Britt you asked for a new post...You got it!!

So a lot has happened since the last time I blogged. I am going to start out with Mariannes Bachelorette party. It was really fun getting together with a bunch of girls that I have not seen in a little while. It all started with Britt, Margie and I decorating our Marriot hotel room. It was so fun we started taking pictures of us jumping on the bed when we realized that their were stains all over the sheets so we called down and they sent this lady up that did had a silly accent. She started flipping out because she thought that we had ruined the room and we were trying to explain to her and then finally she got it and she called down to get us some new sheets and stuff. Then we went to California Pizza Kitchen which is also known as CPK which I learned from Britt that day. We made a shirt for Mar that said "Suck for a Buck" and we put lifesavers on it for people to suck off obviously. Mar had surgery the day before so she was not feeling very good so after dinner we just went back to the hotel and chatted all night. Here are a couple pictures of our adventures.Britt and I on the bed just having a good time :) Ha Ha I love it she looks like a karate girl.Margie and I jumping on the bed and I love how her hat instantly turns into a chefs hat.

Sarah making fun of me and the mean faces I don't know how to make. All of the girls outside of of CPK (ha ha great name right Britt)

The next event was Mariannes wedding dinner and her wedding which was beautiful. They had a dinner the night before and it was yummy food and good company. I sat at a table with Sarah, Chase, My Hubby, Britt, Matt, and to of Mariannes friends from SUU that we got to know pretty well.

Sarah and I smooching Mariannes brother.

All of the girls and I think I had like five pictures of us and at least one person was not smiling in each one so this was the best.

This one makes me laugh cause Sarah and I bailed on the pictures so this is Britt and Mars WTF face. HA HA!

I decided to jump back in.



This is our prom picture. We are pretty much all married and as you will see in later pictures Sarah will for sure be next. :)


Mar and Andy are married!!!! I got the picture right at the perfect moment cause the video guy and photography were in the way so I am pretty proud of this pic.

Mar looked so beautiful and they just looked so happy it was great.Mar faked everyone out when she was throwing her bouquet. Guess who caught it???? It was Sarah so she is for sure next. :)

Catt and I just hanging out and soon after this pic was taken we started dancing the night away.

We decorated their car and we did a pretty good job if I say so myself. I wish I would of gotten a better pic but my camera was acting funny. So besides Mar and Andy getting married another good thing happened we realized how much fun it is to hang out with Britt and Matt. We hung out this weekend we went to dinner and then came back to my house and played some games and roasted marshmellows. We realized that our husbands are not boy scouts and the only way a fire would ever happen is if Britt and I tried to make one. That did not work so we recruited others to help us while our awesome hubbies just sat on the sidelines watching the action. HA HA great times Britt and I even had to pick dry grass in the dark that we were so sure was full of spiders. We survived though and after all of this we finally had a fire and made the smores I had been waiting all night for. YIPEE!!!

This is getting pretty long I know so if you are still reading then you are either dedicated or bored. Jeff and I were asked by a family in our ward to babysit their four children for a whole week. They have three boys ranging from 1st grade to sixth grade and little three year old girl. Their house was pretty sweet they have slides by their stairs, a rock climbing wall, laser guns and just a big house to say the least. We agreed to this and I have to tell the truth I was pretty nervous going into it and when we started out the first day I was a little overwhelmed. I have zero children and I am not planning on any for awhile so this was quite an adjustment even for just a week. It made me realize how lucky I am to have Jeff by my side because sometimes I would get pretty overwhelmed and Jeff would just talk me through it and even give me little breaks. It was not hard the whole time it did get easier as the week progressed.

This is the family that we watched and they are for sure a handful but I actually enjoyed it very much.


This is the snake costume that Jeff got in to scare the kids and it worked but it made me crack up. I tried to take video but my camera died. UGH!!!

Spring is here!! (kinda)

Spring is supposed to be here but the snow has taken over. I am over the snow so I have decided to make a project and bring spring to my home. I found these items at the Wood Connection craft store and just painted them and glued them together. The bottom shows the little chicks that I made and they are not done yet because I still have to add feathers so I will show pictures when they are complete.

I have not posted for some time because not a whole lot has happened. We are just doing the same old same old you know work, school and hanging out. Chandee did have her baby and this was awhile ago but I am just lame and took a while to post this. His name is Aiden James Bond and he is cute cute cute!!! It is so weird to me that my friends are having babies now but it is so fun because I get to hang out with them and it helps me not be so baby hungry cause I get to hang out with babies all the time. I love it!!!

It is also my aunts B-DAY (yesterday) She is my favorite in the whole world. She is so fun and she has always been there for me no matter what happens. I love her to death and I can not believe that she is twenty five she is OLD!!!! Hee Hee Love ya April.

BOB THAT HEAD!!

Yep you guessed it I went to Rascal Flatts and it was AWESOME!!!

EMMA AND I WAITING TO GET THE PARTY STARTED...

WE WERE ABLE TO GET WAY AWESOME SEATS BECAUSE EMMAS FAJA ROCKS!!!
WE WERE ON ROW 13 IN THE BLEACHERS AND IT WAS SO GREAT.

Valentines Day came early

I have been blogging a lot this month which is pretty cool because I have never had time and this month I have had a little more time to update y'all.

I had to have surgery on Friday so I was not sure how I would be on Saturday so I decided to give Jeff my valentines present for him early. I was really excited because I had been planning this for awhile and I got a lot of cute decorations and I made these really cute things pictured below. The one thing I made is a coupon book that has little pockets that you can insert love coupons. The other thing I made is a box that has cards that I decorated that are the seven reasons I love Jeff. Then I decorated the table with candy and balloons and just made it look all festive and cute. The original plan was to make breakfast for Jeff and have all of this ready but because of the surgery we just had breakfast for dinner on Thursday. We got this heart waffle maker when we got married but we have never used it so I thought this would be a great time to use it.

So on valentines day Jeff and I are just at home because I am not feeling up to going out and about but Jeff has done a really good job of taking care of me and my family and friends have been so wonderful by bringing us treats and calling to make sure that I am ok. I am feeling great though besides the fact that I can not blow my nose for the next week which completely sucks and sleeping was a little difficult because I have to keep my head elevated and so Jeff stayed up all night making sure that I could sleep and when I would fall asleep he was trying to make sure that I did not roll over because he did not want me to swallow blood so poor Jeff had about 3 hours of sleep so now I am just leaving him alone in the room so that he can hopefully fall asleep. Pretty much that is life for us right now and other then that we are doing pretty well in the Ross home.

The Grocery Game

Can I just say WOW!!!! I have been trying the grocery game and I have to say that I am completely satisfied and excited. Kelli showed my sister in law and I how to play this game and we were a little hesitant because we do not have big families (she has three little boys and a hubby and I have a hubby that does not like food). We decided to take the challenge anyway and it is great. I wish that I would of taken a picture of everything I got but I did not think about that at the time so that wont work now. So these were my results:

I bought a total of $177.52 in groceries

I saved a total of $93.50

Leaving my grand total as...

$84.02

I could not believe it and I got everything I needed I think that overall I have about 2 weeks of food for dinner and about 3 weeks of food for lunch. I even have name brand things and desserts and shampoos and shaving gel. I think that it is great because being a poor newlywed couple leaves your food budget pretty small but now I have plenty of money left in my food budget (awesome!!) I am just really excited about the awesome deal I got so I wanted to share it with everyone and if anyone wants to learn the ways then just ask and I will be more then happy to teach you my ways. They are not that great yet because I am just getting started but we can do it together and I promise you will not be let down. All you have to do now is start saving your coupons that you get in the Sunday paper and any other ads you might be getting and mark the date that you received those coupons on top and then go to thegrocerygame.com and you will just be blown away with all of the savings available to you that you probably had no idea they were even out there. So again if anyone is interested I would be more then happy to help you out and I am thinking about showing the girls at my craft night because I think they would all benefit from it extremely.

Who Knew?

So you might be wondering right now why I have a picture of a rubber band, paperclip and pencil all put together. Well let me tell you that this little thing can tell you how many kids you are going to have and what their sex is going to be and wait it only gets better it tells you what order you are going to have your children in. I know it sounds crazy right? but I think that it is pretty cool. So this little thing works by having someone hold the pencil by the rubber band over the other persons palm facing up. You can not do it to yourself and if it is being done to you then you can not put your hand over any other body part or another persons body because that will mess with the pencil. If the pencil starts to spin in a circle you are going to have a girl and if it goes in a straight line then you are going to have a boy. The pencil will stop after each child if you may and then it will start on the next child. Then when you are done having children it will just stop. I have done it on so many people and it has caused some crazy reactions. I did it at a Superbowl party and it was so funny to hear people getting anxious and talking about how they are going to handle 3 more children or even 3 more boys. It really was a riot.
So I took this little contraption to work to try it on my boss because she is prego and finds out the sex next week so I thought that would be the best way to find out if this is real. Then the next thing I knew everybody in my office wanted to try it out. I had people coming by my desk all day to see what they had to prepare for and the best part someone even brought their girlfriend in to see if it is the same as theirs. I know I know right now you are probably thinking I can not believe you actually believe this and you are showing other people your craziness, my husband thinks the same thing. I just think that it is really fun even if it is not true. When it was done on me I was shocked to find out that according to the pencil (wow that sounds crazy) I am going to be having five kids girl - boy - girl - girl - boy. My husband did it and his said the same thing and I have done it to many spouses and it always says the same thing. So that is my crazy little guilty pleasure I wanted to share with all of you.
