~TURKEY DAY~

thanksgiving dinner was held at our homestead this year!! Rah and Stephen unexpectedly showed up at the door one night!! i didn't really think it was real BUT it was!! i am soooo glad they came home we had some fun times together!! and yes, Rah is a nice person! the young adult table.....well, nolan and kaylene are young on the inside! :)
the "adult" table

assembly line....definitely a good idea!

ok i don't know why but i swear whenever a picture is taken my mouth is full!! could we not wait for like 2 more seconds!!! let the girl chew :)

this is so cute! they sat on their own mini table!! precious!

Sadie Hawkins

so, last minute, i decided to ask someone to the girls choice dance! i was still a little under the weather and i kinda asked a weird guy but it was still fun!

super weekend with anna, david, and jamie

so we started the weekend off at the thermopolis hot springs! we were the only people there until the very end :) it was cold outside but the water felt good although it definitely REAKED!!

here's us in the pool!

hahahaha this sign makes me giggle every time i see it!! this was the sign you saw as you walked from the dressing room into the pool area!

shootin some hoops!

this is moms "power march" she made everyone participate! it was HILARIOUS!
AWE....cute!

the boys and i also attended a hockey game. there were some pretty sweet fights and david caught a puck that came flying over the wall thing!!

!!~AwEsOmE pArK~!!

so basically in their backyard they have like THE COOLEST park ever!! we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves playing there even though it was a little cold outside!this dinasour made me so happy cuz it was actually big enough for me!!

CUTEST PICTURE EVER! if jamie were a boy i'm sure she'd be a football STAR!! :)

FLUSH THE TOILET GONE BAD!! yes jacob is on my head! we all got a little beat up going down this rockin slide!!

TIPSY!!

so we got into this position and then we were stuck there for like 3 minutes and i couldn't get out of the swing! i was stuck and we couldn't stop laughing and no one would help me! :)

yea for family photos!! thanks for the great weekend, can't wait to see you guys again!!!

Family!

Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome weekend even if Jake did get all of Lovell and Cowley sick! :) We had a blast! I am waiting for some pics from your end!

Cousins!

So Jess came to Shell a few weeks ago and Jamie and I went to visit them. Jamie and Ethan had fun playing together! Jess and I had a good time catching up and talking mommy talk. :)

Well she isn't smiling but at least she is not screaming as she was in the pictures taken last year. :)

Sharing crazins and grahm crackers!

Dear Small Monkey-

Never Fear-
Your future pharmacist is here!
Having no exams for the first week this year
She just might call you

Although she is hosting a cook-off of chili
Which makes her head go willy-nilly
Still it is probably quite silly
To not take the time to call you

I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving
During which in Utah will I be living
Not in jail where I would learn shiv-ing
Maybe I will then call you

Man I'm good at poems :)

TO MY LONG LOST SISTER

excuse me for the interuption but i am looking for my sister. she stands at around 5'4".....i think. she's got very thick dark brown hair and she is AWESOME! she has not contacted me via anything but text and 1 minute phonecalls in like 2 or more weeks. i am extremely concerned as to her well being and quite frankly i'm not even sure she's alive because (not kidding) all she ever does is study and i don't know if that can kill you but stranger things have happened! :) now i did not go to Laramie to see her as was planned but surely she can't hate me for that..... at least not for too long! anyway if you are reading this (RAH) you cannot avoid me forever so call soon ok :) ..............hmmmmmm..............revelation........... maybe i should just call her!!

My Missionary Brother!

ok by request of allen he would like me to start posting some of his pictures on the blog! here's his halloween and their very missionary-like pumpkin carving !!

Trick or Treat!

She had so much fun knocking on doors and begging for candy! :) There is more where this came from! Check www.mommytales-as.blogspot.com

Fire, Fire, Fire!

So I was looking out of my back window while I was making dinner. I saw

our neighbor running outside and acting kind of funny. I didn't know why he was acting that way and when he looked at me I just smiled. Well we start hearing sirens getting closer and closer. Finally out of the corner of my eye I saw something flickering. I took a second look and this is what I saw! We thought we were going to have to grab the baby, our TV, and the computer and run! Fortunately it didn't come to that. The fire fighters had it out very quickly. This is the shed belonging to our neighbor in the last unit. It was beginning to spread to the next shed when they put it out. Ours was the farthest away but it could have been bad! We have been blessed!

New Blog!

It is www.mommytales-as.blogspot.com

So i know this was slow in coming but it is here now!! this is all my homecoming date!! it was SOOOOO much fun!

so this is how i answered Tony. Mom totally came up with the saying like right off the top of her head!! if you can't read it, it says yes no maybe so eat 'em up and then you'll know! Inside the cupcakes i baked the letters Y-E-S and he was supposed to eat them and find it right? well he ate the cupcake AND the paper!! He comes up to me he's like did you say yes cuz i didn't know the answer was supposed to be inside the cupcake!! I guess one of his friends did spit out the E but everyone else just ate it! i was like didn't that taste weird and Tony said he thought he felt something weird when he swallowed but he didn't really think twice about it! :)

so taylor has the pictures of our powder puff team so i will have to post those later! This is the float!! it rocked but we only took second because the seniors literally built a house on their float!our saying was hang the panthers!!

this was like the coolest idea ever. we took chicken wire and cut it into stars, stuffed it, spray painted it, wrapped around it with red star stuff and put it on the side of the float!! they looked awesome!

so here's a picture from the day date. we went to Idaho Falls and it was a BLAST!! double dating is like the most fun thing ever! We got yelled out like 2 or 3 times for taking pictures in the mall! OOPS!!


This is my date Tony Hansen!! My dress was AMAZING!! i loved it! and Tony was a complete gentlemen like the whole time it was very nice!


Lachelle got ready at my house and the guys picked us up together!! we're hot we know!! So from left to right its tony, me, lachelle, and shay!

This date was definately so much fun and i am so glad i got to go!! so funny story, i ripped the sleeve of my dress and it was just a little so i thought i would be fine but by the end of the night the entire sleeve had pretty much fallen off. it was literally holding on by ONE string!! it was funny! after the dance we came back to my house, lachelle went home, and shay and tony stayed at my house and we played sorry!! it was wonderful!!

I HAVE IT!

So I finally got my teaching certificate yesterday! I am an official teacher! Not only that for some reason it says I am qualified to teach ages 3-8 meaning I can teach kindergarten through third grade! WOW! Now all I have to do is keep it current. Happy News!

Fun at Grandma's!

Jamie has just loved being in a new house with lots to explore! She runs here and there touching this, grabbing that, ect. Her grandparents have really been enjoying this. :) Jamie and her cousin playing the piano together!
Grandma Sibbett had her curlers in her hair and Jamie pulled two out. She then tried to put them in her own hair. :)
Isn't she hilarious?

Jamie disapeared the other day and went very quiet. We heard some bumping in Mom and Dad's room. She was back there trying on Grandma's shoes!

Moving!

Hello Family! Well it took us three truck loads and two days to move all of our JUNK!! I then proceeded to go back up to Billings and clean the apartment by myself all of Monday. We have finally unpacked all of our clothes and boxes for the house and have rearranged our room ect. It is nice and cozy and we are settling in well.

This is the truck and trailer.In the back is the storage unit we had dropped in the back yard. It is super AWESOME!
