The New House!!!

In late October we made the decision to move to Sevier UT. It's not far from my Mom's house in Joseph. For those that are asking themselves, "Where is Joseph?" It is in Central Utah Off I-70. Google it :) I am going to be working for my mom and Brandon will be going to school full-time at Snow College Richfield. This will help him get it done quicker and not have to go less than part time in the evenings.

Below are some pictures of our new house. PLEASE, keep in mind that it is a work in in progress lol. Lots of work will be happening. As soon as it is warm enough we will be painting the house tan with black trim and these pictures were taken before the leaves, wood, and awkward trees were removed. When it is finished more pictures will be posted =)

This weekend we also did some painting. In the left corner of this picture you'll see that the kitchen had yellow painted. For those of you that know me you know that I wouldn't be able to leave it that way. So we painted it GREEN!!! Imagine that!! We love it!! My sister Kourtney came over and helped too.

Here is our photographer.

Here is our living room. In the near future the carpet will be changed and the walls are going to be sheet rocked.

We are super excited for the move and will be there full-time starting the first weekend of January.

Thanks Giving

For Thanks Giving we went to my parents in Idaho. We had a blast. I was event full though. My dad had surgery the beginning of Nov. He got an infection so by Thanksgiving he was just barely up and about. He has an IV in to drip antibiotics and it needed to be changed Thanksgiving morning. My Mom is a nurse so the Doc gave her the stuff to change his IV, but hasn't been practicing for a few years to the tools had a few changed..

So we used one of the needles to experiment with to see how it worked and then we prepped dad for the change. So we tied the rubber thing around his upper arm, mom stuck the needle in his arm, pulled this little clicky thing, attached one of the connectors and then all the sudden, don't ask me how, but blood started FLOWING onto the floor!! I dashed to get the paper towels and mom figured out how to stop the flow. Lucky for us it was hardwood flooring and was easy to clean up! We had it cleaned up before our guests arrived as well. Can you imagine going in to eat your Thanksgiving dinner to find the place looking like the turkey was killed right there on the kitchen floor!!! lol It was super funny!!

Here is dad still smiling after the experience..He decided he wanted to go to the hospital for the next one. =)

Jack and Sissy's Anniversary

For Jack and Sissy's anniversary gift we took them to Witchapalooza at Gardner Village for dinner and a show. We had a GREAT time!! It was a good meal and an excellent show! We laughed and laughed and laughed! We had the best seats in the house so we got lots of attention from the cast. A little too much I would say. One of the witches decided that they were going to rub up on Brandon!! He Immediately asked if I was jealous. Of course I wasn't she was not a good looking witch =)

Here are some pictures from our night out:

The Village People!! They all did this at the same time although it was the wrong time in the song ha ha

Horse Back Riding

While we were up in Idaho for Stacy's Baby Shower my dad got out the horses for everyone to ride. Lots of people don't know that my dad is a Cow Boy at heart. For most when they meet him they think he's a total city guy but then the find out that he's been riding horses FOREVER!!

Here are some pictures from their ride around the house:

Stacy's Baby Shower

We went up to Idaho this past weekend for Stacy's baby shower. Everything went really well for not having much time to plan. My sister in law Candice was throwing the shower but she wasn't able to make it.

You see my niece Tylee has been really sick off and on since she was born. Test after test after test and they weren't able to figure out what was wrong. Well a few weeks ago Tylee had a really bad episode and the hospital in Boise Id FINALLY figure out was it was. Lots of problems with pancreas. So they had to stay home and get her taken care of.

So my mom, Kourtney and I put it together and made it work. We had it at Brownstone restaurant in their party room and it went great!! Here's some pictures.

I made all this for her. Even though she didnt believe I made the blanket.

Donut Falls!

Brandon and I have been talking about going on this hike for MONTHS. So this weekend we finally did it. A friend from work told me aboutit and how her 1yr old walked the whole way.

So here i am at the beggining all ready to go!

Here's Brandon about half way there!

Now the whole time i'm thinking to myself, "a one yr made it the whole way by him self! what wrong with me!" This itty bitty hike made me realize how out of shape I really am!!

But what when we got to the top and saw this, I knew it was worth it!

Brandon went rock climbing to the top so and took this great picture.

And this is why they call it Donut falls :)

We had a great time and I recommend it to anyone :)
