Happy New Year!

For New Years we went to Boise,ID to spend with Kyle's family. When we got there Kyle's parents spoiled us with a few Christmas presents which we were very grateful for!
On Thursday we went to one of Kelsey's favorite pizza places, The Pie Hole.

Kelsey and Rachel - aren't they beautiful!?

I just love my teddy bear!



Cheers to 2010!!


Here's to you honey!





Kyle's Parents

After 12 we went outside to light off some fireworks even though it was freezing!

Kyle and I wanted to make some pizza but in order to do that I had to get down in their storage to get some dry milk and Leslie didn't want me to get insulation all over me so I had to get dressed up!

Here is the hole I had to get in...
Kyle took advantage of being off track for school and grew a beard but for his last couple days he wanted a go-tee so his parents helped him out.


Here is my handsome stud!
We certainly have had a great year and look forward to a new year filled with even more love, memories and happiness!

Christmas at the Wards

For Christmas this year we spent it at my brother's house in Idaho Falls. My parents and my sisters were able to come up so it was a full house!I got there Wednesday to help Becky out and I made some sugar cookies and then Owen, Wesley, Becky and I frosted them. I sure love living so close and being able to spend time with my brother and his family; their kids are so cute!

Owen was pretty proud of his gingerbread man!

I think Wesley ate more frosting off his finger than he got on his cookie!


If you ever need a light bulb changed...Kyle is the man to ask!


Here are me and my sisters in our new PJ's



The tree Christmas morning!



It was so fun to see all the expressions on Owen and Wesley's faces as they opened their presents!




Madalyn had the most fun playing with the paper. Isn't she so cute!


Here is Kyle opening an rubiks cube, he loves those things and he can get all the sides the same color! It makes me very proud!!


Kyle got me a couple cute house decorations and a new Ipod home.

After kyle opened the two presents I had for him he was happy with them and played with his rubiks cube and after most of the presents were gone I surprised him with another present and as he opened it he gives me this look like I stole it from somewhere! I surprised him with a Play station 3 that was paid for from combined Christmas money that I knew we would get.


He was pretty excited!!!
He is too cute to not spoil!




I asked Laura not too long ago to make me a blanket expecting to get it in a few months but she
surprised me with it for Christmas! I was so excited and use it almost everyday! Thanks Laura!




Turns out that my dad still has his old ping pong skills!



The beautiful sisters!


My dad and me


The boys got a few nerf ball guns and us adults had a lot of fun shooting each other with them!



The day after Christmas we got tickets to go see Avatar in 3D and to make sure we got good seats, Kyle, Rosanne and I went an hour early to save seats for everyone and so we got the tickets and then went to the theater that the ticket lady told us and the theater was empty and we were excited because we could pick any seat! After a while it started filling up but not very much and were kind of confused but thought maybe it wasn't as big of a hit as we thought...then the previews come on about 20 minutes before the movie was supposed to start and we realize we were in the wrong theater! So luckily we were able to get decent seats because the other theater was pretty full! It was pretty funny but to be safe - always check to make sure you are in the right theater!
Thanks Kevin and Becky for hosting a great Christmas!

Christmas Tree Lane

Last semester for my Interiorscaping class we were assigned trees to decorate. There was just one other girl in my group and we assigned the Christmas Tree Lane tree which is Christmas tree decorating contest for all of campus and the Horticulture Society had won the last 3 years and so we were under a little bit of pressure! The theme was Christmas in "Who-burg". Luckily we were able to win and got the grand prize! It was a lot of fun.

It may be hard to tell in the picture but we made Grinch arms that are going around the tree which I think was a big hit!
