Christmas Pictures by Hannah

During some of our Christmas family time, Hannah asked if she could play with my camera. I won't make you look at all the pictures she took, but here are some of my favorites . . .

Enjoy!








By the way - that is Troy and Gabriella (in case you were wondering . . . . )
Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Party Time!

Happy 3rd Birthday Samuel!

Last night Mike and I went to Dave and April's to celebrate little Sammy's birthday. I can't believe that he is already 3! He is just about the cutest kid I know and the "kids say the darndest things" could be filled by just him.


When Mike and I were saying good-bye, he looked up from his toys and said "Bye Guys, Thanks for all the stuff" I have been laughing about it all day!

Ella was very excited to give Mike his Christmas present. She picked out a Dallas Cowboys pen set and told me "I know he is going to love it!" How cute is she?

I love this picture of me and Neve! She is too cute!
Also - Here is my new 'do compliments of Kate (I think she is genius)

The Perfect Storm

Tonight Mike and I went to the Skybox downtown to watch the very important Dallas Cowboys game against the Baltimore Ravens. There were 3 HUGE screens in the room and the screens were showing the following - BYU Bowl game, Dallas Cowboys game, Utah Jazz game. Mike called it "sensory overload"


FAREWELL TEAXES STADIUM - Tonight was the final home game before the new stadium is ready next year. Guess a win would have been nice huh?

Here is a replica of the paver we bought for the new stadium walkway - we are still proud!!


BYU - Lost their bowl game

Utah Jazz - Lost their game
I DO NOT have a happy husband this evening!!!

Fun Times


Hilarious! I hung out with Dave, April, Logan, Ella, Sam, and Neve on Friday night. SO FUN! We ate pizza (I ate mine a little too slow . . . ), played Munchkin (Logan completely destroyed everyone) and played the Wii. I had a complete and total blast and this video is a reminder of some of the funny moments from the evening. It was hard to choose between this and "Keri throws like a girl", but this won out in the end (sorry April!)

In other news, they are moving along on our house! (Finally) Here is a picture of the poured cement for Mike's beloved garage. They are supposed to start framing tomorrow, but we are due a big storm tonight. Guess we will see if they are hammering in the morning!

House Update

Here are some pictures as of Saturday, December 6, 2008. The tar is on, the window well was added, and below are some pictures of the back of the house and basement. Also - Utility lines!! Very exciting (good call on that one April!)



One thing though - A beautiful Saturday afternoon and . . . . . . . NO ONE was working. Mike and I didn't really love seeing that ( they live only to work on our house ---- right???)

Dallas Trip 2008!

Here are some pictures from this year's Dallas adventure! We had a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the new stadium next year.

Here we are in the LIMO we were picked up in for Sundays game against the 49er's. That was so cool, and taking cabs after that was really hard.

Here is a shot (no zoom) of our seats for the Sunday game, yeah they were pretty awesome . . .. the blocked punt was in our end zone! Man it was so great - you guys should come next year!

Just one more shot -- Our seats were so great!

Here are our Thanksgiving seats - not as good, but really there are no bad seats in this stadium. Hope the new one is just as good!

Mike's final picture at Texas Stadium

We were in Dallas and had time to kill, so why not go to a Dallas Mavericks game? American Airlines Arena was SO MUCH BETTER then the Delta Center (I know Energy Solutions Arena) Seriously this place was so cool!

Our seats were not as bad as they look - oh well. BTW I got the "M" painted on my face to support the home team, but Mike said we were being traitors to the Jazz. He said the "M" stood for Mike! Plus there is a star, so I guess that is Cowboy-ish right?

We found this Amazing Mexican restaurant before the game - it will be hard to eat anywhere else, yummy!

And here is Mike (looking annoyed) at the end of our trip. We were supposed to be in the air at this point, but they made us de-plane (cause of a leak) and then sit in this terminal for almost 2 hours. I thought it would make for a good photo.
We are hoping to make this a tradition - cross your fingers that we can do it again next year!

My Man Tag

My fellow blogger, Rachel E., tagged me so here ya go: (and I thought this was fitting for today - our 4 year anniversary!!)

4. What does he do that surprises you? Has "hanging parties" with me when I ask, and is a GREAT assistant chef
