Mom & Dad T come to visit for Christmas!

Jacob's parents are always so wonderful about coming up here to visit every year when the snow comes and give the grandkids a wonderful Pre-Christmas. We had tons of fun taking Tracks to visit Temple square in a blizzard, opening presents, making candy trains and singing "Happy Birthday" to Jacob's dad in front of his beloved Trailer...in the form of a cake.

Glenn Beck!!

Jacob and I are Glenn Beck fans. If you don't know who he is: he is a Mormon convert and he has a political conservative talk show on the radio (syndicated out of New York) and he also has a political conservative talk show that will soon be airing on Fox. He has just written another book called "The Christmas Sweater" and it is FABULOUS!!!! I balled through half of it and laughed through the other half. I couldn't put it down until I had read all 287 pages that same day. It is an amazing inspirational story based on his true-life events and experiences (no politics). If you don't have it...get it! We got ours at Deseret Book. The book-signing tour came right to our local mall! The only place in Utah on the tour! I was so excited and so I took Jacob there as a surprise. We got there and I said "Guess What?! You are gonna meet Glenn Beck today!" He had not been listening to the radio lately so he had no idea about it. He loved it. He was very nice and sincere as we shook his hand and said hello. We had to take pictures from the sidelines so here you go.

Thanksgiving and "California Sledding"

Thanksgiving!! Yeah!! I LOVE Thanksgiving. I don't know what I was more excited for: the food, going to visit my Mamma, spending it with my brother, Steven that I haven't seen in 2 years or the fact that Melissa and her kids came to visit. It was such a fun day. That same weekend, since there was no snow we went "California Sledding" or "Iceblocking". It was hillarious.

STEVEN'S HOME!!

My brother, Steven came home from his mission in Montatna. It was so fun. We actually got ot meet him right at the gate thanks to my neighbor who is a Sargent at the SLC airport. It was awesome. He was so suprised. The poor Elders that were coming off the plane with him were a little confused and started looking around for their parents as well. It was kinda sad. My sister, Melissa and her kids came up to see him come home and stay for Thanksgiving. It was such an awsome weekend. The second collage is when we all came back to my house for a yummy breakfast of gingerbread waffles and bacon...and cake. The little sign that is on his cake is an exact replica of the sign that my neices and nephew made to take to the airport. (I have edible markers and cut out a piece of fondant ahead of time to look like a posterboard then duplicated all of their artwork). It was a great day. I was so excited to have him back.

Anyone have any sisters that I can set him up with? He's the most awsome guy I know.

My 28th B-Day & Twilight

Yes, I am a Twilight fan. I have to admit it. They are such fun books. I never read a book twice but I have actually read the entire Twilight series twice and am actually thinking of reading it again...if I ever get a chance to even pee again!

Anyway, the Twilight movie came out on my birthday!! Happy Birthday to ME!!! My girlfriends and I were the ULTIMATE dorks and got the cheesiest t-shirts that we could think of printed out because we thought it would be hillarious. We totally looked like the teenagers that were there. It was SO funny. We went to dinner at the Pizza Factory (SO yummy!) then headed over to see the flick. So fun!

That weekend Jacob made me a cake (I frosted it real quick) and he bought me the entire Twilight series in hardbound, the Twilight soundtrack (it's really good, everyone!) and of course, Sees Chocolates (He hand picked them! He's been trained to know which are my favorites.) He's such a great hubby! He always indulges me, no matter how dorky I am. What a great "Twilight" birthday! I know, I know...I'm such a dork.

Fall Family Photos

Like I've said before, I LOVE fall so I really wanted to have our family pictures taken in the fall this year. My good friend, Amanda was so sweet to take them.
