Flowrider pics!

Here are the pictures I promised, they are just a few of the ones that made me crack up! Brinse went first, he did so good! Then he figured out that he didn't have to use the board. :) Keith got to help the cute little kids, they were all so excited! Keith tried next....and got up on the board YAY! And then Fell....oops!
(Thanks for the pics Miss!)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wow it has taken me a long time to post anything! Well I will try to sum up everything that has happened! Keith finished finals,YAY! He is a much happier person after finals week.
Keith's little sister got engaged! On that same night we found out that WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY! I am due August 16th. Keith calls it Poppy because it was the size of a poppy seed when it started out, they tell us. He cracks me up with his nick names! We were so excited, but didn't tell anybody until Christmas eve. We wanted to go to the first doctor's appt first. So we told both of our families on Christmas eve. Christmas was great, we were able to see both our families and spend time with everyone.
We got snowed in at my sister's and ended up getting to stay there the whole weekend! Thanks Miss and Joel for letting us stay. The Saturday after Christmas we celebrated Brinsen's birthday at the Flow Rider. Joel hurt his back that morning and wasn't able to help the little boys get on the boards, so Keith got to help! He had a blast and I think I laughed myself sick! I don't have the pics so I will have to get some from my sister to post.
Keith's grandparents homecoming was on Sunday, so we went to Sandy for that and I started not feeling well. We went home that night, and I spent the whole next day on the bathroom floor! Keith got it the next day, but not as bad, I was wiped out for 2 1/2 days! I think that darn flu hit everybody in my family.
For New Years, we hung out at Miss and Joel's, they are always so good to have everyone over. We had a lot of fun and laughed till we cried at Joel and his siblings stories about growing up together.
Well....there is the last month in a nutshell. I hope everyone is doing well, and had a great Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Once again, I am way behind on the blogging. So here is a little story about 2 Thanksgivings... We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with both families. Since this year was my family's year to have us for Thanksgiving, we spent Thursday with my family and Saturday with Keith's. We were completely stuffed by the end of the weekend, but it was so worth it. At my family's we had my cute Grandma Z, I am so grateful to have her in our lives, she is such a sweetheart! My parents, Miss, Joel and the Kids, Ilene, and Dean and Lona. We had a great time visiting and eating. We truly have so much to be grateful for! AT Keith's we had his parent's, his sister Annie and her boyfriend and his fam and Sarah, Doug and Luke. The whole weekend was wonderful! I didn't get a whole lot of pics (oops) but we did decorate our own gingerbread people (thanks Ilene for always having a fun craft!) and Keith took a picture of them! Aww cute! And Miss took pictures of us for Christmas card and just some new pics, it has been a while since we had any. I will post more soon! A big thank you to both of our families for always making it so great! I am so excited for the holiday season! Lots of love!

Happy Birthday Keith!

This month has kinda just flown by. I can't believe it is almost December and Christmas is less than a month away. The month was pretty uneventful up until the week of Keith's Birthday. He had to have surgery, and decided he would schedule it 2 days before his birthday, which I was a little bummed about because I thought it would ruin his birthday for him. To my surprise, he did remarkably well and was really funny coming out of the anesthesia. My mom and dad were able to come up while Keith was in surgery and sit with me, while I worried. Thanks Mom and Dad for coming up so early in the morning to be with us. I was way more stressed than Keith, but I quickly found out I had nothing to worry about and it was over before we knew it. (especially Keith, he just wanted to go back to sleep)He was supposed to have an adult with him for 24 hrs and I was being honored at a luncheon that afternoon for work, so mom and dad sat with him at home while I ran there to make an appearance, and to get the prescriptions. Thanks again for babysitting! :)

Tiff's birthday is the day before Keith's so last year we started a Thanksgiving tradition of going out to breakfast really early. Thanks again Tiff and Whit! We are so thankful for wonderful friends.

Friday afternoon Keith's mom came up to visit for Keith's birthday. It is always nice to have company, I love having family up. We went to see Twilight!!! What a good husband I have!!!

Saturday the 22nd was his birthday and we just had kind of a relaxing day we went to lunch with Jordan and Heather and Annie and Scott came up and brought their Wii. I am a little rusty on the Mario Kart!

Later that night, we went to a friends wedding reception and then some of our friends came over for cake and ice cream. (homemade...can you believe it??)

I guess he knows how much I love to drag out birthdays,(they are supposed to be a week long event right??) so we are going to do the rest of the family birthday stuff over Thanksgiving.

I just wanted to thank everyone for making this weekend a great birthday for Keith, we are so lucky to have such great family and friends.

October Fun

Wow I can't believe it is November! Time is flying by! I thought I would post a couple pictures of fun things through the rest of October. We went to Lagoon for frightmares (with Annie and Scott) because I won some tickets at work. It was fun, but I think the best part was the dipn'dots! I quickly remembered why I haven't been there in years....it was so crowded and I always seem to go home sick. Oh well, we all had a great time, and Keith got to go on the wild animal train for the first time ever! Amazing how cool things seem when you are a little kid. We also went to a really cool pumpkin walk up in North Logan with Tiff and Whit after we made carmel apples. The apples were so yummy and we saw some really cool scenes made out of pumpkins and gourds. There were these really funny charatcter cutouts that we all took turns posing in, we were laughing so hard! Oh, and we went to our ward's costume party, dressed as a Ghostbuster and the Stay Puff marshmallow man....we won! Thanks Nate and Gina for letting us use the costumes! Tiff and Whit went as Biggest Loser trainers, Bob and Jillian.

We went down to North Ogden for Halloween night. It was really fun to see everyone all dressed up! Dad's costume was hilarious! I don't have the picture yet, but as soon as I get it I will put it on here. I wish I could've seen all the neices and nephews I bet they were all darling! I was so sad that I forgot my camera, so I am stealing the pics from Miss and Gina's websites. Thanks guys! Nate's Bday is on Halloween, so we were able to go see him and everybody at Nate and Gina's for a little bit, and then we went over to Keith's parents house to see friends and his family and Luke. It was really nice to be able to go out to dinner with Mom and Dad, I am so thankful for them and how well dad is feeling! We love you both! The weekend was crazy running from place to place, but we love to see everyone and spend as much time as we can. Just know that we love you all, and thank you for being patient with us while we try to share our time with everyone.

Easton's Baptism

I am about a week behind with my blogs, so last weekend, the weekend of the 10th and 11th we were able to drive over to Colorado with Miss and the kids for Easton's baptism and a big birthday party for all the October birthdays. We had so much fun. Friday was Maci's Birthday so we got to celebrate it with her by being in the car for 8 hours driving through a snow storm, but we still had fun. I had to work for part of the day on friday, so we didn't get to leave till later in the day. Typically we can make it in about 7 hours, but with the snow and crappy weather, it took us about 8 hours. Miss drove the entire way and did great, minus the scary ice spots on the bridges! :) I've added a few pics of us all getting a little stir crazy. When we all took a break to stretch, Brinsen and Maci got crowns from burger king and Korbin liked to sit in the steering wheel and pretend to drive! I was so impressed how well the kids did driving over to Colorado for the first time, I think they only asked if we were there like 50 or 60 times, they are a crack up! We got there just before 1 AM on Saturday morning.

Saturday was great! We got to play and hang out with the whole family, it is really great having everyone together! Later that afternoon, we drove to the stake center where Easton was getting baptized! He is the oldest and the first of the grandkids to be baptized, and is the such a sweet boy. I love seeing him grow up, he is so smart and such a great big brother! I am so proud of you Easton! It is amazing what you remember about your own baptizm and the feeling when you watch another. Those kids are so sweet and innocent and bring such a great spirit. I am so greatful for neices and nephews, they make me so happy when I get to be around them!

We did family pics after, which was great, because we haven't ever had a pic with everyone in it!
I wish I had pictures of the birthday party for all the October birthday's. Tiff had a cake for each person, so we ended up tasting about 7 or 8 cakes....I lost count! If anyone has a pic of it please send it to me and I will add it.

We drove home on Sunday afternoon and only hit a little snow. It was a quick trip, but it was totally worth it! I am so lucky to have such a great family! Thank you all for such a great weekend! Lots of love!

Here is the pic with the cakes I was talking about! Thanks for the picture Miss!
