So Cody loves blue lights for Christmas and so our tree had to have blue lights which i don't mind at all but this year i really wanted to decorate our tree better and the way i would with blue lights so thankfully Walmart had blue and silver stuff so i could.I have loved it so much. The picture didn't show the light as well and in real life sorry but it is so pretty with blue lights



We had so much fun this Christmas break with family. We both were so lucky to have the some time off or work to spend it with family and that is what we did so We started it off Monday over at Cody's Dad's house and opening gifts and playing games and watching the Grinch stole Christmas. Than i worked the next two days but than Cody had a game Wednesday and of course they won the are not lost yet!!





Well we had Christmas eve day and night with my family and that Christmas morning also than we had a few hours over at His dad's than we have spent the rest of the time at his mom's house.
Saturday Cody played in a fund riser for a local boy who had cancer and they won the whole thing out of 12 teams. It was way fun the first game was close and the next two were not as close but the championship game they won in over time by one point YEAH!!




It has been one of my most crazy years yet. Cody and I have been through so much this year. We have also been so blessed this year to go through all the things because now we are even stronger and more ready for what 2010 will bring us!

Than busy at work which is great than the next weekend We had Callie (My new sister in Law) Bridal shower which turned out great and had so much fun. Than again busy at work the few days i was able to go than off again to the Wedding for Tyler and Callie it turned out great and everything was Perfect and Now i am getting ready for THANKSGIVING yeah more fun with family and great FOOD!!! I love holidays and being with family.

Jason spoke on Baptism and my mom talked on the Holy Ghost it was really neat to be there and know the gospel is true and see it happen for someone else. She has been working hard on getting were she is now and wish her the best and it has been great to have her around our family gatherings.

Happy Birthday Mommy

So i wanted to wish my mom a happy birthday and let her know that she is the best and i love her. She always helps me in everything i might need. She is a great listener and i never have to think twice talking to her about anything. She is a strong woman and great example to me in so many ways. She has a strong testimony and has taught me through that. She has taught me to the person that i am today. People say that i am like her and i take that as a great complement to me. She has been through alot in her life and has helped so many people because of it. Mom I love you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssss MUCh :)
and hope you have a great birthday day.

Our horse ride

So our friends took us horse back riding for our first time it was so fun we were in the mountains some what on trails but our Friend knows the area better than anyone he has been up in this area since he was a kid. He took us off trail a little bit and it was so fun we can't wait to go again. By the way they do it in the summer for people that want to go horse back riding. So it would be fun to go family night or date night give them a call. they have great trained horses

3 GREAT YEARS

So yesterday Cody and I celebrated our third year anniversary and we finally did something in Jackson since we have lived in Victor for the past two and half years. SO we started off going to breakfast and having a nice meal. Than off we headed in to the park to go to Jenny's Lake we rode the boat over to the other side. Than up we went to the hidden falls and than hiked around.











after returning to the boat we than we went to the restaurant Dornans it is really neat you can sit on the roof top deck looking straight at the Tetons while you eat really good Pizza. Than off we went to the Alpine slide at Snow King Resort, that was fun we rode a chair lift and than up slide down on these little carts that you can control the speed.

BAR J

So it feels like summer when we go to the Bar J Chuckwagon, in Jackson Hole for the dinner and show, But this time it was different it was raining and the power went out so we ate in the dark and right when the show was about to start the lights came on. It was still way fun to be with Cody he loves this place he laughs and loves the food. We also went with Tyler(Cody's little brother) and His girlfriend Callie, we tried to play card games in the dark and that didn't work to well. We usually walk around the area and take pictures but it was raining so hard that we just stayed in. So i didn't get to take any pictures it was kinda to dark. so the pictures are from the website.
