ye haw!!!

I got my pictures from Holly so now i just have to get them all downloaded!! i'm so excited!!!

All you need is Love

Holly is such a great snow shoveler! If that's a word? Trying to hit me with snow off a tree is not a great idea though! Ha ha!

I loved my visit with the Rogers! From the first night to the last, their arms were open to my care! Even the boys warmed up quickly to me! We even had our own connections! Isaac sang to me every chance he got. I adore him and his voice. I found myself singing those same songs on the way home and playing my recorded verson of him. how i miss his sweet voice. cuz your beautiful! lincoln on the other hand did a kissing punch! i'd stick my head between the railings on the stairs and he'd copy me. So I puckered up and he kissed me! Followed by a liile soft punch in the face, usually in the nose. This happened all the way up the stairs until I couldn't reach anymore. ;)

Everyday was a blast! Visiting the zoo in zero degree weather! Okay so it was more like 48 or 56 something around there but I still had to wear my two jackets, Holly's gloves, pants and two pairs of socks! I loves being there with them and seeing the boys point out every animal, naming them as we went along. We all went, Jed, Holly, the boys and me! It was GREAT!

Saturday night I got to go on a "date" with Isaac to McD's, but since I couldn't drive stick or in the snow, his mom had to come along with her date lincoln. Jed stayed home to work. So since it was my date to begin with I bought every one some frys and a sunday. I had a shake due to the chocolate in the sunday. I started to dip my frys in the shake and Lincoln caught on! It was the funniest thing i have seen in a long time! First he would dip it in the katchup and then lick that then he would double dip the fry in my shake! It's a good thing I don't get sicken out by those kind of things! I mean, look how cute the kid is! He also helped me drink it too! Lincoln can eat too! I miss those kids so much! I ended up getting a migraine so we left to go home so I could go to bed. Thanks so much Holly! I don't know how I could have gotten myself in the bed without you! That migraine came on so quickly! I just know I was saying my prayers and the next thing, you were there by my side. Thank you for not leaving me:)

K so Sunday was crazy. Taking a jacket to church and hanging it up is so weird! Holly hang in there! They need you like no other! Esp. your voice and musical talent! Oh by the way every one Holly makes a mean Eggplany dish!! It was yummy! I even ate it! Oh and she makes a great broccoil soup! I liked it which means there is something in it like sugar! Oh and her cookies! To die for!!

It snowed that night and into Monday morning/day and I ended up playing in it with Isaac and Lincoln! It was a blast! I made my first snow angel! Holly has a great clip of it! When she gets it posted I'll try and get it copied on my blog as well! Snow is so much fun yet it exausting! One thing I know for sure, I miss them and can't wait for them to come back to az, or until i visit them again if that comes to b the case! FHE that night was different. I haven't had a relaxing, fun, spiritual, and family centered fhe like that one in years.

P.S. Thanks for winter snow clothes again Tamara!

Lincoln and his turtle! He would not let it go! He didn't like the snowsuit too much either! Isaac got a sting ray! But it got to stay indoors as ike ran around outdoors trying to help me figure out how to make a snowman. I couldn't which I think that means I'm meant to stay in Az and just occasionally visit places with snow! I do miss the snow, slipping on ice when no one was looking, being on my own, late night talks, skiing, the whole experience. I would gladly pay just as much again to visit my friends and family again!

Red Rocks

After skiing my uncle took me to see Red Rocks where the Mormon Tab. Choir are going to perform this summer I think? In the ampitheather! But Red rocks were made that way. One of Heavenly Fathers wonderful creations! Thats one way you know that there is a God who loves you!

"Skiing is a dance, and the Mountain always leads."

Friday morning Uncle Jay and I got in comfortable cloths-mine wear my pj's- and headed for Loveland, CO for the ski slopes! We had all our gear in the truck, including the food and water, and no worries, just excitment! Cutting the long, sweet driving which went pretty fast, we arrived in no time. That's when it being more that just exciting, it became blood-pumping exhilarating! After putting the gear on correcting (after a few trys- boots are hard to buckle) we marched, or so it seemed, to the bus to catch a ride to the bunny hills!

By the way, thank you Tamara for the clothes! I was so warm! Everything fit perfectly! Gloves, hat, neck warmer, thermals! Wow!

K so back to the skiing story, Jay taught me how to walk up the snow slope forward and sideways and then I learned how to plow. Then it was to the lift. Jay walked me through the whole thing! On and off so that I wouldn't fall like all the other kids! Yeah I saw them fall left and right. Luckily I had a pro teaching me how to do things. Plowing and turning is the key to everything, which is what I learned next. I have to say that plowing is so hard on the hips! But skiing is a blast! I even got off the bunny hills! without my knowledge! I had to jump off the lift because i was so short too! On that one i bift! Even on the run. I took a huge fall, tumble head first and landed face in the snow! Ha ha I think the hardest part was trying to lift my ski up or trying to lift my head up the next day! I suggest that every one give the bunny hills a try!

Ella CinderElla has found her Prince Charming!

So this is kinda old news to me, but for some it will be brand new! Spankin new!

Princess Ella is ENGAGED!!!

So how did this happen you ask? well Justin Rex Lee is has a master mind of his own, but he couldn't have pulled it off without Ella's friends! Our jobs were to keep her from trying to figure out what he was up too. So while he was working on preparing the ring and how to ask her and getting me involved, another friend was asking her if she wanted to go on a girls night out! Perfect. They would go see the ring at the store which the people at the store had said they sold it even though ella and justin said they would buy it the next day. Ella was so upset. Trina- justins sister led ella to believing that he had left to go talk to the store manger just before they got back to justins place and that he had been so upset he wouldn't talk to trina. Ha ha, ella was fooled cuz he was at ella's parents house the whole afternoon and almost evening getting permission to marry ella! Let's just say he's good! and then he came to my house to make this! Beautiful! I guess that if you don't have an address to ella and you want to be invited, well you better send one to her quick cuz the wedding is in March! I think march 23 or 28? one of them! It's so exciting! She's so young! my little girl is all grown up... ahhh! love story ella!

First time flying

Flying is awesome! We have a serious problem on our hands peeps! Since I'm in love with flying i'm going to want to do it all the time now! I flew to CO for the first time to see my aunt and uncle and my dear friends the Rogers. I have yet to experence much except the sight seeing from the airport to my uncles home -1 hour away, but i had much to see such as the "killer horse" (a guy who made it died in the process so his son had to finish the statue. sad) and the football stadium! sweet stuff! it was dark but was so pretty even then! More adventure to come such as skiing into a tree! haha!
