Long over due!

WOW! Where have the time gone? Next week is February and I haven't posted since December! So here's a quick update.

December:
-Cody and I spend Christmas at his parents and we had a blast! The grandkids were fun to watch open their presents Christmas morning, and boy did Santa Bring them a ton! Toys, Trucks, tools, cleaning toys and dollies.... you name it, one of them got it. But you know how the saying goes, its fun to see them come and good to see them go. I'm sure thats exactly how Cody's mom Carrie felt. We had a blast but were ready to get back to our quiet little house with no kids fighting over toys! We had a great Christmas!
-For New Years Eve we just kept it simple and went to diner and a movie. We didn't even stay up to see the New Year in. I remember waking up in the night and seeing that it was 12 am and I think I wished Cody a Happy New Years but then just fell back to sleep. (Yep We've fallen into the mode of an old married couple.)
We went and saw the Movie Blindside New Years Eve and I hightly recommend it. Its great and we can all learn a good lesson on service and helping others out! I'm not saying that I would take a big teenager into my home, but I might think of helping find a place... ha ha! I'm not quite to Sandra Bullock's level yet! After the movie, we were headed home and there were cop cars swarming the parking lot looking for something or someone. We pulled out of the parking lot and there were kids in handcuffs and there were more cops going through other parking lots and peoples back yards looking for someone. I was like, we could rob a bank tonight and not get caught because the cops are all around the movie house. I bet there were 12 cop cars there..... Just to make it clear, WE DID NOT ROB A BANK, we're still poor!

January:
-This last month has flown by and I can't really even remember when we did. Cody's work has gotten really busy and the Vision Clinic is pretty busy as well so we've just been working.
-We've been to aton of basketball games as well. Quincee is a junior this year and is playing varsity full time. And by full time I mean she never gets a break in the ball game, NO SUBS! Her team is doing pretty good this year and should be ranked higher but they're just lacking a little self confidence. Quincee rocks at three pointers! It's so fun to see her improve over the years.... lets just say her freshman year was a bit scary and I don't think she ever handled the ball with out traveling. GO LADY LONGHORNS! YOU CAN DO IT!
-Other than work and ball games we do nothing! Our weekends go too fast and we hate Mondays!

Februay:
-In February it will be two years since I met Cody. We're very lucky that we did meet.... Thanks Kit and Jenny! If it wasn't for a still small voice, prompting Cody to take a job in Vernal while he was working in Alaska, we would never have met. We are truely meant to be together and so greatful for every day!
-I look forward to Valentines because I love having a Valentine! Last year Cody gave me the cute picture of our names on the tree and I gleam everytime I see it.
-Coder's birthday is also this month! He's getting pretty old! ha ha, but you wouldn't know it. He still acts like a little kid!
-Also this month we're hoping to go to region wrestling, region girls basketball, state wrestling and state girls basketball. Go AHS! We're so good at supporting the teams we like to watch... ha ha!
-I'm also feeling a little crafty. After Christmas I was a bit crafted out, but I've had a month to rest and I'm ready to get my juices flowing.... So if you have any ideas, send them my way!

Thats about it! I can't think of anymore! Pictures to follow...
So Merry Late Christmas and Happy Late New Year. I hope everyone is in good health and enjoying 2010. I think our New Year will be great!

One year ago today!....

One Year ago today Cody proposed to me!
It was such a special night and I was completely surprised!

The man I love more than anything, giving me the most beautiful ring, with the perfect proposal equals the best night ever!

(to read how he proposed go to my #1 blog, it explains everything there!)

Love you Coder!

Birthday and Christmas!

A few Weeks ago it was my 23 birthday! I'm getting old! ha ha It was pretty much another normal day for me but Cody yet again surprised me with roses at work and then he bought me a shelf I have been wanting! I know I'm very spoiled!
I told Cody that the roses look so in place on our bedroom cabinet that he should bring me some weekly... he just laughed! ha ha


Merry early Christmas to everyone! I feel like it should still just be my birthday and not jsut a few days before Christmas.... But I'm very excited to head to Delta to spend some time with the inlaws.
For my birthday my wonderful mother-in-law sent me a ton of very cute western Christmas ornaments and I love them so so so much! So I had to take some pictures of our cute tree. You can't see the details very well but I love it!

It looks like its leaning a bit in the picture but I think its standing straight in our house.... PS I love our star... Its an EBAY special! ha ha



Cody's Friend Adam hand wood burnt this bulb last year. They're so awesome and he's so talented! We have moose, elk, deer, horse, geeese.... and so so many others but the wolf is my favorite!

Here's my old College Christmas tree. Its been through alot. It was actually my Great Grandma LaRue's tree and it was given to me because my grandmas always said, "Everyone should have a Christmas tree on Christmas!"

PS Leandra do you remember the quilt we made in Mrs. Fausett's class our senior year? Yep here's mine, My mom had it quilted up for our wedding and it looks great... other than all the mistakes I made! ha ha

Well everyone, have a very Merry Christmas and I hope see you I the new year! 2010 sounds pretty weird!
Happpy Christmas!

Thriller!

Thriller was so great this year! Two years ago my great friend Amanda talked me and all my college roommates into going to Thriller and it has kinda become a yearly event for me. So Last year I talked my Grandma and my mom into going to Thriller with me and they loved it, so this year we took my sisters Ashley and Quince and my cousin Rylan!

Three Things we learned:
#1 Quincee is a big scardy cat.
#2 Rylan is a big scardy cat.
#3 Ashley is a big scardy cat.

Everytime one of the creepy girlies came around they would hide or scream... Big Chickens! Just kidding, I did the same thing! They were envading my bubble!
I thought the pictures were pretty funny, so here prepare for a picture overload!













Rylan said, "Some of those girls needed a mint!"

Hunting

Like every year we go look for the big one and only find other hunters and baby bambi.......... But we always have tons of fun and enjoyed all our families.
This year we pulled our camper up to my Uncle Ray's camp site in Moon Lake and just chilled with the family.


My Grandpa Brent taking pictures. I snuck one of him! ha ha

Quincee in her hunting getup.... She looked pretty hot!
Grandpa Brent:"You know... you can see an hour later into the night when you wear these glasses."
Quincee: "Yeah I can see so much better, Too bad its light!"
Cody: " Yeah too bad its light out side so you can see with out them.... dang it!"
Just another little conversation where Quincee is always the center of all our jokes! We love you Quinc!


Quincee did get lucky and on the morning of the last day, she found this guy laying in my Grandpa's field and just dropped him there. She's pretty proud of him.

Elder Kjell Pehrson!

On October 10, Cody's little brother Kjell came home from his mission to Iowa and we had the privalige to see him at the airport and spend the weekend with the Pehrson Family. We had so much fun, we went to the Zoo, and then ate at the Rodizio Grill and then played all weekend with the family. I only got a few pictures but they're pretty fun!
I have such a goofy husband! But We love him!
Lexie and Cody, She loved the baby elephant! She would try to call the animals to her! Too Cute!

These little monkeys were so cute! There was so much love at the Zoo... If you know what I mean!?!

Miss Cutie Dakota and I on the Merry-Go-Round! She actually enjoyed it and we loved having playing with her. LOVE her hair!
This is Cody doing his bronc riding mark out on the merry go round. He's kinda crazy but I don't know what I'd do with out him!


So Welcome Home Elder Pehrson, and like the horrible picture taker I am, I forgot to get pictures of the person we were out there for! It was very nice meeting him and I'm sure he'll go on and do even greater things!
