Since You've Been Gone....

So much has happened since my last post! I'll try to do a quick run-thru of what you've missed. Then I promise (for those of you who really care), to try and keep it updated more frequently.

The weekend before Christmas we went to St. George to spend some time with Chris' family. It was so cool cause it snowed a couple days before we got there and everything was just so white! Chris's little sisters Amanda and Sara even made a snow castle! It was amazing!

It was also Chris and mine's 5th Anniversary! Wow, time flies! Chris spent the day snowboarding in Brianhead, and I spent the day at the local laundromat cleaning a giant blanket Crew threw-up on. Not so much fun. But the night was much better, Chris and I went to an awesome Brazilian Steakhouse for dinner.

Christmas Eve we had dinner at my house, and my parents, my aunt and some friends came over to enjoy it with us. Kaylee got to decorate some cookies for Santa, and they even got to open an early Christmas present.

The kids were really excited Christmas morning. They opened all their gifts and had a great time.
New Years Eve I had to work, but after work Chris and I played the Wii, and drank some sparkling cider... a low key night, but it was fun.

PHOOSON!!!!

Phooson was great! We got there a little late due to the fact that I was a little drugged up (I'll tell you some other time if you care to know), but we still made it to see some good acts. We had lawn seats, which is basically just some grass very far away from the stage. Chris and I snuck into the seats below for a few of the performances, but we got kicked out after Katie Perry and had to go sit on the grass.

I felt so young that night, maybe it's because I was surrounded by thousands of 12-14 year olds, or maybe it's because I didn't have to watch my own kids. Either way, it was a really great time and I'm pretty sure Chris enjoyed it too. (Especially the Pussy Cat Dolls).

Well over-due.

Thanksgiving was great! After I got done with the previous blog, we started to drive up the mountain toward the cabin, and not too shortly after...we were completely lost! Yes, it was my fault. First I gave the wrong directions to Chris, then when he suspected we were lost, I said, "No, we're going the right way, it's just a little further." I then climbed into the drivers seat and drove us 30 miles in the wrong direction... it was a long night, and if I haven't formally apologized to Chris yet... I'm sorry!

The rest of the time was great. Mostly just relaxing, playing the Wii, and pool, and doing puzzles. We ate ALOT, thanks to my awesome Aunt Sandy. She's the best! Kaylee had a blast, and so did Crew.

He is a manic dipper, if there is any sort of dip around he must put his chip or cracker in it. I caught him trying to reach some dip on the table... too cute!

We also went fishing... unsuccessfully. Not a bite! But it was still fun, and cold.

Driving and Blogging...

Isn't technology great?! Chris is driving right now and I am surfing the internet! We are on our way to the cabin up in Big Bear Lake, CA. It is raining and right now, and most likely snowing up there. We are meeting up with my dad's side of the family for our Thanksgiving Feast! This should be a great weekend of fun. Hopefully I can snap a few good pics and have something to post when I get back home! Happy Thanksgiving all! Hope yours is safe and fun!

Ok...Tagged AGAIN!

4th and 4th

1. Go to your picture files on your computer

2. Go to the 4th folder

3. Go to the 4th picture in the 4th folder

4. Post it and tell what you remember about that picture.

I found this picture in the fourth position in the fourth folder. This was Kaylee for Halloween when she had just turned two. She was a pirate! Super cute! I was pregnant with Crew at the time, and we were at the neighbors house having our annual Halloween Party! It was the first of many!

I will tag: Jobey, Laura, Michelle, and Suzee!

Winner Winner!

Last night I was driving home from Costco, and I noticed on my car radio (where the artist and song are usually displayed) it looked like this:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PHOOSON TIX @ 5:35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked at the clock and it was 5:35! *For those of you that don't know, Phooson is a concert that this radio station hold every year and it has tons of sweet artists at it.*

So I got my cell phone out and thought, "What the heck, I'll give it a try."

It was busy.... darn! So I hung up and tried just one more time.... ring!!

Guess who was caller 104, and won two tickets to PHOOSON!?!?!

Yes, that's right, it was me! I even got to listen to myself on the radio... I sounded so dumb! But this was the first time I've ever won anything, so I was really excited and shocked at the same time!

My little Quirks

Jamie tagged me, and I guess I have to do this. It's taken me some time to think of little quirks about me, so here goes...

Rules; 1 Link the person who tagged you. 2 Mention the rules on your blog. 3 Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours. 4 Tag 6 other bloggers by linking them.

1. Whenever I am at work and I have to sweep the floor, or when I am at home vacuuming or mopping, I put my tongue to the roof of my mouth. I have no idea why, it just happens.

2. When I am drying my hair, straightening it, or even just putting on my makeup, I stand on the outer edges of my feet. I think this is inherited cause my mom does the same thing.

3. In the mornings when I wake up and get out of bed, my feet feel like they are "asleep", and I walk like Frankenstein (according to Chris), until I start to get feeling back in them again.

4. I am obsessed about things being in their "place." My house doesn't necessarily have to be spotless, but everything has a place, and I could tell you where anything in my house is. Even if it's in a box packed away for a long time, I'll remember.

5. I have a really good short term memory. I don't take down orders at work, and I don't take down direction when I'm given them. I visualize what is being told to me and I'll remember it. I can even remember phone numbers for years if I just dial it at least twice.

6. When I go running, my right hand is relaxed and my left hand is squeezed into a tiny fist. I have tried to relax it, but it just goes back into a tiny fist...weird!

Alrighty that's it. Maybe everyone already knew all of that, but oh well. I tag: whoever wants to be tagged! Have fun!
