Happy Birthday Jennifer!

Just wanted to take a little time to wish my sister-in-law a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! For those of you who know Jennifer know how FABULOUS she is! She is the greatest friend, greatest wife (that info straight from the source---my brother) and such an amazing mom! I love her so much, appreciate how FUN she is, love that she loves SHOPPING as much as my mom and I do, and love that she makes us LAUGH all the time! She loves my brother so much, which makes us love her that much more--and Sadie loves her mom (as she should). Jennifer, this family wouldn't be the same without you---I am so lucky to have you as my sister-in-law, thanks for always being there for me--I love you so much! This slideshow is for you (wish I could be home for your birthday!)

Christmas 2008

Since Reed left on his mission, we've all been waiting for Christmas 2008 when we would once again celebrate TOGETHER with EVERYONE HOME!  The time was FINALLY here--we were anxious for the holidays to come so we all could spend it together at home!   It was so fun to play with Sadie for 2 weeks---we had so much fun and she's just so sweet!  Here's a few pics from Christmas---









Sadie loves her Grandma!
Sadie loved putting on Auntie Abby's boots and talk all around the house.

Sadie loved all her gifts--she was so excited!

This is what Sadie woke up to Christmas morning!

We love this little girl so much!

Yes---I've been M.I.A

So I would always give others a hard time for not updating their blogs, but now I'm one of them!!! I apologize to all those who faithfully check for updates in my life by checking my blog, only to be slapped in the face with disappointment---NOVEMBER??  Is that really when this blog was last updated?  Sad but true, I commit to updating my blog more often (especially since I learned that my little niece LOVES looking at my blog and say my name---how can that not melt ones heart?)

So here's some pictures from the past little while.
My brother Reed is on the Snow College football team who went undefeated this year!!  Because of that, they played in the National Championship game in Sandy, UT against a team from Kansas (the specific name of the school is NOT important).  My parents and I were able to fly out there watch Snow College get screwed out of a National Championship title---thank you referees!  While we were out there, we had a chance to go see the lights on temple square (so beautiful) and I experienced for the FIRST TIME Cafe Rio!   --it certainly won't be the last night I experience that blessed place :)  Here's a few snapshots from the trip-


We had to get BIG GULPS at the SEV!

I was so excited to see Reed (as you can see in this picture!) 


Reed in his stance---long snapping. (Reed, don't hate me for posting this picture)


It was such a fun trip- fun to go to Salt Lake, fun to see Reed, watch the game and just hang out together!  I was so proud of Reed and the hard work he's put into football this year-Reed, I'll always be ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS!
