Our Spontaneous Road Trip

So this is our spontaneous road trip. Dave had to be out of his apartment by the 1st of Jan. He wanted us to ride with him with him so that he wouldn't be lonely. :) He lived in California so needless to say Truxton and I jumped at the chance to go up to California. So we left the day after Christmas and were on our way. The first two pictures it outside our hotel room in Fresno, California. It was so warm!!! I was able to walk around without a coat on in December!!! It was nice. The next two pictures are of the mission home where Tyler will be in Fresno, California. Our next stop was Tehachapi the cutest little town we went through. The windmills you see are just outside of Tehachapi they were all the way down the mountain side we figured that they use them to power their little town. :) Our next stop was LAS VEGAS!!!!! As soon as we got there we went straight to Circus Circus to have their wonderful hot dogs!!!! Our most favorite cheap, delicious hot dogs which in the picture it was Dave's first time having one he thoroughly enjoyed it. They are massive!!! Then we stopped by the new volcano show just outside the Mirage it was awesome!!!! Next the Flamingo where we went and saw the wildlife exhibit but when we went all the animals were asleep except for the Flamingos. It was a blast!!! We ended up leaving Las Vegas around 1 o' clock in the morning drove straight home to Grantsville. We got home at 8 o' clock that morning, we soon fell asleep as soon as we hit the pillows. It was a good 2 days well spent!!!!

Christmas 2009

Well as you can tell we had a great Christmas spending time with the families.  The first picture is at the Pierson Christmas party it was Truxton's and my first time going "hooding" Christmas Eve Bridgette got to open her present it was her Tinkerbell pajamas and slippers she absolutely loved them!!! Then she watched Cars with Grandpa till it was time for bed. Then Christmas morning everybody was anxiously waiting to open their presents. Bridgette got a Tinkerbell doll, then a baby doll playset, Trux got a razor and belts which he desperately needed, I got a cute Santa Claus decoration from my mom, Bridgette got a Tinkerbell bed sheet set, We got Dad ties to wear to work and church the one has red fish blue fish on it, it is an inside joke :) the other one it has a stethoscope on it. He loved them!!! Bridgette is also wrapped up in her new tie blanket I made for her. The look on mom's face can obviously tell you that she really enjoyed the gift that Trux & I got her, It is a animal print purse she has been looking for one forever. Then you have Bridgette with all her gifts that she has received. Anyways we had a great Christmas and felt the spirit so strong.

Best week ever!!!

So I have had the best week of my life......Well so far, LOL!!! We have spent the past 4 days with Zac and Allie Hannon they are the best people that have come into are lives. Truxton has a new video game buddy, he and Zac with stay up literally all night playing video games sometime it is just one video game that they play over and over. Recently it has been left for dead 2 on the xbox 360. Also I have Allie who is almost the exact replica of  me. We totally agree on most things we can talk about anything we are not shy about anything totally blunt. I love her to death!!! Also Bridgette loves her also, we went to the mall with them yesterday and she would get mad at Trux & I and go straight to Allie. Allie was the only one who could calm her down. I don't know what I would do here in Ephraim without Allie. She is the one that keeps me sane!!!Also at the mall Bridgette got to go and see Santa. She has been waiting all day yesterday to see him. We finally got in line and we were the next ones and she just couldn't wait she kept yelled "Santa" " Santa" so it was great fun. She loved Santa. I can't wait for Christmas and spend time with my family.

 

A Wonderful night!!!

On Saturday November 28th My Mother, Father, Husband, Tyler & Me went to the Manti Temple So that Tyler could get his endowments!!! Yeah I know I can't believe it either it has all gone by so fast. Pretty soon we will be going to take him to the MTC. So we went through the 5:30pm session my grandparents were able to be at that session. (They are temple workers) so it was nice to have them around. Then after the session we went out to eat. Then back home to spend sometime with the siblings. It was a great weekend!!! These are the pictures I took just after we got out of the temple.

It's beginning to look like Christmas!!!!

So we love Christmastime!! We always go all out, Truxton puts the lights up and Bridgette and I decorate the house. With our small apartment we had to do some rearranging cause we don't have enough room for the tree. :( But luckily my mother was around while we decided to put them up. I thought that having the decorations and the tree up with a 2yr old would be really difficult. Well once again Bridgette has proved me wrong, she doesn't touch any of them she just stares and says pretty. With our Christmas tree she will piont to every single one of the lights (that she can reach.) going pretty pretty. It is hilarious!!!!
