Finally!!! I'm Back

 Unfortunately I was one of the ones affected by the stupid "Blogger curse" saying I've used my limit. But thanks to my brilliant friend Jo I'm back in business. For those of you who don't want to pay for more space, just add another email address. However, in the time that I haven't been able to blog lots has happened. So I'll tell you about it with the photos.

PRESTON'S BURFDAY

For Preston's birthday he really wanted to play Fugitive with his friends. But having parents driving around as the cops just isn't cool. So he asked that Stacy, Stew, and me be the cops. And who knew that it was going to be so fun. We ended up getting into it probably more than the 13-year-olds. The entire time we were on a 3-way call referring to each other as "Red Leader," "Gold Leader," & "Star Leader." (You know, Star Wars?!)
Bad picture, but at least it's the whole gang.
Fearless "Gold Leader" with her trusty ear piece
Cake I made for Preston, and yes we did light the sign on fire while trying to light the candles
His friends had wrapped boxes inside boxes with tiny wrapped little things all over, just to find a not that said "Ask Tyler for your present"- the $10 was in his pocket.

 JAZZ GAME

I got a text from Stacy one night that said, "I don't know if you guys have plans for tomorrow night. If you do- don't feel pressured at all. But there is a Jazz game tomorrow. We'll bring dinner if we can watch it with you at your house. No pressure. :)" Haha, nothing like being used for your cable. JK- Stacy, we know you love us. Plus I LOVE getting together with my fam, especially when they feed me :). So here's our fun night of Jazz watching.

CUTE DOGGIE PHOTOS

So Black Friday, oh how I hate thee. However, I did get a new camera because of Black Friday so I guess I'll have to be grateful. I'm SO happy about my new toy. I can finally take pictures that don't have grain spots! I'm still learning how to actually work it. But I did get a few good ones of Milo!

Snow loves Pumpkin, Carissa hates the mess

 PROJECT

So I have been wanting do have a few wall tables for forever! Since our friend Amanda taught us this great idea. You get a table, cut it in half and volia- you have two wall tables. So I watched KSL and finally we found the perfect table for $25! Then Ryan cut it, stained it, and now we had two cute tables. One in our family room with our Christmas village on it. One in our room to hold the Blue-ray player that we got on Black Friday to go with our TV we got on Black Friday.
Finished products!

CRAFTAPALOOZA

I decided that my heaven is going to be a place where there's good food, amazing people, and crafts! haha, please don't judge. But seriously, I had SOO much fun getting together with everyone and crafting seriously ALL day long! I got my little taste of heaven. Thanks Jill for making this day possible!

Stacy's my best pal! She helped me with my craft for hours! And yes, these seriously took that long
Marissa was doing trees as well
The beginning
The Trees!

SLEEP OVER
Preston and Morgan still love coming to sleep over at our house. It's kinda cute that just getting away for them is a big deal. I didn't get any pictures of the actual sleepover because we were pretty boring- popcorn and a movie night. However the next day we partied it up at Nickle City!
Ryan loves his arcade games

Morgan hit the jackpot. She ended to outing with over 1000 tickets! What?!


ALLIE ANN WILSON

Last minute Emily and Craig decided that they were coming out to Utah to bless Allie! I seriously shouted for joy when I got the text. Hallelujah I got to see Allie before we got big. It was such a fun day getting to see all of Emily's family and catch up. 

Cousins just days apart
So happy

FIRST PRESIDENCY XMAS DEVOTIONAL

Our friends has tickets to the Christmas Devotional and took us! So we got to be there to feel the amazing Christmas spirit and see all the lights around Temple Square. It's such a neat experience to be in the same room as the Prophet. We are sure lucky.

Random photo of us girls at lunch. Thought I should still include it. Love these girls.

Family Photos

Last month we had our very talented friend Ashley take some family photos for us. (Mostly I just wanted a few pictures to put on Christmas cards.) Ashley is wonderful, you can check out her blog here. And yes, we definitely brought Milo with us- he's part of the family.
