Christmas Vacation

Happy New Year everyone.

This year we surprised the kids with a ski/water park vacation. The condo we stayed in was right at the base of a gondola which took you up to some amazing skiing and tubing hills. Also, a few steps from the condo was an indoor water park. It was the perfect getaway, something for everyone.

Personally, I preferred the 85 degrees in the water park than the 18 degree tubing hill.

Britton in the perfect little kiddie pool.

Emma LOVED the water slide.

We played in the snow during the day and in the water park in the evenings.



The tubing hill was so long. There was a moving sidewalk to bring you back up.

Christmas 2010.
We had so much fun together.
It was perfect.

Walking for a cause

Turkey Trot- Thanksgiving Day 2010
We abandoned all fashion sense and went for warmth over style at this years Turkey Trot, a community event to raise money for a local organization. We braved the temperatures in the mid-teens and walked. I'm still baffled by the old guy with nothing on but a hat and a skimpy pair of shorts. (Sorry no picture) What was he thinking?

Wedding Day

It was such an honor to host Heather (Brent's sister) and Marvell's wedding at our home last month.

Everything was beautiful.

Cousin Madelyn and Emma.

I think that these pictures are ADORABLE!

thanks for coming everyone!

The Girls.

Adult Halloween Party

I tried my Halloween costume on for my family.

Dallin said, "Are you REALLY going to wear that?"

Britton said, "That's weird"

and

Elizabeth said, "Can I borrow that?"

I got mixed reviews.

This is your official invitation to all who would like to come to our

Adult Halloween Party

8:00 p.m.

My house

Theme: Black and/or White Costumes or clothing, whatever you would like.

Minute-to-Win-It Games and Prizes.

Everyone's welcome so bring a spouse, husband, date or friend!

If you would like to bring finger foods to share, that would be great.

Hope you can ALL come!

Worth waiting for.

Keely, a wonderful and dedicated woman in my ward, planned an adult prom.

I raided my parents closets and found my sister's prom dress and my dad's tuxedo.

Brent planned a lovely dinner in the park.

He asked his mom to make a corsage and boutineer (wasn't that my job, Oops!)

He even arranged dinner.

I gave the people at my table a "I didn't get to go to my own prom" sob story and

someone (not sure who, but I bet it was YOU) nominated Brent and I Prom King and Queen.

Whoever it was, thanks for my moment. Everyone needs a moment now and again.

We had a blast.
The first time Cameron saw Brent in his tux he said with a wink and a nod,

"Oh, you're going on THAT kind of date."

I'm Doing It

I just had to take two Advil because the thought of it makes my head spin. It scares me to death, but at the same time I know it's the right time and I'm looking forward to it.

I have more self-confidence in myself and my abilities than ever before.

I know I can do it.

Many people encouraged me to GO FOR IT.

Brent thinks it's the greatest thing ever.

I have my bishop's interview tonight to start the application process.

With only about 4 classes to complete, (I have to officially apply before I find out for sure) I'm working on a Bachelor of General Studies degree with a Family Life emphasis from Brigham Young University.

I can totally complete it on-line at home, with a few tests that will be elsewhere.

My Inspiration is the vision of me walking across the stage in the

BYU Marriot Center with a very large cheering section.
