Provo that night. Holy Cow!

How Is It Possible?

Well, although it was so much fun supporting Kim at he wedding on the way home, just about five minutes away from Provo out of the canyon a police officer turned on his lights. I looked at my speedometer, I was going 65. I thought he must not be after me but then he followed me. Now, I thought the speed limit was 60 or 65. Well the officer was very...we'll say "cheeky" when I told him what I thought the limit was. He informed me I was going 77... WHAT? 77!?!?! What I would like to know is how is that possible? Then he informs me the speed limit is 55 because we were in a construction area. Isn't there usually orange cones or signs when there is construction? Hmmm...although I had been speeding at other times during the trip, how is it that I could be pulled over when I wasn't? Ugh!

Thanksgiving In Oregon

Thanksgiving at the Judd's was a lot of fun! It was nice to get to see Ryan and his family since I hadn't seen them for about two years. We had a lot of fun. The kids are soooo cute! We got to do a lot of shopping and went to the zoo to see the lights. Tera fixed a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. I was glad I got to go.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRANDON MAN!
