Annual "Fab Five" Christmas Party!

We always take at least one photo like this for some-reason.
For the past 3 years my old roommates and I have been getting together for our annual Christmas Party! We have such a blast and it is great to see each other. We talk about old times and all the fun we used to have together. It was great to see everyone.

Disneyland





Well we just got back from Disneyland today and we really had a good time. Paul and I had never been to Disneyland at Christmas time and it was definitely worth going this time of year. They really do it up at Christmas. Nighttime is so beautiful. There are lights everywhere and the decorations come to life. It was also really cold (the winter blast hit) and that helped put us in the Christmas mood. We love the place and I would recommend going at this time of year. Summer is always fun but when it is all decorated up for Christmas it is just awesome.

We also went to the beach in La Jolla. It is always nice to go and relax by the beach for a while.

Why do people do this to animals??




Well, Halloween was here and Paul and I bought the dogs some costumes at Target. They are so cute!!! Lola was a pumpkin and Jett was a purple bat. They actually left them on for a while.

Utah





Will I have really never been to Utah. Everyone thinks that I have been there just because I am LDS. Not every LDS person has been there. My mom, sister and I went to Utah to visit my Aunt and her kids. They had just moved down from Oregon so now it is easier to see them. We had such a great time with them. There family is so much fun! We had movie night, craft night and then the 3rd night we were in Park City and hung out. It was fun! Park City is such a cute place. We went to the Olympic Park and went through the museum and also did the zip line down the mountain. That was fun. We actually got my mom to go down. She wanted to go back down the mountain but once you got up there the only way down was the zip line. She did it and had a great time.
We also went through the Salt Lake Temple which was so beautiful! Temple square was amazingly beautiful.
We had such a great time it was one of the best vacations I have been on!

Pioneer Day!

Today we had our Pioneer Day celebration out at the branch. Paul and I got called to a Native American branch out on the Gila Indian Community. His parents are also out there so that make things fun. We have about 20-30 people that attend the ward. It is fun. My calling's are 1st counselor in the YW and also the events chairman (everyone seems to have more than one calling). This morning we ate breakfast and then we played games outside. The little kids really like the water balloon toss. It was a blast. We then went inside and we told a few stories of what the Native American tribes used to do back in the olden days. It was interesting. When I get pictures back I will post a few.

New York City






I do not know why it has taken me a couple of weeks to put these pictures from New York. Paul and I got back a few weeks ago after spending a week in New York/Brooklyn visiting his cousin and his wife and seeing all of the sites. We had such a great time! We ha a great time walking around or maybe not so great, Paul was so tired. It was fun seeing all of the huge buildings. That town is so different than Phoenix. There are people everywhere and everyone walks everywhere. It is kind of cool and something that I could get used to. We had a great time spending time with Paul's cousins and getting to know them better. We stayed with them and it was great. They took us to all of the great local restaurants in there neighborhood and the food was great. They even got me to try sushi. That probably was not a good idea since it came up about an hour latter. :( Well at least I can say that I tried it. We also took a day trip to DC on the Am track and had a great time. Paul has never been and he loved it. It is a town that we will go back to because we did not have much time to see it all. It is a great place to visit with so much history and a great feel to it. My mom and sister also came with us on the trip and we all had a great time.

Great Friends!


I just got back from going to Flagstaff for a girls get together. We had such a great time! Some old friends and I from college got together after not seeing each other for years. We had such a great time talking about old times and the funny, crazy things that we did in college. It was like we were never apart. It is great to have friends that you have not seen or spoken to in years and when you come back together it is like you talked to each other every day. Great friends are hard to come by. Thank you for bringing your old photo albums Britt they brought back the old times.

"Do You Feel Lucky?"





Last weekend Paul and I went shooting with his Dad out in the desert by our house. We had a great time and we did pretty well. We love to take the guns out and go shoot at targets. Paul is a pretty good shoot and I am getting better. I even hit the bull’s eye this time! Check out the cows that were out there with us.

Out in Albuquerque

So this morning I woke up really earlier today to go to Albuquerque for work. We are doing some models out here for Beazer Homes. My sister and mom also came. It is nice when we can make a work trip into a family trip. We worked until about 9:30pm and started at 4:30am. It was a long day!!!

"Take Me Out To The Ballgame"




Last night Paul and I got to go to a Diamondbacks game! It was a lot of fun. My aunt has season tickets and split them up with the family. There were pretty good seats with foul balls come at us left and right. A guy caught a foul ball right behind us. It was pretty cool. The balls come at you pretty fast. The D-backs were playing the San Diego Padres and it was a pretty good game. Paul and I left at the bottom of the 7th inning and the score was 3 to 2 Padres. When we got in the car to go home that is when the D-backs started to light up the bats. We missed it. Not much was going on when we were there. I told Paul we were the bad luck. It was really nice to go and you could not have asked for better weather.
I could not believe the size of the hot dogs that they sell now. They do not have the regular hot dogs anymore that come in the foil you have to buy a FOOT LONG hot dog with a bunch of stuff on it and it cost $9.00. I could not believe it.
Over all it was really fun!
Oh ya, the guy who played Jesus in the "Passion of the Christ" through out the first pitch. It was kind of strange that they announced him as the guy who played Jesus. It just sounded really funny!! hahaha

Trip in the snow!



I have not added anything to this blog in a long time so I needed to get caught up. Paul, my mom, the dogs and I went up to Flagstaff this winter to play in the snow. It was such a fun day that we had. The dogs were so cute in the snow. The snow was so deep that you could not see there little legs. It was so cute! Check out this picture of Lola's lips. She must have been really cold. It looks like she had a lip job!
