Bringing on the New Year!!

I cannot believe its a new year already, and I can honestly say it was a beautiful year!..I met so many great friends and only focused on those who matter to us, and it really made for an awesome year!..We will be celebrating just the three of us again, which I'm exited for, we have plans to for little smokies, crescent rolls and our last little bit of binging on junk food before we make a resolution to have a year of clean eating and getting our sexxaay on!

But I cant forget to mention all the fun leading up to the new year!

A couple of days after Christmas (on my hubby's b-day) We headed down to Utah to celebrate and eventually gather with family to celebrate Wil's grandparents 50th wedding anniversary! absolutely amazing!..They are such great people and we all celebrated over a delicious lunch at T.G.I.F I was a first timer, and i can honestly say i was impressed! We were then going to go back with Wil's grandparents to their home  in Nephi, but then made the decision to go back home and spend the next couple days as a little family before Wil needed to go back to work.

My little boopie..and well hello Daniel back there ;)....

Shortly after leaving the lunch i told Wil I really wanted to go to City Creek Mall, I have heard so much about it, plus i really wanted to go to MAC because it's not an easy store to go to and find in this area! upon arriving  at Mac I pretty much knew what I wanted but in the back of my head i wanted one of the artist to put red lipstick on me! I was about to disregard that but then a tall lady came up to me with bright red hair and bright red lipstick that looked fabulous, I decided to go for it, because I had the feeling she knew what she was talking about ;) So here it is..

Do I pull it off? lol

I absolutely love it! so I had to buy the color! maybe a new look for 2013?

So after leaving Nordstroms l really wanted to visit some of my family on the way back home, so I called my mom and asked if she knew if they were available. Turns out they were on their way to Salt lake and we just so happened to be leaving!..So i called my cousin who I saw only once this year, and turns out we were by the same exit!!..It was meant to be!..So we pulled off and took the EXIT to Centerville were they just so happened to have a delicious In N Out Burger for us to meet at!..I was ecstatic!.. i Love seeing members of my family!..It was a little Reunion!..but it was so fun to be able to visit for the short amount of time that we did, and thankfully my little stinker child was in a splendid mood!

She just so happens to ROCK awesome red lips too! and we look HOT!

LOVE these ladies!! 

So our little Utah trip was so much fun! I'm glad it happened! I'm glad the world didn't end and I can look forward to another amazing year with all the wonderful people in my life! and continue to love upon my little boy who is turning 2 in less then a month!..well now i guess its time to have another one then!..jk that definitely wont be happening in 2013! LOL We got our gym memberships for Christmas and I plan on making a resolution of getting in shape, along with Wil and some other goals as well... and I assume Landon's would be to stop crapping his pants and get potty trained ;) jk Landon  plans to make more friends and melt the hearts of those he comes in contact with! :D

Good Bye 2012.....

It's Christmas Time!!!

So I have just come to the realization that it has been FOREVER since i have written in my blog! and i figured now would be the perfect time to do it! The end of the year is my favorite time of the year!..it's so festive and family oriented, i couldn't love it anymore! I had mentioned a lil bit on FB about how this is going to be our first Christmas as a  just our little family this year!! I'm way exited!!..We have so many fun plans together!..although it is going to be weird not being around tons of family on Christmas, but that's okay! I'm thankful for the many years that i got to spend surrounded with a bunch of family! and now its time to start making new traditions!

We started off the winter festivities by taking cute pictures in Salmon, I used this one for our Christmas card this year along with others from fall!..I wanted to make sure our cards looked extra festive this year!..it was even snowing when the picture was taken!!

 

Speaking of our Christmas card!..here it is!..I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!! I think I will use Etsy more often!!..which by the way is a new found obsession!..even had to download the app because I'm contantly browsing it;)

Bridge look familiar? Because its the same one used in our fall pics!..So fun!

One thing that has been very unique to me this time of year is making crafts!..i think i found another new obsession!!..I LOVE doing crafts!..which is a complete surprise to me because that was something i sucked at growing up!..But this year i gave them a shot and everything clicked for me! I have so many more ideas for this next year and more holidays to come!

See not to bad for a rookie! ;) 

So although we will not be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas with the rest of the family we did get to see them! almost in the same weekend too!

This was Christmas at my parents house in Salmon! We had so much fun!..We were able to get all my siblings under one roof!

Then less then a day later we made it back to IF and woke up to Wills parents coming to visit us!..Landon got lots of nice presents from them too!!

But they were only able to visit for a short time, but they left my brother in law Daniel with us!

Sure love this guy! he is an amazing person from the inside out!

He even helped me make some Christmas treats!!

We  had so much fun in the short amount of time he got to spend with us!..I'm so grateful for the family I have and the family i married in to!..I'm constantly surrounded by amazing people, even though we don't get to see them all the time, we always make the best of it when we are together!. and i couldn't be happier!..I cant wait for Wil to get off so we can enjoy the Holiday's as a little family! We have plans to open our gifts from "Santa's Elf" tonight, drink Peppermint Hot chocolate and watch non stop Christmas movies! I'm sure the same goes for tomorrow as far as the hot chocolate and movies, we plan to have a little feast and of course see what Santa has for us tomorrow morning!.. And then shortly after Christmas we will be celebrating Wil's birthday and visiting more family in Utah and possibly going to go see the lights at Temple square, if they are still up, because this year we were not able to go see them before Christmas but that's okay as long as we get to do it spending time as a family..because that's what its all about.....
