6 hour drive...

Six hour drive just to end up at the same place you started?? Yeah that is what we did Thursday. We went to meet Amber in Burley to pick up the boys so they would come down to Utah for a few days before Amber and Nick come down for Christmas. It was a long drive but well worth it. I sure do love those boys! And lucky Brad he even got to listen to a little LFO, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Nick Lachey, Pink, Spice Girls.... thanks goodness for Ipods with fun old music on it. I was having the time of my life.... Cami was laughing and Brad was putting up with it. He is a good sport most of the time! First time driving on the freeway... She was so nervous but she did a good job! Good job Cami!
Blake watching some Tiger and Friends... He is so freaking cute!

Jackson decided to be a dog and was scratching himself... he could not stop for the picture because that is not what dogs do...




$3 dollar tickets?

They boys have a roommate from Minn and the Jazz were playing the Timberwolves so the boys found some $3 tickets and we all went. It was some much fun. Thanks boys what a good idea!

Driving down there! Yes, he was driving but we needed a picture! :)

P A T refused to take pictures with Rudy so we did it our way!!!

Wait till he is not looking... well it still didnt work so this is the best we got! Hey Bob, how did his hat taste?This was not the first picture the two of them took... Jared gets impatient with how many pictures we take... Hence the beautiful look on his face.



JD didnt want to take pictures either but we were getting one anyway. Not really sure what was so funny...




In the car waiting... we were at the back of the parking lot so it took us a good half hour to get out. It was a fun game but the Jazz lost and P A T made sure to remind us of that all the way home!!!





Ugly sweater anyone????

For Brad's family party we decided to wear the ugliest outfits we could find... Thank you DI for dressing us!!! It was a fun night we got the funniest look and I felt like an old grandma. Not to mention we got matching necklaces and ear rings from Walmart... a bell with a huge bow on it.... Rudy even got told she looked real classy by someone... ha ha it took people a minute to realize we were not being serious with our outfits. Nice way to meet someones family for the first time right?The five of us, P A T, Rod, Rudy, Brad and I
Yes be jealous of the almost matching ugly sweaters....
Rudy and I she is so freaking cute.





Doing the white elephant game... Brad has the best part here cuz I got ahold of some hairspray... ha ha he was not to happy about it!
The beautiful picture that Rod won... Yes don't you worry it went to good use. They hung it in the front room of their house...
It was a fun night full of laughing and funny looks. Once again thanks DI for the beautiful outfits!

The joys of Halloween season!!! To get ready for all the fun we went over to Ty and Carries to carve pumpkins and decorate Halloween houses.... After many many long hours the fun was over and it was well worth it!!!
Look at the focus on Ted and Ty's faces... when ever those two are around each other there is some type of competition.... However with sharp knifes and little kids involved maybe not such a good idea to give them both a knife and pumpkin at the same time....

Carrie, Ty, Riley, Kalie, Kielee, Kaden and I scooping out the insides while Ted plays camera man!

Gotta show off all the insides your digging out! She is so freaking cute and so much fun!

Trying to get kaden to eat a raw pumpkin seed the look on his face when he finally did was priceless!!! Kielee was dead set on helping Ted cut out the face she drew and was not having it any other way... Good job babe it takes skills to cut out faces like that :) Kaden and Ted showing off the scary face Kaden drew for Ted to carve!


This is where the fun all began with the houses... I think I laughed harder when Ted, Carrie and me were trying to get the base together then I had in a long time... If you will notice our house Ted put supports on there till it hardened.(don't worry he doesn't do construction for a living or anything ha ha ha) and Carries was built a little off her house has a overhang on the right side only... It was strategically built that way... for what reason you ask... I'm not really sure... cuz that is how it ends up when you are the only one building it I suppose!

Carrie getting everything ready.... Carries house with the overhang.... Our house with the supports! ha ha ha thanks Ted Kalie and Riley decorating their house...
Just getting started on the fun of decorating the Halloween houses....

I'm not really sure who was more into it Ted and I or Kaden and Kielee... thanks for the reminder Carrie that it was for the kids not us!
Hard at work....

Ted and Kaden so proud of their work so far!

Kielee putting on as much candy as possible...

And when we were done decorating you gotta finish it off can't waste anything....

So maybe we ate just a little of the black frosting.... Talk about a sugar high....


The Finished Project


So so so much fun! Thanks for the invite over Ty and Carrie....

A night out...

Habits anyone??? Ted and I decided to go along with Ty, Carrie and Brad to Habits and oh was it a trip... there were so many old... like grandpa age.... guys at the bar dancing their little hearts out and some of the most interesting people I have ever seeen. As the boys were wandering somewhere Carrie and I had some dude come up to us and insist on talking to us about 2 feet from our faces... now I dont normally have a personal bubble so you know if I got uncomfortable it was bad... Now the reason for this story is due to this guy I found out something I never knew... If your from kearns you can only wear fake jewerly... REALLY!!! What he was trying to prove by telling me that Im not sure but it was all kinds of odd balls like that all night long. All in all it was a super fun night with all kinds of entertaining people watching!!!


Ted and I!
Carrie and Ty sure do love them both to death!
Brad... not really sure what is going on in this picture...
Story behind this picture... Ted saw two guys that he was questioning straight or not... so Ty decided he would help Ted answer the question.... This being one of the many ways... Thank you Ty you are so very helpful and funny!


Ted and Ty wanted to dance up on stage... what they are doing here not really sure... but if you notice the guys head in the bottom of the picture he was in love with Carrie so he was close at all times... Sorry buddy she is married!!!

Nephews!!!

Sure do love when the newphews come to town to visit!!! Now if we could only get them to move here.... hmmmm any ideas??? Ted and Jackson... Im not really sure what was going on but this was like a ten minute event... and they both look really into it... hmmm
Blake loves his grandpa

And was wigging out that something was about to get his feet... It was funny he figured if he lifted them off the table Ted wouldn't be able to get them... well I got news for you bud.. if only things in life were that easy!

What a stud... and who knew a toothbrush holder would double as a toy... It works wonders!

Didn't want to go so sleep for anything so when he finally did he slept cuddled up with us... Sure do love them! And can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas when they will be down here!!!

Brad Paisley.....

So despite all the rain, cold, drama and hiking up dirt hills in boots the Brad Paisley concert was a good time! It was packed and the grass seats were awesome! The only other concert we went to out there was Kenny Chesney and we were in actual seats, I would recommend the grass seats anyday of the week they were way better!

Brit, me, Ted and Trish


Ted and I



Nate and Tina came with us, that was a good time thanks for coming along! Lucky that Tina was in town and got to come with us!



Brit Ted and I at the end of the night! Thanks so everyone that came with us!

Swimming, camping and summer fun!


Carrie and I having a blowing contest, after we spent more then thirty minutes blowing we realize there is a station right behind us to blow them up!!! About to go river rafting in the mossy water... Carrie and I threw a fit about going thanks to Ted and Ty we had an awesome time!


We finally made it.... were soaking wet had ear fulls and mouth fulls of water but was such a good time!!!

Ted and I at the camp fire....

Wrapped up in my blanket towel after swimming.

Laying out....

Hanging out at the swimming pool....


We went swimming with my family at a condo up in Park City, and they had a huge chess set that they played with it was so cool!






Me, Ted and his two kids.

Hair Coloring

Gotta love the good times of coloring hair at home.

Ted getting his flavor savor colored by Trish... Hey Trish, do you wanna touch his lip??


Gotta get the eyelashes colored good and close.
Brad straightening his hair before coloring it.


And we got bored waiting for the boys hair to be done.. so we did what we do best, take pictures of ourselves. The beauty of goin to school to do hair you get to do hair late at night and at home. Good times to be had by all!

Then it was hair cut time but Jackson is a barginer and wouldnt let me cut his hair till he got to cut mine as well... good thing the clippers were broken but i was still nervous he was gonna make them work and i was gonna go to bed crying about the new hair cut i got!! It was a relief when it was over!











And then there are the random nights out on the town with Trish... I sure do love her! And us at the motorcross races!!! As my brothers always give me crap about... Girls document everything... Yes we do and we love it!!! How ever I am sad that summer is coming to an end...

Happy birthday Erica!!!

On Friday Erica turned the big 18!!! So she got some balloons at work then we went out to dinner to celebrate!!! Happy Birthday Erica I love you!











The joys of waxing!!

So I LOVE to wax! I wax my own arms and eye brows all the time!!! Well my family has now taken an interest in it! Well last night as I was waxing my arms my little brothers decided they wanted to join and bet each other they would wax their necks... oh that is where the fun began! I love to do my own arms but when other people let me wax them it makes me so excited!!! So we did and I must say it was one of the funniest things I have ever done. (Aside from the one person who agreed to a chest wax) I only got pictures of one of them but they both acted about the same way!!!

Welcome to town Jackson!!! Amber sent Jackson down to Utah for a week to play with all of us and we love it hes so fun. Well last night we went to the Southtowne expo center to see the floats that are going to be in the parade on the 24th of July. It was crazy how much time and effort goes into making them they are pretty cool to see. As we were walking around Jackson saw a clown making balloons and he informed us that he has to has one. So we went to find Grandma to get money to tip the guy and the whole time he is telling us hurry the man with the red nose wants to make me one of those.... He is a funny kid!
Jackson informed me he had to have a picture of this because "soccer is his favorite and his dad would love it"I sure do love this little boy and wish they would move back to Utah. His red sword that he had to have because its his favorite color! He is SO smart for a 3 year old!

Cami even got a flower balloon with a heart to go in her hair!

Summer so far

Here is what I have been up to so far this summer... No not really a super busy summer just been to lazy to take the time to post on my blog so enjoy! However I have been horrible at taking pictures as well....



To start the summer off Tj's mom and Sister came to visit! We went to lagoon, made it to nickle cade (for little kids you think? Yes it is but we still had a good time!) did lots of shopping and just hung out! It was a good time however I never had my camera when I wanted it hopefully I can get some from his mom cuz there are some funny ones!


She was not to excited about coming with us she doesnt like Lagoon very much but Tj's sister wanted a friend! Thanks Cam you the best!





Tj helping some little kids get this ball rolling! It was funny cuz when we walked away they were trying to get it going an couldnt!






Then we made it out to Colorado to see Tj's dad and grandpa! Yet again a super good time and all I got was one picture! Thank you to his Dad, Step-mom and Grandpa for showing us around for a good time! To start off we went to Snowmass village and Aspen which by the way it SO cool if you have never been there highly recommended. Its so pretty there and lots of HUGE cool houses! And I have never seen so many private jets in my whole life!!! I got to see all his dads old cars that he has restored which was so cool! Tj had told me about them but actually seeing some of them was fun! We get to go down there in 2 weeks for his car show he puts on which should be awesome and I will have to take tons of pictures that time around! Other then that we just hung out and laughed! Tj has always told me wait till you meet my dad and grandpa I am just like them and wow was that true! It was crazy how much alike the three of them are and so entertaining to watch! Thanks to everyone down there for letting us come down and make it fun!







Tj with his Dad and Grandpa!




Other then that we have just been hanging out and doing the summer thing! We go swimming and boating when we arent working and can and loving every minute of it! And I will just say this, I needed a swimming suit in a hurry one day and Walmart was close so we went there. I LOVE my walmart swimming suit its so cute however I DO NOT recommend trying to wake surf in a walmart swimming suit! Lets just say the first time I tried I lost my bottoms hence the reason for the shorts this time around! Sorry to everyone who got a show!!


We look retarded I know but it was bright outside!




Thanks Trish for coming to play with us!



Tj getting ready to wake surf!!Getting ready to try out a 360....





And he completed it first attempt! Good job babe! And here i am attempting and do it! I love wake surfing!!Tj getting ready to get his butt kicked by Sunny on the tube! Poor kid had a rough time he was thrown off and did the super man face plant, got flipped thown and whipped around!




And to stay ready for summer Kierstien wanted to help me wax my armpits! Thanks Kiers your the best!!!

Getting old....

I have always said I dont want to get old but then when I saw this I really decided i didnt want to. We went to breakfast with Nate and Tina at Denny's and sitting about a table away from us was this Grandma! She got there with a bag full of stuffed animals that she had crocheted herself and we all thought cute she is going to give them to her grandkids! Well no, that is where the sad part kicks in.... She set them all up on the table around her and had a little tea party with them! Poor grandma love all alone so she had to go to breakfast with her stuffed animals!


St George and Vegas

Nothing like heading South to the warm. We went down to St. George for a family reunion and spent Saturday night in Vegas at Tina's house. It was a good time and Im not going to lie when it was still 99 degrees at 12 at night i was super excited. It was a fun trip however we ran into a few problems along they way.... Getting ready to go.... We got about an hour and a half along when all the sudden we blew a tire! Now not like anything I have ever seen but apparently it's common the whole tire was in to pieces the rim and then the rest of the tire. Well, we only had one person stop to help but he was a crazy scary looking guy so we told him we had help. So that left it up to me and Trish to change it...Thanks Dad for putting me in auto in high school so I knew what I was doing! I am sure it was a sight to see but after an hour we got it taken care of! Good job Trish! and yes of course we got lots of pictures and made fun of by my brothers for "having to document everything". And yes it just so turned out we were both in skirts and heals to make matters worse~



But dont worry at the next gas station we did check the air pressure in the remaining 3 tires and were good to go! After a 7 hour drive to St. George you tend to get a little crazy....And then we finally made it and the next morning woke up early to go get the tire fixed so we could go faster then 65 and got pulled over for an expired registration. The reason we couldnt call high way patrol the night before for help with the tire! He was a cool cop and let us off with a warning!




Thank you to Erica and her friend being selfish and stealing out bed Trish and I got put in a twin bed to share! It was a little squishy a little bit of a cuddle session but we managed it! :)
When we went to Vegas we went to dinner and some how they got the idea that it was Tina and Lindsays birthdays so they brought them over the lovely hats and sang to them. Tina is a little bit of a germ a phobe and had issues wearing the hat! I dont blame her I would have as well you never know who elses nasty heads have been in them!




The six of us at dinner! And apparently when you tell them you want to share and then as for 2 plates it means you no longer wanted to share so be careful or you will get 2 full meals!

Thanks for being a good date Trish!

Then off to the strip! We didnt take to many pictures but a few... it's crazy how much the econemy has hit things. There way maybe half the people that are usually there but it was still a good time! Jackson was insistant on getting a mug from M&M world so we got sent to pick it up for him! Your welcome Jackson!



The best part was it was warm enough for swimming and a little bit of a real tan! And also served as a reminder that its time to hit the gym a little harder! Tina had the coolest pool at her house it was perfect for a little nap! I loved it!


Talk about the gym, we both have a little bit of a problem, the problem is we like to eat when we travel so we had a little bit of a collection of food! Good news is with all the crap I didnt gain a pound! Dont worry that is only the half of it! Do you remember squeeze pops from when we were little? They sell those again so we had to get one and they are pretty good still.... Straight sugar!

Over all it was a fun eventfull weekend and I cant wait to go back!




Hair time!

The beauty of having friends that do hair is you get it done right out of the beauty of the home! Thanks Trish your the best!

Welcome to UTAH!!!

First off, I have learned not to complain! So I posted about the lovely little rental car they gave me and not to long after I got a call from the insurance company that they would only pay for my rental for another day, so the lesson learned here is be grateful for what you have cuz now I am completely without while I fight for the value on my car!!!! Thanks TJ for being so good about sharing the truck! I love you!

After 4 years of school and 2000 hours of doing hair I finally took my first state board test and PASSED!!!! YAY one more to go and then I will be licensed to do hair FINALLY!!!!


So the other day Tj and I were driving down 90th south and 3200 west and Tj looks over and goes who does that? confused about what he is looking at I look in the same direction he is looking and see what he is talking about! Sure enough sitting in the back yard where you would maybe see a horse or chickens these people have nothing other then CAMELS!!!! HELLO PEOPLE! The animal known for its amazing ability to walk across the sand is just hanging out in the snow! So as I was driving to work today, I yet again passed them and am still in amazement at this... Really people really? A camel in Utah lets get real! So if you would like to see camels you don't have to go to the zoo or travel far, you can now see them in West Jordan!!!!

Car

So after 29 days of waiting for them to do something anything with my poor car they totalled it out!! Which is a good thing for me I am pretty excited about it cuz now I get a new one! Except for the fact that they put me in a mini van looking car... This is not the exact car but it's a picture of it....


Come on people at least put me in something normal! Ah well now it's time for something new any ideas??
