Christmas Season

This Christmas season has been so much fun. We have done a lot of things. Lets see, we've had two weddings and three christmas parties to go to. We've also gone to Idaho (where we still are at the moment) and celebrated a birthday. We have been having a lot of fun together!

We don't have any pictures from the weddings unfortunately or one of the Christmas parties. We went to Justin's work Christmas party on the Friday before Christmas. It was at the Grand America and we enjoyed dinner and a show. They had Kurt Bestor (sorry, don't know how to spell his last name) come and perform. At the end we got a gift basket that had his CD in there along with a movie, hot chocolate and some popcorn. We dressed up for the party but I don't have the pictures with me so I will post those later.

We had my family Christmas party the Sunday before Christmas. That was at my Uncle Eric's house. It was a lot of fun also. It took us a little while to find it because I've never driven up there and Justin has never been there before so it was an adventure to find it. We enjoyed our families company. They had a taco bar for dinner and for dessert we had chocolates, cake and cookies. Yummy! After dessert we had our white elephant exchange. It was a lot of fun. Justin and I were "stealing" other gifts from people when we were able to. We were battling over some glasses and a drink, and a neck massager. We ended up going home with some towels and a pampered chef strainer thing. We had a lot of fun listening to the talent show also. I didn't take a lot of pictures but I will get them from my sister so I can post them. She got some pretty funny ones.

For Christmas we came up to Idaho and spent it with Justin's sister and her family. We came up on Wednesday and we aren't going home until Sunday. We have had a lot of fun up here playing games and enjoying each others company. We also celebrated his Mom's Birthday! (Happy Birthday!) It was fun watching Justin's nephews get up and open up their Christmas gifts. They were so excited with everything they recieved. We loved everything we got also! Thank you everyone! We still have a couple more things that we are going to do today but we got back from going shopping already. We are going to go and see The Blindside with his sister and her husband and then everyone is going to go to dinner at this pizza place. I'm going to backtrack for a sec. On Christmas Eve, Justin's sister and her family did a nativity scene for everyone which was really cute. We listened to the story of the Night Before Christmas and also the story of Mary and Joseph. It was a wonderful evening. We stayed here on Christmas and I called my family to wish them all a Merry Christmas. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Season and we hope that next year is just the same.

Stacey has been in town for a little while and it has been so much fun visiting with her and playing with Alex. We have been enjoying each others company. I need to take some pictures of everyone together.

I have some pictures with me but I will have another post that has all the pictures. I hope you all enjoy!

So here are some pictures from Labor Day that I took and some pictures from Justin and I's photo class. Enjoy. Justin's are the first 5 and mine are the last 6

Not Much

Not much is happening right now with us. We just started school again last week and so far it hasn't been too bad. We are both taking programming, photography, and an online course. Justin is also taking psychology. We are having fun staying at home and being with each other. We visit a lot with family and eat a lot of their food! It was really nice to have the summer off without having to worry about finishing a paper or cramming for a test. We hope all is well with everyone else!

GOOP!

Every couple years the girls on my Mom's side of the family get together and party. GOOP stands for Girls Only Out Partying! Before I went to GOOP, Justin, Jordan and I went to their work party in Park City. We were able to go on the apline slide and alpine coaster as many times as we wanted. Unfortunately it started raining when we got up there so we were only able to do the alpine coaster. We had a blast! After that I went to GOOP.

We had GOOP at my parents house. Friday night we watched movies and played games and talked until we all decided to go to bed. I got a surprise in the middle of the night and it was Justin calling me and then showing me that he shaved! :) (Him and Jordan were seeing how long their hair would get if they didn't shave for three months. They called a truce and they both shaved!). On Saturday we pampered ourselves. We had massages and facials and we gave ourselves manicures and pedicures. Here are some pictures of the fun!

Just hanging out. Candice is getting her toes done.

After we were done pampering ourselves we all went to the living planet aquarium. Here are some of the pictures I took of the aquarium. The fish were awesome! We enjoyed going there and exploring all different creatures of the sea.

That is most of our trip. I will add more pictures when I get them from my mom. I had a lot of fun! I can't wait to do it again in a couple of years.

Its been awhile

It's been a while since I've really updated but let me go through what has happened the past little while.

We went to Idaho to watch Heidi's third be blessed. He is so cute and we enjoyed being there. That was the first time we have seen their new house. We had a long drive there because we went up after work. I enjoyed taking pictures of the scenery while Justin drove. It was pretty good weather on our way up there even though the clouds were threatening to rain on us.

O thought it was fun to eat all of the salsa when we went out to dinner.

Cute family!

I thought this was a precious moment with Justin and N.

A couple weeks later we went to Seven Peaks for a Brinton Family Reunion. Jon, Heidi and the boys came down to be at the reunion. We enjoyed spending time with them and the boys. We went out to dinner and the boys got balloon animals and were having a lot of fun with them. O also managed to hurt his head while we were there.

We were told we needed more pictures of us.

After another couple weeks we went back up to Idaho to spend the 4th of July. We went out to dinner, played games, enjoyed each others company, celebrated a birthday, watched fireworks, visited the farmers market, played frisbee golf, had breakfast at the falls and got rained on. All in all it was a great weekend.

We want to make this one into a puzzle!

On another note other than our travels, we finally got trees, bushes and grass! Now I don't have as much dirt tracked into my house! Justin and I are having fun with friends and family. We eat dinner with either his parents or my parents almost once a week (sometimes there is a little bit more time in-between). We also have been hanging out with our friends either at our home or going bowling or parties. We enjoy spending time with people. Justin's band is doing well. They just played at a grill for open mic night where they played pretty well for only having a few songs (note it is not the band from the previous post it would be another one). Other than that I can't think of anything else that has really happened.

Memorial Weekend and Idaho

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. We have been very busy! We had fun with my family in Saint George. A couple weeks later we went to Idaho to visit Justin's sister and her family. We enjoyed every minute of our time together. Here are some pictures (not many) of what we did.

Here are some pictures that have been from the past couple of months. I've needed to post them but haven't had the chance to do it yet!
