Christmas FUN!

So we had a great Christmas this year! We did tons of stuff with lot's of different people. I had a super fun xmas party with all of my girlfriends on Wednesday night. We ate and opened presents from each other, and of course talked and talked and talked about all the things that our husbands are lame about, ha ha, like talking about Oprah and being pregnant to name a few :) Dana made the freakin best cafe rio burritos that I've ever had, even better than Cafe Rio! But I had a blast that night. On Tuesday night, we got together with Wren side of the family and ate yummy food and played a fun gift exchange game. It was good to see all of his cousins. Hollie did a really cute red mitten theme and gave us all red mittens, she is so sweet! Christmas eve, we went sleigh riding with my family and cousins. It was tons of fun! That night we went a visited with Wren's parents in their cozy Christmas house and had chili. After we went to my aunt Heidi's and ate and had a big talent show. My aunt Heidi and Mom did a really funny talent, it was bizzare to say the least. Christmas morning we got up and went to both of our parents houses and opened presents. It was so much fun! Our parents are way too too nice, they put a lot of thought into our gifts. We had a couple more parties that day, and then came home to recoop. Saturday, we had our annual white elephant christmas party with my great aunt Jana, and I got a YELLOW ELEPHANT that I fought strong and hard for AT the white ELEPHANT PARTY! Ironic? I think so! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas as much as we did!

Christmas week begins.......

Look how cute these ladies are below, they are all of the girls from our four propertys, we had our big work xmas party a couple of weeks ago, but we like to get together with just us girls too. Carmen made fantastic soup, and we brought food and gifts. I love talking with all of them, yay for girls! This week is going to be the week of a million and one christmas partays. Last night was the one I just spoke so highly of, tonight is Wren's side of the family's xmas party, tomorrow is our big girlfriend xmas party, did I mention YAY for girls? Thursday which is xmas eve, we have about three parties, Friday (xmas) we have two, and Saturday is my dad's EXTENDED side of the family, it will definitely be a chaotic week to say the least, but it will be a blast! Wren and I are so blessed to have the families that we have, and friends that we do! Also, my mom and aunt Heidi have planned a big xmas eve party this year, they are having a big talent show at it (they themselves have apparantly planned a grand number) and are forcing us all to do the same. Any funny talent ideas that Wren and I could do?..... Well I hope that everyone has a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and I will be posting at the end of this week all of the holiday madness fun pictures! Love everyone!

Our Boutique

My cousin Emmy and I did a boutique last Saturday. It was so much fun! Wo both worked many hours on everything that we sold there. I made lot's of jewelry and she made these adorable headbands. I just wanted to say thanks to all my family and friends that came, it meant a lot to us! Wren's family was so sweet to come as well, they are always so supportive of what I do. I hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Huge Boutique!

So this Saturday I am selling a whole bunch of jewelry I have made to sell in this boutique. I have made watches, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. I used a lot of turquoise and cute different beads and have spent hours upon hours making them (not good timing with finals!) Anyway, there is going to be tons and tons of sellers, it is going to be at a dance studio in draper and it's taking up four big dance studio rooms so lot's of different stuff there for x-mas presents, and none of the sellers sell the same stuff either. I would love for everyone to come even if you don't want to buy anything and just say hi! It goes from 2-7 and the address is 11503 south 700 east, and it's this Saturday, december 5th. If you do plan on buying anything, the studio does not have a way for credit card machines so we can only take cash or check, I would love for anyone who wants to come to come! If you have any questions about it just ask!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! We woke up early to run the Thanksgiving 5k with Wren's family, there were so many people there I could not even believe it! After, we went back to Wren's parents house and got some hot chocolate because we were SO cold, I camped out by his mom's little heater the whole time. We then went home and got ready for Thanksgiving dinner. We invited Wren's family to my family's dinner this year. My dad's company owns a lodge up in Midway called Inn on the Creek, so we ate up there. We had part of my mom's side of the family and my dad's side of the family come. It looked like a wedding, it was so amazing! We had tons of tables set up and everyone served the food they prepared in the banquet warmers. It was fun to have a variety of people up there, the more the merrier right? I do believe so. After we finished cleaning the joint up, we went back down to Wren's house and ate pies. I was to full to eat another bite, but it was fun to see his family and little Sky man, he is so freakin cute! You'll have to see the pictures below of him doing his first "marathon", ha ha so funny, I love his little beanie. I hope all of you enjoyed Thanksgiving as much as we did!

I also wanted to post some pictures of the night we went to Phil and Alli's wedding, some of our good friends, Phil is one of Wren's best friends. The wedding was at Hill Air Force Base, and I think all of us were mentally challenged because it took 2 and a half hours to finally make it to the wedding! Oh my heck, first we didn't know what freakin exit to get off on, four exits later, we finally found the right one. After we were in the base, it took us going to two separate buildings with the wrong "event", a ton of driving around, lot's of complaining, and asking MANY people for directions, we FINALLY found it when it was almost over! And all Britt and I wanted to do was go home and make cinnamon rolls, we were ALL so bugged with each other, it was so funny. But the wedding was worth the hours of confusion, Alli looked beautiful and Wren loved seeing Phil. Below are some pictures from the wedding and also some random pictures on the drive home, SO funny!

Matt, Kaden, Phil, and Wren

uhhhhhh? Britt should we be worried that our husbands like each other more than friends?

Too much for one title......

Well there is definitely a lot of catching up to do. I have not written forever! Let's see where do I start? School has been busy, only two semester left, I can't wait till I'm done! Wren will be transferring up to the U with me in the spring so I hope we can take at least one class together, I love when we're in the same classes. This week is Wren's parents time share up at Snowbird so we went up there and hung out. His sister Allysum is in town with her sweet Lilly. It is so good to see them! Willow came up with Skyler too, these babies are so stinking cute and funny and change the whole dynamic for family get togethers, I love it! You say baby, and I am there, I love them! We just ate and relaxed, and ate and relaxed! My two favorite thing to do..... So here are some cute pictures of the babies and our overnight stay.... Also, our friend Brittany had birthday get together at PF Changs. It was so good and we love getting together with Matt and Britt and Robby and Stacy, always makes for some GOOD laughs! Happy Birthday again Britt!

That picture up there is for you Wren!


Look how stinking cute this little guy is? Looks SO much like Wren when he was a baby, wouldn't be surprised if ours popped out looking just like him! And would love it too! AND that is the little sweater vest I gave him that I am in love with!


Look how dang cute these tights are on Lilly? A girl after my own heart, I'd wear these if I could get away with it! Yay for everything girly!

Isn't she sweet?

It was my birthday on the 19th of October. Twenty freakin FOUR years old! Can you believe it? Me neither! Wren and I went up to the Inn On the Creek in Midway for my birthday, it was so much fun just to get away for the weekend. We relaxed, played tennis, and I took lot's of baths! That is the one thing I WILL have one day, a BIG bathtub! I have never taken showers my whole life (only baths) until I moved into our apartment, our bathtub is too little now and I can't handle that, anyway, just a little reminder to myself that one day......... So thanks mom and dad for getting us the room! Oh yeah, and my favorite part! The whole room was leaopard and zebra print! My fave! When we got home, my friends came over for a birthday party Kaddy planned for me. It was an eighties birthday party and was so GOOD to see all my besties! Thank you for the good food, laughs, and presents, I love all of my friends so much! Thank you to everyone for making my birthday so great! Then for Halloween........... I had dressed up as Wendy for work, and by the time night time roled around, my head itched so bad I had to just be an eighties chick, I know that's what everyone does, but what's a girl to find in two hours? Oh funny thing about the Wendy costume, my friend Katie let me borrow it, and this little kid came to my work and kept giving me the funniest looks, I mean hello, I get why, I had two red pigtails sticking straight out of my head, but he looked so confused so I asked him what he was thinking, and told him that this wasn't how I normally looked, it was just my costume for Halloween and he goes, "Well I know it's for Halloween and that is why your wearing it but..... eeewwwww!" I was speechless! So funny, so I guess it was really..... gross? Anyway, that night our friend Nick Broadhead threw a big Halloween party. We ate and just hung out, it was really fun. He had been working on this "surprise" all night and we had no idea what it was. All he had told us was to bring warm clothes. So here I am getting myself all worked up that we were going to have to do something awful outside in the freezing cold, but it turned out to be the funnest thing ever! Behind his backyard is basically the woods, so he hung a big white sheet off two trees and projected a scary movie onto it. Each couple had like four blankets, and to top it off, he had cooked potatoes and we took these hot potatoes and put them in tube socks that he had told us to bring. They stayed hot the WHOLE movie! And everyone knows how in love I am with little heaters, heating pads, you name it if it's hot I love it, maybe that's why I like Wren so much! SNAP! Ha ha, AND they brought out apple cider! It was the funnest thing ever watching a movie under the stars with fun friends, and bundling up next to my hubby! Anyway, so much fun. I hope everyone has a GREAT thanksgiving! Until next time........

My Guy!

I have been having one of those days today where I just think about how much I love WREN! He really is so perfect, and I LOVE SO much that he chose to be with me! I love that he always wants to just be with me. I love that he follows me around the whole apartment as I do laundry, wash my face, make the bed, or ANYTHING else and when I tell him to back off a bit, he just grabs and hugs me and says he just wants me to pay attention to him. I love that he is so concerned with my well being, he makes me breakfast every single morning, and he is so concerned with making sure that I have eaten enough or am wearing the right coat for the weather. I love that he sings songs in all of his many impersonation voices no matter when or what he is doing, it has just become common ground for me, but he really is so funny, it's especially funny when he sings and dances at the same time, this is also something he does ALL the dang long day, so cute and funny, I love that he does it just to see me laugh. I love that whenever we are arguing (which he really doesn't argue) that he ALWAYS tries to make me laugh in the midst of it, and no matter how much I try not to laugh, he always gets me to. I love that he is such a normal healthy person, he never has any problems, just SO NORMAL! I love that he always runs things by me, whether it be he is buying something, or deciding something, he always tell me and wants my opinion. I love that he needs my help too, he loves it when I take care of him and I love that he let's me take care of him. I love that he tickles my feet and back for long periods of time. I love that he is so honest. I love that he is so kind, he doesn't talk bad about anyone, like ever! I love that he has the best attitude out of anyone I know, this kid literally NEVER complains, I'm not kidding, he'll be dead asleep at 6:00am in the morning when I have to get up for school and he wants me to leave the bedroom door open while I get ready so he can hear me, and I'll ask if he's tired (which clearly he is, hello he's sleeping) and he'll say, "No I'm not tired I'm good." Really I have yet to hear him complain about something, it almost bugs me that he doesn't! Sometimes I force him to take Ibeprofen just because it's so irritating that he never needs it! I love that he calls me twenty times throughout the day just to say hi or ask me a question about what he is doing during that second. I love that he loves the outdoors, and always wants to be doing something, yet loves to just cuddle and watch our shows because that's what I love to do. I love that he would support me in anything, no matter what it would be. He always asks me, if there is anything in the whole world you could do, what would it be? And when I tell him he says, "Then you need to do that, seriously quit your job and do it." I love that about him. I love how thankful he is, he is SO thankful! Anything I do, whether it be making dinner or folding his laundry he gets so excited and says "Thanks SAV! I'm so lucky to have you for a wife!" I love when he tells me he wouldn't be able to live without me and that I am the most important thing in his life. I love that he wants to have babies so bad, once he gets insurance? Anyway, I just LOVE THAT MAN SO MUCH! Sometime I just have to pinch myself to figure out if he's for real!??? He's amazing! Okay, you can all go throw up now, I just wanted to write it to add to my book at the end of the year! Pictures soon to come from Halloween.......!
