Suprise visit!!

So yesterday my sister Amber calls and says that she's on her way to Salt Lake and wants to know if I can watch her boys while she goes to a dr's appt.

So my boring day of house work turned into a fun day of playing with my nephews. We had so much fun! We played with all of Aaron's old childhood toys and after that we pulled out Mario Kart and raced against each other. I had an unfair advantage and beat them every time, hahaha it was fun!!

When Aaron got home from work he had fun rough housing with them while Amber and I got to gossip and play catch-up. It was nice!

Here's a pic of Aaron, Weston, Robbie, and Hunter. (Not sure what Weston is trying to do to Hunter but they were all laughing so I imagine it didn't hurt as much as it looks like it did!!
Here is a picture of Robbie trying on Aaron's affro wig. I don't think he wanted his picture taken, but oh well!!

Baby Shower!!

So a couple of weekends ago (Feb 7) my sisters and sister-in-laws had a babyshower for me. It was tons of fun seeing all of my family and friends there! I wish that I had more time to visit with them. I received a lot of cute, fun, and useful things for the baby. Thanks to everyone that came and I hope you had as much fun as I did!! Here are a couple of pictures.

Mom and Grandma waiting for the fun to start!

Kinda unprepared for this snap shot!!

Superbowl weekend

This past weekend we went to Cedar City for the Superbowl. We have a friend (Shane) who hosts a great party every year. We haven't went the last few years because we went to a different friends' (Devin) party. It would be awesome if they would just combine the parties so we wouldn't have to choose which one to attend each year......but we could only wish!! (Also I personally think it would be waaaayyy to crowded)


There were lots of fun things we got to do. Aaron went snowmobiling with everyone Saturday afternoon while I went to a baby shower for a cousin. I think I got the bum end of that deal! He had lots and lots of fun. I probably had more fun being warm in St George (a toasty 62) then I would have up the mountain while everyone else took turns riding snowmobiles (envious sigh!)!



Sunday morning our bro-in-law, Chris, made us these totally awesome breakfast burritos! Just thinking of them makes me hungry! After that we went out shooting with a bunch of friends. It was windy and cold but still fun. We took our shotgun and shot clay pigeons. There was also an arsenal of other guns that we took turns shooting. One was this cute little handgun (sorry guys, I have no idea what model) that had a verrry sensitive trigger. The first time shot with it was kinda scary (I'm sure Aaron agrees, seriously me with a gun...not a good thing!!), and surprisingly loud. I want a hand gun now. The shotgun like always was the most fun. After Aaron got tired of shooting clay pigeons he destroyed a tv that someone had left. It didn't stand a chance!


I guess I should also mention we had to watch some stupid football game. Honestly who cares? It's just an excuse to get together with friends, eat a ton of great food and forget about work for awhile. Aaron, Shanae, Crystal, myself and a couple of other people played Settlers instead!! I didn't even know the game had ended, probably because the other team won and no one was cheering (almost everyone there was rooting for the Cardinals), until everyone started leaving. I will admit that it was entertaining watching that person who almost broke his neck making a TD for the Steelers. Dang he can run!! But that was the only worth while thing to watch...everything else was just football!!


To end our trip we met up with Shanae, her 2 kids and Shane at Brad's for lunch. It was a great end to a great weekend.

Aaron and the amazing stretching kitty, Chewie. He actually loves being pulled like that!

Major sweet tooth!

The last few days I have had a major sweet tooth. All I want to do is eat sugary things. So yesterday I decided to make cinnamon rolls, only to realize that I didn't have everything needed to make them. So I settled on snickerdoodle cookies. They weren't that good. (According to Aaron they were the best cookies ever....LIAR!!) So after going to the store today I decided again to make cinnamon rolls......I still don't have everything that is needed! What the heck?!! So once again I settled, this time on peanut butter cookies. I just pulled them out of the oven and they smell so good. Hopefully they help my sweet tooth go away. Heaven knows I don't need any more extra pounds from too many sweets!!

Happy B-Day Aaron!!

Yesterday was Aaron's 32nd birthday. We just had some of his family come over for a small celebration. I made Aaron a blueberry cheesecake that actually turned out alright!!

Somehow Aaron was able to avoid having his picture taken but he did get one of me looking verrrrry pregnant!!

This is our nephew C.J. wearing Esther's glasses.

Me and Esther totally unaware that Jessica was making funny faces......Again!!

Welcome Home!!!

This past weekend Aaron and I went down to Oak City to welcome back a friend of ours that just came home from her mission. Welcome back Crystal!!! We missed you!! Here are some pics from the trip.

Shanae, Tammy, Crystal, Me, and Katie posing for the camera.

Catch up!

It's been awhile so I guess I'm trying to play catch up!

For those who don't know Aaron and I are expecting our first baby in March 2009. We found out last Tuesday that it's a girl!!! Kind of a shock, I sorta figured that we'd follow family trend and have a boy. (We have 9 nephew and only 3 neices!)

As of today I am half way through!! I couldn't be more excited!

I guess that I don't have anything more to say. Hopefully next time I decide to keep in touch it'll be a lot sooner!!
