January......Birthdays

Well January has been pretty busy. We went to TOADS for Brandon's cousin's little boys B-day party. The kids had a blast playing.

Then it was both my parents birthdays and we celebrated them by going to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. They sang happy birthday to my parents and made my Dad sit on a saddle while they sang. He was so embarrased so I had to take a picture of it. So Happy Birthday Mom and Dad! It was AWESOME food and we loved it!

Then last but not least we went to Wendover for Brandon's step-moms Birthday and we WON BIG! Yay for us! Hope you all had a great month...

Ringing in the New Year!!!!

We spent New Years Eve at Brandon's Parents. We had tons of fun playing Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero World Tour and some of the guys played pool. So Happy New Year to all of you!


My cute in-laws.




My retarded brother-in-laws








HaPpY HoLiDaYs!!!!!!!

This is going to be a HUGE post!!!! Our Holidays started out with a trip on The Heber Creeper-The Polar Express. If any of you know my dad he is a HUGE Polar Express fan so he bought us all tickets to go. We went the day before Thanksgiving. It was tons of fun and the kids loved it! I even made my dad a scrapbook of it and had Shutterfly print it up for me. It was his Christmas Present and he LOVED it. I will have to say that Shutterfly did an AMAZING job at printing it up. Thanks DAD!





Then Christmas Eve we went to Brandon's Aunt Deanna's so that the kids could open their presents from her.


We gave the kids their big present from us on Christmas Eve too cause we didn't want to pack it around. It was a computer and they were so excited to get it running.



We went to my parents on Christmas Eve for a party then left there and we went to Mike and Betsy house(good family friends of Brandon's family). We ended up at Brandon's parents where we stayed the night on Christmas eve because Brandon's brothers have both joined the Air Force and we don't know when we will have a Christmas with them again. It was so fun for the kids to stay there though. We opened our presents Christmas morning. I got a new camera from Brandon's parents which was an AWESOME surprise. I needed a new one so bad and it is a really, really nice one. I was so excited. I also got some boots, some jeans and a straightening iron from my parents. Brandon gave me a steamer mop for my floors and I love it too. Brandon and I got a digital picture frame from his parents. Lilly got a pink digital camera, and Alyssa and Hayden got Nintendo DS's. Plus tons more stuff. Brandon got a new cell phone and a IPOD. So I will have to say we got spoiled! Steve made us an AWESOME breakfast and my parents and Joe came down to watch the kids open their gifts and have breakfast with us. It was so nice that we could all be together Christmas morning. We hung out at Brandon's parents all day and ended up getting snowed in that night and stayed there again.
Lilly also got tons of clothes from Aeropostale which is her new favorite place to shop. She also got some cute boots.

So.....I hope you all had a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS! We sure did.
