Christmas Eve and Christmas day!

Christmas morning we had to rush downstairs because Collin was already downstairs trying to rip open his presents. It was so fun to be with everyone and to see what Santa had brought. Jon and I dressed up Cooper and Maverick in Santa outfits and they looked so cute. Jon got me a wii since I won't play his x-box with him and he got me some winter boots I badly needed especially since it snowed a ton in Utah while we were gone. I also got a cute baby bag I got Jon some new close and my parents were so kind and got us a video camera. I was really wanting one since the baby is coming soon. I also got a really neat picture frame from my mom that shows the pictures of all the women leading up to me six generations. We finished opening gifts and had a delicious breakfast. After that we set up all the toys for the kids and started playing the wii. Thanks mom and dad for such a fun time.


















On Christmas Afternoon we went to my grandma and Grandpa Curtis's for lunch. We had delicious food once again and it was fun to see my cousins and relatives again. Jon and the boys mostly watched sports while the girls visited. My grandma had us play a fun guessing game and we won prizes. After that my family went back to my house and played Rock band on the wii and Mario cart. The boys went to go watch Valkyrie at night while the rest of us stayed back at home and relaxed. It was the perfect end to a nice Christmas day.







On Christmas Eve day we got together with everyone and opened presents from eachother. It was so funny because Jon wrapped Ambers gift in a Victoria's Secret box and her face turned red when she was unwrapping her gift. She was relieved to see that it was a cute hat instead of something else. I got an apron from Tyler and Jon got a nice shirt from Chad. That night We went and saw The Christmas lights at the temple. We got there just in time to see the christmas program that was put on. It was so nice to see them and nativity displays from around the world. When we got back we got the kids to bed and then the adults stayed up and visited.

Pre- Christmas events 2008

The Tuesday before Christmas We had a Mexican fiesta celebration with my dads side of the family at my aunt Dianes house. Jon said it was like having unlimited Costa Vida. To say the least it was delicious. We had tons of fun visiting with relatives and again we got to have Santa grace us with his presence. It was so cute to see all the kids and Grandpa West sit on santa's lap.













Here are some random pictures I captured. My mom and Annabelle by the piano, Collin and Annabelle playing by the christmas tree, Kevins girlfriend lindsey, and Kyle's girlfriend kelsee doing my hair before family pictures,My mom with rex, My mom and the three little wild boys.







We had a delicious pre christmas breakfast over at my Grandpa West's house with all my relatives. It was so fun seeing everyone and Santa Clause even came! He was the best impersonator I had ever seen and he was so good with the kids. Collin, Heidi, and I made a Ginger bread house that night. I took so many pictures but here are just a few.

24th Birthday

Dec. 11 I turned the big 24! Yikes I am getting up there(: No just kidding but it does seem like just yesterday I was 19. Time is flying by. Jon Spoiled me by getting me a day at the Spa. I have never felt so important. They pamper you like crazy when your there but I guess thats kind of the point(: Before I went to the spa Jon and I went to lunch at this really cute place that has italian, russian , greek type foods. It was delicious. After that I went to the spa. I got a mama mia maternity massage for two hours, then I got the body smoothie where they exfoliate your skin and then rub this really yummy lotion on it to make it extra soft. Next I got a relaxing pedicure and while I was getting my pedicure they brought me this large yummy cupcake. It was such a fun time and I would definately recommend this place to everyone. Jon came and picked me up then we went home and I opened gifts from Jon and my parents. It was funny because Jon got me new running shoes and my parents also got me several pairs of shoes. I also got a scarf and mittens from my brother Kevin. Jon got me a really cute apron too because he says I am always spilling. After that we ordered my favorite pizza ( Two Jacks ) and then the boys (kevin and Jon)sang happy b-day to me. It was such a nice relaxing day. Thanks to everyone that made it so special! ( Phone calls, cards, texts ect.)

Snow Storm!

I just thought I would post a few pics of our first big snow storm this season. It started snowin this morning and it hasn't stopped. It's almost a straight white out outside. The dogs are having a blast running around in it and chasing eachother. The only bad thing is that I just cleaned my floors. Oh well (: Hope everyone is having a great day. I think I will stay inside today and stay warm!

Fun Drive

Jon and I took the dogs up the Canyon by our house for a fun drive. It is awesome having such beautiful places so close by that we can visit. We got out and walked around as well.The dogs love the great outdoors especially Cooper. Jon started throwing rocks at the ice in the stream. Cooper saw this and tried to follow him over some logs but he fell through some ice and got all wet. It was kind of sad but also funny.

Thanksgiving in Canada

Jon and I spent a week up in Canada visiting family. It was so good to see everyone and we had so much fun. We went up to Waterton National park with Jons sister Jen and her son Noah and had a picnic. It was so windy that we mostly ate in the car but thats ok because it was so beautiful up there. Everywhere you look there is a beautiful view and lots of cool animal life. Jon helped his mom with scuba lessons one day. It was funny to see him work with 26 teenagers in a pool. I got together with some of my sister inlaws and did a fun christmas craft. Later that day we had a delicious dinner and took family pictures. That night Jon had fun building a fire and we roasted hotdogs for dinner and smores for dessert. Yummy! Thanks everyone for the great time.
