The Last of 2009

Here are some things we got to do in the last month of 2009.


Brooklyn , my niece, got her ears pierced and invited me to come along. She was so brave. No tears. She looks beautiful. She picked a pink diamond earring.We got together with Jeff, Heather and family to make Christmas candy. We made tons of things this year. My favorite was the English Toffee - Mmmmm!
Christmas Eve at my mom's was a blast. We exchanged gifts, ate yummy soup and enjoyed great company.
Christmas day was great! Our first Christmas in our new house. Brian got me up around 7. We opened gifts, ate breakfast and watched a Christmas movie. We went to Brian's parents in the afternoon, ate a fantastic dinner and hung out with the family.
We went shooting. It was a tiny bit cold, but so much fun - One of our favorite things to do.
And we spent New Years Eve with old and wonderful friends. We stuffed our faces with awesome food, played games, sat by a campfire and watched fireworks. Very fun night!
I wish all of you a wonderful 2010. I hope for you success and joy!

What we've been up to!

It's been an amazing month! We put up our Christmas tree sometime in November and have been enjoying it almost every night since.

We went to St. George for Thanksgiving and had a blast. We shot shotguns and rode horses and went shopping. I just love hanging out with family.

I went to the Festival of trees. I saw a Betty Boop tree that reminded me of my Grandma. I miss her everyday, but a little more this time of year. I also saw a tree for little Lulu, whom I adore and haven't even met yet.

I got the COOLEST sweater from Courtney and I love it - makes me happy!

We made gingerbread houses.

I had THE TIME OF MY LIFE at my work party. I got to get all dressed up and danced the night away - SO much fun!

We went to the Low Doe Country Christmas Show. We got to see Bombshell, Santa, Bucky Covington and Phil Vasser. Great Show!

We celebrated Cody's 22nd birthday.

We went to dinner at Trio for our staff party - in our Christmas sweaters. Very fun night! Love these girls...

I've been watching my awesome dancers perform. They are darling and do so well.

We gave our friends their gift and they gave us ours. We are so lucky to know Weston and Christa - amazing friends and amazing people :)

I hope the holidays are bringing everyone joy and LOTS of laughter. This is such an amazing time of year. I am in awe at the things I see, the people I know and the love I feel...

They Walk Among Us.. .. ..

It's that magical time of year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us.

These aren't all of them - but a few of my favorites!

1. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

2. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.

3. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."

and

4. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.
