The Effects of Xbox Live

And I didn't even know he owned sweats...

Christmas!!

This is what it looked like when we woke up at seven. Notice the Stockings have been filled...

Logan had to divide the gifts into piles. Left is mine, center is ours, and right is Logans. Apparently the Blu-Ray belongs to me.

The glorious Christmas Mess.

This is the Loot.
Overall, we came out pretty well. Power tools, a Blu-Ray player. TONS of DVDs and Blu-Rays. Clothes, toys, and some other fun stuff. Hope your Christmas was as wonderful as ours!

SNOW DAY!!

This little boy who was playing in the streets confirmed it for me. It is indeed a snow day in Washington County. I assume he knows what he is talking about... I think this is so fun! I never expected to see snow actually stick here. This is amazing! (Isn't it? I'm not a native so I don't know.) I like it though.

Does this look like St. George to you?

White Christmas, huh? Well, here it is...

This is what we awoke to this morning. I'm pretty excited, Logan is not so much. Last night Kim texted me and said "Snow?" Well Kimtastic, here is your reply.

Pine Valley

We went to Pine Valley yesterday to go tubing. We didnt end up tubing since we didnt have the cap to our tube with us:) Pine Valley is beautiful. If anyone doesnt know what to get me for Christmas, a cabin up there would be just fine!

What is this about???

Chubby Man

This is what Logan looks like when he gets home from the airport, as a matter of fact, this was taken merely seconds ago. No one would ever guess that under all of those chubby clothes, there was a skinny guy.

Weeweechu

It's a romantic full moon, when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu." Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita. Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Pedro begged. "But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied Rosita. Please, corazoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with me." Rosita looked at Pedro and said, "OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu." Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both sang..... "Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year." MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Sydney's Birthday

I decided to pay Sydney back for the embarrassing pictures she posted of me for my birthday

I woke her up at 8am and she opened her presents.

This is Sydney "posing with her spoils". She got socks, windshield wipers, 2 pairs of Silver jeans, a ring, and a wad of cash.

-Logan

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for my awesome presents. I felt so loved and just wanted to let everyone know how much I love them too! Thanks!

-Sydney

This is random

I was just listening to the Top 40 Country Countdown and doing laundry (yes, yes I am a sinner), and I heard a song I have never heard before and I had to sit down and laugh my butt off. It' may not be your style, but the frank and hilarious lyrics had me cracking up. Here's the link to the video http://www.cmt.com/videos/joey-rory/266100/cheater-cheater.jhtml

My Turn

So Logan took me to Twilight this afternoon, and thanks to you all, I really liked it. Everyone made me go into it expecting NOTHING, and thus, it was much better than expected. I was expecting worse effects, worse acting, worse everything. The only thing I didnt like was Jacob...it would help if he was really an indian, and didnt look like a girl, and had real hair, etc. I was also not too impressed with Jasper, but he grew on me a tiny bit. I just thought he was supposed to be hot. Anyway... This is the end of my ramblings.

Christmas at our house

We put up my Mom's Christmas tree and her outside decorations (by "we" I mean me and mom), and picked up our tree that my Aunt Verlin gave us. This is what Christmas prep looks like at our house.
Yeah, it's messy..
But you can't beat the finished product...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wal-Mart at 3:45

Logan didnt want to go shopping with me for "Black Friday" until he saw his Samsung Blu-Ray DVD player for a great price in the Wal-Mart ad, and then he became a crazy man.


This is us standing outside Wal-Mart at 3:45, we stood there in the cold til 5 and then I saw something I thought I would never see.

As soon as the doors opened Logan grabbed my hand and bolted through the people who had been standing in front of us and pushing and shoving his way in. I stuck with him for a while, but when he began to encounter shopping carts, the maneuvering became much more tricky and I was quickly cast aside. I seriously wish I would have thought to video this. He was running and jumping and dodging like I have never seen anyone do before. People who say women are crazy at these sales clearly have never witnessed a man on a quest for his Blu-Ray.

We were in and out in under 15 minutes. This is Logan, at approximately 5:30, back at my Mom's house posing with his spoils.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year it was my family's turn to have us over for Thanksgiving dinner. I didn't end up taking a ton of pictures, but I think you will get the idea.

These are the pies my sister Katie made. She was really proud of the cherry one, so I thought I would take a picture and blog about it for her.

This is my Mom making her famous rolls with her not-so-secret family recipe. She never lets us take pictures of her, so I am blogging this monumental event.

Logan took his Xbox with him and that made him the most popular guy after dinner. Everyone loved trying their hand at Halo3, and everyone had a great time.

Thanksgiving was a total success, it was the first time in a long time that everyone was able to make it over for dinner. The sibs were late, but it all worked out just fine.
