SNOW SNOW & MORE SNOW!

Snow up to my knees! We have had some crazy storms the last few days and school was canceled on thursday and friday. The shoveling was AWFUL! Enjoy while I make sugar cookies! :)

FED UP!!!

I am SO ready to have both of these beauties back soldered together! It has been one heck of a ride with the Kay Jewelers in Grand Junction and I would suggest you DON'T use them!!! The Provo one is 100 times BETTER!!! There has been ring drama but I think it is all figured out! I am missing them lots! Other things on the agenda! We are looking for other places to rent but have not found any yet! We need a little more space but not much more rent than we are already paying (if anyone knows a place tell me PLZ) I am still keeping up with work, some nights it is a struggle!! But I am managing! I am still having sleep problems so if some one has any ides of what could help PLEASE tell me! Avery and I are doing well enjoying each other but I am thinking we NEED a vacation...hmmm

Just us!

Well lately Avery and I have been SUPER busy! He is always working and home when ever he is done. This last week he had off till Thursday and I LOVED it! I started school two weeks ago and I am taking 3 classes. I am enjoying them so far and I know math is going to be a CHALLENGE! The house has been slacking which I hate but I have SOO much going on! Avery has stepped up some and helped me with dinner and dishes quite often which I LOVE! This year I made some new years resolutions but I have not got them with me so I will have to post them next time! I have snuggled with Carolina lots and I love it! :) No kids for us for a while but that is ok I have some to love on! Work is going good, I can not believe that school is out in May! I am still trying to decide what is going to happen with spring break...I want to vaca!!! But I don't know if we can cause Avery works LOTS!! Well not too much else going on! Love you all!!

Tubing!

Clara and I decided to go tubing. We went and bought tubes checked out a few places to go and we ended up at the ski lift. While we were checking things out we decided to invite my mom and sisters! We had a BLAST! After we got done tubing the girls begged me to pull them down the road so we did! These are our only pictures! I hope to go tubing with Avery soon!!!

Christmas

My Stocking

My loot! :))

Avery's Loot

Avery and his stocking

This is me running to give Avery a big hug for getting me a Cricut!!!
that is why it is blurry!

This year Christmas was AWESOME! We had a great time! I was able to get a cricut and Avery got a surround sound system and Blue Ray DVD player. It is different not having kids and and getting to see them all excited and such, but someday we will! We went to both of our families house on christmas and spent good family time! I already have all of the decorations taken down and I LOVE my nice clean house!! :)

WEDDING PICS

I finally got my wedding pics! I am SOOO excited to share with you some more!! :)

O Christmas Tree :)

I have just loved this season SO much! It has brought Avery and I closer and has let us had a fun journey so far!

Yesterday for FHE we invited my family to go with us. My dad said he knew where some trees were, so we asked him to show us. We got there and saw a few, I hiked to them in the snow that was up to my knees! I did this to 2 trees at first and I didn't like either of them! So we drove a littler further and parked and all got out to go hiking for a tree. Avery started walking and found a CUTE one! I just had to look and see if there was another one:) We walked around for 5-10 more minutes. I decided to go back to the one Ave picked. Dad went and got the chain saw started it but it kept dying. He forgot to check and make sure it had gas before we left!! So avery cut down our tree with a hand saw:) We hauled it back to the truck and we had cocoa:) Then dad decided he wanted to take a road that hasn't been plowed yet. Avery slid off and got stuck, but was able to get out. Then he went ahead of everybody and we got to a high spot on the road where he was scraping and got stuck and had to be pulled out. We went a little further and had to turn around. We headed home and had soup and put up the tree and decorated with my families help it was a GREAT night!

OUr happy hOme:)

This is our sweet little home! It is for sure LITTLE because not everything fits!!! We like having our own place and I have had fun decorating it and making it look cute!! :) Enjoy the pics!

Internet

Avery and I just got the internet at our house. I am starting to hate it already!! Oh well I just hope the vicious cycle doesn't continue:/ I am DYING to see my wedding pictures. I got told three weeks ago it would only take a few more days and I have yet to see them:( Avery and I have put up christmas lights I will upload those pictures next time. I am so ready for the weekend to be here! I am also ready to order my pictures I have yet to scrapbook and start scrapping again:) I also need to get my christmas cards done and out, but I was going to just use a wedding picture in them but I can't yet...waiting Joy.... This Thanks giving Brad was able to make it up and stay for 5 days at my parents house. It was a lot of fun! My mother has the pictures so I will have to ask her for them. While he was here we ate and played games and played hide and go seek for Jordan. That is her favorite game I think! I enjoyed being off of work and being able to relax and enjoy my family. I hardly did any cleaning and now this week I am paying for it! I am also wishing we had our bedroom furniture so I could get the ugly shelfs out of our room. someday...I hope you all enjoyed your holiday!

Randomness:) Enjoy!

I am just posting because I haven't in such a long time! I Am not sure what to call it because it is so random! :) First off we have a new nephew and niece! My brother brad and his wife Manike had a baby girl, Carolina Arabella. You can click this link to go see her http://lifeatthepipkins.blogspot.com/
Candice & Duncan Just had a baby boy last week, Traxton, he is adorable! You can go here to see him http://candoolsen.blogspot.com/ I love that I am actually an aunt! Momma Olsen said that Traxton looks like Duncan and Avery did when they were babies so I am thinking that Avery and I's will look close to this! :) (I am OK with that)

Then this week is Thanksgiving and Bradley is going to make it up to Monticello, I am so EXCITED to see him because I haven't really seen him since January of this year! We will be having dinner at my parents but I think Avery has to work so I am sad about that! I am Also excited for Christmas coming up! I am such a fan of this holiday just because of the reason for the season:)

Then the last little bit Avery and I have been accomplishing lots of little things around the house! I am so ready to get back into scrap booking after the holidays because time will have slowed down. Also I got told that my wedding pictures are close to being done and I am so ready to see them but nervous too!

This weekend Avery went out with some of his buddies and I went with my family to New Moon. I really did like it! Just ready for the next one:)

Avery and I made sugar cookies last night it was a lot of fun to be able to do that together and spend that time! I love Sundays because we are both home from work! We love the married life:) We wouldn't trade it for anything!

VEGAS!!

This is where we went for our honeymoon! We had a blast! It was SOO much fun and we plan on returning! These pictures were taken ontop of the bus we rode up and down the strip to see it all! We only had a super short break here so we didn't risk getting off the bus! I hope you enjoy the pictures of the honeymoon! Thanks for all your help with the wedding! As soon as i figure out how to get some on here I will!
