December is done...

I have been meaning to post for a LONG time! I can't believe how crazy things get! Anyway, our December calendar has wrapped up. Sadly, we didn't take as many pictures as we hoped to or get to post as much as we wanted about all the activities but here are some of the memories we managed to get pictures of:
Temple lights...yeah we're not so good at taking pictures of ourselves. After this, we went and watched "It's a Wonderful Life" with Johnny, Melina and Raylin. Melina made us cake and hot chocolate!! Thanks guys!!
The Trist came all the way from Eagar just to come to Sports Night and scored a few goals playing Ultimate Frisbee.

One of our favorite activities last year was the Polar Express in 3D at the IMAX and we're SO glad we got to experience it this year with the Nicolls! We had so much fun! (Sorry Shelbs, I couldn't get a pic w/ your eyes open!)
Shelbi and I demonstrating how it feels to watch the movie.
All the kids were so cute!! Mike held Treton's glasses on for him the whole movie. At one point, Mike didn't really think Trex was too into it or even knew the difference so he took Trex's glasses and gave them to someone else. Apparently Trex did know the difference because he took Mike's glasses and put them on himself. Thanks to everyone who helped out and came to the activities! We had SO much fun! Hopefully we can keep this Christmas calendar activity alive for a long time!

Christmas Calendar So Far...

So far for our Christmas Calendar has been going great! We've been kind of slackers though and haven't taken too many pictures. These are the only ones we've gotten so far. Hopefully we'll be able to keep posting more.

The only pic we took from the "Main Street Walk"

TAGS!

So I recently realized I was tagged a few times a while back and I still haven't done them yet and I feel like wastin' a little time on here so here they go...

7 Things I can do:
- I can make pictures pretty in photoshop. It's probably one of my favorite things to do too!
- I can talk for like 5 minutes straight and never get out what I mean to say...I can also be pretty repetative sometimes.
- I can waste good sleeping hours making blog layouts or crafts and not feel too bad about it.
- I can explain to you why what we call a couch is actually a sofa.
- I can make Mike smile when I sing him the Winnie the Pooh song.
- I can listen to Tom Petty ALL DAY LONG and never get sick of it!
- I can do a gainer! (Or I could at one point)

7 Things I can't do:
- Skateboard.
- I can't explain myself very well. Especially when I'm angry, which is frustrating...
- I can't go around feeling like I hurt someone's feelings w/o making it more akward by trying to apologize to them.
- I can't seem to go a day w/o calling Mike freaking out about something lame and having to have him make me feel better about it.
- I can't ever get enough sleep!!!
- I can't do anything without Celina making fun of it and then telling everyone about it.
- I can't keep plants alive...or fish come to think of it (Sorry, to everyone who cares, Couch is dead)

7 Things I most often say:
- That is so lame
- Hu?? (or what, they are interchangable)
- Let me know
- Sweet
- Sorry
- Oh dear

7 Celebrity Admirations:
- Tom Petty of course
- Leandro Barbosa
- George Strait
- I love Oprah
- What can I say, I love Martha Stewart too
- Kate Hudson-she makes her own jewelry

7 Favorite Foods:
- French fries!!
- Spaghetti
- Almost any Chinese food
- Gellato
- Crystal Lite on the Go (Although I don't know if that counts as food)
- Chicken & rice
- Tomato & basil soup w/grilled cheese

7 people I tag:

How about anyone who wants to do it?


4 Random things I love about Mike:
-I love how he is never judgemental of people, which I've learned also makes him very forgiving.
-I love that he is always real. He never forms opinions without looking at the facts and really contemplating what he thinks about the situation. He is honest about the person that he is and will stand up for what he believes in.
-He loves to learn and is always willing to try new things. I love how he always encourages me to try new things too. It always makes me excited to live life with him. I always see us growing and learning and trying new things.
-He's so good with kids and they love him. One time we were at my family reunion and I couldn't find him anywhere...I finally found him outside playing a frisbee game w/ all my little cousins that he had organized. That just pretty much explains it in a nutshell. He's going to be a great dad!

4Jobs I've had:
-Lifeguard
-Nurse's Assistant
-Enrollment Counselor
-Lab Tech.
