Three Things

List three things you enjoyed doing this week.

 

Davies family Christmas party. Its been years since I last went to one, and it was great seeing aunts and uncles, cousins, and other family members. Even if half of them didn't recognize me. It was great seeing them.

 

Coloring with Aidan and making gingerbread houses with the family.

 

Working all day with only two other people. Oh wait, that wasn't quite so fun.

The Sounds

List the sounds you are hearing right now.

 

Since I'm in Cokeville with my family I've been hearing...

 

Shari yelling at the kids
Lilli and one of the boys crying
Macey and Sid running around trying to find people to play with
Kenz or Kennan playing the piano

 

...it's good to be home

The Weather

Describe today's weather.
{2012}

 

Like every typical Utah November, it's been cold. Not much snow yet, but it's for sure getting colder. I'm not so sure my body can handle it...

 

Photo: Month of Gratitude Day 8. I'm grateful for my baby brother Kennan. He is so sweet, kind, thoughtful, and super talent (both musically and athletically...I mean do you see that text he sent today? Awesome! I'm so proud of him.) Ever since he was little I've loved having him close by, and even though he doesn't cuddle with any of us sisters anymore, he's always good for a hug, and not too embarrassed to ask his big sis to dance. I'm sad I haven't been around much as he has grown up, but I love seeing him accomplish so many great things. Our family wouldn't be complete without him, and I'm grateful to have him as my brother. Love ya Kennan!

 

Marriage!

Just a little about today...no prompt.

My little sister got married today...Kinda crazy! I still think she's the little 8 year old I remember her as. But I guess we've got to grow up sometime. Anyway. her reception was last night, so I got off work early and headed up with Brady. Shari, Ben and their kids were there, and Kandyce, Clay and Liam were there too, so I got to see the kiddos. Alex was a grump and kept giving me the stink eye, but Aidan and Lilli were super excited to see me (even if Lilli did call me Brittney). But when I first got there, Shari, Kandyce and I showed Kenz what we got her for her wedding night. Lots of fun stuff! Then we all just kind of laid low for a while.

I took Kenz and Kyler in a little before the reception to take a few pictures. I'll have to get them from my mom and dad, because I think they turned out super cute. Then we headed to the reception. It was good to see a lot of the Cokeville people that I don't see as much any more (Boyers, Birches, etc!) plus family (Grandma, Uncle Don, Uncle Stan, Trevor & baby Chloe, Michaela, etc). It was just a lot of fun seeing and talking to people, and cuddling with my cute niece and nephews.

I came back to Logan that night with Kandyce & Clay who were staying in Wellsville so we didn't have to wake up early and fight for showers. The wedding was at the Logan temple at noon, so I got to sleep in a bit. The wedding was really nice, and even though it was weird seeing my baby sis kiss her groom over the alter, I'm really happy for them. Kyler is a super nice guy, and they make each other happy.

It was also great seeing even more family and friends at the temple -- Aunt Kathy & Heather, Aunt Laurel, Aunt Pat, Haley, Cassidy, and Emily, Aunt Korena & Savannah (holy gorgeousness!), Aunt Gayle & Uncle Robert, Aunt Meg & Uncle Larry, and I'm sorry if I forget anyone! It makes me excited for the next wedding, where hopefully I'll get to see more friends & family.

Anyway, I'll maybe post more about the wedding later, and when I have some pics to show. But it was a beautiful day, and I'm very happy for my sis and new brother! Love you guys!

Here are some pics that our friend Karla took at the reception. Yes, they are all of me...but it's my blog! Deal with it! :)

She hung onto me quite a bit over the weekend. I didn't mind too much...Love my little Lilli Bug.

I kinda really want that camera.

Playing peek-a-boo.

Giving baby Liam kisses...I love his ears poking out...He's such a cutie.

Talking with one of my favorite women. She is such a beautiful lady, inside and out.

Okay...here's one of the cute couple. Yes he is a cowboy...and is about a foot taller than McKenzie. We still think he's great! ;)

Last Vacay

When was your last vacation? Where did you go?

I’m not sure I’d really consider it a ‘vacation’ but I did go to Vegas December 27-30. We went and stayed at my sister-in-law’s house. Greg, Robert and I went out to the Hoover Dam one day and walked across the crazy huge bridge. Then we were able to spend one night out on the town with Mike and Juanita. Always good people watching times. It was a bit chilly, probably the coldest I’ve experienced down there, but fun times anyway. It was a bit crazy considering it was so close to New Year’s Eve, but fun anyway. That was the most recent ‘vacation’ we’ve been on.
