We are a beautiful family!

SO i guess you can say that a tradition is starting... that every time my family comes to our house we take REALLY pretty pictures of ourselves! haha enjoy! 
Can you see a family resemblance?
Can you believe this is the sam kid?! (hehe)
I know everyone out there is Jealous of my SUPER HOTT family! :)  
-----------------

My sister Deanna and her husband and kids are here for the week/weekend!! Because Rickey's sister got married today! Anyhoo... THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!! They have 3 boys, a four year old, two year old, and then a six month old! And they are hilarious. I took pictures with them on our computer and the oldest of the three was getting the biggest kick out of it! 
Then we took this picture (above) and he say's 
"Shell, that one is boring... make my face weird!"So we did this one! haha and so onThen we had to get the rest of the family in on it! Buba (my two year old) kept saying "NOooo" (in a winey voice. then when he saw he was in the picture he'd say) "DAT ME, taten!" Then their parentals got in on the fun!
Dad was getting him a glass of milk and it was so cute! he smiled right at the camera and then looked away so i missed it!

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our fun family!

Dear Life, Please Slow Down!

I'm pretty sure that i am about 10 blogs short!
Time has just gotten to it's feet and sprinted away! Wow these last couple weeks Have been very eventful!
One- I had an awesome visit from my elementary school friend Rachel Foster! It was freaking awesome! Actually it wasn't to me specifically it was just the fact that she was down from Ohio and stopped in to say hi to all of us. and i do mean all of us! It was the clan back from elementary school! Rachel Foster, Carrie Whiting, Arielle Tanner, Sarah Huish (now Hatch i believe) Ashley Johnson (soon to be Carton), and Me :). We got together at Ashley's house and had breakfast on a Friday Morning before we all had our crazy lives to get back to. But LOSER me forgot to take pictures! However i did get some from the night before when i ran over to Carrie's to say hi! Me and Carrie Danced! It was awesome!

Two- I went to the temple with a bunch of my Girlfriends to walk around look at temple lights!
(Don't worry a missionary took these... haha he couldn't stop laughing at us! We are beautiful what can i say?)
Three- One of my good friends came home from his mission! Actually two have come home! John Snyder and Jason Klingler! It's crazy how fast time has gone by!
I told them to be ugly... and this is what i got... they need some practice!

Four- I had one of my best friends weddings. Allison Mackendrick... Well now it's Allison Griffin! She looked absolutely beautiful at her wedding! I was a bridesmaid and helped set up for the reception! I Didn't take very many pictures because I'm a loser. :) So I'll just do one of the happy couple! :)
Congratulations girlfriend!!!
Five- Me, Mom, Dad, and Jonathan all headed up to Idaho for Christmas! But first we had to stop by my Grandma's and My aunts in Utah to say Hi and play in the snow!The Finished Products! :)
Six- Then We finally made it to Utah for a week long trip! It was so much fun seeing my nieces and my nephew! I loved every minute of it! I played in the Snow, got hooked on The Office! (don't worry me and Jonathan stayed up the last three nights we were there from 7 to about 2 watching it and getting caught up! I used to be a hater! and now i love it!) Played with my nieces, danced in our socks, laughed, played with puddy, and puppets, made Kynslee laugh! played in the snow some more! ate my sister-in-laws delicious food! gained 10 lbs, Had Christmas with the family, (we skyped dawn in on Christmas eve so she could be there but we didn't have Deanna... we were almost all together for Christmas!) ... opened up three presents consisting of an ipod Dock, head phones and my favorite... cereal from my grandma! watched the office some more and then we headed home for New years!
