Snowboarding

Last Saturday, Feb. 20th I was able to go up to Snow Bowl with my brother Thomas. It was a lot of fun! We woke up early on saturday morning, thomas made us breakfast and then we headed up north. When we got to Flagstaff we had to get a beanie for Thomas because all he had was a hat. We found him one and then we went the rest of the way to snow bowl. We went one time down the little hill, and then Thomas told me we had to get lift tickets. We bought lift tickets and went to the top of the bunny hill. We didn't do too bad, so then we went higher up the mountain. I thought it was so much more fun taking the lift the hiking back up the little bunny hill. The entire time we were there it sprinkled snow on us. We were done snowboarding around 2ish and started to head home. Thomas saw my tire was a little flat so we tired airing it up and it was leaking. We went to the closest Discount tire and they were able to fix my tire. The plug was leaking so they repaired it. While they were repairing it, we headed over to taco bell, it was just across the street. We finally got home around 5:30 and then we went out to Outback. It was a fun weekend to spend with Thomas and my Mom. Thomas is getting married this coming Saturday! I am so excited for him! It was the last time I got to hang out with him before he gets all hitched up :)

Waiting in line to get on the lift.. I had never done it before so I was pretty nervous!!!

Strapping up to head down the mountain :)

Valentine's Day and President's Day

Wow.... This weekend has been very eventful! On friday Alan was able to go with the Young Men on their campout. When I got home from work on friday Alan was all packed and ready to go camping. I walked inside and to my surprise.....there were roses sitting on the counter! Alan had gotten me flowers on friday for Valentine's Day since he wouldn't be home until saturday late afternoon... I thought that was very sweet! When he got home on saturday I surprised him with 6 car washes and 1 detail for his truck that he can go and get done anytime he wants.

Then on saturday when Alan got home we got ready for our family valentine's party. Jaci and Ronnelle were in charge of the night and it turned out really good. They had a friend make us dinner and then we had fondue for dessert! We also had lots of dancing and games.

On sunday we enjoyed our time at church (Alan got a new calling, 2nd councilor in the YM)and relaxing around the house and enjoying valentine's day together.

On monday morning we woke up early and went shooting. Alan is going ot be going Javalina hunting so he wanted to go shooting before he goes on his trip. We went with Alan's dad, brother in law, and cousin.

Then on monday night we celebrated Jaci's birthday by going on playing Lazer Tag at Wazees World. It was a really fun place. While the adults were playing lazer tag the kids were playing in bouncer and aracde games. We played two games of lazer tag and ate pizza and cake! It is a very low key place and good for children!

Snowboarding

This last weekend Alan and I were able to go up to Flagstaff and go Snowboarding with my friend Jessica and her husband Mitchel. We headed up there on friday night and then we went snowboarding at snowbowl for about 5 hours or so on saturday. We really had a fun time. Alan and I had never tried it before so this was our first time! It was hard to get up at first but then it was easier as the day went on. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but it was pretty hard. As soon as we got the hang of it we were able to make it down the bunny hill :) Enjoy the pictures!

A New Year 2010

Wow.... Last year went by so fast and so many things happened. Alan is doing great! He is getting more involved with church activities now that he is one of the 12 year old scout leaders. So he was able to go on a few camp outs and muturals last year. He is still continuing to work hard and support us. As for myself I was able to finish up the rest of my school classes and recieved my associates degree...I also took the net test (Nursing exam test) and passed. Now I have to submitt an application to get into a nursing school. It could take a while, but it's ok I will just work until it happens. However, we are very excited for me to get in and get my RN. I too am still work at the K-8 school. We were able to take many trips and did many fun things together last year like camping, shooting, cabin, utah, attend baby blessings, laughlin, disneyland, cardinals game, suns game, harlem globe trotters, NBA jam, diamondbacks game, high school musical on ice, keith urban concert, and best of all Cancun!!

On New Years day we went shooting. We went with Alan's brother and his son, Alan's uncle and aunt and cousins. We really had fun.... The only bad part is we got a flat tire. Alan and his brother changed it and then everything else was fun.

This is Me, shooting Alan's new Ruger 10/22...

I took this last picture of Phil and Eli when they were both shooting their guns. I thought it was pretty cute!

White Christmas

This year we were able to have a wonderful white Christmas. We left on wednesday night and drove to Flagstaff, and then woke up early on thursday and drove to Monticello. It is only a 6 hr drive, but we didn't know what Flagstaff would be like so we just decided to take it slow and make sure we got there safe. We arrived in Monticello on thursday around 11am. We surprised my family because they didn't think we were coming until Friday. Kelly and her family and Lindsey weren't able to make it to christmas, but hopefully they will be able to come to Thanksgiving next year. As you can see behind my parents house is the Monticello temple. All you can see of the temple is the Angel Moroni.

We really enjoyed being able to spend time with my familly, even though it was cold ( highs in the 20's and lows less then 10 degrees). We stayed inside most of the time.

Friday morning we were able to wake up and have a nice breakfast and then got to open presents.

Alan did very well this year picking out gifts for me. He got me Diamond Earings, Ipod touch, and some clothes and shoes.

As for Alan he made out pretty good too... He got a flying Helicopter and some hunting gear.

My sister and her husband were able to come down to for christmas and they gave us matching sweaters of my brother in laws company. He and his brother own a car repair/lifting business.

Here is our Christmas Card this year

Let the holidays begin

We were just celebrating the 4th of July and now it's already Thanksgiving and Christmas... Where does the year go? We are really excited for thanksgiving this year, for no particular reason, but we are just happy to be off of work for a few days and be able to relax and shop. This year for thanksgiving we are staying here and going to Alan's dads house to have some Ham, turkey, mash potatoes, corn, salad, and some yams (that's our assignment- yams and pie!) It will be fun to celebrate Thanksgiving this year with Alan's side of the family... We love this time of year because we get to spend time with family.... We are very excited for Black Friday too...

Yesterday we started to set up our christmas tree and tonight we finished.... We decided to do a white tree this year with blue and silver. It really looks pretty, but looks even better at night with the lights on!
