Holiday Time Line

Seasons greeting from the Christmas elf!

Everyone came over to my parents house on Christmas eve for dinner. We had lots to eat and lots of fun, this was the new season favorite cranberry cream cheese. It is so wonderful and i don't even like cranberries.





These three kings are the best iv ever seen




The whole nativity crew, I told Isac this year was his year to play baby Jesus but he wasn't having any of that. This Christmas was not like any other, only Isac and i were home for Christmas:[ But we still had lots of fun. Our favorite toy was called a wall tumbler, I got pooh and Isac got tiger and you through them on the wall and they race down, stinkin Isac won every time.

Then new years eve arrived along with sev, haley, brin, and danny. What a champ, my dad BBQ burgers in the snow and they were delicious.





Sev getting a perm, why you ask? well you have to ask him cause i don't know.

A head full of curls was the finishing product

Dried and fluffed he looked the Kramer, every time i looked at him i had to bust up laughing.



Donuts donuts donuts Gallor, there was quiet the assemble line going to get them just right.

Here was the finish line were we glazed them and sev had to make some cinnamon and then in to our mouths, they sure were yummy.



Then 9 oclock arrived and we had to play tetrus, we played forever until 10 oclock and brin announced we had to run to grandmas. i jumped in the car and a way we went but low and behold there was some one waiting down the lane in dads tractor, Who could it be?

With the surprise of my life Mr. Todd Hawkins was there, drove in a snow storm for 8 hours to bring me a ring. He carried my to his Chariot that was awaiting, got down on one knee and popped the question.





What a wonderful new years eve it ended up to be, we all were surprised! Now were as happy as could be and cant wait til may 8th which is the day it will be.

Happy Halloween

We headed up to snowbird for Halloween weekend to spend sometime with Todd's family, it was a blast! We went on the tram and swimming and all kinds of fun. Todd is the worst picture taker, i always smile and he always pulls some face or he will smile and then i move, we just cant get any good ones.

Having fun on the tram

King of the mountain

Our pumpkins

Halloween treats, there so easy to make and super good, pretzels, hugs, and m&m

We went out to Gardner village to check out all the crazy witches, this one is my favorite. If you haven't ever been to Gardner village you should check it out, i love this place.

October went by fast and November is going even faster, Hope everyone has a

Happy Thanksgiving!

Going Hiking

We finally got a day off together, HURRAY! So we decided to go hiking, it was so much fun.

This is are pre - happy hiking faces

We are about half way to lake blanch, at boulder field.


We made it to the top

There was an old wall up at the lake, that was pretty cool.

This is the beautiful lake and yes there was snow up there. We had lots of fun and cant wait till we get to go snow shoeing.

Todd's sister had a little baby girl so here we are masks and all.

Diaper Cake

I made this diaper cake for a baby shower present, i haven't ever made one before so i was really excited to try it out. I think it turned out really well and i had a great time making it.

I got the cutest material to make this sweet blanket and headband, i love it. Now if the baby would just come already, i could see how cute they really are with a sweet little baby in them.

Is it Halloween yet? cause im ready

So the other day at school we had a class on making people opposites and this is what they came up with for me, who knew i should of lived back then with my grandma.

Mattie Moo

When i went home for labor day weekend I took Mattie's Senior pictures. It was so much fun taking her pictures, she was so natural and easy to take her picture.

These are just a few of my favorites, there was so many to choose from.

I went to all new places for her shoot and they all turned out to be great.

Thanks Mattie, your so beautiful and i had a lot of fun taking your pictures.

Home Again Home Again

This was the ugly mug to welcome us home. This is the new severin, he changes his facial hair weekly so i have no idea what he looks like now but i don't like severin with facial hair. I wish the old severin would return to me, i know haley would second that motion, any one else say I?


Took the Todd home to the farm, he learned all kinds of new things. One most important thing he learned was to set a siphon, I was so proud.

Then we set out to the wonderful lake of moses. It was lots of fun, Todd got up on skies first time ever. He was pretty stiff and kept pulling the rope up, great for entertainment purposes.

Second test was to see how well Todd could handle his self on the tube. Crazy dad was trying to kill us, as you can see from the picture below.

we really thought we were going to die.

I had so much fun at home and cant wait till thanksgiving when the whole fam will be home and the most important, the Dom.

BEST COMPLIMENT

So today Todd's niece told her mom and i quote, "I wish i was a boy so i could marry amber cause i really like her and want her to be part of our family." I think that's the nicest thing any one has ever said about me. I thought it was pretty funny, the things 5 year olds say. Hope you enjoy the short story.
