I wear gold spandex pants!

This is for all my bunko girls. If any of you can beat her outfit for our Christmas party I will give you twenty bucks. I set out on a quest after Terryn posted her on her blog. This is what I found... Enjoy.

How sweet it is...

Addison & Berkley in their Aunt Jemima/Ja Rule Headbands! Olivia & her new little brother Caleb!

It's time that I show you some pictures of some of my favorite people in the whole world. My three adorable nieces and super cute nephew. I decided that I think that being an aunt is the best thing in the entire world. I love that every time I see Olivia she wants me to paint her nails, and now I am the only one who is allowed to do it. I am sure that my sister doesn't appreciate the fact that she is always wearing one of the four pairs of princess pumps that I bought her for Christmas. You can always hear her clicking around in the grocery store, or even at church. Addison and Berkely are definitely a pair. Even though sometimes it is so hard to tell them apart they are already starting to have their own little personalities. Addison squawks like a peacock and we always joke with Berkley telling her that "she doesn't always have to be eating to have a good time."

leaving on a jet plane!

At the MTC.

A couple weeks ago we dropped off Zac's lil brother Mike to the MTC. Mike was called to serve his mission in Atlanta, Georgia. What an amazing experience to watch this young man transform into such an amazing person. We are definitely going to miss him the next two years. He has been in Atlanta for about a week now. He is loving it so far. He says that the people there are all so friendly. He says he is the only white guy there and he thinks his mission president is the "coolest guy I have ever met." So I guess all that means he is doing good. We will keep you posted on his progress and let you know how he is doing. When the time comes closer for him to come home I will start taking offers from eligible young woman who want to date this total hot stud when he gets home.

Farewell Baby Bash!

We had a baby shower for Jamie at my mom's house recently. I still think I laugh when I think about one of us actually having a kid. I am so excited for her. She is having a baby girl and is going to name her Lucy. The shower was bittersweet because it was also Jamie's last weekend in Utah. Her and Trent are off to Ohio to start medical school. I still think that reality hasn't set in that they are actually going to be gone. All the girls from junior high were there. It so great that we all still keep in contact. We have been through much together. Our awkward gawky stages, our teen years, many boyfriends, junior high and high school, and now husbands and kids. I must admit though that there were too many babies there and it gave me a little bit of anxiety. It was so much fun to spend time together and to say goodbye to Jamie before she left. I promised her that we would plan the annual Hideous Christmas Sweater Party while they are here for Christmas. We love you J, we will miss you a lot!

The Family



Here's some pictures for our vacation to Lake Powell. It was a blast. Luckily we have an amazing photographer in the family (Tim) who can capture it all. We spent all week just having fun in the water, eating like pigs, and having mad nertz wars. I learned how to wakeboard. I was so proud of myself. I came home with only minor bumps and bruises. One cut on one leg from running into the anchor and and big bruise on the other. We had so much fun spending all that time with our family. Hopefully Lee won't get rid of the boat. At least until after next year...

Worst Blogger Ever!

I officially win the award for worst blogger ever because I have not updated my blog in two months. I check everyone else's. My cord to my camera has been locked and packed away in Chris and Sara's garage for a couple months. But I am happy to announce. Tada... We have moved into our condo finally. I still haven't found the cord, but as soon as I do I will bring you some pictures.
