It was fun!My new Modbe matching hat and mittens. The scarf is even cuter but I didn't have it on ;(Josie was the life of the party teaching everyone how to play Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Josie was all for helping open presents, until she opened 101 Dalmations DVD from uncle Eric, then she just wanted to watch it. Presents were now boring.Josie modeling her cute pink slippers we got her for Christmas.

Eric, Pap and Mam.

Melanie "opening" her present. We put Vinyl lettering on her grandmothers old windows that said "families are forever" I thought it was kinda symbolic. The Christmas eve Family party. Santa came, we made Ginger Bread houses, visited, had a great dinner and played together. It was quite fun!

This was Justin trying to convince Santa that he really was good enough this year to get presents. Santa didn't believe him, lol. Just kidding.

We all sat around in the living room singing Christmas Carols while Melanie played the piano and we waited for Santa to come.Dad and Justin Christmas morning. Justin worked until about 11 but we waited for him and he came strait to my parents house and we all had breakfast together then opened presents.I got Justin a new hoodie. It's cute huh!?I was hugging Hailey better. She got this new adorable Radio Flyer Wagon that's the size of a notebook maybe, but she learned that if you step on just the back end of the wagon just right that the front half will do a weelie and smack you right in the head! I was the closest person at that moment so I got to save her.Justin got me new riding gloves for Christmas, they're way cute!

Hailey was helping me figure out theRubiks cube I got Justin for Christmas.Hailey trying on her adorable new slippers we got her!Takin the slippers for a test walk. That's the wagon that hit her in the face P.S.She was being goofy, such a cute girl!

November Came and went....

These last few months have been so high speed, I have not been able to keep up at all. November came and went before I knew what hit me. The main events of the month: I got my vinyl lettering Machine finally! Yay. I have been a sticker-makin fool. It's been fun. Justin and I did Santa's workshop the two days after thanksgiving. Well, he was there for Friday, then Saturday him and the rest of the family went to Salt Lake for a fun day of shopping while I sat and babysat the booth...Yes I'm whining a little. It turned out ok though.

Justin got a new job and is now Happily working as a Pumper for EOG. I feel so much more confident about him having this job. I love that he gets off at 3 every day and that he enjoys what he does. I love that it's not stressful to him and that he has transitioned well. It's wonderful.

I got the Christmas tree up the first week in December. It is our first Christmas as a married couple so this is OUR first Christmas tree. Justin helped choose the christmas ball ornaments and then he got it up the stairs and put together. The rest he left to me, which I enjoyed. I think he knew I would too, it was great.

Monty and Eric got home a few days before Thanksgiving and we have had a great time visiting. Eric has been gone the last week, but he's enjoying his time in St. George. Monty took a bad fall off the roof on his last month home and they took him to the doctor last week and he tore the muscle in the top of his shoulder pretty bad. It's going to require surgery, but he isn't able to do it until March, so we feel for him.

Tonight Melanie and Monty took Justin, Tyler and I to a Bar J wranglers concert at the high school. It was incredibly funny. We had a great time! Thanks guys.

I also am SO excited. Tiffany Morton is so great. She took some pictures of Justin and I for some Christmas cards and she must be and incredible editor because they turned out great! I can't get enough of them. Thank you so much Tiffany! We owe you big time! She E-mailed me some and I couldn't wait to share some of them, so here they are.

Halloween...and Snow?

Yesterday when I woke up, there was snow outside. It was so very beautiful and cold! I was surprised that it stuck as well as it did. Usually it melts quickly but it didn't this time. I had to brush my car off before it could go to work. It was surprisingly fun. Between the snow and Halloween being over I am getting excited for Christmas! I have started my shopping already, which seems like it's the never ending story, but it's fun, especially since I'm shopping for other people, I love giving gifts.

Our Halloween was fairly uneventful. Justin and I invited Colt, Jessica, and Clint out to the house. We barbecued some dinner and then sat in the hot tub, got out and played some pool and Ninetendo. Before they came out to the house though, I went to visit my parents and see Hailey in her costume and Karri and Jeff happened to be there with Connor and Brennan so I got to see their adorable outfits too. It was great. Here are a few pictures.

The day after Halloween, Which was Saturday. Justin and I spent the day in town helping Colt, Jess and Clint move into their new apartment. It was fun, we were really busy but we got them moved into their new place so that was great.

Today we got the good news that mammy is coming Home Monday. She has been in the University of Utah Hospital for 11 days after having a cancerous tumor removed from her lung. She's been through a battle, but amazing as she is, she's still with us and we're so glad! We're very excited to have her back home and feeling better!
