Trey's Blessing

This past weekend, we headed down to St. George to go to Trey's blessing (Eric and Brittany Jensen's baby). It was such nice weather and we definitely enjoyed the small break from the cold! We love hanging out with Britt and Eric and we LOVED going to Dogfather's :) Yum!
Here's Pete with Trey on his blessing day. Isn't he just a natural? Going to be such a great dad!


This little doll is Parx. She got to come over to play with Katie and Chris a few times while we were there. We love Chris and Katie, they're so fun, but we instantly fell in love with Parx. So cute and sweet :)

After sleeping on an air mattress and staying up all night, I took a little nap. Britt luckily lent me her new little guy to get my "baby fix" so we both fell asleep on the couch while Britt hurried to clean up a little before everyone came over for the blessing. Such a cuddler!

Happy Monday December 8th!

So the weekend went by in a blur what else is new? I had the best run I have ever had and it’s odd because it was biting cold 22 degrees outside with a wicked wind, guess I was running fast because I was cold! But I did 5 miles in 51:14 that is 10:15 a mile not to bad. Hopefully I can do that on Sunday when I race in my final race of the season the Jingle Bell 10K in Washington DC.

Saturday we took the kids to Jackson’s preschool to have Breakfast with Santa what a huge hit and it got me out of having to fight the families at the mall to see the man in red. So of course since their Santa sighting they are on the Christmas countdown every time they see something on TV they want they say I am going to put that on my list! My thought is it’s too late because you saw Santa already! But I keep that thought to myself; go ahead say it I’m an evil mom!

Saturday night brought snow to our house nothing major just a wee dusting but it was pretty to look at and even more fun watching the snow fall while sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub!

The hubby is now walking thank goodness!!!!! I was afraid if another week went by I was going to lose my mind. He has been a huge help, folding laundry and cooking dinner. I am the luckiest woman in the world to have him as my partner in life!

Thanks for all the kind comments on our Christmas decorations, I am looking forward to seeing everybody’s soon.

Up coming topics this week:
I am sorry what did you say?
I need a wife or a secretary!
I’m a narcissist, help me!



So I still have not gotten caught up on the blogs I missed over Thanksgiving and sadly my reader reads some absurd number like 452, I am trying to get through them all but I am think I am fighting a losing battle. So even if I don’t comment I really am still reading trust me!

Are you ready for Christmas?

I think I am but inevitably every year I end up running around at the last minute looking for gifts for those that I have forgotten. This year I bought a lot online as well as shopped throughout the year. So now my guest bedroom looks like a warehouse with all the boxes and piles I have everywhere.

When we arrived home Friday from NY I was like a woman possessed and I stay up till all the trees and all of the house decorations were done...OK I didn’t do the outside lights since it was so late and it was still technically November :)

I must say that when I came downstairs Saturday morning it was rather heart warming to see all the decorations up it put me in the Christmas mood. So here is a little taste of what my house looks like over the holidays. (i couldn't get the picture of the kids tree) What about yours? Care to share some photos? I would love to see all the different types of decorations used by people. So here’s your homework go write a post about your Christmas Decorations. Go on get going!
