Devin's BYU sad day...

We went to an NCAA basketball tournament at the Cardinal's Stadium. It started with Louisville and Kentucky I believe, then ASU vs. BYU.I'm not a fan of any, so I made my anti BYU, pro Utah signs...Cardinals know what is up with their red zone... here is my shout out for a perfect season! Go Utes!That night we bbq'd and watched the BYUvs. U of A game... lets just say, Ward went home happy, and Devin was left with a sad sad sad day of loss.

Dad and Max didn't seem to mind the winner or loser... they just had fun buildin!

Movie night

A rare occasion... getting my dad to go to the movies! We all got in the car and went to see the Boy in the Striped pajamas... wow... not the movie you want to go to a party after watching it! Lets just say that after, we went straight home and watched Elf to lift our spirits!

Mitchell gets her masters!

Yay for Mitchell! She got her masters... I am so proud of her. What a fun celebration day!

Nieces and Nephew Treat!

Since the turkey trot and the jingle jog were both rained out, Audrey and Max's school held a Jingle Jump. I had fun jump roping with Audrey... it had been a while!I got to sit in on Max's holiday party as he learned about Kwanza.Hannah's Christmas program at the Happy Apple Preschool was great. She was singin right along.Audrey performed with her children's choir at a church in Scottsdale. Their music was beautiful. Amazing what school age kids can do!After the concert we went to get some ice cream at SugarBowl in Scottsdale... so yummy. Aud and I shared a banana split!

My helpful sis

Mitchell was a kind sister and came up to Utah to help me with the drive back to Utah. After a stressful night of trying to decide what to do... we ended up waiting til blizzard Sat. to drive home... Perfect!The only good thing about that day was eating a yummy breakfast at Ruth's Diner up Emigration Canyon.Mitchell caught up with her friend and his fiance there.Then we were off... into the wintery of wintery misery land! It was a LoNg drive... boy was I glad to be home. My sis cruisin in front of me!

Ah... the sunset... Who knew I'd see it that day?!!!

no I'm not an ASU or BYU fan...

And I let everyone know it at their game at Cardinals stadium. I even made a pic in the paper! Too bad my camera case was covering my face! Oops! My second sign said you wish you were a Ute fan! I just had to make sure no one was confused!

Friends Forever

Some friends come and some friends go,

and some friends you'll just have forever ya know?!!

my days in Utah are few...

I only have a few days left in Utah, and so I thought, there would be no better way to soak it in, than to be in the beauty of my surroundings. It was pretty chilly... 17 degrees exactly, but well worth it. I had so much fun. I'm sad I won't be going more this year.

Jeffrey and I tuckered out

Look at speedy go! :)

showers showers are so fun, maybe one day, I'll have one!

I love getting together with friends and celebrating new endeavors in their lives... This time it was my dear friend Heather. Sara and I threw her the shower, had lots of yummy food, fun, and games!

The gang... mostly from hair school (Sara, Mel, Me, Heather, Karalee, and Tomi) and Jess as well!

is changing...

On Dec. 30th, I will be off to the Big Apple...

This will be my sweet ride

This will be my way about in the city .

There will be a little hand waving (but I'll be much cuter of course! ;) )

And I'll be doing cheers there with one of my bff's.

When life gets down, expect an up. My up is here. I will miss you all, but I'm only a plane away!
