A Wonderful Day

Yesterday was an amazing day. Brandon blessed Taylor and it was so beautiful. My mom bought Tay a dress and she looked amazing in it! I can't wait til we get to the temple. But the blessing was awesome. Brandon was ordaned two weeks ago and so this was his first time blessing on of our kids. And he was so great! I love it when I can see him cry! Really it was so cool cause he was fine until he saw Taylor walk into the room with her white dress on. And it was cool to have our families there too. We have amazing families. And after the blessing we had dinner at our house and it was so goood! Thanks to Margaret's awesome scones!!!! Love that lady! And we had najavo tacos and they were well ya so good!! we'll be doing that one some more in our family! But it was a great day, the spirit was with us all day. And I'm even more excited because Brandon and I started our temple Prep classes last week so we have 4 more to go and then it's to the temple, we are thinking in May!! So we are going to have like a reception thing after for friends and family to come and hang out and celebrate with us! I can't wait! So it's coming just you wait! And we have been truly blessed! The lord is with us all the time and Satan is really just around the bend, if we aren't careful he sneaks right in. What a blessing to have the gosple in our lives! And I know our ward has helped us so much! I know I have friends for life from this ward! They are so great! And such an example to me and our family!

Time just flys away ...

Well lets see here, it's been a month since I last put anything up here, and to say the least, I didn't even put everything up! So here are my excusses!!

1- I'm sad to say that both our computer and laptop got the same virus and we can't use our internet on them, annoying.

2- We took our laptop to get fixed, it's still not fixed!!! UG $40 dollars down the drain!!!!

3- I have to travel the new 4.5 miles up to my sisters house to use the internet, is that really in excuse? Well I'm saying it is!

4- I have two children?!! Oh yeah and a husband that is being semi-retired until the season picks up. So thus I have 3 children I have to take care of!!

5- I'm just kind of lazy sometimes!

6- I'm also slacking in the taking pictures area!!

Ok so there that is so lets do a quick run down of the month.

On the first we didn't do too much, Brandon and I went and watched my cousin in the iFLY and then went to dinner at CostaVida, which was so dealous!! We are still talking about it. I love that place! Then we went home put the girls to bed and just hung out with the two of us! It was kind of fun! But we went to bed at like 12:30, um yes I know we sound like old people! We need to find more people to hang out with!!
Then on the 6th it was my 24th birthday! And I've never felt so old before! But it was a pretty cool day otherwise, beside seeing old! But I don't think we even took any pictures of it come to think about it ... um I guess that is ok. We did go out to dinner and the girls slept over at my moms, which was pretty cool.
Then lets see ... I've been gone to Young Womans every Thrusday night! (This is a shout out to everyone in my ward that reads this, and the girls!!!) But I love it! It's so much fun, and I've been making some great friends, and hopefully teaching some good lessons on Sundays.
And then on the 21 we celebrated my Daddys birthday! And that was fun.
And my Aunt and Uncle from North Carolina came out here with there two boys, there daughter is out here already for school and work and stuff! So that was lots of fun.

And lets think .... thinking ..... thinking .... yes that is about all, besides seeing friends; high school friends, and other friends. And ya, it's been a pretty good, new year!

Oh by the way ..... HaPpY nEw YeAr!!!! Man it's 2009! That is just weird! So i'm gonna try to upload some pictures, but not positive on that one, and work on this page a bit more.

Christmas

So Christmas is over and so is Christmas Eve and some other Holidays that I haven't blogged about, but I'm only human and can only do so much! Kids take lots of time and so do husbands!! Ha ha I'm only hafe kidding about that!!! ;) Anyways I also just got my pictures unloaded onto this VERY SLOW new laptop we bought, ya it's way freakin slow at loading pictures for some reason, so anyhow ...

Christmas Eve! Oh what a wonderful day! We had so much fun we had dinner at my mom and dad's and it was oh so good! And then we had our Nativity after and then my parents did something new they bore thier testomines to us, so amazing! I love my parents, so spiritual. But then we all opened our new pajammies!! And it was so fun! The house was FULL of kids and love and laughter! I love it! So here are some picures of that, ( this may be a little bit long! Gonna get ya all caught up!)



My Mom got all us kids these boxes from Lehi Mills and it's all this breakfast stuff!



Here are the girls in there Jammies, I really don't like to match them but I just couldn't pass these up! They are so dang cute, and on the back of the robe it says "Yee Haw" So fun!!



Here we are opening our new jammies! This is one of my most favorite things! Look forward to it every year!! Who doesn't like new jammies? I wear my year round, I get really cold and they are very warm!!!



Here are all the grandkids, and soon to be grandkids, with our moose as the baby, hey we improvised! It's nice to have enough kids that we older kids just sit and watch it! Love it! They were so funny!!



My moms tree, so pretty!! And this is presents before Santa and the rest of the Aunts and Uncles added to it! It was great!


So that was christmas eve, and christmas day, WOW! Santa sure loves us or we have been EXTRA GOOD this year!!!;) We first went to my Mom and Dads house, we had to be there at 7:30 so we woke the girls up, they were asleep in our beds, no surprise here, well first having kids makes Christmas so much more fun, cause you get to "set stuff up" and do all that fun stuff, Brandon and I didn't go to bed, well fall asleep til like 3, we were both so excited! It was really funny, but we got the girls up looked at our stuff Santa left us and packed into the car and drove to my mom's where we had doughnuts and juice and waited for everyone to get there. And then all the kids line up, youngest to oldest and run into the room to see what Santa left! It was awesome! We had so much fun, the girls are at that stage where it's all exciting and they are starting to understand it all, they really get it now, Santa gives us lots of fun toys and clothes!! Well as they call him, Ho Ho. But we opened up our presents there and then headed back to our house, it was snowing and so perfect! I loved it! That was the only traveling we had to do that day! So nice! Then we opened up ALL of our gifts and the girls knew exactaly what to do, they got new pillows and pillow cases from santa so they sat on them and just started opening up! It was so funny, I loved it! I could do it every day it was so fun!! But Brandon and I also had some gifts under the tree as well, I so couldn't wait for him to open his!! He was really shocked at the things I got him, a new Carhartt Coat his been wanting forever, new cowboys boots that I LOVE! They are so HOT!! And some new clothes( I always worry when I buy him clothes so this year I got him some Cowboys clothes and he likes them alot, they aren't from Old Navy!!! Cowboys are funny that way!!) And then he had some great gifts for me as well, some new hoodies, so super cute sandles, and the perfum I've been wanting and it SMELLS AMAZING!!! WOW! And then last but not least, everything had been opened and Brandon was all what's that in the cornor?? Under those blankets?? And I looked and was like oh he has some more things hidden and so I go and take off the stuff and it's a big box with the sweetest note on it for his "beautiful and wonderful wife who he is so lucky picked him and gets to spend eternity with!" I'm of course bawling like a baby cause I know what it is and I didn't think I was getting one but I opened it up and it was my Kitchen Aid!!! Oh man it was so amazing! I've wanted one for so long and I finally got one!! Oh let the caking and making begin! I'm so inspired now to cook!!! But it was great cause just as we got all the paper picked up his Dad and Brothers and Sister had come over, and brought a TON of gifts! Oh man it was crazy!!! But so much fun!!! I loved it and so did the girls, they got these super cute Build a Bears I love them! I have them up on shelves in there room cause Hadley was taking off the clothes and I didn't want to lose anything! But then Brandons Dad just spoiled the girls so much! They got all kinds of things from him, bags and bags of things. And then we had a lunch with them and they girls took naps, they were so tired Hadley went a put herself to bed! And we started to watch a movie and they left in the middle of it and we tried to take a nap but couldn't so we just hung out til the girl got up and then picked up a bit more and started Dinner cause my parents were coming over to see what we got and have dinner with us! So I made some Chocolate Covered Strawberris to celebrate! They were yummo!! And that night we made a fire and we all fell asleep in the living room by it. It was so much fun! I love our families! They are the greatest!! I hope you all had as much fun as we did! And may the season always be in your hearts!!

The "Twilight" experience!!

Twilight ....

Ok so I saw the movie tonight. I'll be honest I wasn't way excited or thrilled or really cared who played what part. I also kind of cheated and read a bunch of reviews. So I went into the movie, sorry for all of you fans, but I just don't get into movies and books to much that I have to clap and were shirts that support it, I just laught and look around at all the funny monkeys! PS to all my friends who do this I still love you all the same, this just doesn't "float my boat"

But I have never read the books. I haven't really talked about it with people, all they tell me is, "YOU'VE GOT TO READ THEM" ya ya ya. maybe one day I will but truth must be told, it just doesn't sound like fun to me ... even after seeing the movie.

So since I was problably the ONLY person in that whole audience that had no expections or visions in my head of things, or how something should be or what they should have put in or foucsed more on or not done this or that. I was suprisingly pleased with the movie. It held my addention, the scared me in parts, I "felt the love" and I just thought "Wow that wasn't all too bad" - Yes some parts were a bit on the cheese side for me but oh well what movie doesn't have a cheesey line in it?

I went to this movie with My mom, sister, sister in law, cousin, oh and my neice (ok so maybe 2 of us hadn't read the books, she's 10, but she wants too now!! Funny girl) And it was a nice evening out. We went to dinner after and it was just so funny to listen to them talk about it and oh he's important in this book

"She is so important for the next book"

"I wish they would have talked about this"

"They should have not foucsed so much on Bella and Edward"

and blah blah blah.

So I give you MY review of the movie from a "NON READER SIDE"

*** I enjoyed the movie. I liked how the actors kept my attention, I like Edward, I like Jacob (truth be told I leaned over to my mom and said, "So that is Jacob? I thought he was white!" Ha ha ha, that's what I get!!) But he was still cute. Edward was cute, I highly wish I could "Hang on like a spider monkey" and fly in the trees too! Wow that would just be fun! I loved the Cullen Family! They just rocked, I love the kitchen sceen! So funny! (Truth be told I also felt akward in that sceen!!) But the Doctor was cute! Loved his wife! And the kids were pretty sweet too! I loved the "black vampire" (sorry, I know I don't know names!!) he was pretty cool! I loved the fight sceen in the ballet studio, just totally different! I liked how you could also feel the sexual tendsion between Bella and Edward. Wow can you say I sometimes felt I soundn't be in the "room" with them!! As you can tell for someone who never read it, it was a pretty dadgum good movie!

So for all of you on "TEAM EDWARD" - Ya more power to ya!!!

And for all of you on "TEAM JACOB" -Ya more power to ya!!! (I hope I see more of him in the next film!!! {Don't worry my mom already told me he has a big part in it!})

So I say go and see it! Don't keep your hopes up if you have them set high if you have read the books, that is never a good thing cause there will be forsure a let down somewhere! They just can't fit a book into a movie, unless it's like a western or something!!

Anyways, my beloved "Twilight fans" I'll say this .... Wow! That is pretty fun!!
