SNOW

It has been snowing a lot lately and I love it.. To drive in it and the coldness are not as fun but I love playing in it and just laying and watching it fall. This weekend Kyla came to visit and so we decided to play.. We went to a elementary school and went sledding on the big hill there. It was a lot of fun. As we were sledding we decided to build a jump from the snow, well for the life of us neither one of us could hit it as we went down the hill. It was pretty pathetic but we had so much fun in the process. Thanks Kyla for such a fun weekend. I LOVE YOU



And I have to add that when we got back to my place after sledding I wanted to hurry and shovel the driveway where we park because I hate going out at 4 in the morning on my way to work and its all icy and slippery, so when we got home I started to shovel the driveway. Well I had already taken off my ski pants because they were wet and I did not want them to get my seats all soaked so I just had my long johns on, some leggins a sweat shirt my jacket and boots. Kyla snapped this one. LOL...

Happy Thanksgiving

So Friday after thanksgiving we decided to decorate ginger bread houses and put up the christmas tree. My mom really got into the gingerbread house decorating and it was so funny to see her getting all excited and picky about how it looked and copying the box.. Errin and Kyla on the other hand were not picky at all about there houses and it was fun to see how they all turned out..

Halloween

Its been a while since I have posted anything but I think its time for something new. Last weekend I went to a Halloween work party. It was a ton of fun and a great turn out. My friend and co worker Megan had the party at her house and she had her house decorated to the max. It was incredible. So for Halloween I was a "official stud finder." kind of cheesy but fun.

Ali's Birthday Party

This weekend I went to St George and celebrated Princess Ali's 4th Birthday Party. I can't believe she is already 4. Time has gone by so fast.
We had the party at the pool at my mom's and Errin did a fantastic job of decorating the place. Aubrey made the cake and dressed up as sleeping beauty. Ali was speechless. It was a lot of fun.

Hogle Zoo

So my sister Errin came to SLC for the weekend to a photography workshop. I talked her into bringing Ali up so we could play. And then my brother Michael called and he wanted to come visit too, so I told him to come too. Well we had a rough night friday night. Ali had caught a flu bug and ended up throwing up all friday and friday night, it was no fun I don't believe I had ever used my washer and dryer as much as I used it last night, it seemed that every hour we had something new to wash. Poor chicken was so miserable, I felt so bad for her. By saturday she was feeling better, we started off with some soup for breakfast and then she was able to stomach some pudding, and feeling pretty good so we decided to go to the zoo. We had a great time and saw lots of different animals, we rode the train and carousal. I only wish Errin could have come with us.

Hiking

So I have been hiking a lot lately and love it. I just joined this club called wasatch hike club and it is everything from hiking, climbing, skiing, snow shoeing, canooing,biking. You name it and they do it. Its awesome the club has printed out a magazine each month with full detailed activies and basically I just show up to whatever I want to do. Im really excited because for years now I have wanted to get back into rock climbing but have no one to go with and now I can just show up and go with a group. Also the big plus is my roomate Rachel was the one who introduced it to me so now I have a climbing and hiking buddy. I am so EXCITED.... Here are some pics. I climbed up to the MT Timpanogos caves sat and then Willow Lake on Wed. Way fun.

Kenny Chesney Concert

So my roomate Camille has season tickets to the Real Soccer Games. So when we heard that Kenny was coming because of her season tickets she got half off on the Kenny tickets. So we sat on the 15th row, right next to the stage and only paid $79.00 a piece. The area we were sitting in the tickets were $250.00 a piece, so we got a crazy deal. The concert started out at 5:30 with Lady Antebellam,then Sugarland performed and then about 9:00 Kenny came out and did the most amazing show. I loved every second of it and we were so close to, it could not have gotten any better. Thanks Camille..

4th of July

I went home to St George for the 4th, and had a amazing time. Friday we went to breakfast at 25 and Main, and then afterwards went to my moms for swimming. That evening I went with Errin and Jared to Dayne and Courtni's for dinner and poker. Courtni made fajita's and Errin brought some awesome guacamole. Saturday we woke up and went to Zions. My mom packed some sandwiches and we hiked Emerald Pools. We started out with the lower pool and then hiked up to the middle and upper pools. The upper pool had a ton of water from all the rain and we were able to swim in it. It was cool and refreshing from the hot sun. Even Ali had a great time and was a great hiker. She loved swimming in the upper pool and we could not get her out. We had a great time. After wards we went back to my moms and swam some more and then got ready and watched the fire works. It was so great to see my grandparents and spend time with my mom's side of the family. That is one thing I miss living in Salt Lake is not seeing everyone. Thanks for a Fabulous weekend...
