You Can't Tell Me...

That this isn't the BEST school picture ever!! This is my niece Ashlyn, and these were taken on re-take day!!! My sister asked her, "What did it feel like when they took your picture?" She said, " Weird!" Too cute! Wish I had one as cool as this!! Luckily, they called the photographer, and she had another one on file! :)

Thanks for EVERYTHING!

I'm thankful we have a holiday, to reflect on everything we are thankful for. I'm definitely so grateful for my family, and good food! So of coarse Thanksgiving is going to be a good time! Every Thanksgiving, Aaron has to drink from this turkey. He says, "It's the Kings goblet!" Look at all that yumminess!!!

My cute cousins, Pam and Lucy!

So thankful for him!!!

Baby Taven!

Thankful for the movie Newsies!! And for round 2 of food!

Dad's Surprise!

It was my Dad's 60th so we decided to have a surprise party! Our family will remember it forever because it ended up being one of the funnest days with our whole family! This is him walking in, and looking at my mom, cause he was so confused!! She had to tell her first lie to get him to come!! It's okay mom! ;) We made him a cake out of jelly filled donuts because they are his fav! And of coarse, with sorbet ice cream! Can't you tell how excited we all were to eat it by the way we were crowded around it?? We proceeded to have a talent show! We all did things we haven't done, in years!! So FUNNY! Here is Andrew break dancing! Yup, still got it!!

Who said a prego lady can't break dance? Not us!!! Yup still got it!

I busted out my jump rope routine from 6th grade! OES jump team! Yup still got it! ( was so soar the next day!!)

Singing!

Ashlyn playing the violin! So talented at 8 years old!

Family came from all over to be here, and it meant so much to my dad!

Love the pose!! Good job everyone for keepin it a surprise!!

Halloweeeeeen!

Halloween is becoming one of my favorite holidays! I love it when people go all out and we get a kick out of dressing up!




We started out at my family's house. Here is Ashlyn, Edward's cousin.Then we boogied over to Travis's Aunt and Uncles house for the next party!

Howdy Jessie!


Here's Jermaine and Britney Spears from the Toxic video!Brett and Jermain,

Princess Leah never looked so good, and who would've thought she went well with ketchup and mustard?

Here we are! Roller Derby Rules!!!

Check out my sweet wheels!! They are my 8 year old nieces!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Gleeful

I feel like I can't say it enough! I'm so in love with Glee!! This is such a refreshingly funny show and I get so excited to watch it each Wed! Each character is so perfect and the music and singing in it, is sooo great! I just love it!! Definitely my new favorite show :)

Solace

So our favorite Jordan is home from his mission! In celebration, we went to Lake Powell. Our annual trip has become mandatory!

Here's the group on our hike up Forgotten Canyon to the Indian petroglyphs.

Just adding to my heritage!

Travis gets better and better at wake boarding each time we go out! It's been such a blast being able to do so!

I LOVE boat rides. I'm so relaxed and dazed!

Surfing it up!

I absolutely love Lake Powell. It has the best scenery, it's so peaceful, I leave all my stresses at home, no one had a cell phone, and my blood loves to boil! What a breath of fresh air! ( except for the house boat at the end of the trip! PHEW!)

Mallory, my inspiration! Girl Power! Welcome home Jordan! And what a fun fun trip! Of coarse there are always dramatic things that happen boating, but it sure doesn't stop from going every year!

I'll bet...

Apparently it's hunting season. Lately Travis has been sneaking up on me, in the most random places, and bugles at me, so loud and it scares me to death. Then I look and he's in camo, and I can't stop laughing! I'd be dead for sure if he was hunting me because I don't ever have any clue he is there!

Bet your husband doesn't do this!!
