MANY MERRY WISHES...

Merry Christmas to all our family and friends!

We love you

This is for you Kari...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING...

always be thankful

Post Twilight

I really liked the movie, in fact if I had had a rewind button I would have pushed it and watched it again :)
I am going to take Lindsey to see the movie Saturday, she has not read the books... I still think she will really like it.
and...
I think I might also take Danielle to see it on Friday night. I told Regan that it would be an awesome daddy - daughter date... yeah not so much.

TWILIGHT

So...
I've been telling myself for weeks that I didn't have to see Twilight the day it comes out ...(apparently some people's sister-in-law got to see it before the day it comes out!) LUCKY Elisa!
Well last night my phone rang and when I answered it my FRIEND Jan was on the other end and calling to ask if I wanted to go to TWILIGHT with her on friday, (the day it comes out) only problem was that the tickets she had in hand were for 4:00 pm on friday. Yep, I work until 5:30! YIKES... Well it seams as if my employer wants me at that movie... I am kinda excited, I will be meeting Jan tomorrow for the 4:00 show (I now have the ticket in my hand :) THANK YOU Jan and THANK YOU Barry, Tucker and Kayle for covering for me tomorrow, I owe you!

Yikes!

I love the fall,

Halloween makes me smile.

My sweet husband is so good to me...

Regan added to my halloween collection this year with the

cutest little halloween cat.Thank you babe... I love the way it fits in :)

TRICK OR TREAT

wheelin

last weekend we were invited to go wheelin with friends. we went out past lil sahara sand dunes to cherry creek (all west of nephi). we had SO much fun. kelly and brenda were SO generous, they brought all their wheelers and shared with us. we wheeled for miles and miles. we found old rock cabin ruins, old abandoned mines and lots of wheeler trails.

we 4 wheeled and 2 wheeled (motorcycles) for hours and hours. we had a big bbq, a huge bon fire and great company. we circled our trailers like a wagon train, we are extremely sunburned and our bodies are SO sore! regan enjoyed both 4 wheels and 2, i stayed with 4 wheels. we got stuck in sand, and one of us got stuck in cow poop mud and flung it all over their back side... (you can prob figure out who by the hard to see pic.) ha ha ha

thank you so much to our friends kelly and brenda for the invite. can't wait for the next trip :)

Happy Birthday Elisa!
We hope a your wishes come true! Love you

Short and Sweet Trip To...

Zions... Amazing as always

Regan and I were so fortunate this last weekend. We took a trip to Zions and A Dream Come True! We visited Lisa and Girls at their cabin, (we missed you Craig :( , not only were we fortunate we were VERY fortunate, We spent the weekend with not only the Janes family Lisa, Alicia, Cara, and Emily, but also Cristin (we missed you Pete and Matt) and 4 of her kiddos, Landon, Maddie, Ben and Anna, and Darin and Elisa, Miriam and Bub! It was a delightful mini reunion. (I would love to share the beautiful pictures I would have taken if I would have had the camera that was safely where I wouldn't forget it, in the picnic basket that I for sure would take to Zions with me, the one at home in the trailer :)

I have to say from personal experience the weekend was amazing, that is until the Stomach Flu hit. ( Bub, Miriam, Elisa, Alicia, Lisa and me, BLAH) That had to be the longest and worse 5 hr drive home in history. Poor Regan, he has the love and patience of a saint. THANK YOU BABE YOU WERE SO SWEET!!!!
I hope nobody else got it!!!!

Thanks again to Lisa and Craig for sharing their beautiful home with us. We love you.
(We missed the rest of the Ray Family, Mom and Dad, James and Shauna).

We however also got to see that trip... Tyler, Lindsey, Bailey, Kennedy and Tucker and........ Miss Amanda Dawn... We surprised her :)

WE LOVE OUR FAMILY SO MUCH!

THE OFFICE...

Regan and I have a room in our basement that is suppose to be our office. It started out with all the right things. 2 x 4's, electicity,drywall, texture, paint, trim, and carpet. Thats right... Until you realize there is a BIG problem. I installed the light and light switch.... Cool it works.

Well now that, that's done I installed all the plugs. Wow this electric thing is easy! So exciting lets plug in the vacuum and get this show on the road. Why doesn't the vacuum work?

Well I had a friend come and look at the plugs to make sure I installed them right. Ok they are installed right, so whats the prob? The electritian left the wires hanging and the drywall guy drywalled over the wires that are not connected to anything!!!! They said I would have to knock a hole in the wall that I had faux finished to look like sueade. (its Regans cowboy room :) That's not going to happen. So with out plugs it has turned into a PILE IT ROOM. Pile it here, pile it there.

Well it's been _ years (i don't even want to say it) . And we are both so tired of it. So we are getting everything together. The last couple of weeks we have been building shelves and can racks for our utlity closet off the "office". It feels so good to get things organized, we still have a ways to go, but I think we will turn this room into an office, real soon.

We have a Chair to re-upholster in a faux leather, Ill be doing that at the shop, fun. However we still have the electricity thing to address, the original electritian moved, he was in my ward, so I guess we will have to hire someone to come fix the prob. I've talked to a few and they say they can do it without knocking a hole in my wall. When the project is finished I will post a picture of the finished "OFFICE".

How Fortunate We Are...

This Is What I Do...

My away from home job Monday - Friday,
I am lucky enough to be able to work with my dad, We have an upholstery business and one of things that we do is the interiors of high performance boats. One of my responsibilities are to do the computer graphic designs, and the patterns for the graphics on these boats. (I take the graphic on the side of the boat and duplicate it into our pattern program on the computer). This week I got my first cover on a boating magazine (one of the boats I did the graphics on), however the cover and the article isn't all about me(and that's fine by me) its about the company that builds the boat, Hallett Boats. Any way its kinda exciting :)
The engine cover on the back of the boat is the graphic done on this boat... We do it in vinyls and it gets pieced together like a quilt. It kinda a cool thing to do for work :)

I have an AWESOME family...

My husband and daughters did some planning and put togther a little birthday bash for my 30th (he he he) birthday. This is the LOVELY invitation they sent out... Got to love it.

Lots of family and good friends came by last Saturday.

My sweet sisters in Maryland and Missisippi (along with their families) sent some beautiful flowers. Very spring time for the winter wonderland we are in right now. Thank You So Much!

My children (some had a little help from Regan) bought me this cute little purse.I love Giraffes, there is a story I won't bore you with it. But they have a sweet spot in my heart! (and I love Dooney & Bourke)... Thanks to all that showed me so much love and friendship. All my daughters were here to celebrate with me and that made my day! Thanks Babe and our Girlys I love you so much!!!!
