HAPPY 24th ANNIVERSARY

Can you believe it has been 24 YEARS?! I can't! Monte planned a wonderful day for us to enjoy together though and we were able to reflect on the many memories we have made over the years.


It was a gorgeous spring day much like the day we were married. We walked around temple square looking at the many newly married bride and grooms....how romantic! We even went and stood up on the steps where we had our pictures taken at the Salt Lake Temple in between the crowds!

Then we went to the Planetarium and saw the new 3D Hubble Telescope movie. We loved our glasses! Of course Monte made reservations at one of my favorite restaraunts Primos where I had the stuffed veal chop and he had filet mignon stroganoff! A perfect day with the perfect man just like 24 years ago!

Redneck Day!

So I went and experienced my first Redneck Day! Clay Pigeon shooter, guns and all!

We went out to the west desert with Jay, Alena,Zac,Kurt, Monte and Stetson. We had 2 shotguns and a hand gun. Watch out!

Of course I thought "It's winter and we can go anywhere to shoot....WRONG! IT WAS PACKED FULL OF REDNECKS! Everyone must of got a gun for Christmas!

Alena and I of course was more concerned about taking pictures and I hadn't even changed my clothes so I was in high heels!

Yes, everyone, that is me shooting a handgun. Charlie's Angel is what you are thinking...me too!

Book em Danno...I mean Monte!

Yes that is Stetson wearing his mom's sunglasses. It was so bright with the snow though.

PULL! Way to go Jay!

Do You Want a Cookie with your Snuggi?

I know you have seen the ads on TV for the "SNUGGI"!

Of course we have been laughing at them too.

But on Christmas Eve Monte and Stetson thought it would be a funny joke to buy me one for Christmas. So they went to Walgreens where they had advertised their BYU Snuggies on SALE! The lady that checked them out asked "Would you like a cookie to go with your Snuggi?" Monte and Stetson just busted up laughing and Monte said "Isn't that kind of personal?"

Wrapped around my stocking on Christmas morning was a BYU Snuggi and I just busted up laughing. And of course ALL DAY long everyone had to put it on and mock the Snuggi commericial.

What I wasn't prepared for...is I actually use it and like it because I am always COLD! IT REALLY WORKS!

My Sister-in-Law's Having an AFFAIR??

WHO IS THAT IN THE DISTANCE ON A FOUR WHEELER?

It kind of looks like my sister-in-law crossing the river! She would NEVER!

OH NO! It is! What will my brother say? He will be so hurt! His wife? A Quad-tard?
"How could you do this! What does THIS Kawasaki have that the Yamaha is not giving you?" He says with a broken heart!
Monte to the rescue...she just didn't want to get wet!

Punkin Fest!!

It has been 3 years since we started our "Empty Nester FHE Group" and I haven't blogged once about them.

Because we are the "youngest" of the nesters we are can be so "immature" and obnoxious just as we were last Monday.

We bought a "punkin" for everyone to carve. Of course we saw some of them roll their eyes. But then....

Oh what creativity started, serious looks and of course lots of laughs!

We love all of you!!! Thanks for putting up with us! Happy Halloween!
