I'm back!

I've been slacking in the blogging department, but I have good excuses! I just moved and and haven't had internet.

We finally got internet TODAY! It will be nice not having to use my friends phone or going to someone else's house. (Don't worry Mom, I'll still come visit you)

So I moved into my new house 10 days ago. I moved in with one of my great friends and I'm loving it. We still have things to do around the house, so I'll take some pictures soon.

Christmas was great! I went to my sister's house early in the morning to watch the boys open their presents. It was so fun! They both got a train set that they love!  Then I went to my Mom's to open presents with them. Then we all went to Rachel's house for dinner with my grandparents, aunt Pam and uncle Greg.

 Lately I have just been working and unpacking/organizing things. The house is almost all together.

 I'm excited for the new year and for the new adventures it will bring.
I hope everyone had a great holiday and has a great new year!

Thanksgiving/moving

For Thanksgiving this year we all went to Rachel's house. We had about 16 people, so her house was packed with family! We had a delicious feast and it was great seeing all my family.  My sister Jessica came from California and my Grandma Lilga from Florida, so it was great being able to spend some time with them.

I didn't even take any pictures this year, but my mother did, so I will have to get some from her.

I've been fairly busy the past few weeks with moving.  I moved back to St. George about a week ago and I have been house hunting for over a month. Today I finally found something that I love, its a older home, but it has new tile, carpet and paint. So it looks great!  I'll be moving in about 2 weeks, I'm pretty excited to have a place to call "home" again.

That's all the update I have for now. I just wanted to check in and let you all know I'm still alive and kickin!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Yesterday I went trick or treating for a little bit with  my two nephews.
Here are two cute pictures of my little, adorable nephews!

I had a fun night and it was so good seeing everyone!

Dancing boy!

This last weekend I went down south with my brother is law for just the weekend. It was a fun, short trip. I just hung out with family and friends.

I took this cute video of Conner, he was playing with a singing toy and started dancing! SOO CUTE!

Sorry, the video is side ways

BINGO!

This past weekend I went down South, I had a few friend events going on. Friday Night I went to Mesquite with 10 - 15 other people and played BINGO! It was SOOO much fun. We went down to have fun with our friend Nancy, who is moving.

Here are a few pictures from the night:

One of my fav pics, Jared, Erik, and my self

 Saturday night my friend Hilary had a little house warming party/bbq because she just moved into a nice, new house! It was fun seeing lots of friends!


The rest of the weekend I hung out with my family, which is always nice! I'm excited to move back in November!

Birthday Weekend in St. George

The a few days after my birthday we went down south and spent a few days in st. George and Cedar city.
The first day I had a little family party with my Mom, Mike, Angie, Kristine, Nate and kids! I haven't been bowling for a few, so that's what I decided I wanted to do. It was fun, even the kids had a great time pushing the balls down the alley.  Here are a few pictures!

Little Brayden

My "little" brother and I, I swear he grows Every time I see him.

 Kevin

 Mike

After bowling we went back to my mom's house and everyone pinched in and cooked me a tasty dinner.


The next day I celebrated with my dad, sister and mom, we all went to Rachel's house, she cooked us dinner and make a coconut cake and we played some games! 

Saturday we headed down to Cedar City to spend some time with Kevin's family. I think if we stayed there for a week I would gain 10 pounds! Jim is such a great cook and he made us something tasty for every night!  It was nice spending time with them and playing phase 10, I even let Cherie win!!  ;)

We will be heading down south again this weekend, so we can do it all over again!

Funny of the day

Today while at my mothers house, Brayden was spending the day with us and he has had a bit of a runny nose, suddenly he sneezed and said "I'm sick, cause I ate some grass earlier today"


I don't know if its just me..but I could not stop laughing, my eyes were crying because I had been laughing so hard!  He really does say the funnies things sometimes!   :)

23

Yesterday was my birthday! First thing when I woke up and went into the office I found this..

Roses, chocolate, mints, chocolate and a Poem! Yes, he wrote me a cute poem!

He also got me this new, shiny LAP TOP...

My old lap top has been having problems for a while now, so its nice to have a newly working one!

I had to work for a few hours in the morning, after I was done, i did some yoga and we watched some of my favorite tv shows. Later in the evening Kevin and I went out to dinner at Buca Di Beppo. It was tasty Italian food.

(Not a very good picture, it was bad lighting..Plus Kevin is pulling a weird face) 

After dinner we came back to the house and had some peanut butter/chocolate cheese cake that I made and played my favorite game Phase 10, as we watched some good tv shows!

We are going to celebrate more with my family tomorrow in St. George!

This is a picture of me and a new dress i got for myself!

Overall I had a fun, relaxing day!  :)

Down South

Last weekend Kevin and I went down south for a visit. We stay with my mom in St. George for two days and mostly hung out with family.  Though Saturday night I went to a fun concert with some friends, it was very fun, though it got a bit too hot and sweaty.

Then Sunday night we drove up to Cedar city and we were greeted with this marvelous sunset.

 So breathtaking, if I do say so myself.

We got home yesterday, just in time for me to work. It was a fun little trip

C is for Conner!

I love this picture of my Cute Conner and his cookies! Mind you he had to have two cookies, one for each hand... Best way to eat cookies!

A close call... For us

 

This accident happened early Wednesday morning, in the apartment building RIGHT BEHIND ours. We are lucky our building didn't get damaged.

Right now there are guards posted out side the building 24/7. Probably so no one try's to sneak in and get some of their possessions back.

Here are a few pictures I took, I had to be sneaky.
These are pictures of the back of the apartments, most of the damage was in the front.

Nature

The other day I was going for my morning walk and found this on the side walk...

I thought it was so awesome looking, I had to share.

Sometime nature just amazes me  :)

New and Shiny!

Last week I got a new phone, its the chocolate LG Touch, So far I love it!
I got a free upgrade, can't say no to a free phone  ;)

Last weekend Kevin and I drove down south to see family and friends, it was so nice seeing everyone!
We mostly hung out at my mom's house and Rachel's and we hung out with friends a few times.

I have been looking for a new vehicle for a few weeks, we found one at the Toyota dealership in SLC, but  I wanted to see what was available in St. George.

We went to the Toyota dealership and within 10 minutes I saw the Pontiac G6 GT and immediately fell in love! I've liked them for a while and have drove a few of them before. So I ended up getting it and so far I love it!

That is my exciting news for the week! Hope you are all having a good weekend!

We had a fun night last night playing games with another couple.

Bad day...Chocolate helps melt it away!

Sometimes when I'm having a bad day all I want is a hug or... CHOCOLATE!

I tried this HCG chocolate delight recipe yesterday... and it was soooo tasty!

1 C. cocoa
1 C. Coconut Oil, melted
8 packages Stevia
Agave Nectar (Optional)
Flavored Stevia – Peppermint, English Toffee (Optional)

Fluff cocoa with a fork to break up any chunks. Add melted Coconut Oil.

Mix in Stevia adding MORE or less depending on taste.

Add a few sticks or drops of Agava Nectar to taste and drops of flavored stevia to taste.

What do you do when you are having a bad day and need a "pick me up"?
