Date Night (I have made three posts today so make sure you look at them all)

Jeff and I have gone on a couple little dates this week. I look at them as a celebration because the semester is over for the both of us. I love going out on dates with my hubby because it is so fun to have time to ourselves because we are both so busy it feels like we do not see each other enough so time just for us is great.

I have been really wanting to go to the festival of trees so on saturday night Jeff finally gave in and decided to take me. I was a little picture happy on the way over there so here are some of the pics that I took.

We finally got to the place and Jeff was happy because that meant no more pictures for a minute. It only took us like twenty minutes to find a parking space so that was cool for sure. It was kind of funny because we just drove up and down the isles waiting for someone to leave and it was like a train of cars that you were following. We got pretty lucky though and got a spot that was pretty close to the doors which was good cause it was cold. So then here comes the greatest part for me looking at the trees and gingerbread houses. Here are the pictures of us waiting in line to see the houses.

Ok so there is only one picture because this is the only one that I ended up liking but here is the massive gingerbread house someone made.

Tonight we went on a date also to the Utah game. It was kind of me doing something for Jeff becuase he came to the festival with me. It was for sure a lot better then watching the game at home cause then you are in the action instead of falling asleep on the couch. My favorite part was watching watching the crowd and it was funny because there were some Utah football players sitting next to us all of the little kids kept attacking them to get their autographs and they were just so excited to be able to talk to those "cool football players" I also noticed that even though the players were trying to act cool and like people always wanted their autographs you could tell that they were lovin it for sure.

So I know this was pretty boring for you to read but I still have two others if you wanna read them be my guest.

Return with Honor

So today is the day that our very own Roxy went into the MTC (tear). I can not believe that she is gone now but I know that she will do good things. I have some pictures from her farewell, and from the Monday night dinner and game night we had as our last shabang before she left.

We went to dinner at some asian restaurant called....umm I dont remember the name but it started with an M. I got some sushi and it was good good good.

Roxy used to work at a coffee shop and so the owner let us come in after hours and just hang out. We had a ton of fun we played games, danced a little and just chatted. This second picture makes me giggle because of chandees face in the background. I dont know if she is meaning to make this face or not but it makes me laugh thats for sure.

Tina makes me laugh in this picture she is so great I love her ha ha. We are all going to miss Roxy a whole bunch but I am so excited for the day that she gets back and she will have so many great stories to tell us coming straight from the porn capitol of the USA. :)

Thanksgiving and BLACK FRIDAY!!

So I am going to start off with Thanksgiving. Jeff and I had two dinners this year one at his moms and one at my grandmas. One was at 2:00p.m. and the other was at 6:00p.m. so it was good to have some time in between. Here are some pictures from dinner at my grandmas.

This is a picture of My Brother, Myself and Jeffery

This is Josh and my grandma getting the turkey ready for my grandpa to cut it and my mom and Jeff snuck into this picture.

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun this year we just relaxed and hung out with family. I love thanksgiving and the opportunity we have to be with family and just the way it feels compared to any normal old Sunday feast.

So when the festivities were all over I planned with my sister in law where we were going to go shopping the next day and let me tell you I had a blast shopping with Kari and Adrianne. I only took one picture because it was early and I forgot I had my camera. We loaded up the care though between all three of us shopping their was a lot of stuff to buy.

My favorite place was Toys R Us and I dont have any kids but just being there with all of those moms that were excited to get stuff for their kids was a lot of fun. I was tempted to just buy some toys for any random kid because I was getting so into it.

This was our schedule we woke up and 4:00 a.m. and then headed to Wal-Mart where people were already in the store guarding the stuff they wanted but lucky for us we did not want any of the fancy electronics that others wanted so we just went around looking and loaded up the cart major and then checked out pretty quickly. Our next stop was Toys R Us and I already told you how fun that was. Then we went to the mall and around this time I was getting tired so we ate at Chick-fil-A and then looked around for a little while. We left left the mall at like 9:00a.m. and headed home. I was so tired I just fell right into bed and took a pretty long nap. I woke up ready to decorate the tree so we got it out and here is the finished product. Our ornaments are pretty ghetto because we dont have all the money in the world to buy nice ones.

I dont know how to flip these pictures I am still learning so you have to tilt your head to looks at it. Sorry!!

FuN ChRiStMaS CoUnTdOwN / NeW CaMeRa

So this Christmas I have been feeling pretty creative and I have been wanting to do as many crafts as possible. My newest creation is a Christmas countdown. It is basically just scrapbook paper on a cookie sheet and it is magnetic so you can switch it out and count down to anything you want to. I just like it as Christmas but we will see how I am feeling later.

My next exciting news is that I got a new camera. I am very proud of myself to because normally I see something I like and I just buy it right away but this time I did my research I got a great deal.

I bought this camera that is normally a $200.00 camera for..............$59.99

I was so happy that I waited and got the best deal I could get cause I love my camera now.

Halloween Dinner

Jeff and I had a couple of our friends over for dinner and it was Halloween but we did not all dress up. It was really fun to get to see everyone. I made Taco soup and we played Catch phrase which is like my favorite game and as you can tell from the picture below that I really get into it. This will be the last time we will all be together for awhile because our very own roxy is going on a mission and I am so excited for her but I am going to miss her like crazy.

Our future babies!!!

So Jeff was looking online and found this funny website where you can see what your babies will look like. This is little Deshawn and little Shakara. I let him name them because their is no way he is going to be naming our real babies these crazy ghetto names that he loves. The names that he picked out are not as bad as some of the name that he thinks of all the time. Jeff is also mad that little Deshawn has red hair lol we tried to change it so many times but red hair was all that we got. O so funny. Everyone should try this out to see what their little guys will look like.

I wanted to get creative.

I have had fridays off for the last two weeks so I decided to MOG PODGE some stuff. This is what I came up with. I took some wooden letters and put scrapbook paper on them. It was really fun, fast, and easy.

This is the picture that i am going to put them above. I could not figure out how to turn my pictures on here so you have to look at it sideways. I am waiting to put up the letters because I think that I want to add another wood block either a heart or star I am not sure yet.

I am also working on some other projects that I think are going to be awesome so I will keep you updated. If any one has any great ideas for decorating or craft ideas I always love great ideas.

Nickel Mania

Tonight Jeff and I went to Dinner with April and Josh to a place called Chef Tom's I would not recommend it thats for sure. We then went and had a wild and crazy night at the good ole NICKEL MANIA. We had such a good time I never even knew that was possible at such a ghetto place. I think that about half of the machines stole our money but the other half gave us some mad tickets. That was for sure the best part was cashing in the tickets I felt like I was ten again it was great. Only about 2 hours and ten dollars later Jeff and I had won 488 Tickets. We then got to pick out our prizes. Jeff got a whoopi cushion, laffy taffy and a warhead. I picked out some sticker earring, laffy taffy, warheads and this cool thing that can pop really high. We then decided to eat the warheads at that same time and I think that we both about died it was so funny. I did not get any pictures because I am lame and did not have my camera but on the next wild and crazy night I will be all over that.
