Pics from Utah

me and my adorable nephew Nick :)
These are just a couple of pics from this summer when
I was up in Utah. ( Still trying to get the rest)
I love my nephews and nieces so much.
I miss the green grass and mountains too but mainly my family :)
With thanksgiving being next week, we are trying to up
and visit for a few days.
I am very thankful for family mine and Jakes

Just a thought about Jake

Just a note of how much I appreciate my husband
Jake is always helping out, whenever anyone askes
him to do something, fix something, or just listen
he is always there.
More so for me than anyone though
Thanks for all the times he has had to wait,
to all the hockey games I made him late.
For fixing everything that I tend to break
from my computer, the toilet, our DVD player
to even my own ankle :(
For also fixing Me, when I'm upset,
tired, grumpy, sore, sad, and all
the rest of the ten thousand moods we women
go through in a day.
Allowing me an extra 15 mins on those days
when I try on just 5 more outfits, cause nothing
is looking right or fit right, and on those days
for reminding me that I am beautiful to him :)
Being my shoulder to lean on (really lean on :) ) cry on,
hold on to when I get scared.
Most of all I am thankful for him being my best friend
through the very thick and thin.
It is hard to remember to say thank you sometimes
but there's no reasonable excuse for not saying thank you enough..
THANK YOU :)

woo whooo hockey :)

Jake got a the 4th goal of the game last night

Early Christmas thoughts :)

Okay, so I am sooo excited for Christmas
and I am glad that there are Christmas blog background now :)
Yeppie !

This year will our first Christmas being married,
and my first Christmas in Vegas.

With everything going on in everyday life
I am always excited for the Holiday season
it is almost like you get to take a break from the normal
things and focus a little more on your loved ones, and
things that make other people happy.
Working I already start to see people, trying to help
others out, and I also see those people who get frustrated
by the long lines, the out of stock product that
their kid just has to get for Christmas
But I hope we can all remember this year
to maybe give more from the heart
rather than our checkbook
Because after it's all said and done
not many people remember what sweater
they got this year, or little toy, it's what they
did with their time, who they spent it with, and things
as a family we did.
So even though it is a little over a month away
I hope we can all start thinking of ways to make
others days brighter, and the people in our lives
who do even the smallest of things, and say thank you :)

Doughnuts on a String

So This is new to me too :)

I guess Jakes family does this every Halloween
Doughnuts on a string.
( We were a little late this year)

We each had a doughnut tied to a string
then it was hung so we could reach it.
The object is to eat your doughnut the fastest,
and you can't use your hands.
Sounds easy enough right?
Well it was fun, but it was not
as easy as I though it would be.
Maybe cause I kept laughing and my doughnut kept moving.
AND THE WINNER IS
KRISTIN :)

Halloween pumpkin :)

I had to work Halloween night, it was still
