Old baby pictures!

I clearly loved to party.

Johan just being a perfect little boy.

Thanksgiving and Birthday

So Thanksgiving was a blast seeing my Brother-in-laws. They came Wednesday day to stay and slept over for Thanksgiving and for my Birthday. It was a lot of fun to work and try thanksgiving with just a few of us. We also decided to try to catch a flick, and to find a theater. We ended up having a driving adventure. Never trust Google Maps when you are traveling in American Fork. We ended up in a neighborhood without any theater in sight.

I was greatful for the help and support from my husband for Thanksgiving.

For my birthday, It actually fell on Black Friday which I didn't wake up in time for. Shucks! But the guys did help me pick out a few outfits for myself and a few for Johan. Then we ate leftovers and watched Up. Johan is going to take me out to somewhere more fancy this next week. I'm way excited to see what Johan has instore.

Hair Extensions anybody?

I got my birthday present early.

Hair dyed brown and before extensions

Opening Night of New Moon!!

NEW MOOONN!!!!

I went with my close friend Rachel to go see New Moon opening night. I had tried to get Johan to come see it with me. He simply told me, 'When Hell freezes over.' Sooo, I sat in line from 7 to 9 outside in the cold. I made some friends and almost watched two girls get into a fist fight. (Luckily, the mother pulled the girl away.) I then was told that my friends were waiting inside. I was a little sad that I had waited two hours and they had been inside the whole time.

Rachel and I wore our t-shirts we had made for the Breaking Dawn release party. (saddly, Breann couldn't make it. She also had made one.) We tried to pass the time by taking goofy pictures and talking to each other.

After thoughts: I thought the movie was a big improvement. (Twilight had been horrible.) It had a lot of eye candy for girls and I enjoyed it. I am now just considering waiting a week before I go to another Twilight Saga movie. I could of done without the screaming girls. (I joined in a few times cause I thought it was funny.) It turned me more into a Team Jacob fan.

Lillian's Birthday Party

My niece just celebrated her sixth birthday. I was in charge of putting glitter on the girls and making them look like Rockstars. They learned the electric slide, Dressed up, played star, star, DIVA! (same as Duck, Duck, Goose.), and a freeze game. It was a super cute birthday party for her and I was glad to be able to record it.

Hanging with the girls

I went with Leah to watch our school's fashion show and thought it was pretty neat. (We still thought our fashion show was better.) We then tried to pass the time before me met everyone by hanging at Walmart and jumping pictures.

It was super fun being able to hang with the girl's from good old Hairschool days. We ate at AppleBee's and then watched Hocus Pocus to celebrate Friday the 13th. Its just fun to get out and hang with the other girls.

Celebrating Johan's BIRTHDAY!!!

The night before I had decorated the house with suprise decorations for him. I ended up buying him the book he always wanted, The Hitchhiker guide to the Galaxy. We went to our favorite place. Carraba's Italian Grill. We both enjoyed delicious steaks. We then tried to figure out how to end the night and went and chilled with Albert and Louis. Watched the Game for a bit, and went and watched the movie Surrogates. It was a blast to hear from everyone and their birthday wishes! Thanks for making it special!

Nightmare on 13th street

I decided that it would be a good idea to go to a haunted house here in Utah for once. I decided to go to a really good one and try to avoid the certain ones that were lame. I had heard about Nightmare on 13th in Salt Lake City. It was on the travel channel as one of the top 5 in the nation. Soooo, why not? I went with one of my girlfriends...which wasn't a good idea. (We both had never gone to it before.)

I had never been soooo scared in my life or screamed sooo much. We got lost at one point in the clown Maze... We seriously went in circles forever. I decided I was going to be the leader of our small group. (We found three other girls to tag along with.) Which was even more of a terrible idea!! I swear I was slammed into walls a billion times because someone had jumped out and chased me. Also, a girl in our group had punched a wall by accident and was bleeding. It was a pretty good haunted house and left us shakey and tired. I wished I had packed a bottle water to cool my sore throat.

Puppy Hungry

In more recent news....I am wanting a puppy. I have looked and looked and researched about different dogs and I came to the conclusion that Welsh Corgi's are the way I want to go with a dog. What I read about them was they were adaptable to each situation and really a family dog. I Just hope we get and train one that would be in that catagory. Johan on the other hand really wants a cocker spaniel...

Still trying to decide...Help!!

P.s. We are still going to have to ask our landlord if it is okay...we shall see.

Camp Out

I had planned to go with Johan and my brother camping.(Since he didn't have school) We had set aside camping for a few weeks and soon the day came. Johan had ended up tired and passing out at home. He had worked the night before till 6 o'clock in the morning and had little to no sleep. I ended up going camping my brother. We went off toward walmart to buy some supplies for our camping trip. We wanted to make Hobo Dinners and smores. It was something I was extremely excited about since we hadn't broken our family tent out. After much deliberation (and a nice bribe from my sister about waffles). Grant and I decided to camp in my sister's back yard.

We had a night of testing ourselves with eyepatches and playing frisbee. I ended up throwing the frisbee better with only one eye. It was really ridiculus night, but tons of fun and laughter. Thanks Liz for dealing with us.

R.I.P.

PANDORA

My mother called me while I work and told me that they had just put down our family dog of 15 years. She was a black lab that had some funny stories behind her.

I remember, my brother would attack me and somehow make the dog join in and pretend like I was hurting him, so pandora would be nipping at my legs while I tried to dodge her and my brother.

Another story, She would run circles around one of our large trees. It almost seemed like the rodents were having just as much fun with her as she was with them. Even near the end of her days she still would play with those evil squirels.

She will be missed.

My wreck...great.

I am sorry to say that it seems in this blog that I'm very unlucky with everything.....BUT I assure you that it isn't always the case.

So a few weeks ago I had the unlucky misfortune of wrecking my cute scooter. I was going about 40 on State when my tire decided to blow out on me. I wasn't freak out at all, because I didn't have time to react. All I thought about before was, 'Great..need to slow down to pull over to check my tire.' I had noo clue I was going to be tipping over into uncoming traffic and getting some really bad road rash and being whisked away in an ambulence.

Luckily, I had decided to wear my helmet to work that day and even home. Johan had text me around 5:30 in the morn about how he almost got hit. (someone had sped through a red light and stopped two feet away from his door.) I was a little scared for him and so I had decided to put on my helmet and not chance brain injuries if a car decided to run me over.

I remember seeing a huge SUV as I fell and just kept wondering if it was going to hurt when I get ran over by a car, but luck was on my side. My scooter ended up getting bumped and the car stopped before it ran me over.

I had a bunch of people around me and feeling an extreme pain on my toe. I just kept saying, "get my husband' and 'Ooowwww, my toe!' I was seriously ready to get some pain killers for my flippin' toe. The ambulence ride wasn't much better. I had a few knuckle heads for my doctors in the ambulence. (I still wasn't given any pain killers.) And one of the guys kept on poking me in my wrong arm with the I.V. I kept telling him my right arm is easier to get a vein. After many attempts on my left and me saying my right arm is better. He had the nerve to actually say, "oh yeah, This arm is soo much better." I rolled my eyes. Now that I think about it, I was probably grumpy about not getting any painkillers.

Finally, I got some pain killers and got to see my husband. I was so thankful for the people that came to the hospital and visited me. (Aunt Terri, Liz and Jon, Evelyn((landlord))) The only injuries I recieve was, :RoadRash-Shoulder, Leg, feet, and breast. Broken Toe. Seperated Shoulder. and glue closed a gash on my broken toe.

I was released after a few hours of in the hospital. I was also suprised that I didn't get any whiplash.

UPDATE:

I am now sooo much better and out of the sling. and wearing normal shoes. I just have some scars and missing a few toenails. All in All, I'm pretty lucky.

Funny story...Why do these things always happen to me?!

You have to understand that we have one door that leads to the main house of our landlords. And this last week the lock hadn't been working except on our side. So we kept it as locked as we could.

So the story takes place with me waking up and deciding to get ready for work. I'm taking a shower and I had shut the door and everything. During the duration of my time before the shower I could hear above us our Landlords grandkids running back and forth and yelling for their mom.

Here I was showering and not being able to see anything because I have the curtains drawn. All I could hear was the door creaking open. I thought that it was probably Johan trying to sneak up on me in the shower. I turn when I hear the curtain get pulled to the side and I see this kids face. I scream and turn and tell them to get out.

So, I end up getting into this type of tug-a-war with this three year old. The six year hold ended up not seeing anything and they keep asking me where their mom was. I just keep telling them they aren't here and they needed to get back upstairs. Finally, they leave and I finish washing and go to find Johan still sleeping through this whole thing. I now often wonder if he would hear a murder enter the house. I told him the story and he just kept on laughing. It made one interesting morning.

I’m glad to say that our door lock has now been fixed. No more random children walking into our home.

We are finally Moving. A BIG CHEER!!

After a whole year, We are finally packing up from our cinderblock walls and moving into a rather nice place. It has all new appliances, Normal walls, and my favorite......A DISHWASHER. It is seriously a blessing from Heavenly Father, because I really don't know how else we found this apartment. I will probably post pictures of our new place once everything is set up. The only draw back that is has is it is located in Pleasant Grove.

Going Hiking at the Grotto

I went hiking with my Mom & Dad and Hine family (except Jon...he was working.). It was fun and we saw some cool things. We happened to catch sight of a deer at the very end. The water was super cold and I didn't know how the kids played for a pretty long time in it. I was in it for maybe 5 minutes and I was ready to get out.

Us and the kids

On our way to the waterfall

Poor Garrett...He looked really

Funny in his case.

We had to climb over logs.

Luckily, I have balance.

The kids being kids.

Liz being a great mommy!

Garrett has a nice glow to him.

So happy to head back.

The last event on the 4th

We watched the firecrackers and lit some ourselves. I always enjoy watching the fireworks, but by the end of the night Johan and I were pretty much wiped out. I had never felt sooo tired in my life. Poor Johan had to deal with me being cranky.

Liz and I decided to light spaklers to set off the tanks..

We wanted to race them. little did we know...

That they would fire at us. We never figured

out who really won.

I was super excited about the fireworks. Johan

was really tired...I was glad he came along

with me.
