Fun Date, Fun Day!!!

That's right! BAMMM!!

Well, about a week and 1/2 ago Tyson and I went on a super awesome fun day date. It was on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Matt's favorite holiday), and it really was a blast! First we went to Wal-Mart (exciting huh!!!) and we bought a little plastic sled for $7. Then we drove up the canyon a little ways and found the perfect spot for snow sledding! I did most of the sledding, because Tyson's weight hindered the sled from going down very quickly (if at all) :) Ha ha, what do you expect, it's a child's sled!! I was lucky to even make it down on it! Also, neither one of us had "Real" snow clothes (I left my home in LaVerkin) so by the time we were finished, we were both soaked and on the verge of frost bite! I did, however, have a wonderfully warm coat that protected the upper half of my body (thanks Matt and Kim :) Anyway, after returning from the mountain we changed into warm, dry clothes, ate lunch, then set off to go shooting! That was also tons of fun! Tyson has a really good shot, and he hardly missed a target! I was really embarrassed because I wasn't even remotely close to hitting any of the targets, until I realized that I wasn't using the aiming guidelines built on to the gun, so once I figured that out I was ripping it up!! Yep, so then we went home, ate dinner and watched the news! Ha ha, I know that sounds kind of lame, but it really was a fun day for us!

Just admit it.... we're awesome!!!
























Fun In The Snow!!!

Hey guys!! I bet you all thought you'd never see me up-date this thing again!! Well, don't worry, Nikki (along with many others) reminded me that I'm way past due on up-dating it!! These past couple of weeks have been crazy with Welcome Back Week and SUU Idol, which has pretty much consumed my entire being!! But, the good news is, it's finally over!!! Yay!!! I gotta say though, it was a lot of fun and well worth the hard work! We started off the week with giving away free stuff, hosting the Dash 4 Cash at the Women's Basketball Half-time, held auditions for SUU Idol on Tues. Night (We had 20 people compete and lot's of people just there to watch) a dance afterward, Wednesday we had the first official round of SUU Idol at noon then brought a Comedian in for the evening activity and passed out free subs, Thurs. we had the second round of SUU Idol at noon, and then set up for a drive-in movie with hot chocolate and cider later that night. Yesterday was the last day of Welcome Back Week where we had the final round for SUU Idol!! It was great! After that we served free pizza before opening up the 'Mentalist' show. We had a mentalist come and perform last night, and he read minds and moved tables and spoons with his 'mind's energy'..... Kind of like Matilda...... Anyway, I don't really believe any of that crap, but it was still fun to watch :) And it was a big success!! The Ballroom was nearly full! So I'm feeling pretty good about the outcome of the Welcome Back Week! Unfortunately I never took any pictures :( But I am going to post some pictures I have from Christmas and Thanksgiving Break, so I hope you enjoy!!!

CHRISTMAS!!!!


These pictures were taken at the Jubilee of Trees Festival in St. George. It was actually taken back in November, so that just goes to show how bad I am at keeping up with this thing!


The Jubilee of Trees!!!

This is me and my adorable niece Krissia! This was taken Christmas Eve right after Nikki gave
that sweet christmas devotional! We both were crying after that....Thanks a lot Nic!! J/k :)


Krissia is so pretty!!! My face looks fat! Ha ha


Too bad we couldn't get Jaylee to stay for any of the pictures!! The cow costume I made for her was so cute!!! Oh well :)

I love all of my nieces and nephews so much!!!


Tyson helped me put this Christmas tree up in my apartment...... I didn't have many decorations, but it still worked out ok!! I was just glad to have one. However, I didn't have a star, and I asked him to make one for me.... so I gave him what I had from my scrapbooking collection and he came up with this! Isn't it nice? :)

My Tree!! (Tyson made the star! Nice huh :)


My Apartment Decorations (Thanks Mom :)

I didn't have much to work with, but I was grateful anyway for the decorations Mom provided me with!!! I still need to take them down......

Thanksgiving!!
