Christmas 2009

Wow what an amazing Christmas! It was so great. I loved having all my family around for a couple of days. We had a lot of fun! Its not to often that I get to sit around with my 2 sisters and just talk without everyone else. It was so great and they both gave me some great advice! That's why I love them!!! Here are a few pictures of the Holidays for us!!

Birthday Weekend!!

As Most of you know my birthday was November 5! I'm 24 years old!!! Ahhh.... Scares me. This birthday was really fun. The night of my birthday my mom invited everyone over for dinner and cake and ice cream. It was so much fun! It was also the first time my family met Brandon. Which went really well. Cash was so funny that night. His new thing is saying I love you. Its so cute hearing him say it. Such a sweetie. On Friday Nov 6Th, Melanie, Jamie and I went to Park City for my birthday. It was so much fun. When we got there we just hung out at the hotel for a while then decided to get ready and go eat. We went to Main Street Pizza and Pasta that's on old Main Street in Park City. It was so yummy. We also walked around main street for a while. Went in a few shops and stuff. After we ate our yummy dinner we went back to the hotel. We let our food set in our stomach for about a half hour then decided to SWIM!! (If you know me well, you know I love to swim!) This hotel has the coolest pool and hot tub. The pool went from the inside to the outside. The outside pool was even heated. There was a hot tub both inside and out. Me and Jamie sat in the hot tub for a long time. It was so nice!! We both loved that it was outside. Mel headed back up to the room before us to shower. After we started to look like old people with all our wrinkles we went back up to the room. We all showered and got ready for bed. As we were laying there we decided to rent a movie on our TV. We watch Post Grad! It was such a cute movie. I really liked it! The next morning we got up, got ready and went to breakfast and then hit the outlets for some good shopping!!! We spent the next 6 or 7 hours shopping! It was so fun!!! After shopping we all headed home. I had such a fun, relaxing time in Park City. I am so glad I got the chance to go!!! Hopefully we'll be able to do something like that again soon! Here are some pics!!! Hope ya enjoy!!

I'm Not A Perfect Girl!!

I love this quote! This week I have learned a big lesson about life! I have lived my life lately how other people want me to live my life... but guess what.... Its my life not theirs. Its time for me to start living my life how I want. I still do cherish advice from other people and I may follow what their advice is or I may not. In the end I am going to have to be the one who has to deal with my choices and consequences. Sorry I just wanted to say how I feel. I hope no one takes this wrongly. If you do... please let me.

Random!

Okay I know I haven't updated my blog in a really long time and I apologize for that. I feel like I never have anything to really say. Put I did want to post some pictures that I haven't had a change to post.
I have been so busy lately with both jobs and family things. 3 weeks ago Melanie (sis in law) decided to join a challenge called "The Biggest Loser". No no its not the one on TV (I WISH). We have weekly meetings and weight in and learn different lessons on eating healthy and health habits. I have really enjoyed going to the meetings. Every Wednesday I come home having learned amazing things. I have lost some weight. Not much. Hopefully the number grows bigger. We have our final weight in on Dec 16Th.
Here are a few fun pics:

This is Hailee on our walk the other night. It was such a BEAUTIFUL night!

July 2009 Part 2

I know I am such a slacker! I haven't posted much of anything lately. I am so busy working both jobs still I never have time. At the end of July, our family went to Island Park, ID. We had so much fun!!! It was a beautiful area. We left on Sunday morning and came home Thursday. It was so fun to have everyone around. Danny brought up the 4 wheelers! Man, the kids LOVED them!! I think Adam liked them the most. He was always gone on them. He even took me out on a couple of cool trails.

About 3 months before we went I had decided to make my mom a family video full of pictures. It started out with a bunch of there wedding pictures then pictures of all us 6 kids as babies and I even added some of the grand kids(to many). LOL. It turned out so good. I surprised my mom with it the first night we were there. She loved it! So did the kids. They all loved watching themselves on TV. Each one of them sat and watched it!!! That's pretty good!

We had so much fun that week in Island Park. Here are a few pictures I took while we were there. More updates to come!

Here is Adam and Grandpa just relaxing!
