Day 273

This is how I found my car today after class. Yes, that's snow on the windshield! Where did Fall go? Are we just going to skip right to winter? I sure hope not! I am not much of a fan of snow!

Day 272

I found this picture as I was digital scrapbooking. My nephew took this picture of me. Pretty good for a 3 year old, eh?

Day 271

This is the keyboard my parents gave to me for Christmas a few years ago. Because of the lack of space at our place, the keyboard is staying at my parents house. When the grandkids come over, they all want to play with it. Here is Keegan playing away on the keyboard.

Day 270

Andy snapped this picture of our niece, Jerzee, at our Sunday family dinner tonight. Look at the color of those eyes! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

Day 269

My car had a recall on it, so I took it to get it fixed today. Since I was without a car, I just hung out at my parents house with my family. My dad was making his annual batch of salsa, so it was pretty busy in the house, but it was still fun.

Day 268

Andy & I went ministure golfing with Andy's family tonight. I haven't gone miniature golfing for almost 4 years, so I didn't very well, but I still had lots of fun! I absolutely love spending time with Andy's family! They are the best!

Day 267

Five years ago today, Andy & I started dating. I can't believe it has already been five years! It has been the best time of my life. The picture above is of the slide at Andy's parents house. It's crazy to think we scratched our names on it almost five years ago! Love you, Andy!

Oh, do you want to know how we are celebrating this milestone? We're not. Andy's hunting with his brother & I am just sitting at home. Fun.

Day 266

One of my favorite craft stores, Ben Franklin's, is going out of business. Today was the first day of their everything must go sale. There were so many people there!!! It was absolute madness in there. All I wanted to go get were beads, and I ended up standing in the check out line for about 45 minutes. Luckily, while I was there, I saw one of best buds, Caitlyn, so at least I got to hang out with her for a bit. Oh ya, we witnessed one lady buy $718 worth of beads!!! ABOSLUTE MADNESS!!!

Day 265

The view of a brand new windshield! My windshield had fairly large crack in it, so I got it replaced today. This is the second time I have had to get my windshield replaced in the last year (I guess I have bad luck with windshields). Brand new windshields are so amazing to me. I don't know why they excite me, but they do.

Day 264

Andy & I have a new nephew!!! His name is Alex. He is so adorable. It's too bad we probably won't see him for a while because he lives on the other side of the country. I can't wait for the day we finally get to meet!

Day 263

I finally got a new laptop!!! My old laptop (on the left) would turn off randomly and the CD drive would just fall right out. I am very happy to say my new laptop that I bought a few days ago (on the right) does not do either of those things! I love everything about it!

Day 262

My sister's & I threw a baby shower for my sister, Kristina, today. We played some fun games and then had ice cream! Mmm...I love ice cream! Kristina was showered in presents! She got so many cute outfits for her baby-to-be (Parker) & tons of blankets. But I must say, my blanket was the best because I made it! Watching her open all the presents made me realize that this baby is almost here! I can't wait to meet him!

Day 261

We went to Benson's bubble birthday party today! His mom had bought some balloons for his party, but as they were bringing them inside the house, one of them got away. The poor boy was traumatized by the balloon that flew away that he insisted putting all the loose balloons (balloons not tied to something) in papa's truck. This boy cracks me up!

Day 260

Cheese, bread, and applesauce, anyone? I guess Andy learned this interesting snack from some childhood friends. I was pretty disgusted when he showed them to me, but after I tasted them, I was quite surprised. They are pretty tasty.

Day 259

Happy birthday, Benson! I also can't believe this little guy is TWO! He is the smartest little boy I have ever met. I love that I can have interesting conversations with him. He is so much fun to be around.

Day 258

Happy Birthday, Keegan!!! I can't believe my little Keegurrs is already TWO! I have loved watching him learn & grow. I LOVE MY LITTLE BUDDY!!!

Day 257

I took family pictures for my brother-in-law's family last week. I had a lot of fun with all of them! This is just one of my favorites.

Day 256

Andy's family had a small get together to celebrate his Grandma's birthday. Grandma Marie made a book of poems for each of her grandchildren. She is a great writer and poet. Andy's sister, Natalie, took pictures of each grandchild with Grandma Marie. This was our picture.

Day 255

Andy & I spent our morning at Dinosaur Park for our nephew, Keegan's, birthday. Keegan loved all the presents and cake, but wasn't all that excited about the dinosaurs. It was so fun to be there with family and friends.

Day 254

The boys had a LAN party tonight. Normally, us girls do a craft, but we didn't tonight. Do you want to know what I ended up doing? I ended up falling alseep at 10 PM on a friday night! Andy didn't wake me up to go home until about 1:30 AM. I don't think I like LAN parties very much, but I'm sure I'll let Andy keep participating in them because he always has so much fun!

Day 253

Happy Birthday, Grandma Marie! Andy's grandma turned 90 today. She is such an amazing lady. Andy & I look up to her so much.

Day 252

My nephew, Keegan, didn't want to go home, so he threw one of his little tantrums. He put his head on the ground, right in the middle of the dirt. He doesn't like to get dirty, so this only made him more angry.

Day 251

This was from a few days ago, but I already had a picture of the day for that day, so I am using it now. This is my nephew, Benson. He is the wildest, craziest, funnest boys I have ever met. This is him laying down on his book pillow. Looks comfy, right?

Day 250

Tonight, while I was watching TV, I witnessed this. This is what happens when you lean back too far on a chair with wheels (or any chair for that matter). Andy was laughing hysterically, but he wouldn't let me take a picture of him laughing. Silly, Andy!

Day 249

Happy Birthday to my wonderful mother!!! She turned the big 5-0 today. Love you, mom! She was on vacation on her birthday, so I copied a picture she took from her birthday vacation. I am going there SOMEDAY!!!

Day 248

Happy Birthday, Andy!!! I've just got to say that I have the best husband ever! I am so happily married to him! I seriously believe I am the luckiest girl on the earth! Love you, Andy! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Day 247

One of my best friends, Jessica, got married today in the Logan LDS temple! The ceremony was amazing. I am so grateful that I was able to be there for her. I know that she and her husband are going to have a great time being married. I am so happy for the two of them!
Here is Tricia, Jessica, & I at the Jessica's reception. I sure love my friends! They are such amazing examples to me.

Day 246

I spent most of my night at my friends' wedding dinner. The food was great, but the company was definitely the best. I love hanging out with my friends! I can't wait for the wedding tomorrow!!! It's going to be wonderful!

Day 245

My brother & sister-in-law put together a surprise birthday for my mom's 50th birthday. We had to throw the party earlier because my mom & dad were leaving the day before her birthday for San Diego. It turned to be a great party! It was fun to see all our great family & friends there!

Day 244

You know that neck beard thing Andy had going on? Well, I made him trim it up today. It looks so much better know!!! I am so glad he agreed to it. By the way, this picture just shows that Andy watches way too much cops! He set up his measuring tape just so it would look more like a prison photo. What a silly boy!
