Happy Birthday!

It's Gavin's Birthday today and I wanted to wish him a happy one! He is a great Dad and Husband. I know I don't tell him enough how much I appreciate him, but I do. I can't believe we have been married for 9 1/2 years. Last week we took the kids to the temple and as we were walking around the temple we realized that it was almost 10 years to the day that Gavin proposed to me there. On December 17, 1999 our lives change forever and what a awesome change it has been. I couldn't ask for a better partner to walk through life with. I don't know what I would do without him, he is my rock.

Gavin, I hope you have a great day! Happy Birthday!

Wishing You a Very Merry..

Rodeo Time

One of the best parts about the months of December is watching the NFR. We were lucky enough to go with my parents one night and take the boys another. Thanks mom and dad, it was so fun!! The night we took the boys, Cam Terry came along and had a great time. During the Grand Entry Tuff Cooper motioned for Preston to come down to the front and he handed him a pink rope. It was tough enough to wear pink night, that is why they were throwing out ropes. It totally stole the hearts of all the people around us. From then on they were buying us peanuts, taking our picture, and checking on us throughout the rodeo. We let the three boys sit on the front row during the bull riding and they were in heaven. It was a great night. I got to hang out with four dang cute cowboys and it doesn't get much better than that!

Vegas Baby!

On the 5th we took a spur of the moment trip to Vegas with the Terry's! It was a blast. We shopped, ate and shopped some more! The guys got a little tired of the shopping and found a football game to watch while we finished. It was a much needed break for Gavin and I. It was so nice to laugh and visit with Dave and Gretchen without the interruptions we usually have. I stole these picture off Gretchen's blog (Thanks Gretch! Can't wait to go again!)

Finally Caught up!

It took me a couple days to catch up on this blog of mine! The month of November seemed to have been put into overdrive! I am sorry things got a little out of order, but at least it is posted. I know that December will have a lot of pictures. I figured if I don't catch up now, it might become hopeless!

The big reason why my blog took a back seat is because I have had the opportunity to start making digital scrapbook supplies! It has been the best creative outlet that I have had in a very long time. I actually made a few of the frames you are now seeing on my blog, and many more will come! It has been a big learning curve, but I am starting to feel like I can create just about anything. I am selling my elements at dscrappro.com. The site has only been up for about 3 weeks, but the designers are putting new products on daily. The official opening will be in a week or two, but for now everything in the store is on sale. All the sale prices will go after Christmas, so you might want to go check it out!

The Thanksgiving frame and the Polaroid Frame (Last trip to the Park...) I have on here are free, so what are you waiting for? You have nothing to lose... Hurray go check it out!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we were able to spend the day at Dennis' home with Grandpa and Grandma Frei. It was a real treat to have Grandma make her Chicken Noodle Soup. The noodles are SO good. I am truley grateful for Grandma Frei in my life, she had taught me how to make jam, bottle fruit, make applesauce and I have even "attempted" her noodles. They just didn't taste as good! She calls me all the time to make sure my fridge is stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables from Grandma's garden, and to check on the kids. Sitting with them at the Thanksgiving Dinner table really was an honor.

After dinner Bradi, Aubrey and I scoured the ads to find all the deals, we made a game plan to set out for Target at 2:30 the next morning. When we got to the Target parking lot at 3:00 am! I couldn't believe how many people were already there. Susan, Bradi and I (Aubrey chickened out, but we still love her!) stood outside in the cold waiting for the doors to open at 5:00 am. By the time the store was about to open it was crazy how many people were there. I ended up with everything I had wanted and only had to wait in the checkout line for 1 HOUR and 12 MINUTES. AAAuUGG! I did save $100 dollars so it was worth it. I had a great time, and will be there next year I am sure! It's all about the memories. :)

PS Can you believe I don't have ONE picture of myself on Thanksgiving? I am vowing today to pass the camera at least once during Christmas!

Football Champs!

Last year the ending to our Flag football season didn't work out quite as good as this year! If you would like to read about that click here. I personally like this years story a lot better! Both the Chargers (Preston) and the Patriots (Landon) made it to the Championship game! Which was no easy task, they had to play great teams to even get there. Then it was the morning of the Championship! Everyone was nervous and excited. The Chargers played their best game and took home the trophy! Then the Patriots took the field and played awesome too! I was a very proud Mama that day. It was a fun way to end a great season. Way to go Coach Gav! (I was a really proud Wife too.) Good Times, Good Times!!
