Valentines 2012

Valentines Day!!!! This year Chad and I decided that we were going to go to Denver to see his sister Camille and that would be our gift to each other. Since we wouldn't be leaving for Denver until the 16th I thought I would make Chad a special dinner on Valentines day. For dinner I made NY strip steak with grilled shrimp and a Parmesan cream sauce, fresh garlic green beans and roasted red potatoes. There was so much food!! We had tons of leftovers but they were really good!! :)

I know I am a big dork for putting our picture in the background but I needed a little something extra to go with the candles that I never use. Chad also brought be a very sweet card and a flower when he came home.

Sick! I know I look absolutely gross but I had been cooking up a storm and didn't realize how nasty I looked. SORRY CHAD!! I wasn't much to look at that night but it sure was fun!! As you can see behind us, it looked like a bomb went off in the kitchen. Lets just say I am a messy cooker. :) Thanks for the fun Valentines sweetie!!

The Boys Christmas Program

So Sawyer and Keller had a Christmas program over at Teton Elementary this past December and since work is so close I got to go!! They did great! They sang songs and Sawyer danced a Russian dance, it was super cute!!!

Keller apparently had to get back to class and didn't have time to come see his fans but we were able to get a few pictures with Sawyer. Great Job boys!! You did great!!!

A few random

 Here is my cute dad! He is so handsome. :)

 This here is my gal and she apparently thinks I am 2 thumbs up!! Same to you gal, same to you!

 Here are Gerty and Jo Dawn!! Hi ladies!! Looking good!!

 My mom and the kids at my grandma and grandpa's house.

HAHAHAAHA This is Dax, he had a hard time potty training because he is a bit stubborn. He is a professional now but oh boy he sure was funny to watch go through the process or maybe it was funny watching Kate. :)

A couple of cuties and my little buddies!!

 HAHAHAHAHAHA This picture makes me laugh so hard every time I see it!! His outfit is way too small and it was so funny watching him play around. What a funny kiddo!!!

This cute little mug came to see me at work one day while grandma was babysitting. He hung out and made a few drawings for me. Such a cutie!!

Christmas 2011!!

Christmas!! I love it!! We got our first tree the weekend of Thanksgiving but we either forgot to water it or just didn't water it enough...it died. :( Luckily I have an awesome mom and she bought us another tree a couple weeks before Christmas!! Thanks mom!! I loved our second tree!! Here it is all lit up and a happy Gus  smiling brightly showing off his pretty new tree!!!

 I have always wanted Christmas lights on the outside of my house and I could never reach the roof (even with a ladder) at my house in Kuna. Chad has been aware of this and I kept begging him to PRETTY PLEASE put lights up and I came home from work one night and guess who put lights up?!?!?! it was so fun!! I loved it!! It was so fun to come up to our house and have it all decorated and lit up!! I love to watch Christmas movies all snuggled up with the lights on the tree and possibly sip on a hot beverage of some sort. :)

 Isn't it fun?!?!?!

Thanks Chad!!! I loved it! It was a great Christmas surprise!

Thanksgiving 2011

I know thanksgiving was a long time ago but I have pictures of it so  I wanted to record it. :)

This is Chad and I heading to our first thanksgiving of the day to Bonny's (Chad's mom).

 Chad's sister Camille and her 3 kids, Tage, Mia, and Rhyse, were able to come out from Colorodo for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun!! After dinner mostly everyone went outside and played football. It is always great to just hang with family. Here are a few snap shots!!

Wow! don't they look mean?!?!

HAHAHAHA it was fun to  watch!! I did play for a little while but I about made Cydnee take out the fence with my tackle so I was done. :) I don't have any pictures of thanksgiving at my parents :( but we did go there afterwards and hung with Mom, Dad, Chad, Joey, Jaren, and the kids. It was fun too!!

Old pictures of the family!

For my mom's birthday my sisters and I made a quilt made with pictures from when we were growing up and current pictures too. It turned out pretty cool, if you don't look to closely that is. :) Anyway, I had to go through a lot of photos to find the right ones for the quilt so I thought I would post a few of them, some are pretty hilarious!!!

Sorry they are all sideways!

This is Heather, Kate, and I with our 70's hair do's.

Ready for church! My dress was a little short, it must have been the style. :)

This one is funny, the pop cans look huge!

Joey in the beautiful "gone with the wind" dress that we all loved!! It was so fun to twirl in. BTW my mom made it and it went through all of us. We couldn't wait until we were big enough to wear the Cinderella dress.

This is Kate and my dad, such a cute picture.

Chad, the habit started early on...

This is Kate, Chad, myself, and our great grandma Jo, she is my mom's grandma. She was so cute and little, we all loved her so much! I wish we were all in this picture.

This is my model sister Heather. :)

This is me riding my bike in the nude.

This picture was taken the day I was blessed so Kate wasn't even born yet, sad.

Chad and I. Apparently I wanted to be a boy scout!

I will post a picture of the my mom's quilt once I take one.
