Magic Show Party

For my darling niece's birthday her parents arranged for a Magician to come and do a  magic show.  It was awesome!! When we got there we recognized him because he did an assembly at our kid's school.  He was a total hoot!  We laughed during the entire party and the kids had a great time!

Slenderman

I would like to say that this picture was taken of everyone anxiously engaged in scripture study but alas it was not. Have you ever heard of the new App called Slenderman?  For the love!  It's a game where you basically have to retrieve items in different locations without getting caught by Slenderman.  When he catches you he pops up out of no where and you'd laugh if you watched each of my family members play it for the first time . . . talk about jumpy!! haha!  It's pretty humorous from my view.

Recognize Anyone? haha!

Recognize anyone in this picture??  Haha!  I found my old Ward Directory when I was packing up the house and cracked up when I saw this page.  Talya Blomquist and I have lived by each other in three different neighborhoods now (Springville, Eagle Mountain, and Saratoga Springs) and I'm sad this is the first time we will not be living by each other in over 10 years.  She's one of my dearest friends and I will miss her! (Oh, and can I just say that I am thrilled I have changed my hairstyle since then - eek!)

Corner Canyon Awesomeness!

My good friend, Shauna Powell, and I went on an awesome run all around Corner Canyon by the Draper Temple right after Christmas Break.  It was the most beautiful day, after SO many days of the most awful inversion.  We had such a great time and the conditions could not have been better.  I sure love running!

Cafe Rio with Friends :)

I was lucky enough to go to lunch with two of my great friends, Jaime Theler and Sheryle Coray before we moved and it was very enjoyable.  Jaime was sweet and gave Sheryle and I each a Christmas gift and the picture she gave me was perfect - I WILL always keep falling in love with Jason!  When we were leaving I told Jaime it would be funny to text a picture of her holding that picture to her husband with a funny quote.  We had a good giggle over it. :)

New Year's Day

We usually go sledding with all of my family on New Year's Day, but this year we decided to get together and play basketball.  So many of our children are getting older and a lot of them play competition basketball so it was a LOT of fun to play. We split everyone up into 3 teams and then rotated teams that played.  The only thing that could have made the games better would have been for my mom's ward building to have wood floors instead of carpet ;) haha!

New Year's Eve

Usually we stay home on New Year's Eve and invite friends and family to our house, but this year Jason's brother, Eric, invited us to come over so we did :)  We had a lot of fun with yummy food, and playing the Kinect then we left so that we could take Kelsea to a party with her friends.  We spent the rest of the night at home and rang in the New Year with each other.  It was a lot of fun!
