Happy Halloween!

2011-11-05T19:33:00.001-07:00

I loved Halloween this year!! The weather was amazing, and I got to go trick or treating again!! It's great having a kid, it makes the holidays even better:) Trey was Mickey Mouse, his obsession. It was a fun night, I love Halloween so much! Now......Christmas time!!!!!!!!!! Oh, I graduate in 6 weeks!!!

Cutest boy I know!

it's been a while..........

2011-09-23T21:14:00.000-07:00

I don't even know the last time I posted! Warning: this post contains some complaining and negativity. I have just been reading requirements for my board exams and I am filled with anxiety and fear! In three months, I take five of the most important tests I will ever take. I am so terrified I can't even tell you! Every day I try to be positive and not be afraid, but for the past 4 days I have had non-stop anxiety and constant butterflies in my stomach. I know it will just keep getting worse unless I can find a way to calm the freak down! Any advice would be superb:) Anywho, I will do a little update on the fam for those of you who made it through the obnoxious whining above! Chris is in his last semester at BYU and working part time at Magleby's. As you know, I am in my last semester of dental hygiene school and graduate in December. Trey is the most amazing, adorable little boy I could ever ask for. He is getting big so fast it makes me a little sad! He loves Micky Mouse Clubhouse and wants to watch it all the time. He points the remote at the t.v. and yells "ME!!!" (me means mickey). We had a good summer, busy with school but pretty good. Last week was my birthday and we were able to go to La Caille for dinner. It was so beautiful and the food was delicious! I am so excited for fall and the happiness of pumpkins, leaves, crisp air, sweatshirts, cider, pumpkin patches, Halloween, candy, etc. I love fall so much it is one thing I can look forward to during this most stressful time of my life. Sorry about the random post, just throwin some things out there. Here are a couple of picture from La Caille and a picture of me and Trey in the pool, doesn't he look so big!!

Blast from the past....

2011-06-10T21:35:00.001-07:00

When Chris went on his mission I put a bunch of pictures in a frame collage. For about 3 years that frame collage has been in my garage, so tonight I finally took the pictures out. I scanned them to the computer and here they are! I have loved this boy since I was 16, that's almost 10 years!! Crazy.

In loving memory...

2011-05-29T11:36:00.000-07:00

As many of you know, Trey's middle name is Ashton. Ashton is the name of Trey's cousin, and my nephew, who passed away when he was only one year old. Because it is Memorial Day weekend I just wanted to write a little bit about sweet baby Ashton. Ashton was born on July 30, 2006. He was such a beautiful little baby with the cutest face and lips I have ever seen! Ashton spent almost all the days of his life in Primary Children's Hospital. I don't think they were ever positive about what was wrong with him, and he passed away on August 7, 2007. I loved this little boy so much, and so did anyone who ever laid eyes on him. He was so incredibly loved, and I am grateful to know that he is in a safe place and that he is happy now. My sweet Aunt also lost a baby, and on his headstone is engraved the most beautiful quote. Every Memorial Day when I read it I can't control my tears. I believe it is true of all little ones who leave us too early, this is what it says:
"An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth. Then whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for earth". ~author unknown
Every night I ask Heavenly Father to give Ashton a kiss for me and tell him we love him, because I know Ashton is right there with Him.

Pictures by Jackie

2011-04-29T22:37:00.000-07:00

The other day Jackie took some pictures of me and Trey. The plan was to take pictures of the skirt I made so I could put them on my craft blog, but we ended up taking some with Trey too and I think they look awesome! Jackie did such a good job:) (Sorry there are kindof alot!)

A few different posts...

2011-04-29T11:30:00.000-07:00

Since I haven't posted for a little while, I am going to post a few so I don't end up with one extremely large post! First of all, I am in the middle of a three week break from school right now. My third semester ended about a week and half ago, and I start my 4th semester on May 9th. Having this break has been amazing, but it will make it so hard to go back!! I have two more semesters and will graduate in December. I just have to make it till then!!!

PLEASE!!!

If you haven't had your teeth cleaned in a while, or don't have dental insurance, let me clean your teeth!!! It's only $10 for a cleaning, x-rays, exam, etc. I really need patients so ask anyone you can think of if they would like their teeth cleaned! We see one patient a day, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons starting at 1, and Wednesday mornings starting at 8 a.m. Thanks:)

Now for a couple more posts...

New Craft Blog

2011-04-29T11:15:00.000-07:00

I have decided to make a new craft blog where I will post about my sewing and craft projects (for those of you who don't care to read about my little projects on my family blog:) One of the nicknames I have for Trey is "love muffin", so that is what I call my new craft blog. Because Trey inspires me to create! Here it is, take a look if you'd like:)

lovemuffininspired.blogspot.com

**I am trying to teach myself how to sew, so if anyone has any tips or help for me that would be awesome!

Easter

2011-04-29T10:34:00.000-07:00

My poor baby has been sick for almost 2 weeks now with an ear infection and a bad cough and cold, so we weren't able to take him to church:( Even though he has been sick, he is still such a happy little man. I love this boy!

St. George trip

2011-04-29T10:13:00.000-07:00

The day after I took my last final I was able to go to St. George and relax for the weekend with my family. We went hiking in Zion's, ate good food, went swimming, shopped, and just had a good time together:)

My Birthday Baby!!!

2011-04-07T21:28:00.000-07:00

Today my sweetest baby boy turned one!! I can't believe he is already a year old, it is so crazy. Trey is an amazing baby. Better than I could have asked for! I love him so much and I am so grateful that he is mine! For his birthday we had some dinner with our families and opened his cute presents. It was a great night, happy birthday love!! Here are a TON of pictures! Isn't he handsome:)

Big Days

2011-04-03T20:34:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday Chris and I had our 5th anniversary! It is so crazy I can't believe we have been married for five years!! And this Thursday is Trey's first birthday!!! I can't even believe how fast that year flew by. I think it went by so fast because it was soo hard. I love both my boys and I'm so grateful to have them in my life!

ANOTHER post about sewing.....

2011-03-21T19:18:00.000-07:00

Sorry folks, my blog is basically just about Trey, sewing, and school! I do have a husband (love you:), but with both of us going to school and takin care of the child, we don't have many awesome adventures to talk about! So I tried to make a skirt a while ago, but I made it too big and screwed up on the zipper so I gave up and was just gonna throw it away. But I decided to give the zipper one more try and finish it even though its too big in the waist. So here it is, not ironed, but finished. My first piece of clothing:) Warning!! Extremely white skin involved, just don't look at it too long.

Quiet weekend

2011-03-20T10:32:00.000-07:00

This weekend I don't think I ever left the house or got out of my pajamas! I played alot with Trey, did a little bit of homework, and tried to make a tote bag. There was a Harry Potter marathon on which I have been watching and I can't wait for the last movie!! (That whole sentence makes me look awesome). It was nice to relax a little bit, because now I have to start preparing for 6 finals and 3 group projects. Yipee!

I like the inside fabric better, now I wish I would have made it the outside!

Is it April yet?!

2011-03-09T20:57:00.000-08:00

I am so happy that I am almost done with my third semester!! This semester has been pretty annoying because we have had so many group projects and busy work I feel like! Plus, lately all I want to do is make things. I want to sew all the time, but I don't really know how so I am kinda just teaching myself along the way. When the semester is over I get three weeks off and I want to take sewing lessons, so if anyone knows a good person or place I could go to that would be helpful:) Here are some pictures of a couple of the simple things I have made trying to figure out this sewing thing that I am falling in love with!!

Little Clutch

Awesome ugly Christmas sweater:)

Car seat cover

pillow for my living room

pillow for Boz

Anywho, I love it, but I want to be able to make bags and clothes and anything I feel like, so hopefully I can take some good lessons over my break and become a little seamstress! PS: my baby is turning 1 in a month!! What?!

10 1/2 Months!

2011-02-20T21:50:00.000-08:00

Trey is getting so big, I can't believe he is almost one! He is a better baby than I could have ever asked for and I can't even describe how much I love him! It's quite a lot:)

He is not messin around in this picture

Grandma Kathy was trying to get him used to wearing his cute beanie:)

Hello.

2011-01-19T18:58:00.000-08:00

Well I have been in my 3rd semester for almost 3 weeks now. School is hard and I am tired. But at least I have a cute cute baby to make me happy when I am stressed and overwhelmed with everything! I still need patients this semester on Wednesdays at 1:30. If anyone would like to be my patient it would help me a ton! It's only ten dollars for a cleaning, but it is a longer appointment (2 hours 45 min.) I know that's long but it's a great deal! Anyways, here are some pics of my baby boy, I just love that happy smile!

Happy New Year!!

2011-01-01T10:23:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve. Chris had to work last night till about 11:30, so Trey and I went to eat with my parents and then hung out at home because it was so freakin cold! Trey played with his toys and watched his favorite movie while I attempted to sew my first real item. I made Trey a new car seat cover. It's definitely not amazing, but it will work I think and I loved the fabric! When I finish school I am going to take sewing lessons so I can make whatever I want! My new year's resolution is to make it through school this year and graduate:) There are some other things I want to do but that is the main thing, I just need to make it to December!!! Happy New Year!

Trey didn't want to look away from his movie!

Whenever Trey is trying to touch something he isn't supposed to and I say no, he turns around and gives me this big smile, and then turns back around to try and keep touching it!

Amazing

2010-12-20T20:58:00.001-08:00

I don't know if I am the last one to see this, but I thought it was so amazing! This is a picture that was taken from the Provo tabernacle that burned down. The whole picture is burned except for Christ. Amazing. Merry Christmas, I hope we all remember what Christmas is about and give thanks for all that we have in our lives.

Finals are over!

2010-12-17T09:44:00.000-08:00

I have been quite stressed and occupied with studying, but I took my last final yesterday and now I can relax for a minute and enjoy the best time of the year!!! Yesterday I had the wonderful experience of going to the Christmas concert with David Archuleta and the Motab! I loved it, he is so cute like a little puppy and his voice is amazing!!! Thanks to my sister Jen we were able to go! I was also able to go the the Christmas devotional a week or two ago with my family that was really good. At the beginning of the month Jen and I took Trey and Gavin to the festival of trees which I love to do every year. So the next two weeks will be filled with Christmas movies, music, family, food, and the happiness that no school brings! Oh, and studying for the big test I have in 2 weeks on everything I have learned the past 2 semesters. Anyway, it's going to be a nice little break:)

what did I do?

2010-11-30T20:36:00.001-08:00

I have done it before. My hair is now extremely dark. I'm a little depressed and trying not to be! When I'm a dental hygienist I'll be able to afford keeping it blond. Until then, I may be secretly sad.

Thanksgiving

2010-11-28T14:49:00.001-08:00

We got back yesterday from our St. George Thanksgiving getaway! It was so fun to have a little break and spend time with family in a great place. We went four wheeling, hiking, hot tubbing, etc. The thing I did the very most was EAT! I'm pretty sure I didn't stop eating the whole time. It was so fun to be with Trey on his first Thanksgiving! He ate applesauce for his feast:) Thanks Crawford family for the awesome trip!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2010-11-22T17:05:00.000-08:00

We will be spending ours in St. George and I'm so excited to relax for a little bit and eat eat eat!!! Everyone have a good one and travel safe:)

Halloween and random pictures

2010-10-31T18:17:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a while since I posted anything, so here are some random pictures of the last few weeks! Trey will be 7 months on Nov. 7 and is so cute:)

Birthday!

2010-09-17T21:41:00.000-07:00

Today my twin sister Jackie and I turned 25. I feel pretty old, but it was a really good birthday! I ate lunch at Tucano's with my family, then went to the mall for a bit, and then went to Gardner Village! I really love the fall, Halloween atmosphere there! Thanks all of you who made my birthday so great:)

Back to school....

2010-09-04T10:52:00.000-07:00

Well I have had the last 3 weeks off from school and it has been amazing!! It has been so nice being able to spend all this time with Trey, and I am dreading going back! This semester I need to find all my own patients, and I need 3 patients a week so if anyone out there would like a 5 dollar cleaning with x-rays and an exam please please please let me clean your teeth!!! Think of it as a service you are doing for me:) I start at the end of September so let me know if you want to do it!! Anyway, my brother-in-law Cameron got married a couple of weeks ago and here are a few pics from their wedding day. They are such a cute couple and I'm really happy for them!

4 months!

2010-08-16T21:14:00.000-07:00

Time has gone by so fast! Trey turned 4 months old on August 7. He has been so smiley and happy lately!! Here are some more pictures of this cute little man I love so much.

(sorry about my annoying baby voice!!)

A little bit about Chris and Me: Chris just started working at Magleby's restaurant and will start school again at the end of this month. I just got done with my first semester and have 3 weeks off!! I am so happy to be able to spend this time with my family until I start another crazy semester!

3 Months!

2010-07-18T08:55:00.000-07:00

Trey is over three months old now! I can't believe how fast it goes, it makes me want to cry!! I love him more and more everyday!!!!!!!!!

This is his 4th of July outfit, which is slightly incorrect:)

2 months

2010-06-12T08:39:00.000-07:00

Cute little outfit from Grandma Sue

Cute little outfit from Grandma Kathy (socks from Aunt Jamie:)

Trey is 2 months old this week! It has been a very interesting two months, but wonderful having my little boy! Since about the second week after he was born I have been pumping every 2-3 hours so he could have my milk. I tried breastfeeding as long as I could, but his latch was off and I got extremely infected. Now I just pump everyday before and after school and during lunch, and breastfeed him in the middle of the night so Chris doesn't have to wake up. The past two nights Trey let me sleep 6 hours in a row!! He is seriously such an amazing baby, we are very blessed. He went to the Dr. yesterday for his 2 month check up and shots. He only cried for about a minute and he has been fine since! He weighs 10 lbs. 15 oz. and is 23 inches long. Love love love him.

Baby Blessing

2010-06-10T07:23:00.000-07:00

On Sunday we had Trey's baby blessing. Chris did such an amazing job!! Trey wore the blessing outfit that Chris wore when he was a baby. It was a great day, thank you to all of you who made it!! (These are the only pictures I got on my camera from that day, if anyone has some good ones email them to me:)

Trey's first road trip!

2010-06-03T16:41:00.000-07:00

My sweet mother-in-law Kathy took me and Trey to St. George for the weekend for some relaxation! She watched him practically the whole time so I could get some sleep and hang out by the pool. It was extremely nice of her, and I loved it!!! Thanks so much Kathy!!!

Look at that double chin!!

Trey's first time at church

Kathy gave him this cute little outfit he wore to church!

Funny

2010-05-19T15:07:00.000-07:00

Trey is not quite big enough for the bumbo! I was laughing so hard when we put him in it because he is way too small, and wasn't really lovin it! It was funny.

1 month pictures...

2010-05-09T19:34:00.000-07:00

My sister Jackie came over and took some pictures of Trey for me. They both did amazing, I absolutely love them!! Thanks Jack:) (Here are just a few of them, there were so many good ones it is hard to choose!!)

Notice Tonka hovering over him....she thinks he is her puppy.

I love my baby

2010-05-04T16:21:00.001-07:00

Yes I haven't blogged in a very long time. So, I was prego, now the baby is here! Trey Ashton Crawford was born April 7th at 10:15 pm. 7 lbs 3 oz. 18 inches long. He is such a sweet boy, although I did hear him scream for the first time the other day, I mean really scream and yell and freak out!! Chris hasn't heard that yet so he is in for a treat:) He is such a cutie and I love him so much!

Easter Sunday, 3 days before baby

Chris caught me during a contraction!

Update of my life....

2009-12-07T18:51:00.000-08:00

First off......it's a BOY!! For those of you who don't know Chris and I will be having a baby boy in April. We are so happy to be having a boy!! I'm very excited:)

Second.....I got accepted to Dental Hygiene School, and will be starting full time ONE MONTH after I have a baby.

I know.

It's kinda freakin me out, and I know it will be the hardest 20 months of my life. But I am so grateful that I will be able to have such a great career and be able to support my family while Chris is in school.

It will be hard, but worth it!!

****Any words of encouragement would be lovely:)****

?

2009-10-10T10:16:00.000-07:00

So I'm 13 weeks along, and getting sicker!! Is that normal? It's lame.

Guess What?

2009-09-27T19:49:00.000-07:00

In April I will be having one of these:

or one of these:

I'm very sick, but very happy!!!

Trying new things

2009-08-16T21:15:00.000-07:00

My twin sister Jackie and I are obsessed with decorating. We decided that we should try to start making some of our own decorations to save money, and to be more creative:) Tonight we painted a picture. I have never painted in my life, so it was fun to try something new instead of just buying it. I definitely need more practice, but here it is........my first painting:)

Oh happiness

2009-08-15T13:58:00.000-07:00

This last week I have been so excited for fall and Halloween I just want to cry from happiness!! Fall is my favorite time of year, and I love Halloween so so much! I know it's early, but I can't help it! Here are a few things I look forward to every year that make me so incredibly happy....

~Driving up the canyon and feeling the crisp delicious fall air

~Seeing the colors of the leaves changing in the mountains

~wearing warm fall clothes

~pumpkin spice candles

~pumpkin cookies and cider, cuddling up on the couch to watch a movie

~pumpkin patch

~Halloween decorations, treats, costumes

~haunted houses

~candy

~carving pumpkins

~driving through the canyon to look at the leaves

I could go on and on and on. So much happiness!!

2009-08-07T16:11:00.001-07:00

Last week I was fortunate enough to go visit the hubby in jolly old England!!! If you haven't noticed, I speak with an English accent quite often so I felt right at home! It was so amazing to be there, we stayed in Cambridge where Chris is taking classes for the summer and we were able to go into London 3 of the days. It was an awesome experience that I will never forget and I'm so grateful that I was able to do it!!!! Here are a few of the billion pictures I took:) In random order.....

Freedom Run!

2009-07-05T14:59:00.001-07:00

I love the 4th of July, and to start out the day I ran my first 10k! Melissa and Laurissa ran with me and I'm so glad we did it!! Hope you all had a good Fourth!!!

My life these days....

2009-06-15T18:36:00.000-07:00

Where have I been?

Working, and running.

My work is training for a half marathon. I am not a great runner, but I'm trying!! I really love it, but my knees are killing me! WHY? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. If anyone has any advice I would love it!

Chris leaves very soon. It makes me sad.

RV Park Hoppin' Weekend!

2009-05-04T20:32:00.000-07:00

This last weekend Chris and I went with my in-laws and the Cope's for a fun little holiday! We took the Crawford's motor home and stayed at a different park each night. Our days were filled with hiking, chillin, hiking, eating, and just enjoying our amazing surroundings! We went to Slot Canyon, Goblin Valley, Dead Horse Point, and the Arches National Park. It was such a fun trip!!!! Here's some pictures(maybe a lot of pictures), but they don't do justice! Go see for yourself!!

Happy Birthday Liam!

2009-04-25T17:34:00.000-07:00

Last night was my nephews 11th birthday party. We ate yummy food and hung out with the fam, two of my favorite things to do!!! Thanks Jen and Jim for letting us all come over:)

So sad:(

2009-04-18T23:10:00.000-07:00

I'm obsessed with the Broadway show WIC KED. This week my sister and I went to the Capitol Theatre to try and win tickets. Too bad one billion people showed up to do the same thing! They picked 10 names out of a bowl, and they did not pick ours. It made me sad. Maybe I'm still sad. Maybe I'm willing to pay the big bucks. I wonder what Chris would do:)

Really?

2009-04-15T22:00:00.000-07:00

To those of you who haven't seen this......

Little Rascals......

2009-03-14T21:20:00.000-07:00

Thank you for being on tv today and making me happy!

Spoiled?

2009-03-13T23:38:00.000-07:00

Tonight I was at Target like I am most Friday nights, and I sort of wanted to strangle a certain little girl. Terrible, but pretty true at that moment. There I was, in the kids section looking at their clothes(yes, sometimes they fit me) and I hear loud screaming and crying getting closer to me.

Little girl(maybe 7 years old): "I want them!!! They'll get sold out!!!!! I want them!!!! (She is screaming bloody murder the entire time)

Mom: "They won't sell out, I already bought you jeans yesterday, we aren't buying clothes today."

Little girl: "But I want them!! They'll get sold out!!!! NO! NO!! I want them!!!"

Mom: "I think they are the ones we got, let's go home and check. We are not buying clothes today.

Little Girl: I WANT THEM!!!! (Screaming like she is in horrible pain) (Running around with the pants screaming that she needs them) I NEED THEM!!!! SCREAMING SOBBING SCREAMING SOBBING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After what seemed like an enormous amount of time listening to the madness, I went into the dressing room. Screaming and crying could still be heard, but eventually, miraculously died down. I have no idea how that mother managed to stop the crying, or even if she did. But I do know that I am now terrified of what this world is coming to, if that is how a seven year old girl reacts when she can't get a pair of jeans.

Boo Sonic

2009-03-05T20:20:00.000-08:00

Today I ordered a grilled cheese kids meal from Sonic. When I opened my sandwich, I was surprised to see not a grilled cheese sandwich, but a piece of cheese with two SOFT pieces of bread. It made me very sad, I was starving to the point of sickness. I ate it because of how starving I was, and it made me even more sad. Sonic.....never again. Boo.

The Bachelor.......

2009-03-03T18:47:00.000-08:00

What a freaking douche bag.

Delicious

2009-02-28T18:41:00.000-08:00

My life lately consists of work, school, and no sleep. But the past two days consisted of amazing Sweet potato fries and Cilantro Lime Pesto Pasta from this place.....

it's magically delicious!!!!

Tonka's Obsession

2009-02-07T09:39:00.000-08:00

Tonka is obsessed with a few certain toys, and she is obsessed with someone throwing it back and forth with her...for hours. And if you don't pick it up and throw it, this is what she will do:

Stare at the toy

And stare at you

back and forth, all day long. She is obsessed.

It's been a while....

2009-02-03T21:17:00.000-08:00

First off, I just want to say that as I am sitting here at the computer, I can hear Chris in the other room filling up the tub for his bath, and whistling "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" from The Wizard of Oz! It's kind of hilarious.

Anyways....life is a little bit crazy! I work all day, try to learn Microbiology, and try to keep my house decent! I am so tired all the time and I feel like a never have 1 free second to just relax!! I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad for me, I know you all have real problems! I just want to explain my lack of blogging, and I will be better once the semester is over....in April. Boo. I'll do the best I can!

Congrats to Chris!

2009-01-25T13:42:00.001-08:00

Chris got accepted to the Pembroke/King's Programme in England! He will be studying there for two months during the summer. I am very proud of him, but very sad that I will be stuck here working while he is in England. I will be able to go visit though so that will be awesome! Here are some pictures of where he will be living. Good job babe, I love you!

I would love.......

2009-01-18T20:10:00.000-08:00

to own these boots (in Grey). I have wanted them for months, but Chris might shoot me if I spent the money for them. And it doesn't help that he hates boots! But oh how I want them!!

If you want to cry....

2009-01-11T19:57:00.000-08:00

A little bit: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

A lot: Seven Pounds

Sob your eyes out (Or was it just Jackie and me?): Marley and Me

All good movies, just be prepared.

Well....

2009-01-08T21:06:00.000-08:00

It has been quite some time since I have posted anything! I had a wonderful holiday season, and now I am back to work, and sad to say...night school. Wednesday and Thursday nights after work I will be sitting in a classroom for 2+ hours learning about Microbiology and all that good stuff that makes no sense to my brain. Wish me luck, it will be rough!

In other news....two days after Christmas Gary and Kathy took me, Chris and his brother Cameron on a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas. It was an amazing trip that made me so happy and I never wanted to come back!!! Everyone should go on a Disney Cruise and be so happy!!

Random note: I made a few New Year Resolutions including....

*Eat all of the food groups, less of the crap ones that I usually eat
*Exercise at least 3 times a week for at least 30 min.
*Write in my journal every night
*Eat treats only on Sundays (this one may not last)
*Drink more water
etc

Those are just a few of them. I did really well the first day of January, but since the week has almost come to an end I gave myself permission to start next Monday since I didn't do one of those things!!!! Monday I'll be ready:)

Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas!!!

2008-12-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

Life has been crazy busy, so I haven't had time to post! I had a super Christmas Eve and a wonderful Christmas day! I love Christmas and I'm sad it's over!! I can't complain too much because in two days I will be on a Disney cruise!!! Thanks Gary and Kathy:) Last night for Christmas Eve we spent the night at my parents house. We played Mad Gab (funny pictures, especially of my mom and dad who both had to hold their glasses in place to see the cards!) and ate yummy food, and watched Christmas movies all night long. On Christmas morning we went to my sister's house where she had a magically delicious breakfast prepared for us. Then Chris and I went to his parent's house, where I ate a second yummy breakfast, opened gifts, took a nap, and had Christmas dinner! It was a great Christmas and I am so grateful for my family and friends, and all that I have!! Here are some pictures of the good times we had:)

MoTab and Pie!

2008-12-14T17:57:00.001-08:00

Last week I was able to go see the MoTab Christmas concert with my family. Before the concert Melissa, Jen, Jim, Liam and I stopped at The Pie to get some delicious pizza. We called ahead to order, and when we got there we discovered we ordered the biggest pizza on earth! It was amazing. It was a great night and I'm happy I was able to go and have fun with the fam.

The Polar Express!!

2008-12-10T18:41:00.000-08:00

A guy my dad works with at the temple, and his family, do their own version of the Polar Express each year. They have a little train that holds about 14 people and tracks built in all through their yards. (They all live right next to each other) It was so fun! Here are some pictures, and a little video you can watch of us on the train. Be careful though, you may get motion sickness because of how awesome I record!

Festival of Trees

2008-12-03T18:36:00.000-08:00

This was the third year Chris and I have gone to the Festival of Trees, it is now a tradition for us I guess!! It's so fun to look at all the cute trees, but our favorite part is lookin at the gingerbread houses. It's a super time! I suggest you go!!

Work Christmas Dinner

2008-12-02T19:13:00.000-08:00

Last night for our work Christmas Dinner the Doctor's took the staff and a date to The Roof restaurant in Salt Lake. It was so yummy and we had a grand ole time! I was very grateful for the fancy dinner and good company:)

Thanksgiving!

2008-12-02T18:35:00.000-08:00

We had a super Thanksgiving stuffing our faces two different times. We had a feast with my family in the afternoon, and a feast with Chris's family in the evening. It was a good day, I love family, and food.

Obsessed

2008-11-24T21:53:00.000-08:00

I am wasting so much time, and not getting any sleep because I can't stop watching this show. I'm excited for the long weekend so I can finish the 2nd season and get ready for the 3rd!

What a Wonderful Weekend

2008-11-22T23:29:00.000-08:00

Last night I saw Twilight. Loved it. Obviously not as good as the book, but I will be seeing it again next week:)
Tonight I went to Coldplay. It was bloody amazing. I danced my little heart out, and I look like a fool when I dance.
Now my wonderful weekend is over and I'm sad:(

Thank You

2008-11-19T18:10:00.000-08:00

You get me through the day. I love you.

No Commission for You Psycho

2008-11-08T22:20:00.000-08:00

Today I was attacked, at Buckle in the mall. I was minding my own business, trying on a hat in front of the mirror when one of the girls who worked there stopped in her tracks to tell me that it looked cute. She asked me if it fit, and I said yes. She then told me she knew of the cutest earrings that would go so well with the hat. As she ran to get them, I glanced at Danielle, asking her to save me somehow but I knew there was nothing she could do. The idiot girl came back with the earrings. I told her they were cute and tried to get away but she told me there were also some in black and ran to get those. She brought them to me, and I told her they were cute as well. So I stood there awkwardly holding the hat and two pairs of earrings, trying to find a nice way to put it all back and get the freak out of there. She then asked me if I was only looking for hats. I said I was just browsing. Apparently browsing means I am looking for a pair of 200 dollar jeans. She took me to where her favorite new pair was, and I said they were cute, but I don't want jeans. She then pointed across the store to another pair of jeans that she thought I might like. I said those were also cute, but I don't want jeans. You freaking annoying failure that I want to sniper. That's what I should have said. Finally, by some miracle, she told me to let her know if I needed anything, and she walked away. I can't even remember what I did with the hat and the earrings, I just remember getting out as fast as I could. It's a shame because I really wanted the hat. The moral of this long story is, leave me alone when I shop. If I want your help I will ask for it.

Good thinkin babe

2008-11-08T13:51:00.000-08:00

Today my hubby bought this pretty little thing at Costco. I have a feeling it may have been a subtle hint that I need to get my act together and start makin my husband some food! He knew I won't just let it sit there unused, not for how much it cost!!

Jamie's house and 1 more crazy day with Boz.....

2008-11-02T15:08:00.001-08:00

Yesterday Danielle and I went to visit our best friend Jam (pronounced JAME, but I spell it like Jam because that's how I like it).......(it's her new nickname from everyone apparently)......anyways! We took her some food and hung out for a while. We had a good time, even though I accidentally sat on her and hurt her belly wound. Sorry love!! Pictures below will show the pain I caused her. After we left, Boz and I went shopping once again because I needed new perfume, and took a few more awesome pictures for all to see. One day we will be kicked out of Target I'm sure. Thanks friends for a wonderful Saturday!

My Halloween Day

2008-11-01T00:27:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween!! Today was full of randomness for me. I slept in, then went to a movie. Then I took the little hot dog Tonka to my sister's and showed off her costume! After I took Tonka home, Danielle and I tried to find something interesting to do on this Halloween night. You can see in the pictures what we came up with!! It was a fun time. I love Halloween!!

What the Witches?!

2008-10-25T13:15:00.000-07:00

Last night my fellow I-42 mates and I (except for 1, I won't mention your name Jamie) went up to Gardner Village to shop, eat and chill with the billions of witches. It was witch night or something, I don't know what they call it, but so many people came dressed up as witches. They looked awesome! None of us dressed up and we were sad we didn't. We decided we will make this a tradition and go every year, and dress as witches!! I didn't get any great pictures of actual people dressed up, but there were some cute display witches I took pictures of. What a super time we had!!

2008-10-19T21:29:00.001-07:00

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great

importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be

sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and

appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Why the Long Face?

2008-10-18T13:07:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was Jackie's day off and she wanted to go find a craft store she heard about. For some reason whenever we get together and try to find an address we end up in the wrong city, or no where near our destination. Well yesterday was no exception! We ended up driving around Provo for, not even joking, 2 hours looking for this stupid idot store!! After the first hour I wanted to give up and go eat but Jackie wouldn't stop until she found it. I started to get delusional with a hunger headache, and couldn't stop laughing! We were so pathetic driving around the city looking for this place!! Finally, we found it.....5 minutes after it closed. Jackie had a rage attack, and I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time!!!

Pumpkin Patch.......again!
