Christmas

My favorite day of the year is over but we had so much fun. We spent Christmas Eve with my family making ginger bread houses( of course ours was the best!) Then we spent christmas day opening presents with both of our families. Im so grateful we were able to spend the holidays with our families and have such good time!

Lots of pics of our holiday festivities-

Sugar with all of her presents!

River Henderson Andrus!

My sister Michelle and her husband Brady had another absolutely beautiful baby boy! I am so excited to have another little sweet spirit in our family... He is so cute, but most importantly he and michelle are healthy and doing great!

NFR!

Last night was the first round of the NFR and we had so much fun! Jason's brother Randon is in it this year and could possibly win the world so its especially fun going and cheering him on! It's so awesome to see the people we rope around all year who have worked so hard to make it to the NFR! So for the next 9 nights we'll be at the Thomas and Mack.. Good luck Randon!

Fragile.....

Yesterday i went to a funeral of a really close freind of jason and his family. i never met him but the funeral really touched me. He was only 29 years old with a wife and a child. It really made me step back and realize just how fragile life is, how blessed i am to have every single day here upon this earth and to cherish every moment with the people i love so much. I began to ask myself lots of questions like... If i died would my husband, family, and friends know how much i loved them? What more can i do each day to lift others and to make a difference in their lives? If i died tomorrow would i be worthy enough to end up where i want to be?( well i know the answer to that is a no, so i better not be going anywhere soon!)etc... These questions helped me come to the conclusion that i need to do better, try harder, so that if today were my last that i would have no regrets. That i could be the person that changed others lives for good and that their lives were better because i was a part of it. To my friends and family.. i love each and every one of you so unbelievably much, am so grateful to have you as a part of my life, and would do anything in this world for any of you!

Thanksgiving!

Some of the wonderful highlights from my thanksgiving trip!
-Going to Jills bridal shower and spending time with my best friends
-Having fun hair experiments with Kailee
- A day to sit and think about all the things i have to be thankful for: the gospel, family, friends, health, and so much more
- All the wonderful food!
- Speding time with family
- Black Friday!
- Watching City lights with Alivia

Happy Birthday Sammy Doo!

Well what can i say i've known this girl for so many years now and she is the best friend anyone could ask for.I love you so much samantha and hope you had an amazing day!

Success!

First of all I have lost the cord that connects my camera to my computer so i can't put any pictures up and im pretty upset about it! All i have to say is that i had the best halloween... maybe because it couldn't get any worse than last years. We were going to school in Virginia and we lived in some apartments where i always saw kids waking around. So being my first year married i was so excited to get trick or treaters and hand out candy. I bought sooo much candy and waited on my couch for all the kids i was expecting, well i waited all night and not a single trick or treater! Thats probably why this year was such a success to me.. i had so many trick or treaters!! this all sounds so dumb but it made my year.. me and jason had so much fun seeing all the kids fun costumes and passing out candy

Family times

Jason has a rodeo in Oklahoma this weekend so we had to drive down to logandale to get his horses. This means that we've been able to be with our families which we love.. we went to my traditional birthday dinner and of course i choose to go to cheesecake factory cause its one of my favs.. heres some pics

On sunday everyone goes to my mom's house for dinner and after all the grandkids made halloween cookies and decorate them. they had so much fun. they are the cutest kids in the world and love them so much!

Jason's fantastic Birthday decorations!


Yesterday was my birthday and thanks to my amazing husband, and lots of family and friends i had such an great day! I was a little sad on saturday because it was the first birthday of my life that i didn't get to spend with my family but Jason more then pulled through. On Saturday we went to Vernal and he took me shopping, out to eat and to the movies. On sunday while we were at church he went home and decorated and got my cake out and when we got home i was so surprised.. he then cooked some steaks and invited our sister in law shelley and our two neices over along with our friends Jade & Maclee to eat. I am so blessed to have such great friends and family thank you for every phone call and text! thank you also to my sweet husband who put in so much time and effort to make it such a great day!

Fabulous Friday!

So i've been trying to find a job to keep me busy ever since we moved to roosevelt but it was hard for me to find one since we were always gone to rodeos and other places. SO then someone told me that i should substitute teach, i got all the information about it and i went and filled out all the paperwork. i was then just waiting for a teacher to call me to sub.. well it happened! i was called and i subbed at the junior high on friday for a 7th and 8th grade class. i was so nervous, but it ended up being great! i'll now be subbing whenever i can and i couldnt be more excited.

After that my friend Maclee had bunko and it was so much fun..it was halloween themed and we all dressed up like witches! everything was decorated so cute and everyone had a blast, thanks maclee for such a fun time

I love the fall!

I put the minimal amount of halloween decorations that we have up and it reminded me how excited i am for this time of year! im so excited for halloween, thanksgiving, than christmas...This is my favorite time of the year and I plan to enjoy it to the fullest!

Back Home...

We left Roosevelt 2 weeks ago and were only supposed to be gone 3 days and ended up staying in Logandale for a week and a half and had so much fun! Jason had rodeos in St. George and Pahrump, he worked in Vegas while we were there, We got to hang out with both of your families including my nephew Jesse's 3rd birthday party, and went to Casie Bleazard and Derek Jolley's wedding reception. It was so good to go home and see everyone and we can't wait untill next time!

Pictures from Jesse's B-day party..

Our Saturday.. and many to come

So if anyone else's husband is obsessed with football then you can sympathize with me.. it is now almost 9 and jason has been watching football games since 10 this morning! Here's to a long season!

Temple date!

We had the great oppurtunity of going to the temple last night. We live in Roosevelt, Ut which is like a half hour from Vernal and this is the temple in Vernal! Growing up in Vegas the temple is so close you don't realize what a blessing it is. When we lived in Virginia, the closest temple was in Washington, DC and it was 4 hours away which isn't that bad because alot of people in other countries have to travel for days to go to the temple.. I am so grateful to have a temple so close!

Provo

My little sis alivia moved up to Provo last week and im so excited! now she only lives two hours away from me! It seems like yesterday we were playing dress up and trying on my moms makeup and now she's this wonderful, beautiful, and extremely smart girl. She's my best friend and i love her so much!

After going to provo we drove up to salt lake and went to temple square. The Salt lake city temple is the most beautiful temple by far becuase of the sacrifice that was put into building it...

My Baby!

This is our love Sugar, she's a maltese.. we've had her for four months now and she is the funnest dog in the world and me and Jason love her so much. Both of us aren't even a dog fan but jason rodeos and works alot so im home alone a lot and she keeps me so much company! its pretty pathetic cause i can't even leave her for like a day without worrying if she's ok! but untill i have child, she's my baby for now!

Vacations!

I'm finally home in utah and got my internet to work! These last couple weeks have been crazy busy! First i went to vegas for one of my best friends weddings then to georgia to vist my grandparents, aunts, and cousins and while we were down there we went to panama city beach florida, and for the last couple days we've been driving all night to go to rodeos!

vegas- I can't even explain how much fun i had with my best friends. They have been such a blessing in my life and i really don't know where i would be without them. Rachel is one of them and married Spencer Orr on august 9. I am so happy for rach, she is such an awesome person and deserves all the happiness in the world!

Georgia- My mom is from Columbus, GA so I've gone back there almost every summer of my life to visit my grandparents and family there, its always been my 2nd home. I love my grandparents so much and its always to hard to say bye to them when i have to leave because i never know if its the last time i'll see them. My Grandfather has been such a blessing in my life because he was my priesthood example growing up, he would give me a blessing every year before school started and even gave me my patriachal blessin, he such an amazing man. My grandmother is absolutely hilarious and has the sweetest heart in the world. My family was down there also and it was so fun to spend time with them since i don't see them that often anymore.

Florida- Almost every summer when i visit my grandparents we drive down to florida to go to the beach. It is my favorite place in the world! Its so pretty, the water is so warm, the waves are so fun and the sand feels like powdered sugar. Jason had rodeos so he couldn't go to georgia but he flew down to florida for a couple days and we had so much fun playing in the ocean, building sand castles and spending time with my family.

River Rafting!!!!

This weekend was crazy busy but we had tons of fun! Jason had 4 rodeos in 3 days... Preston ID, Grace ID, Twin Falls ID, and Heber City UT... we didn't have a rodeo on Friday so we got to go to this place Lava Hot Springs and go tubing down this river, it was the funnest thing I've done in so long! You just rent these tubes and drive to the top of the river and go down these little waterfalls and rapids and try to stay on your tube.We travel with his partner Jade and his wife Maclee so we always have a couple to hang out and do fun things with. Theres nothing like this in vegas so its awesome to travel to different places and try new things... we had fun at the rodeos but this was definitely the highlight of the weekend!

Our Townhome!

This is our new cutie little town home ( ours is the one on the left) and i absolutely love it to death! it has 1 1/2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms( our bedroom, my facial room, and jason's hobby room). Maybe if i decorate in this lifetime i will show pictures of the inside, but that probably won't happen anytime soon... im very excited about it because if anyone knows me and jasons life, we have moved around a bunch and this is pretty much the first place we can call home... we now live in Roosevelt, Ut its 2 hours from provo.. its pretty small but its nice, theres a couple gas stations, an arby's, pizza hut, subway, and thats about it!!!

Rach is silly! Props to sam, for the construction of such an awesome hat!

I love bridal showers! Im very happy and excited for rach to get married, its just crazy how fast time flies by, it feels like we were in high school yesterday.. anyways it was way fun to see jilly, sam, and rach, i love them so much
