Grandma Phyllis 1913-2010

I am sad to say that on Monday February 1, 2010 Kevin's Great Grandmother passed away. She would have been 97 on Februaury 10th. She was a wonderful and sweet woman and I am so happy that I was able to get to know her over the years that I have been with Kevin. She will be greatly missed, but we are happy that she is at peace and out of pain. We love you Grandma Phyllis!

A Birthday, Thanksgiving, Family Fun and Babysitting

Kevin and I had a great and fun filled Thanksgiving week! It started off with Kevin's birthday on Tuesday the 24th. I had to be to work early so I woke him up at about 4:45 in the morning to give him his gifts... kind of mean, but I knew that neither of us could/wanted to wait until later that night. I (along with my parents and grandma) got him a Benelli Super Nova. For those of you who are like me and do not speak "gun" the Super Nova is a pretty cool shot gun. I also got him a new hoodie. We also went out to dinner at The Fortune Cookie, a really good little Chinese place. From where I stood he had a pretty good birthday, and Kevin tells me that he did. Happy 24th birhday babe!!!

This year for Thanksgiving we were up in Heber with my family. It was our year to get together with my Mom's extended family. We rented a church and had about 65 people there. We had some great food and it was great to catch up with a lot of family that we don't get to see that often. After we ate and all the tables and chairs were cleaned up all the kids (including Kevin, Tyson and Heather) played a very physical game of dodge ball. I am so surprised that none of the little kids got knocked out after gettign hit with some really fast/hard balls. It was a pretty great day!
Friday we went shooting. Kevin had a great time shooting his new gun and Spencer McCall and Garrett did a great job! I had fun launching the clay piceons for them to shoot at. It was a pretty great day!

Saturday was fun as well. Of course we watched the BYU/Utah game... GO COUGARS!!! I am so happy that they were able to pull off the win! Kevin, however, was not so happy. Looking on the brightside for both situations, we made it through another rivalry game without killing each other, and that is definitely something that we can all be excited about! Saturday night Kevin and I were able to watch Emry. We got to play with her, feed her, change her and even put her to bed... I think that the practice we get with Emry will really help us out some day when we have a baby of our own. Emry is such a cute and happy baby, we love her so much and jump at any chance we get to see her!

All in all we had a great Thanksgiving break! Can't believe that Christmas is just arround the corner, this year has gone by so fast! We want all of you to know that we are thankful to have you in our lives and hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving!

It's Been Forever!!!

WOW! I really can't believe how long it's been since I blogged last! I guess if you don't really have anything to say then there is really no reason to blog! :) I have just been really busy with school and the usual life issues that I deal with on a daily basis. We are doing great. We had a fun Halloween weekend, starting with the great "Grundeland Party" on Friday night. On Halloween day we went and saw "THIS IS IT!" the Michael Jackson movie. It was a good show and gave a small glimpse of how awesome the concert would have been. After the movie we headed up to Heber to spend the rest of the night with my family. We had a really good weekend!

Hope everyone is doing well and I hope that I can stay on top of things better and actually get to blogging again! But who knows... this is ME we are talking about!

Watching Little Miss Mae

Last week Jess called me and asked if I could watch Emry while she went to the dentist... Of course I said yes and was so excited to spend some time playing with my favorite baby girl... BUT seeing as Little Miss Mae has an agenda all her own, this is what she did the ENTIRE TIME I was there to watch her! Ha just my luck :) but isn't she cute while she sleeps?!?!

Any Ideas?

Hello everyone! Yes we are still alive... I have just been a huge slacker on posting! Not a whole lot going on with us, just work and getting ready to go back to school. Kevin recently had his very last doctor's appointment for his leg. He is now fully healed for the most part. Now it is time to start looking into the possibility of getting the 2 screws taken out. As for me I have just been working... Not sure what to do about the whole job thing. As the kids that I watch get older I have started wondering how much longer my job will go on. I am thinking that I need to start looking into new job opportunities. The only thing that I worry about is that being a nanny for almost 3 years has not given me much to brag about on a resume!!! SO I have decided to open my dillema to all my faithful friends (meaning you!!!) Does anyone have any ideas for me??? If so PLEASE let me know!

And I'm Off!!!

Tomorrow night I will be getting on a plane and heading to the BIG APPLE!!! My little sister McCall has a dance convention so I am going to keep my Mom company while Call is in all of her classes. I am very excited to be going, BUT I am also sad at the same time... this will be the longest that Kevin and I have been apart in our short 9 and a half months of marriage. He is excited for me to get away and have a break from crazy life and work, and he ensures me that he will be fine but I am still sad to be leaving him. I mean it's not like I will be gone for just a couple of days, I won't be back until next Saturday. So anyone reading this, and who has the time and his number, please check in on my poor husband! Remind him that there are prepared meals in the freezer and all he has to do is follow the directions written on top! :) And remind him that I will MISS HIM SO MUCH!

Vegas!!!

We went to Las Vegas last weekend for Dan and Marti's wedding, and a little bit of a vacation! We had a really great time... It was great to get out of town and have a little break! We stayed at the Luxor Hotel, it was pretty nice, we just had to walk pretty far to get to some things. Here are a bunch of pictures from our very fun, but much too short trip.

We went to Fremont Street on Friday night. They had a really cool light show and lots of good music.

Me and the airheaded Yellow M&M

Kevin with the sexy, Green M&M.

At the M&M Megastore they had this background of Vegas...

Me with the giant Egyptian guy that was at the entrance of our hotel.

One of our taxi rides. This was the first time that I had ever been in a taxi... Let me tell you these drivers DO NOT mess around! You tell them where to go and THEY GO!!! Brett is up in the front, he recently broke his foot and got to be pushed everywhere in a wheel chair... or as we called it, his stroller!!!

Kevin and me at the wedding. It was held in a really pretty garden, next to a beautiful lake. It was a beautiful day and the wedding turned out great!

The girls and the bride... Erin, Jamee, Megan, Marti, Jamie and Cassidy

The boys and the groom... Marcus, Kevin, Brian, Dan, Brett and Brandon

This guy was pretty cool to watch... All painted up with silver paint.

The famous Margaritaville nachos

On the way home... He had so much fun and was so tired!!! :)
