Home For The Holiday's

Snow is falling, Christmas music is playing and school is out for the holiday!


We got to spend Christmas with my family again this year! I was so excited to get the semester over with and head to Driggs for 2 weeks.  
Up until Christmas eve me and my mom baked some yummy Christmas treats.  Of course most of them went to neighbors and friends.  And this year instead of decorating a ginger bread house we made some cookies and decorated those.  It was still a lot of fun and you can eat the cookies when you are done.  Unlike ginger bread houses. Then once that was done we also made some hot cocoa and sat by the fire to what the Christmas message given by the first presidency of the church that was on that night.



Here was my favorite talk of the Christmas Devotional


Well Christmas Eve has finally arrived and like every year we all head to grandma's house for dinner, gifts and my favorite part reading in the Bible about Jesus in Luke. After the story has been read we all sing Christmas songs and some of the kids will even do solos.  It's fun to watch because a lot of them act really shy while singing.

After spending time with family we headed back home to open one present which is always pajama's and we love opening them every year.  We all get so excited to see what kind of pajama's we got this year.  It was funny because my mom played a trick on Michael and Justin when they both opened up there they did not like what they saw haha. Just keep in mind that Michael is a die hard Blazer fan and Justin is a die hard Heat fan. Here is the video I got of them opening there pajamas.

Here is what the girls pajamas looked like.  I actually got to pick them out with my mom hehe.  They are so soft and cute! Alesha got mad though, she was mortified that she did not get footy pajamas.  The funny thing about it is that she never told my mom that she wanted them, so Alesha didn't quit get what she wanted for pajamas this year, but I think later on she decided she liked them.


Know here are some pictures with all of us and Michael and Justin wearing the wrong shirts haha



There we go! Thats the way they like it haha


Well it is Christmas day and what a wonderful morning it is.  I think everyone got out of bed at 7:30  which is a lot better then years past! Here are some more pictures of our Christmas Morning.


I got Michael some parts for his Ford Mustang!

Michael fixed the star that Alesha accidentally broke and surprised me with it in a frame!



Uh Oh mom got a gun!!

In the spirit of Christmas I just want everyone to know how grateful I am for my wonderful family I have and all the wonderful memories and traditions we all share! I would be so lonely with out my awesome family and the comfort they bring me in my life and excepting me for who I am.  

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going,  Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.)  We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while!  I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...

A Weekend With Family & Friends

There is nothing better than spending time with friends and family. I cherish every moment I get with them. Never take time with your family for granted because you can never get that time back. I am the most  happy  when I am around family.   My goal this year is to try to be around family as much as I can because  those are the memories I want to remember the most. Here are some pictures of the awesome weekend with family and friends. .......... We got to go to the Ogden Raptors vs. the Idaho Falls Chuckers game with our friends Ben and Rachel As of lately Zupas soup, salad & sandwiches has become one of my favorite places to eat,  so before going to the game I made everyone eat at Zupas with me.  such good food!! Overall it was a really great time with our awesome friends. and of course I was cheering for the Chuckers... even though they lost. The girls got to come so it was fun having them ...
