a little update






So many things have happened, and unfortunately I just am not good with taking pictures, or writing on here. Here are some pictures of a few things I snapped on my phone.
I never wrote about our car we got! We bought a 2011 Kia Forte back in Nov! Its been good for us, except for when it decides that it doesn't want the cruise control to work, and this morning Jeff said that it got stuck in 4th gear. I took it into the Dealership, and they said they haven't found any of the problems we've told them about nor can they see anything wrong with it... Makes for a frustrating situation, when we know we aren't crazy, but they say if they cant duplicate the problem then there is not a way for them to fix something they don't know what is wrong. So pretty frustrating. We are getting the feeling as soon as we drive away from the place something is bound to happen.
Tacoah is now officially part of our family. Back in May we were foster care/babysitting her until her owner could find an apartment that allowed Cats. She was not able to by Dec, and she finally asked if we could keep her. :) Jeff is one happy little kid! haha. He LOVES Coah (we usually just call her Coah), and I think he loves her more than he loves me! haha. Anyways we bought her some Christmas gifts, new cat scratch posts, and she loves them! Finally something to keep her out of my tree, the stinker! She is a cute little cat, but she sure can get herself into trouble! very adorable little thing. I don't have much better pictures of her.



This is sweet newborn Brooklyn! My Cousin Karissa and her husband Jeff did a great Job!(we have a lot of Jeff's in my family, I have two cousins named Jeff, a cousin in law, and my hubby Jeff).

We bought a bedroom set with the money we were going to use to go on the Vacation trip Jeff had planned for me back in Sept, but ever since I got laid off we cancelled that. With the extra money we had, we decided to splurge a little on ourselves. It was well worth it! Sorry no pictures of this.

My Grandpa was helping out with the Idaho Falls Watch Patrol (sorry I forget its actual name) Anyways he worked very hard to get this guy to do his show in IF. He is a magician and an Elvis impersonator, he was so fun to watch and was hilarious. I feel so bad though, not very many people showed up to this, and my Grandpa spent a lot of money to fly him there and to pay for his time there. But I at least enjoyed it with my mom and best friend Ashlie :o)
Oh man... all these pictures of me below, really suck!!! Oh I hate pictures of me! My eyes are all squinty in every one of them! Oh well its of Ashlie and her baby Brody when he was just a week or so old. Oh he's the cutest thing! I love it when I get to see him. I cant believe that he is now 10 months old! aahh!


Eek! My crazy eyes! Oh well. Its a picture for ya :)

This picture is from back in the summer. Its grown quite a bit. We bought it from some Jewish New Yorker ladies that used to live on our street. They were moving and we bought this from them. I really like it.

Um... what else could I write about? Oh yes I've had a lovely time with family. We spent Christmas with both my family and Jeff's. It was so much fun, we did a combined Christmas dinner on Saturday, Brian, Lee, Julie (part of Jeff's family) and my grandparents, mom, April, CJ, Marisa, Tesha and her boyfriend all ate together. It was very nice to spend time with both families! And I got to meet Marisa's Fiance... I mean boyfriend. haha just playin with you sista! We enjoyed a wonderful meal, and had fun playing white elephant. I love that game! Jeff got me a Nook which we've both been having fun with!

New years Day I spent time with my mom's side of the family. A baby blessing (Karissa and Jeff's) and then cousin Andrew's farewell! I am so proud of him! He will be an amazing Missionary and I will miss him! I love spending time with family!!! Well ... that's about it, and sorry not many other pictures either. I really do suck at blogging.

Oh Yes, one more thing! I was called to be a Visiting Teacher for three other ladies in my ward as well as the Relief Society Board Activities Coordinator! Thats all folks!

So your cat is rather funny. I thought the story you posted on fb was hilarious where it ate half the sticky hand. Cats are just so dumb. It was awesome to get to see you! Oh and guess what? I'm moving back up north next week! I don't know if you already knew that.
