Ashley's 21st Bday

My good friend Ashley turned 21!! To celebrate her family planned dinner at La Costa and bowling afterwards. She had a big turn out for dinner, most of her dad's side of the family was there as well as some of her husbands family. A lot of her friends showed up as well. I didn't end up going bowling afterwards but here we are at dinner celebrating. :) Happy Birthday Girl!

Monster Truck Show

Randy & Cindy took the family to see the Monster Truck Show Saturday night. It was a pretty fun night :) We had great seats and everyone was a lot of fun! I brought Adam, Kayli came as well as my little sister. Carter brought a friend and then Randy's son Matt and his wife and kids came as well. The Maverick monster truck was the winner! So one thing that i really like about the Monster Truck show is the fans... There are some serious fans... they make it so much more fun! haha the people a couple rows ahead of us were crackin us up!
Thanks guys! It was a lot of fun!

LDS

I had a great Saturday.... I got baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ... that's right I am now a Mormon and couldn't be happier. :) I just want to say thank you to my family and friends that have supported me in this and never left my side. It was defiantly a journey getting to this point and this is just the beginning. :)

Just a little note...

I was looking at some pictures today and ran across some I took of Cordell and Julian while I was watching them a couple weeks ago... I just wanted to say that I love these boys like real little brothers... I always have a great time with them and I am always grateful to have them in my life. :)

Here they are playing basketball.... I beat Cord once! He was way to good for me... Julian did so good too!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all my family and friends had a very blessed, wonderful, safe and memorable Christmas this year! I had an amazing Christmas. I started Christmas morning off at my dad's house with my little sister, my mom and dad. I think we all had a great Christmas- Thank you Mom, Dad and Michaela for the great gifts- I love you guys and was so happy to see you Christmas morning.

I went to Cindy and Randy's as well Christmas morning. Kayli, Blake & Val, Carter and Sky were all there... I think we can all agree that we had a great Christmas there too! Thank you so much everyone for all the great things you got me... I feel so blessed to have you as my family. After everyone was done opening presents we made breakfast as a family and relaxed a little. Later that day I met up with Adam, he took me to meet his mom and step dad, his mom was so cute and pretty funny in her own way. Thank you so much Adam for letting me meet you mom. :) Later that day Adam and I went to the movies to see Tron with two of his brothers. Its their tradition to go see a movie Christmas day. It was great to meet more of Adam's family :) Adam thank you so much for all you got me! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

This year I spent my Christmas eve with some very important, special and great people. I started my day off by finishing up some last minute shopping with Kayli. We had fun getting ready in the morning together, grabbing lunch that afternoon together and then shopping! We haven't done that for sometime so it was really nice to be able to do that. When Kayli and I were done I met up with Adam to run some errands and get some gifts. We headed to Donna's moms for Christmas eve dinner... early dinner- It was the first time Adam was going to meet the Nelson family, we didn't spend much time there but we were able to help set the table and mingle a little bit. They loved him of course!After Donna's we went to Randy and Cindy's for dinner... it was wonderful of course. All of Cindy's kids were there and two of Randy's were able to make it. We had a great time hanging out, eating and opening some gifts. I was really so grateful and happy to be able to spend my Christmas eve with the Nelson Family, Kayli and her brothers & sister in law, the Mellor's and Adam. Everyone means so much to me and I love you all dearly! Thank you for making me apart of your Christmas this year. :)

Let's make some candy!

Cindy has started a new tradition that every year the night before Christmas Eve we all get together as a family and make candy! This was our first year doing it and it was so much fun! Everyone was there, Skylar, Blake and Valerie, Kayli, Adam and I, Carter and Randy's son Matt and his wife Shantay and their three kids, Tasha, Talia and Jonas.... One big happy family! :) We made suckers, carmel, chocolate covered rice crispy treats, turtles and so much more. It was a great time and I think a great new tradition. Thanks mama Cindy!

The family all together making candy :)
