Christmas With my Family 2008

So I know its now New years and I am just blogging about Christmas but just deal with it... We had a busy but fun holiday, we spent Christmas Eve with my family we ate dinner and opened presents, its always fun but a very crazy house (i wouldnt trade it for anything, Phil is still trying to get use to all the noise and chaos) Then we went up to my inlaws and spent all Christmas day with them.

So I am finally breaking the new on this Phil and I are having a baby I am 4 months pregnant and we are so excited we find out in month what we will be having, Yes we already have names picked out if girl Taelor Jeanne, a boy Isaac Calvin.... Phil cousin had me for christmas and her present was so cute she made me a baby blanket and had 2 2liter Dr Peppers with mine and Phils name on them and then a little Dr pepper with Baby on it, it was so cute and my favorite present... Here are some pictures of our families

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was just a couple days ago but it was so fun, we went up to my parents house and ate an early dinner, and just hung out with family, its so good to be with family this time of year... I really wish Ricci and her family could have been there then everyone would have been there.... I really miss you guys.... But it was a nice day to just eat and visit. Here are some pictures of our day....

I couldnt resist either....

4-Wheeling

So this weekend we went up to Ben (my brother in law) family cabin, it was fun my parents just bought 2 4-wheelers and Bens brother left his 2 up at the cabin, so we took them up and just played these last couple days, it was so fun, and I was so excited that Dad came.. It was so fun watching him drive the 4wheeler and just having fun, its been a long time since we have done something like this with him. So here are some pictures of our weekend.

YELLOWSTONE

Sorry.... well we are moved in and I will take pictures of our place as soon as I can charge my battery for my camera, I cant find the charger. But a couple weeks ago we went to Yellowstone.. Phils brother was working there for the summer so when he was done we went and picked him up to come back home. It was a short trip but fun, Phils little sister Hannah came with us. So we got there late Sat night and then sunday we went into the park and just walked around the water holes (my mind is blank I cant think of the correct name for them.) and we went to OldFaithful. It was fun, I have never been there before so it was new for me. The crappy thing is as we were waiting for Oldfaithful my camera died so I was only able to take a picture of the sign..... and in that picture Phils brother Dustin and cousin Miles are being dorks trying to ruin the picture by being in it..

Hey its been awhile sorry..... We just moved to Farmington a couple weeks ago, and we love it... its been hard not living with Steph and Ben and seeing their cute boys everyday but its good to be on our own again. And we just got the internet hooked up so I will be so much better at keeping this updated. I will take pictures of our place soon when I get all of my dec. up. Right now our walls are bare. But nothing else is new we both are still working and having fun.

My Best friends Wedding

So the day we got back from our trip we had to hurry down to Bountiful for my best friend Laura Kendall's wedding reception, I was sad that I missed going to the temple with them but I was able to make it to some of the reception, she was so pretty and so happy, I am so happy for her and her new hubby Drew, they are so cute together. I was able to be there when they cut th cake. I love her so much and am so happy for her. For everyone that doesnt know her, we grew up across the street from each other, and have been friends since I was born ( well for as long as I can remember) Congrats Laura and enjoy married life....

OUR SUMMER CAMPING TRIP

So a couple weeks ago we went with Phils family to Oregon and Northern Cali. It was fun, on our way we stopped at this really pretty waterfall and hung out and played in the water.

We camped in Oregon for a couple nights and went river rafting down the Rouge River. It was fun I have never been river rafting before and I would love to do it again.

Then we left Oregon and went to see where Phil and his family lived before they moved to North Salt Lake, so we went to Cresent City and saw his old house/neighborhood, and his house was a mile away from the ocean so we went down to the ocean and hung out there for a hour, it was so pretty and so cold, but it was refreshing. Then we left the ocean and headed down to the dock to go Crabbing, (this was also a first for me) it was super cold but it was fun, we didnt catch anything but there were people around us that had like 10 nets in the water and they were catching a lot, it was cool to see.

When we were in Cali we went tubbing down the river, everyone said that it would only take 1 hour so we piled sunblock on and went down the river, well we soon found out that the river was really low and we ended up walking alot of the river to get back to our campsite, so it ended up taking us 3 1/2 hours and I got fried, I was hurting so bad that night, it was not fun.

So our campsite in Cali we were in the Redwoods it was so cool, I'm mad cause I didnt take a picture of the trees but they were so big, I have never seen a Redwood before and to be camping in the middle of them was fun. And the last night we were there, we drove back to Oregon to go watch the sunset at the ocean, it was so pretty.

We had a great time, we were sad to leave but at the same time we were all starting to not get along.
