Happy 75th Grandma!

Today is my grandma's 75th birthday. She is the best! She is always making us laugh and is so loving. We did a birthday party for her over the weekend, lots of family and friends came to show their love for her. She enjoyed herself...the smile never left her face. This is the princess crown and birthday button we gave her. Happy Birthday "old" Grandma, We Love You!

***I should probably explain the "old" part of that comment***
My sister Big Angela has 5 boys and they have a million different grandma's from so they made up nicknames for all of them. One of her boys were helping with the nicknames and she was telling him that my mom's mom was his great-grandma and showed him a picture and he just started calling her old grandma...now my kids do the same. No she doesn't mind...she loves it.

Brandon and I decided today to open on of his Christmas presents...Sand art! It was pretty fun and quick...yes a little messy, but fun. We made 3 bottles and one necklace. He had fun doing it, I am glad we did them.

Lights at Temple Square

Holy cow the lights were awesome this year. It was freezing and foggy but it made for some really cool pictures....







Does he not look like he would like to jump out of that stroller and strangle me?

Christmas 2009

Here are a few pics from Christmas at our house.

We started at the end...Look at the major haul once again this year. Spoiled Boy!

Can you see Brandon behind all of that wrapping paper?

Tyler...Don't get in the box! Take the presents out!

Every kid needs Christmas Jammies!


Gotta go see santa! It is very important, or he won't know what you want!

When all is said and done...Even the tree was tired! I am just glad it was halfway standing on Christmas morning. I think next year I might have to go a little bit bigget so the stand will acutally touch the trunk!

Wii Fit Plus...Fun for whole family!

So as you know we got the Wii for Christmas. As a part of that gift I got the Wii Fit Plus for myself, or so I thought. Brandon loves it! He plays with it more than I do. I think that the hoola hoop challenge is the funniest to watch, so I made Brandon do it and let me video him. Way funny! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.....

Happy Anniversary!

So I tried to scan a picture from our wedding, since we got married before they put pictures onto discs, and my scanner decided to stop working. So no picture today. ;0(
We are celebrating 9 years today (30th) and I can hardly believe it. I was able to go see the lights at the temple a couple weeks ago and it was foggy, it totally took me back to all the emotions of the day we were married forever in the temple 9 years ago at who knows early in the morning. Yes folks...It was EARLY! So foggy, I might add that we couldn't even see where we were going on the freeway on the way there. Who knew then that we would be so blessed to have our 2 little boys and have a family! I am glad for everything we have been through, good and bad, hard and easy...through it all we are still so much in love 9 years later. It is a little sad this year as this is the first time we have not been together to think back on all of the wonderful times we have had together as a couple. Good thing there are telephones :0)
I love you honey! Thanks for the memories and laughter...and many more to come! Love ya!
