*christmas break

This Christmas break Laci, Nate and Bladen flew in from Illinios. I LOVE when they come visit because we don't get to see them very often. With Bladen growing by the minute, it is so fun to have him around. He is the center of attention and he knows it!! This year was kinda crappy because me and my mom got really sick. I woke up during the night on Christmas eve and had the worst sore throat and couldn't even swallow. I didn't even get out of my PJ's until Monday. I was so weak. My whole body ached, I had a sore throat, fever, headache, and was throwing up!! I finally broke down and went to the doctor on Saturday and I feel sooo much better! I hated being sick with Laci here because I never get to see them and I didn't want to lay in bed while they went out and did fun things.
Christmas was great and we got lots of gifts. Me and Ty got lots of clothes and his parents gave us a GPS which we were really excited about. We were suppose to go up to Richfield to have Christmas with his parents on Friday but Tyler ended up going alone since I was too sick. We are so grateful for all our families and that we can be together during the holidays!!
I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do on Christmas because I was sick, but here are the ones I did take:



Papa and Bladen watching TV. Bladen loves my dad and they could sit there all day and watch Westerns together.

Every year me and my bestest of friends have a Christmas party. It has been a tradition since we were in like 5th grade. We love getting together and eating, chatting about what's new in our lifes and exchanging gifts! This year we decided to do things different with gifts since we are all poor. We did homemade gifts! It was so much fun and I think we will contine doing it! I had so much fun and it was so good to see everyone! I love Christmas time because it means you can get together with everyone close to you and have fun parties and eat lots!! :)

Of course we had to make a toast but since we don't drink the real stuff, we settled for sparkling cider!!

Last night me and Tyler went to the SUU game with Austin and Annie and Chris and Chauny. After we went to Chris and Chauny's and made gingerbread houses! It was really fun but challenging because everyone's roof kept caving in! Haha we all had to get creative! Here are the pics:

Last night me and Tyler went down to St. George with some of our friends and had a little holiday date night!! We went with Dani and Ray and Ashlee and Tyler. First off we went to Tuacahn and watched the live nativity scene. It is really cool, they have all real animals and everything!! After that we went to dinner at Olive Garden, of course!

We love date nights and look forward to them each week :) Everyone was making fun of my because I was trying to snap a photo every chance I could to put it on here!! So I hope you like them!

*christmas time

Me and Tyler put up our christmas tree and it was a fun way to start our first Christmas together. It is a real tree so it was a little difficult to decorate! Putting on the lights was a challenge!! We wanted to go chop it down ourselves but it was crappy weather and we didn't have a saw.. Tyler thought he was going to shoot it down...SCARY! So instead we just went across the street and bought one instead!It turned out cute and we are getting in the Christmas spirit!

Salt Lake Trip

A couple weekends ago we went up to Salt Lake to go shopping and so the boys could meet with Vision Securities. We went up with Austin and Annie. It was way fun, we stayed at her uncle's house and shopped away! We got to go to dinner with Josh and Sunny. We never see them anymore since they moved. We went to The Mayan....which was GROSS.. but it was really good to see them!!

My First Blog!

This is my first time ever blogging! Annie has wanted me to get one for so long so I finally decided to create one. It might take me some time to get use to. I am excited to keep in touch with people this way. I love to hear about what people are doing and see where they have done in their lives!
