Trendy ehh...

Popularity! It was really funny, not only did we all join in with the dwight glasses, three of us at the same table had the same phone.

I'm not really sure where these came from, but Amber started wearing them and then everyone thought it was the cool thing to do. So here we all are...die hard Dwight fans of the 37th ward.












Amy's Bday in St. George

Then we went to the movie, "He's just not that into you", went home sang happy bday to Amy and had spa night. We did facials, satin hands and feet. It was great, relaxing weekend.





Off to dinner we went cause we were HUNGRY. My first time at Iggy's. Poor waiter had to split the bill like 10 ways! Bless his heart! His name was Cody. I distinctly remember because I yelled, "We love our waiter Cory. He rocks!" And then he came back and said, "My manager said to tone it down a bit and it's Cody, not Cory!" My bad!









Amy got her certificate of achievement for jumping out of an airplane voluntarily!













We had a little too much fun with the fashionable eyewear and head pieces!



























































There's the plane! Up, up and away!











































































We had a blast! We went to St. George to celebrate amy's bday! She decided to go sky diving for her 27th birthday and inspired me to go for my 29th! The conditions will be warm and hopefully more clear than they were for her. We lucked out with the break in the rain and clouds for her bday! It was a blast to see her get all ready and psyched to go! So off she went!



We all packed into the tiny airplane! It was a little bit touch and go for a while! Erin was freaking out that even the pilot had to wear a parachute! And she wants to go sky diving in August for our birthdays!!! She's so funny!













































































Before we went to take Amy sky diving, we had a few photo ops because check out the beautiful day and the back groud! We stayed at a beautiful place where they filmed HS musical 2!

Superbowl Sunday


3D how fun! my students are going to love these glasses tomorrow!

I am proud to say that the Steelers won! they played well and made some really great plays! it was a ton of fun to watch! I yelled a lot and I'm sure my dad is in heaven happy as a lark! He always wanted to Steelers to win and I feel like today was one of those days that he seriously was happy!!!

I had a first today. We ate crocodile! Bu-Tars made us marinated crocodile! Is that crazy or what? Well, it was a first for me and was great! I liked it a lot more than I thought I would...you know me and weird meats. Anything other than, beef, pig, chicken is just hard for me to psychologically digest if you know what I mean!!! So here's to first times and the Steelers winning and having time to finish the ward directory! Glad that it's done and over with! Just need to print it and wha-la it's done!

What a great day! Hope yours was equally fun, spiritual and productive!

2nd quarter field trip



We went to the capital and then to the planetarium it was a ton of fun! These are the people in charge...kind of scary huh! Oh, but so much fun! You have to be crazy to hang out with Jr. High students!


They were selling these Air Zookas and guess who is on the box? My brother!! isn't that funny! He did a photo shoot for a company like 10 yrs ago and sold them the rights, they still use the pictures...isn't that crazy. you walk into a store, see a weird air blowing product and your brother's picture is on it!! Crazy huh!!

Lights at Temple Square
















There's our little glow worm! I just wanted to squeeze her until her head lit up! Not safe or an option said her daddy!

Christmas Day





























I had to dress the kids in my clothes cause that's all I had for them. It was totally funny, cause well, they're really small and little compared to me. They had a good time in the snow. It was so deep! It was awesome!


























Christmas day was fun! One of the best Christmases I've had in a long time! After our night of coughing and sleeplessness, we woke up and Mommy and Daddy came back from their date night and we had breakfast! Then we unwrapped presents and of course guitar hero! That was fun! It was a day of cooking, playing, playing in the snow and then dinner at Mike and Shaunae's. It ended with all of us kids doing dishes together! We haven't all been together since John's funeral. It was a lot of fun to be together. We know we are all brothers and sistes. That is for sure! We tend to end up fighting like that! Amazing how it doesn't magically wear off when you get older!!! It should, but doesn't! Guess it's in the blood!
Anyway, it was a great Christmas!
