The Boys Watching Football



We had a great Christmas this year. We got to spend it mostly with Nick's family because my parents went to St. George. We had our party with my family on the 23rd we opened our drawing gifts and had pizza. It was fun and I got a beautiful handmade jewelry box from Kayla! Avree got a princess sleeping bag with pillow that she has slept in every night since. Then on Christmas Eve we went to Nick's parents house and had a huge party. We had the nativity, played the chimes and opened our drawing gifts! We had a great time and got lots of food storage from Nick's parents! We need it so bad! We slept over that night and were so excited for Santa to come. Our kids got so spoiled this year. Which you will notice in the pictures. We had so much fun with the kids. They are such fun ages and really enjoyed Christmas. Avree kept telling everyone "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays." She said she even heard Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve:) She is so funny. Kason loved all of his new toys and especially his new Rocket ride-on toy. He loves music and just pushes all of the buttons over and over. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

ChRiStMaS!

We went to visit Santa at the mall the other night after my birthday party! Avree was very good and actually sat on his lap. I was amazed. She was a little stiff and didn't really want to talk much but she did tell him she wanted a doll. I think that is all that she could get out. Kason sat for a minute but quickly decided that he didn't like him! Oh well there's always next year.
Then last Wednesday was Avree's Christmas dance review. They did three dances 2 tap and one ballet and they were so cute! She is quite the entertainer and couldn't believe that everyone was there to watch her. So those are our Christmas adventures so far. Merry Christmas to everyone!!

The Nutcracker

Every year for as long as I can remember the girls always go to the Nutcracker right after Thanksgiving. My mom always buys the little girls a Christmas dress and we all dress up and get to go. I haven't been for a couple of years so it was so exciting to go with my little girl this year and carry on that tradition. So here are a few pics of the day. Avree loved it and sat through the whole thing. Like 2 1/2 hours! She was so excited that morning she woke up and said, "Happy Nutcracker day, Mom!"

A Great Thanksgiving and Black Friday!!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! I think I won't be hungry again for at least another week! We ate dinner at my mom's this year and played games after dinner. Then went to Nick's parents for pie! It was a day full day of eating. But we had a great time visiting with family and goofing off. Thanks everyone for the great food it was wonderful! I even decided to make pies this year and they turned out pretty good! I was so proud of myself!
Then it was off for some great shopping. We started early and went to K-mart on thursday night. We got a few things and then went home to rest up for the next day! I picked Sasha up at 4:30 and we were off to Wal-Mart. When we got there it was CRAZY! I have been going for about 6 years now and I have never seen it so packed! There were so many people you couldn't even move. I felt like a cow in a cattle drive. MOO! At one time I was sandwiched between 2 carts with both people pushing on me. We got some great deals and I got everything I needed! We waited in line for about 45 minutes then headed to K-Mart. There was nothing there so we went to Kohls and got some great deals on toys and games. Then we went to Old Navy and finished up! Wow what a day. Sasha and I had so much fun. The most fun is making fun of the people who are so into it and rude! We don't care if we get anything but it is so fun to go and watch all of the crazy people! Thanks for going with me Sasha!

Husband Tag

A while ago Keesha tagged me and I haven't done it yet! So I thought since it was our 6th anniversary on Sunday it would be a good time to do this tag. And I have some cute pictures but they won't upload so I will try again later!

Where did you meet? I actually dated his friend Greg for a while and he said he had his eye on me the whole time we were dating! Ha ha. Then after Greg and I broke up, Nick was cruising main in his Jeep with some friends and we met up with them. Pretty funny!

How long did you date before you were married? Well let's see.... we dated for a year and a half before his mission. Then after he came back we dated for one week and then he asked me to marry him! So technically one year six months and one week.

How long have you been married? 6 years on Sunday

What does he do that surprises you? He is always doing things that surprise me. The other day while I was getting ready he cleaned my kitchen, living room, vacuumed the whole house, and rearranged the furniture in our bedroom! He is amazing. Also, a lot of times when I come home from work he has already made dinner!

What is your favorite feature of his? His eyes are awesome and he has a really cute butt! Ha ha.

What is your favorite quality of his? He is such a hard worker! He gets up every morning at 3 and goes to work. He works long days and then comes home and picks up the kids and plays with them for a couple of hours before I come home. Most nights they are already fed, bathed and in their pajamas before I even get home! It is so nice. He is a great dad too. The kids are always so excited to see him. And of course he has a great sense of humor. He is always making us all laugh.

Does he have a nickname for you? He has called me mama ever since we had Avree.

What is his favorite color? Probably Black or Red. I am not really sure.

What is his favorite food? Probably Turkey Steak

What is his favorite sport? Basketball, but he likes to watch all kinds of sports on TV.

When and where was your first kiss? Summer of '99 in my parents driveway. I even remember what I was wearing. Ha ha!

Favorite thing to do as a couple? Probably go to dinner and the movie. Or boating.

Do you have any children? 2 Avree is 3, and Kason is 1

Does he have a hidden talent? He can fix just about anything. He gets this from his dad who can fix ANYTHING!

How old is he? 27

Who said I love you first? He did, and of course I said it back!!

What is his favorite type of music? He likes everything but his favorite is Rap/Hip Hop.

What do you admire most about him? His testimony is so strong and he is so smart. I can ask him questions about all kinds of things and he knows the answers! Also, his sophomore year of High School he was hanging out with friends that he had forever. They started to do things that he knew were not right and so he just stopped hanging out with them. He said that he didn't really have friends for a while but eventually his best friend now, Nick, asked him to hang out with them and they have been really close ever since. I really admire him for that. I know that I couldn't have left my friends in High School. He is a person who always stands up for what he knows is right.

Do you think he will read this? Probably not, but maybe if he knows it is about him then he will!

Halloween!! Fall Fun!

We have been BUSY! Last Saturday was the Homecoming parade for USU and Avree was in the parade for dance. Then after the parade we went to the Pumpkin Walk. The kids loved the pumpkin displays. Also we went to Grandma G's to rake leaves, we had so much fun jumping in the piles. Grandma G told Avree all of the types of leaves and Avree kept saying " Mom did you know this is Maple leaf?" She was so cute!

Wow! We had a great Halloween this year! I am still laughing at all of the funny costumes! We celebrated with my fam during the day and then Nick's mom had an awesome party at her house on Halloween night. We had so much fun. We went trick-or-treating, bobbed for apples, hit a pinata, and just laughed at each other and visited. It was the most fun we have had on Halloween in a long time. Here are the hilarious pics from the night.
