A Place Where A Kid Can Be A Kid

So It was Hadley's birthday which gave us an excuse to go to Chuck E Cheese. It was a lot of fun. My dad was winning the jackpot. I got to see my mom shoot hoops (which she is pretty amazing at.) And I attempted going in the kids place to take the little ones that couldn't do it on their own. Yes I know I'm too big for it, and I figured that out by slamming my head on the ceiling a few times. But they really wanted to go on the slide. :) I also dominated all of the guys in the basketball game.. sorry but you all can't have the talent like I do. But we are focusing on Hadley because it was her birthday. She was so stinkin cute! She got a cute little blow up crown, and got to go in the ticket blaster with her dad. She seemed to have gotten 800 tickets-completely impressive! It was a good time to get together and bring out our inner kids. We sure have a fun family. Happy birthday Hadley!

Just A Few Things

Baby Oakley was born. Amy and Tyler's Baby. She is so stinkin cute!! We love having another baby around!!

Our Tea Party for grown ups. When we were little girls we always had tea parties together. We thought it would be fun to have one again. All of my friends from my old ward, and my mom's friends came to my mom's house for yummy lunch and chit chat. It was so good to catch up with everyone! We'll be friends forever I know it.

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that me and Linds dominate at ping pong.
Sorry Sam and Jord-better luck next time!

Snowboarding

On Saturday we went snowboarding with Jordan and Lindsay. I still can't decide if I like it or not considering I spend most of the time on my butt haha. I can't quite get the hang of it yet. I fell off the lift a few times, ran into a tree, and always somehow made my way over to where the jumps were at. I did have a good time I just hope that I get better in the next few times I go. Thank goodness I have a husband that was so patient in teaching me. Even when I started getting frustrated he was still being such a sweetheart. By the last run my thighs were burning so bad I could barely handle it. Hopefully I have better luck next time!

Happy Anniversary

January 15th was our first anniversary, time sure cruised by. It has been an amazing year. So many things have happened. I couldn't ask for a better guy to be married to. He has so many great qualities, and always keeps everything entertaining. We have gotten to do so many fun things since we have been married. I know it has only been a year, but I'm very excited for all the years to come!! For our anniversary we went to IFly in Ogden. (indoor skydiving) It was so much fun! Seriously we had such a blast. We will definitely be going again. We also went to a movie and dinner. It was great spending time together with Sam's busy school/work schedule. I love him so much, and couldn't ask for anything more in life.

Kinect

The other night Lexi and Billy came over and we played the kinect. It was pretty funny to watch each other. I pretty much got dominated every game. I think I threw my arm out playing ping pong :)

Christmas Christmas Christmas!

So I did the pictures kind of backwards. But we had a really great Christmas! We got to spend lots of time with family. Here's a little of what we did...
