Sports time

The past few months have been sports time for some of the boys...

 Football for Ty

 Coach pitch for Mason

 T ball for Baxon

And golf for Brandon!

Hmmm.... wonder if there is a sport for me!?!?!?

Wicked!

I've never seen Wicked before and I finally got to see it! Thanks to the Gunnells for the AWESOME seats! 7th row!!

 The girls... OK.. I'm holding the program to prove that I am at Wicked... I couldn't find a cool background to stand by!!

And Mike came too!!! Great evening and great show! I will never watch the Wizard of Oz the same again now that I know the REAL story!!

Valentines Day!

It's Valentines Day! Looks like someone got some treats!!!

Who could this be for?!?!? 

 Hey look what I got!!! Looks like fun stuff inside!!!

There's my Valentine! Starting out the morning with some chocolate muffins! Happy Valentines to all my cute family too! Love ya!

More remodeling...

Home projects just keep happening at our house... we finished the master bath... pictures later... now we did a little on the small bathroom...

 Forgot to take a real before picture... but there was just a plain white countertop and a mirror on the wall.

 Goodbye countertop and mirror!

 We hired a professional to texture the wall where the mirror was...

The cute texturer! Thanks Brandon!!! You did a great job!

Now we just need to put on the finishing touches!

Veggies!

Out of my hundreds of things I pin on Pinterest... I use a couple ideas occassionally...

Here's a couple ideas I used recently when I brought some veggie trays to a RS meeting.

Kind of fun... A little more interesting than throwing veggies on a plate! Thanks Pinterest!

The rest of Christmas...

 First of all... we have to announce the Pickle winner....This year's pickle finder was ..... drum roll..... Mason!!

 So after the SKYPING with Trent we had a little deli buffet lunch...

 The hostess with the mostest!!! Ha!!

 Everyone dig in!

 Then Christmas evening when everyone was gone we opened a few MORE presents!!

 OH... there is SUCH a hilarious story behind why Brandon got this in his stocking!!! It has to do with Brandon cooking his first turkey... way too long to put on here and you really have to hear it in person. Ask Brandon sometime... or if you want to hear the really long FUNNY version ask me or Erin!!

 The guys!

 Mike got another major award!!

I got some more milk glass to add to my collection! I've got to find some more room!

Whew... Christmas season is over... we had a great time with family and friends.

So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!! Love ya!

Bring on 2012!!

Christmas morning...Church and Skype!

I absolutely LOVE when Christmas is on a Sunday!!! LOVE IT!!! What better way to start off celebrating Christ's birth than to go to church. Reminds me of growing up... ALWAYS went to church on Christmas morning or Christmas Eve. So the day started off great..... then got even better....

 ... cuz we got to talk and SEE our missionary! Thank you technology and SKYPE!!

 We had a little bit of a bad connection but it was still great! See how happy he looks!

 Brandon and Trent spoke Portuguese... I had NO idea what they were talking about. People say Portuguese sounds a lot like Spanish... not even close!! No comprendo Portuguese!!

Here's a minute of what they sounded like...

Merry Christmas morning/afternoon!
