Hubba, Hubba, Wowzas!

Remember my project? Well I have been trying to rack up some photos for it, and then I stumbled upon these fine photos.

I couldn't help but appreciate the gene pool in which I come from, my sister's always joke about how they all got my dad's nose [which I did NOT receive & which is NOT a bad thing], but I can really see why my dad fell in love my mom and vise versa. I mean hubba hubba, wowzas! Not that old age has done them wrong, but it's fun to see where they have come from, and not just ended up.

I don't know a whole lot about their courtship, other than they dated in high school, but as part of my project I will ask the questions and write them down for posterity's sake.

I Want One...

Well, atleast these pictures make me think so, kind of! No really, I just thought I would post some of these cute photos and then brag about her... Her and I are destined to be buds because she inherited my middle name Jo, which comes from my mother's name Joyce.
And with that an instant connection was made, BFF's!

I Want...

This!

[In my Entry Way, thanks for the idea Design Mom]

Isabella Hall

My sister Traci had her baby girl on Sunday January 13th [4 weeks early]. All of my sisters and my mom got to be there when little Izzy was born and what a neat experience it was [Traci made it look soo easy!] She is cute and I can tell her and I will be good, good friends one day!

Some Forgotten Things...

Not really Forgotten Things, mostly because I had them ready to go and I forgot to post! Last Sunday we got to recelebrate Christmas with Adam's Dad & Gina. We hosted the shindig at our place [which was a squeeze for 9 people] and it was a lot of fun!! Here's a couple of the pictures we took ...

And then, my favorite part, Aaron put on Ashley's boots... I was going to put it with the ones above but it cut off the boots, it's the newest 'thing' for men.

One more thing... Last night, I was watching Biggest Loser:Couples Edition, and decided that this is going to be my new favorite TV show... I'm pulling for the Pink Team, they are a mother-daughter combo. Most couple combine weight over 500+ pounds... I can't wait to see the 'after' pictures!

Guitar Heroes

For Christmas, Jash (the Josh that belongs to Ash) got the Guitar Hero 3, so we all rocked till our hearts were content...

I had video footage of Nan & Scott, however it ended up being too dark, but they sure knew how to ROCK!

Christmas Time [Revisited]

We had a really good Christmas and are blessed to have both of our family's close enough to do not only one Christmas Eve party, but two! We spent the earlier part of the day with my family [the Denning's] and then the latter with Adam's [the Andersen/Felt/Clark Families].

It was fun to meet and hold little Luka & see those we don't get to see often! We also missed those we didn't get to see, the Creer's & Becca, please come and visit soon!!!

Yesterday [Revisted]

Here's just a few pictures from the special day...

Thanks Nan for the cake and taking the pictures!

One Year Older, and Wiser Too!

{Well I don't know too much about that last part} but it's my Birthday today, a most joyous event!! An event that I have shared for 23 years with my brother Troy!! I have many fun stories I could share about my/our lives thus far... but I thought I would just share some fun pictures of us groooowing up...

P.S. Special thanks to my sister Tami for always doing my hair the way I liked it, fluffy.

Oooops!

I can't believe I went through the Thanksgiving season without even giving an ounce of thanks, well as far as you know... But I am thankful for so many things and opportunities I have in my life... I am blessed with an adorable hubby, an amazing immediate family, some darn fun in-laws and very crazy friends!

Would needs anything else?

**Well maybe food, but after Thanksgiving even I might rethink that!

P.S. Here's a picture of Tami & I [We were on a date] at Highschool Musical [The Ice Tour, as Kole says]... Because I had no children or husband to photo, I have no photos...but Tami does!! Go here to see more.

Thanksgiving Highlights

Highlight #1 - After eating not one, but two Thanksgiving meals (all within 3 hours) we played Mexican Train with Todd & Jill. This is always good for some laughs, mostly because Adam and I always lose!

Highlight #2 - I have a bunch I can say about this event, but just know I went with my sisters, had fun, and survived!

Highlight #3 - The Preston Light Parade... here is Adam, Scott, Nan, Becca, Ash, Josh... We were all bundled up because it was WAAAAAY to cold! Thanks Nan, it was a fun idea to go!

Highlight #4 - Spending time with my Best Friends, Brooklyn, Baylie, and Brinlee... also the newest edition not pictured here is Hadley, she's to young to know it now, but we'll be Best Friends, I just know it! I love my family and it is just fun to hang out with them...we also have a tradition of going to a movie the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we saw Fred Claus, it was a cute Holiday movie.

High School Musical [The Ice Tour]

On Saturday I "Bop Bop Bop-ed, Up to the Top" and "Got My Head in the Game" with my family at the High School Musical [The Ice Tour] in Salt Lake City. Am I embarrassed? Not in the least! Would I do it again? Without hesitation...It was awesome!

A Birthday Success! [Yesterday]

Well ok, I forgot the 2 candle and then I broke the 8... but all in all it was a success!

Thanks to all who participated in person, phone calls, or spirit!!

**Also, thanks to Nan for taking pictures on her iPhone!

Troy's Wedding [Preview]

Most of the pictures I took at Troy's wedding turned out blurry, so I am waiting for my sister-in-law Jill to give me some better ones. Until then here are some that are pretty decent, granted both Troy and Rachel's eyes are closed in some of the pictures...

**I should mention that the above were taken by Don and aren't blurry...

**Stole the last 3 pictures from Rachel's sister Angie off of Facebook...

Happy Birthday Brooklyn!

Today is my niece Brooklyn's birthday! She's 5 going on 15...Sike! She's been waiting for her birthday ever since the beginning of Summer and now it's here!! Happy Birthday Brook!!

California.

We went to California with my whole family in August.
There were 23 of us, what were we thinking? Actually, I thought it was a lot of fun... (only after we got a little crazy).
