Tubing and Tumbling!!

We went tubing with Mike's brothers and sisters families. It was so much fun. We went to a school that had a killer hill on it. We were laughing so hard at everyone going off the jump (you'll see)....

Like I said it was so much fun. And tiring climbing up that hill several times. But worth it!! Thanks Suzanne for taking such great pics. You're the best!!!

Christmas time at my house.

So, I am finally ready for Christmas. I went last minute shopping yesterday and finally feel done. Wheewww!!


Lots of presents under the tree!

The stockings hung by the chimney with care

And the cookies, all the christmas cookies. Temptation all around me. But I didn't eat a single one. Except after we gave Matt and Chalyn theirs. They let me have one and mmmmm it was good!

My Hubby

I have the best husband in the world. He is so good to me and is such a blessing in my life (even though I may tell him otherwise sometimes). He puts up with a lot from me and is so patient. I love him and thank heaven everyday for him. He is my strength, my inspiration, my teacher and my best, best friend (yes even over Kenai). He also never complains. With him going to school, the roles have kind of changed and he is even doing the dishes (hooray!!!) I am also so proud of him for getting a 4.0 for this semester. He is so smart(smarter than he gives himself credit for). Congrats babe!!!
Thanks for reading my gushy blog. I just felt the need to brag!!

Sherilyn tagged me

Here we go. I tag Kaley, Sami, Casie. I don't have five people. Sherilyn tagged the rest of them. So take a pic of your fave room, bathroom, fridge, sink, bedroom, and a self portrait. And no cleaning or straightening up.


This is the favorite room. Of course it has a tv in it.

The bathroom, obviously.

Here's the fridge. You can see the Ice cream. Gotta have it to watch the tv!!!

The place where all the magic happens..... a good nights sleep. What were you thinking.

The kitchen sink. My excuse: I worked the last couple of nights. My hubby's excuse for not doing them: I don't do dishes.

Waking up smiling and happy as always after only sleeping for 4 hours after a night shift.

Witches Night Out at Gardner Village

My sis in laws and I went to witches night out!! We had so much fun. The best was the dancing, even though the music wasn't the greatest (I still think Sherilyn should DJ next time).


These are our attempts at Thriller. We have pledged to learn the whole Thriller Dance for next year. Practice on Saturdays ladies?




Afterwords, Suzanne took us to a cemetary where she did a mini photoshoot for us. She is a great photographer and got some really fun shots of us. Thanks Suzanne!!!

I love the fall. It is my favorite time of year. Not only for the rich color surrounding me everywhere I go, but also for the crisp cool air. Don't get me wrong. I hate the cold, but the fall air is so refreshing to me. Also, there's the new season's of all the great tv shows, not to mention the football and Jazz games. And then there's all the cute clothes: the sweaters, the knits, the hats, the scarves, the jackets. Its all so exciting!!!!!

I have copied my sis-in-laws with their blogs. I can't help it. There's are so cute and I'm soooo excited.

More Jumping

I don't know why but I think this video is funny!

Fun in Delta

Mike's New Car

Here are some pics of my new car properly named Pearl. It is a 1996 Lincoln Towncar Cartier. I got it out the door including license, registration, and 3 month 3,000 mile warranty for $3,100. The car was only $2,500. It runs like a dream. It has 94,000 miles. It has auto everything, windows, doors, seats, etc. Keyless entry, Leather, CD changer, A/C, and a Car phone. The only flaw is on the passenger side rear, some small dings on the trunk. Please try not to laugh to hard.

Labor Day!!!

The view from our camp. The Crafts family has a tradition of camping over Labor Day weekend.

It rained on us the last 2 night.

Trey and Jarren roasting marshmellows!!!

These two belong to my bro Ryan.

4-wheelin fun!!!
Like father like son.
Will is my sis's babe.
Jonah is my bro Chad's babe.

Yellowstone

Here is a relaxing video from our trip to Yellowstone. I still have the family video to come, its in the editing stage.

Hooray!!

We just signed the closing papers for selling our Saratoga Springs home. We had the best short sale realtors in the state!!! Thanks Alan and Melanie!

We are glad to have this done and you guys made it so easy for us.

More Yellowstone Pics

Just playin' around! I am so proud of this picture. It would have been better to capture these grizzlies in the wild. But these two were born in captivity.
This is the lower falls again.
What a beautiful waterfall. Yeah, theres a waterfall in this pic, if you quit looking at the cute girls.
On the way home, we stopped off in Rexburg and got to see its new beautiful temple.
