Ugly Sweater Party..

This year our friends decided to have a Christmas party! Not only did we have a Christmas party but we had an ugly sweater Christmas party. It was sooo funny! We had such a good time and laughed alot. I must say, I think Austin looks pretty good in women's holiday sweaters with shoulder pads, ha ha maybe he should purchase a few more! :) The food was EXCELLENT and we got way too full. Were so glad we have such good friends and we are loving the holidays. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas!!

Richfield Lights Parade...

Last Saturday Austin and I headed to Richfield for the lights parade and to hang out with our families. I have always LOVED the lights parade and I just couldn't miss it, ha! We all had such a good time, especially the babies. ( Yes, I still call them "the babies" and there almost 3, ha ha) Also, we are done with school for a couple weeks and we are ready to enjoy our break. I hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays.... the next post will be about the ugly sweater party we had on Monday, ha ha... lots of fun! Ash and Brand, I need those pics :) Thanks!

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break was much needed and very relaxing! We headed to Richfield on Tuesday night and stayed until Saturday. We had such a great time with our families and we are sad the break is over. We got to eat two thanksgiving dinners on Thursday, lucky us, ha! We were stuffed but loved the food. We went with Austin's family to the Duffin's and then afterwards went to my mom's! We got to see lots of family and cousins, which was great :) I forgot to take pictures but luckily Shaun took a ton! ha Oh and I have to mention that I woke up at 4 A.M. and went to black Friday and I'm still sore.. ha no carts were left! It was so funny and I think I'll do it again next year! But, we had a wonderful week and we are so thankful for our families and all they do for us. I don't know where we'd be without them. We love you guys! :)The boys deep frying the turkey:

On Friday, Austin and a some friends played in a flag football tournament. It was really cold but we had a lot of fun. We got to hang out with some of our old friends and their team was actually really good. They won both games and had a great time:

Ya, we were chilly:

November already?

I have not blogged in a really long time and it's because I don't have much to blog about. Our lives are pretty boring... school and work is not very exciting. This last weekend we did go to sunny Mesquite for a softball tourney that Austin was in. It was so nice to be in the sun and being able to relax. Unfortunately, I forgot the camera.. sorry! So... what have we been up too? Well first off since this weather is hot one day and cold the next, we took advantage of a hot one and went golfing with our friends.. Austin's new hobby is golfing! He's obsessed with it.Also, a couple of weeks ago we had Heidi's bridal shower at Pepperbellies. It was so much fun and was great seeing all my old friends. Mostly everyone was there and it was like things had never changed.Austin got a new job!! He's had it for a while now and he loves it. He works in St. George which is kind of hard cuz he has to travel every day but at least he likes it and it's a great job. :) I'm so proud of him!And lastly...... Yes, I have my Christmas tree up! YAY! I couldn't wait any longer.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!

LAS VEGAS

This past weekend we went to Vegas for a little vacation. We got tickets to the Utes vs. UNLV game and made a trip out of it. Tricia, Kamie and Kaylen picked us up Friday afternoon and we headed down. We stayed at the Excalibur, walked up and down the strip, shopped, ate way too much, and went to the Utes game. We had great seats at the game and I loved every minute of it. The whole trip was alot of fun, especially having little Kaylen there. He was so excited he didn't even know what to do with himself. He stayed up way to late and woke up way to early.. ha ha! He absolutely loved the water show at the Bellagio (as you can see by his huge grin in all the pictures). I already miss him so much and am sad the trip is over, but I'm so glad we went. We had a blast!

Austin is finally home!

Austin has been home for about a week and half now and it has been great! I'm so glad he is finally home, I missed him so much. Every since he's been home, we've been going non stop. He got here last friday and that same day we headed to Lincoln County for the 100th year celebration. We went to the homecoming football game, got to visit with his grandparents and family, and toured the town of Caliente. I had been to Pioche and Lincoln county a couple time but never to Caliente. They showed me where they used to live and told lots of funny stories about growing up there.

WELCOME TO CALIENTE:The house Austin grew up in:

Suprisingly, we had lots of fun over there and we loved spending time with his family! This last weekend we headed up to Scofield for the weekend. The whole summer Austin just kept saying that when we get home we're going straight to the cabin, so we did! Brandi, Ty, Austin and I headed up Friday night and Lana and Tyson met us there on Saturday. We had a blast. On Saturday morning we went four-wheeling, carved our names in a tree, and got pulled over, ha ha! After Tyson and Lana got there we had lunch and went on a ride in the scout. Yes, all six of us fit in the bright orange scout. Later we played games, had steak dinner, watched a scary movie, and went to bed. The next day we all enjoyed watching Tyler try and outsmart the ducks and geese. ha ha! We lounged all day, ate food and watched football. We had a great weekend and are so happy that Austin is home!

IN THE SCOUT:

Yeah, Austin's "A" struggles, ha ha .. It was suppost to be BAAT, for our names!

BABY SHOWER

Alright, so I know Alyse already posted about this but I wanted to post about it also so here it goes... On Saturday we had a baby shower for Krachelle and Brittani. We had lots of fun, ate too much junk food, laughed until we cried, and almost had a slumber party. ha ha! Its so fun to get together with all our old friends. When we get together it feels like we never left each other, ha. It felt exactly like old times. Thanks girls for a fun night. Oh and I thought I better mention that I get to go visit
my husband in 3 days!! I can't wait, it's been a month since i've seen him!
