Cousins...

We had a cousin party at Brandon and Ambers. It was a lot of fun..Good Food and some serious Monopoly...The new debit card one. In two days we played 3 games. I won the last game we played!! All the cousins that were in town and could come did...We had Fun...how could you not. Thanks Brandon and Amber for hosting it...

Scott, Angela, Ben, Brandon, Me and Dylan. This was our families off year for Christmas..so it was fun to see some of them. Scott and Brandon during a serious game of Monopoly!!

I was able to get together with some cousins I hadn't seen in awhile!! I did miss Sarah, Dan and the kids...It just snowed way too much..by the time they made it to Utah I was already back in Idaho..Dang it.

Ben and I ...dude I need to make another face..this face totally eliminates the double chin..all the pictures below..have the same face..so sorry!! Angie and I...She is married to Ben. I hadn't seen them in a year and a half. Trick aka Patrick. He is Angie's brother and my fourth cousin. I haven't seen him since 2003..since he was an awkward soul...wait he still it..but a funny one..totally kidding. Meredith is Married to Mike Angie's brother..haven't seen her since 2003...love her!!

Christmas

I spent Christmas with Angela's family. We got up a little after 8 to open presents...glad it wasn't too early. Gage actually set his alarm for 7:45 am, but the kid gets up earlier than that. I was sharing a room with him and had to go to the bathroom, so I tried to be quiet, cause I didn't want to wake him, but the second he heard me move he said MiMi we can't get up the alarm hasn't gone off. I told him we must have set it wrong cause it was 8:10. Actually....I may have turned it off when I went to bed..oops. Serves me right he set it the next day to make sure it worked...at about 7:45 the worse beeping sound ever..scarred the tar out of me. I went to go turn it off and Gage says..It Works!! Pretty sure I growled at him.

Angela showing off her new HOT apron!! Gage got a really cool work bench...he kept saying I have to work all day!!

Kyah got a new Kitchen set that talks to you...tells you what you are cooking..it is pretty cool!!

...Sledding...

I can not tell you how long it has been since I went sledding. I went on Christmas eve and day. I had a blast..even though I didn't have sledding attire. When I went with Angela's fam..I had to wear my street shoes with no traction..had a very hard time getting back up the hill..Ang does have a nice video. It was awful. The kids had fun..kyah's little laugh going down the hill was priceless. I also went with Ben and Ayzha (Asia)..and ben's in laws to Rock canyon park..that was fun. We made several trains then we had a full on dog pile..10 people or so going down at once..It was a blast and no one got hurt..Shocking.

Angela and I at the bottom of the hill...nice herps Ang...I am not the only one. Ang and Kyah...after a fun run..I love Kyah's peace sign.

Ben and I at Rock Canyon..it was so darn bright and it did get a little hot!! Ayzha and I (Ben's little chica)Me, Patrick, and Ben

Patrick Sportin his 70's snow suit...

This is Ben attempting to go down the hill standing up..he didn't even make it half way..I wish his wipe out was funnier!!

Kickin it at Kylee's

I left for Utah the Saturday before Christmas..I stayed and Kylee's for a few nights and had some good times....felt like I was 22 again. Good ole BYU housing...definitely don't miss that. We had a good ole time. Kylee had a little dinner party on Sunday, but her alfredo sauce..was awful..good thing everything else tasted good. Maybe next time Kylee. We kind of got snowed in on Monday, so I couldn't get to Angela's until Tuesday..I think they got like 8 inches of snow. So insane..it just kept coming down. We all know how much I love the snow. Lots of games were played and there were plenty of punches thrown. No one was seriously injured.

This is Kylee playing with her fake snow.....Nice Face. Me, Kylee, and Bri (ky's roommate) All of her other roommates had left for home. He whole complex was a ghost town.

Kylee and Bri...got in a little texting war with eachothers phones...Naughty Girls!!

This is Kylee and our Cousin Ben beating the tar out of each other...I do not have a steady hand while filming...

Merry Christmas!!

This would be my lame card this year...Sorry too lazy to send any out!! I wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas!! I hope Santa brings you everything you want!!!

Love you all!!

Flashback Fridays...

It is Easter Sunday in 1985! Homemade dresses and the cutest flower headband you ever did see. Pretty sure it is covering up the mullet!! We both had them. I am such a beast compared to Angela..I am even doing the lean..and I am still head and a half taller than her, If I stood up straight I would be two heads taller than her. When are you going to grow dear sister!!

Christmas Parties....

I do love a good Christmas Party!! Tis the season!! I have mentioned how much I love the Holiday season...Well last Thursday we had an enrichment Christmas dinner..that may end all Dinners...Andrea..(my partner in crime) and I made my Grandma's Chicken Cordon Blue...so darn delicious..we also had baked potato, salad, rolls and a very yummy pumpkin trifle and grasshopper pie..I am sure we all gained a million pounds..but so worth it. It was a blast..we had about 15 girls come..had a lot of fun and to end the evening Amanda sang Breath of Heaven which was awesome!!


Andrea and I spent half of the day cooking..not kidding..i was glad she was willing to help me so I didn't have to do it on my own!! This is her putting the final touches on her jello..she bought peach jello instead of orange, but it worked and still tasted great!!Rachel (she did our center pieces) and Suzanne (washed all of our dishes..got to love her for that) Anna, Mary, Kristin and Kalie..some more cuties in our branch!!

Then we had a Regional Progressive Dinner..which included all of the singles in Blackfoot. It was very interesting jumping from stake center to stake center..hey we did eventually get our food..hey when its free you can't complain!!

This is Bob and David...Their mad because they want to go and get their desert, but they have to hear the speaker first!!

Kalie, Andrea and me making my typical face!!

I have one more this week and hopefully it will end with a little dodge ball!!


PS..Thank you to Jeff, Jana, Angela, and Kylee for getting me those recipes..
