Connelly attended his first birthday party. It was a party for actually three boys. I'm sure it was crazy. The boys all turned 4 this week. Connelly is already hanging out with the older boys. I'm going to have my hands full. He came home looking like this. He had a bad full of party favors and a balloon. He had so much fun. They played games and they got their faces professionally painted. It was a great party. The kids were suppose to dress up and I of course knew exactly what Connelly could go as: A cowboy. He loved it.

Yes that is me and my sister, Holly. I am dressed for success!! I don't fool around. I am serious about staying warm. I don't have the fancy clothes like Holly that make you look good and still warm, I just look fat, but I was warm. Holly's hands got cold with her "Name Brand" , I don't know the name, gloves. My gloves and clothes worked great. I love to ski and I haven't done it in almost 4 years. Dad took us all the time when we were younger so we learned young. It was like riding a bicycle. We went down every black diamond at Beaver Mountain up Logan, UT canyon. We were way better than I thought I would be. It was such a thrill. I want to be rich and have a season pass. I love it. My bindings on my way old skies actually broke before I even put my foot into them so I ended up renting and I LOVE THE NEW SKIES. They are so short and easy to ski on. I need to go more. It was a blast.

You got it!! We went to a drag queen show. This is good old Dolly Parton in drag style. It was funny. I wouldn't pay money to see it again, but it made for something to do. Tomi, Kirstin, Aubrey, Kandy, Chari, and Sarah These are the drag queen back up dancers. They weren't that great but okay. I guess we would have had to pay better money to see the real deal like the Thunder Down Under! LOL

We spent Christmas with Nate's family this year. We decorated graham cracker cookie houses. Each kid had his own style. This is mine/Connelly's. I thought everyone did a great job and it ended up being a cute little graham cracker village My mom gave Connelly a tent for Christmas and he plays a ton in it and loves to "camp in it"

  I had some blueberries that I had in the freezer forever, since May, so decided to do this with them.   It turned out better than I could have imagined and tasted FABULOUS. The crust was even good. I surprise myself sometimes. I don't like fruit pies, except blueberry. So I'm glad I was finally able to make my favorite pie.  

        I Did it!!! It might have taken me 10 extra years and all that, but I'm done. I graduate from Weber State University yesterday, December 10,2010. I have a BA in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, major and a minor in Radiological Sciences. I graduated with honors and on the Dean's list. I have a part time PRN(as needed) job already and it is great. I only have to work a little, only get paid for the studies that I do and it is just 2.5 miles from my house. I have only worked there a week, but I LOVE IT!!! I have achieved something that I never thought was possible but always desired and I'm so proud of the accomplishment. Now this Friday I have the FINAL test, my boards to pass, and I'm in!! Even though I'm graduated every employer really wants an employee to be board certified. I passed 1/2 of the boards, the physics part, back in August and now that I'm graduated can take the final 1/2 this Friday. I can't wait. This is the best Christmas pr...

Connelly has been so fun now that he is potty trained. Yes you heart me, HE IS POTTY TRAINED. Not one accident in two weeks. He will even tell me when he has to go when he is busy playing. I know this is abnormal and I'm very fortunate. I ran upon these picks from this summer and just thought how cute they were. We went to Cherry Hill resort in Kaysville this summer and had a lot of fun.
