Christmas, Mario Kart and family... all the best things

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Happy Birthday to very attractive, 2 year old Bridger! I love you! So I got a digital camera from my in laws which was so freaking nice and so I have real pictures now.

These pictures were both from the very talented and attractive Aunt Debi. I hung them up and they look so good. Thank again Aunt Debi!

My parents, Michael, Eliza and Cadence all came to visit me this last weekend and I loved it. I loved seeing Cadence. She is so smart and cute. These are her "special" ponytails which is what Eliza had to tell her to get her to wear them. She was also playing Mario Kart with us and got really into it. Every time she would be stuck against the wall or fall of the edge she would stand up in frustration and yell things like, NOOO! or What the heck! I am really glad her parents let her come up without them.

Cash is getting bigger and is such a good dog. He is cuddling with Mike in these pictures. He has been cuddling with us a lot lately and I love it.

This is one of the toys I got him for Christmas. It used to have a squeaky Santa on top but that didn't last long. He chewed it up which is obvious by all of the stuffing in the background. I put it on his head to entertain ourselves watching him try and get it off. He looks like William Shakespeare.

This is my front yard a couple of days ago. Mike spent hours shovelling all of the snow off of the sidewalk and driveway. Better him than me is what I always say. He is such a hard worker.

Mike's brother Brandon got guitar hero world tour for Christmas and this is us obviously rocking our hearts out. We have a good band. We had a lot of fun on Christmas Eve playing this until like 2 in the morning. Even his dad and sister joined in to sing.

Christmas dinner with delicious prime rib and potatoes and not so good lobster... I hate seafood so much.

Mike and I before dinner. You can tell he was really thrilled to take this picture. The one I took before this was heinous.

My brother in law Brandon and I. We are so cool. I love you all and will hopefully post more new years pictures. And maybe even our first kiss of 2009...You all know you want to see it. Happy new years everyone!

Christmas and winter are officially here

First I have to apologize... Cash chewed up our camera so I had to take all these crappy quality pictures on my phone... so the color is sucky, the pictures are very blurry but you will get the idea hopefully!

This is our tree... It was the first time I had ever gone up to the mountains and cut down my own tree. Well I didn't cut it down but I picked it out. It was fun but I will never do it again. It was way too cold and noone told me how slippery cowboy boots are in the snow or how cold people's toes get who wear cowboy boots. I am glad I did it the once though. I will probably have more pictures of that trip later because my sister in law Kate took a bunch. It is kind of small but it is our first Christmas so BACK OFF!

This is our fireplace and Mike's. Cash's and my stocking... I got them at Big Lots for a few dollars each. I like them.

This is a picture from our front door when I woke up this morning... There is ALOT of snow here. Winter came really late this year which I am OK with but now that it is here I am ready for it to be gone!

This is my nativity set that Mike's mom got me for my bridal shower. I like it... all I need for it is the stable and 3 wise men. It is pretty.

This is Mike dressed to go shovel snow off of our walkway and driveway. He has been doing it everyday because otherwise it gets really icy. He is nice.

This is Cash playing in the snow. He loves to eat it and shove his face in it. Even when he starts shivering I can't get him to come in. The snow got up to his neck today... he was almost completely buried. It was cute.

This is another decoration that Mike's mom got me. I got to pick it out the other day. She said she starts her married kids off with some decorations for their first Christmas. I think it is pretty freaking cute.

Anyway...that is all for now. I hope you all can see the pictures. Merry Christmas or Hanukkah or whatever.

Happy Holidays!

My house and other stuff...

Hi. I have found a lot of pictures that I thought some of you would like to have because some are of your kids and stuff... and I took some pictures of my house.

This is when Jessica went in to check on the boys and she couldn't find Broderick. Then she looked into the crib and realized that he had climbed into bed with Bridger and fell asleep. It was really cute and funny.

This is Eliza the day we got Cash. He is so small in this picture and so cute. I love my dog.

This is Bridger kissing his daddy while he is away in the middle east. It was really cute... Jessica pointed to the picture and asked Bridger who it was and he said daddy and kissed him.

The two couch potatoes watching TV... I bet Jessica wished they really were couch potatoes with how active they are...

Me and my really attractive 90 year old grandma... she doesn't look a day over 81!

Eliza made aprons for some reason and gave them to Jack and Cadence. They were helping Grandpa in the kitchen with Sunday dinner.

This was Cash last night. He LOVES to lay with whoever is in the lazy boy recliner and sleep on there lap or behind there head. He loves to be Mike's pillow.

He looks so innocent here doesn't he? He isn't always innocent...he nips and bites but he is house trained.

This is the entrance to my house. Even though we have a shoe rack right next to the door we obviously don't use it.

This is our living/family room.

This is our dining room and That pile on top of the table is all of your thank you cards... they are coming I promise. I am just waiting for my return labels to come in the mail.

This is our kitchen. Thank you Jessica for the Findarle sign above my sink. I love it.

And this is Cash playing in the snow. When it rains he won;t even stand on the grass but in the snow he buries his head completely and eats the snow and loves it. That is all for now. We got our washer and dryer last week and so our room is covered with laundry clean and dirty so I will post pictures of our new bedroom set later. BYE!

WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised

I know it has been forever but I have been moving, doing my schooling, and I didn't have internet for awhile so back off. I will just post a load of pictures and then explain them if needed.



This is our puppy Cash. We got him when he was 6 weeks old... the above picture is him at 6 weeks old... and he is about 13 weeks old now. He is VERY active but such a good dog.

This is Mike and my feet this morning... it was cold so I put my toe socks on him. He said he looked like cookie monster which is funny because he did look like cookie monster.

Sarah, Melanie and me Halloween night. Us and some friends had a costume party. I was robin hood.

Mike was Ricky Bobby from the movie Talledaga Nights.

This is a moose that Mike and his friends got after months of hunting and some lonely nights for me. And all we get out of it is some meat...yuck. But I did get to go out with them a couple times. I love dressing up in camo and looking for animals. It is suprisingly fun.

We went hunting for antelope and this is us holding hands after us gutting it and skinning it. I was going to put very graphic pictures on there but decided against it (you're welcome Eliza) but I am putting a couple graphic ones.

I am so brave

He is so tough...

My father in law and me in front of the dead antelope

Cash is getting bigger and he is still so freaking cute.

Mike and I went to go spotting for a moose for his buddies hunt... and this moose came 20-30 yards from us. I was so scared, I have never seen a moose so close and it was so big! I thought it was going to kill us honestly

Eliza, Michael, Jacob Mike and I all went to go paint pottery. It was so fun. Mine is the vase, Eliza did the blue mug, Jacob the plate and Michael the superman mug. Mike was painting some cowboy boots but never finished. We are all so talented.

Anyway, That is pretty much our lives for the last few weeks... Ill post another one of our house in a couple days. we just got a washer and dryer so give me time to get all the clothes we've been washing off the floor OK?
