Girls Weekend!!!!

Last weekend Mom and I went to Mesquite for my cousins baby shower and some QUALITY GIRL TIME!!!! We headed down Saturday morning, but didn't make it to our hotel until like 7:00! We hung out in St. George shopping for a few hours! Then we headed to Mesquite and got checked into our room and headed to a movie! (Australia)

Ashley's baby shower was on Sunday. They played games, lots of games, and then she opened her mountain of gifts! After the shower we went to another movie! Marly and Me! It was really cute, a little sad but still really cute.

After the movie we went and ate the Casino. Then headed back to our hotel room where we found a movie on T.V. and just hung out talking and vegging!

Mom snapped this photo of me!

So I had to get this one of her!!!! But we put all of our snacks and Diet Coke on her to show you what we were really doing.

Gotta Love a timer!!!! We had to get a picture of the 2 of us together. We kept forgetting to get one when we were out playing so we took this one instead!

We then headed home on Monday!

Thanks Mom for a fun, well needed weekend! LOVE YOU LOTS!

(Thanks Daddy for paying for it!!!)

Major Blog Update!

Okay so I know I was horrible about blogging in December, but that's because we had such a crazy month! So if you scroll down you can see what we've been up to! I posted things oldest to newest so to see things from the beginning scroll down to Josh & Sommer's wedding! We had a very good month, full of lots of fun, family and friends! We love you all and hope you had a Great Holiday season as well!!!

Happy New Year!!!

We always have a big New Year's Eve party at my Mom and Dads! Sadly this year some of our friends couldn't come! We missed you Dylan, Carly & Kids, Jeffery, Lacey & Boys, Brent, Brook & Girls!

And yet...Another Party!

The Sunday after Christmas we went up to John & Kim Henrichsen home in draper! For those of you who don't know them, they are really good friends of ours. Mom and Dad grew up with John & Kim and we grew up with their kids! Kevin & Diane Hatfield and their family joined us as well!

Telling stories from the "good ole days!"

We sat around visiting and watching all the babies play!

All the older kids were downstairs playing! It was really fun to get together, it's been way too long!

Mom's Family Party!

The Saturday after Christmas was our Christmas party with my mom's siblings and their families! We use to have this party at my mom and dad's but we've gotten so big we've had to have it at a church the last few years!

The guys got a mean game of HORSE basketball going!

Riley , Jordan (cousin's husband), Adam (cousin) & Josh (brother)

Then when more people showed up they switched to Elimination!

Sommer holding one of my cousin Dixie's twins! This is what I occupied my night with, these cute lil' babies!

Most of the family!

When we were cleaning up, Josh thought it would be funny to shove the basketball up his shirt to tease Ashley (my cousin's fiance!)

Chris' family Party!

The day after Christmas we went to Jeff & Jane's house for a family party! We got together with most of Chris' family!

Eating dinner and watching sports!

Crowd of people in the kitchen! It's a really big family!

Kelsey and I!

Christmas Day w/Savannah's Family!

Apparently I only had my camera out while the kids were opening their gifts because I have no pictures of Riley and I or of Mom & Dad! It's a good thing I got some good ones on Christmas Eve.

Hayden, Sommer & Josh!

This was actually the white elephant gift we ended up with at Riley's work party, that we had to wrap up and give to his dad! If you can't tell it's one of those really big remotes with the great big # that anyone can see!!!!

Payton & Jantsen opening their gifts from us! A lump of coal! I couldn't resist! We let them think for a few minutes that that was all they were getting from us then I told them to check under the tissue paper where I had hid their gift cards.
