Hooray!!! It's over!

I am hoping I am not the only one that is excited Christmas is finally over. Some how I manage to get sick EVERY Christmas. Well at least the last four years. Don't get me wrong I had a great time and I love this time of year, but I have never been so excited to have it be over. Unfortunately I forgot my camera every where we went on Christmas day so I have no pictures to post. I can tell you that my husband spoiled me rotten with tons of cute clothes, a facial/massage table and diamond earings. We had a great time and I hope you all did as well. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Means Family Party

Every year we do a family party with my Dads side of the family. We eat great food and do some sort of activity. This year my sisters and I were in charge of the activity so we thought it would be fun to see everyone fight over gifts and try to unwrap them while wearing over mitts.

Kara the unwrapping queen. Her family walked away with the most gifts.

My brother Dave with one of the gifts. He didn't win these but he thought they would look really nice on him and I would have to agree.

Happy Turkey Day!!

Every year for Thanksgiving Kelly and I visit both families. Both of our families are huge when we all get together. On Kelly's side we have some where around 25 neices and nephews. Needless to say Thanksgiving is never boring. Here are a few pictures of our cute cousins and niece. My camera wasn't charged at Kelly's house so I only got a picture of one niece.

Best Holiday Activity!

So today my friend Bri and I went to the mall. Its not even Thanksgiving yet and its already chaotic. I had been at work all day wearing stilettos and my feet were killing me, so we decided to stop at Brookstone and get a foot and calf massage. It seriously was the best foot massage EVER! The best part is that you are at the front of the store facing the hallway so you can sit, get a foot massage and people watch the whole time. I highly suggest it.
Here is a pic of the foot massager if any of you have $400.00 you want to spend on me for Christmas.

Ole!!

Like I said this last week we were on a cruise to Mexico. Oh how I love Mexico. Our first stop was Puerto Vallerta, it was also my favorite stop. It was beautiful there. Unfortunately one of our friends got hurt at the beach in Puerto and wasn't able to come with us on any of the other ports.
Some cool falls in Puerto. The boys did some zip lines up here.


Kelly and I at a beach in Puerto.A view of the city. It was beautiful.

One of the zip lines Kelly went down.
Our second port was Mazatlan. The city was quite a bit different from Puerto. A little bit dirty but a lot more cheap.

A cave in Mazatlan. We were on our way to our island excursion of four wheeling and boogie boarding.



Me and Britt driving the boat back from our excursion.

The last day of our cruise we went to Cabo San Lucas. We didn't have much time there and we have been there twice already so we didn't get many pictures, but this is what I woke up to in the morning.

Well after our cruise was over we decided that we hadn't had enough fun to fill up our vacation and we had one extra day in LA. So off to Universal Studios we went. I love that place we used to go there all the time when I was a kid so I was in heaven.



It was the weekend before Halloween so there were scary people walking around all day and night.

Its called Ojai!

Well Kelly and I embarked on a new adventure this last week and we were able to go on our first cruise. I was so excited all week, but mostly because we were flying out early to spend the day with my sis Katie.
She has a real little place and lives in a really nice city called Ojai. (Pronounced Oh-hi or if you are Kelly Oh- Jay) Here are a few pics.

I've been Tagged!!

I’ve officially been tagged by my friend Kelli Despain. So, here are the rules followed by my info.

#1. Rules of the game must be posted at the beginning.

#2. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.

#3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then go to their blogs and leave them a comment letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I really hate to fly. This is especially difficult because my husband works for a travel company which means we are flying at least six times a year. I am getting the hang of it.
2.I am a total gamer geek. I get online once a week to play Halo with the guys that Kelly works with. That might seem normal if Kelly actually got on and played with me, but for the most part its just me playing with his work buddies.
3.I love to cook. Dinner is my specialty but when it comes to baking I am border line retarded. Whats the difference and why is it so hard for me. Oh I am also deathly scared of those silly pillsbury canisters that hold the crescents and biscuits. One time my neck hurt for two days because one of them made me jump at a weird angle I guess.
4.I have no idea what my natural hair color is, but I am CERTAIN that it is hideous! Thank goodness for hair color.
5. I am going to school to become an Esthetician and I need clients. So if you want to come and see me and get treatments done for super cheap then call this number and make an appointment with me. 801-355-0968. When I say cheap I mean $25 facials.
6. I love to shop. I don't even care if it is just for groceries. Something about it just makes me feel good. Shhhh. Don't tell Kelly.

Hope you have fun filling yours out. Here are the people I have sent it to. Amy Allen. Megan Saunders, Natalie Schofield, Nalani Baadsguard, Jen Cameron, and Melissa Cain.

Baby Kira!

This week Helen and Darrin blessed their sweet little girl Kira. Some of you have been asking for pictures, so here you go. She is a doll.

Here is Kira looking at her favorite aunt. (Thats me)

Here is Kira screaming because her favorite aunt couldn't hold her any more. Well actually she was trying to take a nap and her house was really noisy.
A little more calm once the mobile was playing.
Big brother Kayden dancing to the mobile music. So cute.
