HAPPY! Oww...SO VERY HAPPY!

Guess who got TICKETS to ECLIPSE for the MIDNIGHT showing at the MegaPlex!!

ME! ME! ME!

I do realize that a lot of my posts I write, have something to do with Twilight....

BUT....is it so bad to be excited about something?!

Well, actually, I get excited about lots of things...

holidays, doggies, decorating my house, shopping, babies, shoes, anything pink...

It makes life so much more fun!

Here is a still shot from Eclipse...owww, I love the meadow scenes!

We are so excited, only 4 months and 36 days to go!

Our New Years.

Wow....I can't believe it's 2010, already. The end of a decade.....Weird.

Well, 2009....there was:

A couple of vacations (4 to be exact),

lots of home improvement,

some laughing till I cried,

tears,

lots of movie nights,

an addition to our family,

stress,

hoping and waiting,

planning,

new friends,

Love.

All in all, it wasn't a bad year.

For 2010, I am excited for something new....a new me.

I have already made a HUGE list of resolutions.

1. Baby

2. Eat healthier.

3. Work out regularly (isn't this on EVERY ONE'S list).

4. Drink more water.

5. Read the Scriptures everyday!

6. Be happy.

7. Cook more.....maybe try some new receipts all by myself.

8. Be at home more.

9. Train Ellie: potty train, come, sit....etc.

10. Build up our food storage.

11. Catch up on my scrap booking.

12. Go to Hawaii :)

And that's just a few.

Ellie loves the snow.....she goes crazy!

She loves to run in circles, prance and hop around, and of course DIG.

If we let her....we'd have HOLES all over our yard.

She also loves to hid her bone, we play hide in go seek on a regular basis.

Our NEW YEARS EVE was loads of fun.

We spent the night with my family.

We played CLUE....haha!
I haven't played that since I was in like High School....it was great.
We would always play against my brother Jeff, but after he WON every time....we stopped playing with him....it wasn't as fun to always lose. SO...THIS TIME....
He still won. Oh well, next time.....
It was still fun.




After the game....we were planning on watching a movie...but we all got lazy and ended up watching America's funniest home videos....all the way to midnight.
Then, we turned on Dick Clark's Rockn' new years eve.

The last night with my brother Jeff :(

So sad. He had to leave then next day.

I wish he lived closer, I miss him so much.

But we made the most of it....and stayed up till 3 o'clock....watching movies.

Whoa...I know...3:00 is late for me....we usually go to bed around 10 to 11 pm.

We're old.

She's just a little crazy.

Ellie doing what she does best.....chewing.

GOOD BYE 2009...

HELLO 2010 !!

A tradition in my family....getting GOODIES in our shoes!

It's comes from Welsh, a English tradition.

When it's midnight....a man has to be the FIRST to open the door, to bring in the new year.

Then in the morning....the new year brings you goodies and treats....in your shoe.

This year I got scrapbook paper and a candy bar, Ryan got Braveheart on bluray.

It's a fun tradition that we will defiantly past it down with our kids.

So far, MUCH is planned for our new year....better get started. :)

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas!!

I wish it wasn't all over....the worst day of the year is December 26th.

I already can't wait for next year.

Christmas Eve was full of lots of delicious goodies, hours of fun Christmas movies, and the best people in the world to enjoy the night with. Family is the best.

Look how big our Ellie is getting.

We planned to stay up late...and wait up for Santa,

but Ryan didn't make it.

5:30 AM Christmas morning.

Yes....we have no kids......

BUT.....we still wake up early.

Is it bad that I still get excited for Christmas morning?

Ellie was excited too....

she loved to walk all over the presents and try to eat the bows.

Christmas was such a busy day....

started at 5:30....open presents, drive to Mountain Green to open more presents with the Arnold's, went snowmobiling for a couple of hours, drove back to my parents for dinner and a little nap time, then back to the Arnold's for dessert.

We didn't get to bed till after midnight....what a day!

***

We couldn't get all together Christmas night for my sides Christmas family party,

so we did it the next day.

Ryan, my big kid.

We sooo need kids....

Ryan will then have an excuse to play with toys.

wow....I wish I was that flexible.

We had a great Holiday weekend and hope every one else did too!

We are excited to see what 2010 has in store for us!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS from my office to yours!!

Haha! Love it!

This is our work Christmas card....isn't it fantastic! We love "The Office" at our home.... we've seen every episode! It's so funny and if you haven't watched it....your missing out!

Look....I'm Pam. :)

Oh...my BROTHER is home!!! He came home Dec. 18th at 1:30 in the morning!

Let the fun begin!

Pictures to come :)

It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS

Our cute Ellie belli....

and her PINK sweater!
(of course it's pink....that's the best color in the world!)

Look a bow, she's like a big present.....

one that chews on your toes.

Look at those innocent little eyes....

She's got everyone fooled.

Since Christmas is my MOST FAVORITE time of year.....we go all out!

It took me about two days to get it all done, but I enjoy every minute of it. I love my house all decorated, it feels all nice and cozy.

And now I want MORE snow!

The stockings were hung.....by the chimney with care.....

Oh well....close enough.

The TREE!

The TREES....and Mr. Moose.

My beloved Christmas village.

"Wa-la"

There it all is....

except for the outside...I forgot to take pictures.

Only 8 more days till CHRISTMAS......holy cow, it's next week already!

Why does time have to fly by so fast.

One of the best parts about Christmas for us is when my BROTHER comes home to visit from California! We are so close and really don't get the chance to see him a lot.....only once a year.....usually for the Holidays. He should be coming home any day now.....he will never tell us the day, he likes to surprise us. Last year he came to my work to surprised me.....I screamed and cried....I was so happy. I really need him home this year, his happiness rubs off on everyone and it makes me forget all my worries and just have fun. I love him so much! Yay for family, what would I ever do without my loving family, who is ALWAYS there for me and will ALWAYS be there for me.....no matter what happens in life. I am so blessed.
