Thank you.....

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! You will never know how much it meant to me. I truly enjoyed every minute, it was an awesome day!

Approaching 25

Ok so Saturday is my 25th birthday! I am starting to feel old all of a sudden (no offense to those who are older than me), but I can’t believe I am finally going to be 25!! I think I am more excited to get a break on my car insurance than anything, although from what I hear it’s not that great!! Anyway in the past few years I have learned the importance of family and friends, so this year for my birthday I have decided to have a Barbecue, with games and movies, mainly just a time to relax and hang out with family and friends. I know hamburgers and hot dogs aren’t the traditional birthday meal for a February birthday, but what can I say I like different!
Anyway back to the inviting part! Everyone is invited to come to my house Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 2:00pm (or you can come whenever), Please bring a side dish or snacks, we will supply Hamburgers and hot dogs! If you cannot bring something to eat, bring a game, if neither are a possibility, just bring yourself!! I hope to see everyone here :)

*PLEASE NO GIFTS – Your friendship is more than enough for me*

Christmas Whirlwind...

Well life has been such a whirlwind lately, mainly the last few days- I don’t even know where to start :)!!
I guess I’ll start with Christmas eve, Mom, Micah, Brodey, A.J., Dana, Amber, Drew and I spent most of the day at the Valley Mall, Wal-Mart, Costco & Fred Meyer doing some last minute (actually starting) Christmas shopping. Strangely enough it was pretty fun, not a ton of people and some pretty good deals as well. I then left the family went to Mike’s Great Grandma’s house for a few hours before picking Kaylen up & heading home around 11:30pm. Then for some reason I couldn’t sleep- I’m not sure if it was Kaylen, Amber and Ernie all taking up my bed or the excitement for Christmas either way I was up till 4:30 am! Christmas morning at our house has never been a real scheduled thing, it’s when everyone gets up we open presents! So we opened presents about 10am, had our traditional “Breakfast Bake” (Eggs, Bacon & Toast baked- It’s pretty good). By 12:30pm we were all ready for a short nap (Although Kaylen & I slept much longer) before dinner, movies & games. The Kids went down and the big kids were ready to play :). I’m not sure what possessed us, maybe the pot or two of coffee we drank around 12am, but Dana, A.J., Micah, Brodey, Mike & I decided to stay up all night! After a game of Apples to Apples (which I won :), 2 games of Disney Princess Memory (which was very entertaining) & several games of Boxers or Briefs it was time to move the party outside!! Yes, at 3 am we went sledding!! Off the roof of the garage, down the driveway, Hooky Bobbing around Herman Lake road and back home around 5:00am. It was time to watch a movie (which only I made it through), everyone finally started disappearing or snoring which ever came first by 6:00am. Mom woke up about 7:30am and kicked A.J., Micah, Brodey & I out of the living room so she could start her day!! All of that to say…. Anyone have a better Idea for New Years?? Just kidding, I Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas- I truly enjoyed every minute of mine!

P.S. Not a whole lot of pictures go along with this, being that we laughed so hard & were to distracted to go get a camera!!
