The Many Adventures of You & Me: November 2010

Did you know?

JH and I both have a fake front tooth.

So I got a Christmas gift early... a trip to the dentist!

Even after getting a new dentist, I still LOVE it.

I told him how this was better than a Christmas gift and he replied with "you're sick"

He is a good guy, I think I will keep him.

We were sitting there talking about marriage and proposal and they offered to put my rings in the ultrasonic cleaner to make them sparkle.

How awesome is that?

I replied with "you know, I didn't think it was possible but you guys just moved up on my "favorites" list".

Again I got the "you are a weirdo look"

It's ok I am not ashamed.

I LOVE MY DENTIST!

now my rings, teeth, and Christmas tree sparkle.

November 30, 2010 you have been good to me.

(the pictures do not do it justice... it SPARKLES!)

JH is going to kill me...

...but look how cute, he admitted he wants to make me happy with a heart.

I know I am being indecisive but isn't it cute that he would respond to me like that?

I can't wait for tomorrow!

My advent/present-a-day calendar is done and Jon gets to start opening it tomorrow!

Lots of snow, but still a beautiful sunrise.

Endless possibilities....

...for beautiful, well mannered, cool, awesome, non-nerdy children. Don't you agree?

Mega post

Here we go:

Wednesday: JH and I drove to the cabin, got there late, and enjoyed some rest.

Thursday: Kind of slept in, got up and started crafting.

This is the start of the most awesome idea I have ever had. It all started when I saw this. (more to come on 12/1/2010)

Played speed scrabble.

Apparently Grrr is a word.

Ate a delicious dinner and spent time trying to recork the bottle.

Went to Mega Mind in 3-D

Stole the 3-D glasses so we could look like Ethan from our wedding.

Watched the T. Swft Speical with the fam. I LOVE her new album.

(she announced she is coming to SLC in September 2011!!!)

Friday: got up after 1.5 hours of sleep and Tackled the Black Friday thing. (I didn't get much)

Didn't take a nap.

Saturday: After a chilly, nerve-wracking game...We won!

We were pretty excited. Next up: getting our frist Christmas tree!!!

My favorite part was after the game,

I was rushing back to the car because:

1: I was COLD

2: Joshie was waiting for us.

3: we were going to get our tree!

So maybe I was walking really fast... maybe. Anyway JH grabbed me and tried to slow me down and then said this: " I can't think about the game when I am walking fast, all I can think about is walking."

For some reason this was the funniest thing I had heard all day.

It still makes me laugh.

My dad was excited!

Power snow shovel vs. baby snow blower.

our first tree!

JH loves it!

My parent's tree was a little too big for the wrapper.

Such a good husband.

My real wreath: a product from my mom's black friday shopping.

After the tree JH needed to film a video for school...

it turned into play time with CJ on the court.

He is really good at basketball.

Our Disneyworld ornament.

Disneyworld #2

3-D glasses (isn't he cute)

Our cute house, with decoration from my mom and grandma.

(and yes that is Sportscenter on the tv)

I made JH hang our first ornament while I took a picture, he was excited and not acting like a butthead at all.

My ornaments (well .000000001 % of them).

I love sparkling snowflakes and my Utah candy canes!

Yeah!

So festive!

I love it!

I can't wait for December 1 when the most awesome idea ever starts!

He IS good.

If I sang as good as Carrie Underwood I would sing it to my mom and dad. (but I don't so you can watch the video here.)

Mama you taught me to do the right things

So now you have to let your baby fly

You've given me everything that I will need

To make it through this crazy thing called life

And I know you watch me grow up and always want whats best for me

And I think I found the answer to your prayers

And he is good, so good

He treats your little girl like a real man should

He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps

No he's never gonna leave

So dont you worry about me

Dont you worry about me

Mama theres no way you'll ever lose me

And giving me away is not goodbye

As you watch me walk down to my future, I hope

tears of joy are in your eyes

Cuz he is good, so good

He treats your little girl like a real man should

He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps

No he's never gonna leave

So dont you worry about me

Dont you worry about me

And when I watch my little baby grow I'll only want whats best for her

And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers

And that she'll say

He is good, so good

He treats your little girl like a real man should

He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps

No he's never gonna leave

So dont you worry about me

Dont you worry about me

Mama dont you worry about me

Dont you worry about me

Dad you can insert "Dad" into this song and it can be to you, since I am sure you are the one who worry about the guy your little girl would end up marrying the most. Remember JH IS good, and he really treats me better than I should be treated. I found him and I am happy.

(next up a Thanksgiving/Decorating for Christmas post!!!)

On Thanksgiving I will always be grateful for....

The trip to Peru that change many aspects of my life

A wonderful man who took a chance on me

Supportive parents who help me through EVERYTHING.

Wonderful in-laws

My brothers

awesome extended family

a marriage proposal one year ago (Nov 21st)

my religion

my husband: I honestly am thankful for him and his support every day. I love him and can't imagine my life without him. he is amazing, he is my rock, he is my example, he is my life. I strive everyday to make his life as great as he makes mine. I am so so so so so so so so thankful, I don't know what I did to deserve him, but I thank my Heavenly Father every night for him and his love.

I have so many blessings and I will make sure I show gratitude for them tomorrow as well as every other day of the year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Remember to count your MANY blessings!

L.O.V.E.

a hand written love letter.

a wedding gift waiting to be used.

(too bad he was at work)

what a great thing to come home to!

JH sure knows how to make me teary eyed with his precious words.

I sure do love him.

The big kids.

I loved hanging out with Katie-babe and E, watching their faces, hearing them laugh, watching them become friends with JH... BUT... I had a blast hanging out with my parents and siblings.

(this picture was taken when the rest of the group when to the Haunted Mansion, JH and I took the girls on Its a Small World- E kept asking me to take pictures of her and JH so she could put them in her locket. Katie-babe kept cuddling up to him and saying "oh wow" everytime we entered a new room)

J and Holly took the kids back one night and I got to hang out with 2 of my brothers, my parents, and my husband. We went on rollercoasters, googled, rocked out to Aerosmith, made fun of my mom's comments and laughed.

The next night the parental units took the kiddos back and the siblings got to hang out. We probably had a little too much fun. Standing in line with them meant I got to spend quality time with them (which doesn't happen often). It was nice to see JH fitting right in. There were times when he woud disappear with the kids or my brothers and come back laughing. I think its safe to say he had a great time.

Thanks again parents (and siblings and nieces and hubby) I think this should become a tradition every few years.

The Princess and The Cheeseball

While in downtown disney Katie-babe turned into the BIGGEST cheeseball. It was hilarious. I put some Minnie ears on her and the fun began.

We went over to a wall where they had many styles of Minnie ears. She would grab one, put it on, pose, and then run over and ask to see the picture. This went on for about 10 mins before the rest of the family came over and and saw how funny she was acting.

She first started out with this pose:
