Sugar Bowl

Scott and I are headed to the Sugar Bowl tomorrow to watch the Utes kick Alabama's ass!!! GO UTES!!!!

So this blog is turning out to be a photo blog rather than a blog blog. While in New York my friend called me a camera slut....because thats all I do is take photos. (You would think I would be a scrapbooker...oh vey! no no no!) Maybe today I will just type instead of download another picture.

It is Christmas vacation.... Well for the girls and Scott. Since changing jobs/careers... I no longer have the nice Christmas vacation days off. Being a teacher has benefits of never working a holiday, unless its the 24th of july when school usually starts the next day. I taught at a year round school for 6 years and it was never a holiday. I worked this past Christmas, I will work on New Years. Which brings up another thing I'm missing.....going to the Sugar Bowl. I work for an airline... so that we can go fun places....the sugar bowl definitely fits that category. However I can't get the day off. The flights are looking full....and we have been too many places lately without the girls...and one more vacation without them....might be too much. So we will be watching the Utes from home. Sad.... sad... sad. It will be the last time to see some of the players all together on one team. I really have loved our season tickets this year and the 2008 team. Cant wait till fall! Well Scott still might head down to the game without me. I keep telling him he should go. I was able to get him a Utah football helmet for Christmas signed by Coach Whittingham. He would really like to get some of the players to sign it. Going to the Sugar Bowl would be the place to do it. We will see if he will go anywhere without me. He said he wants to watch the game with me. (some people say we are joined at the hip) I told him that i have been on 4 vacations without him this year....he needs to go on at least one. But that's what i love about him.....he needs me.

Its almost Christmas....

Aunt Kacey gives the girls a gingerbread house every year at Christmas time. We love putting it together and then Madison loves sneaking candy off of it until I throw it away. Notice the posing of our showcase models! They are sooo cute! Also pay close attention to Madison's bangs she cut for herself a couple months ago. Lovely!!

If You Could Hear Her Now......

Madison is at the piano and singing Amazing Grace.....but the second verse goes like this "and the rockets red glare....!" Oh she is sooooo funny.

Santa Claus

I am stealing this line from another blog I saw....but I love it!
We wish Ute a Merry Christmas!

Wheeeeee!

So Cheryl emailed her Christmas letter yesterday and I had forgotten about is photo. We were visiting Cheryl over Labor Day when the kids wanted to go out on the lake. The boat was having issues.... so Jeff tied the tube up to his kayak and gave them a ride around the lake. It was sooooo funny to watch. If you look closely he also gave them the total experience by splashing them along the way! Thanks Jeff....you're such a good cousin! We love you!

Madison and Alexandra

Just a cute picture of the girls. They love to play in the snow.....brrrrrr!

Let it Snow....

So I have become a snow blower widow. Scott couldn't wait for the snow storm to come today to use his new machine. He has been outside all day looking for any ones driveway that hasn't been shoveled. I think he has even snowblowed (is that a word?) some of the street.

Santa is Real

We went to Gardener Village last week and look what I found.....I'm on the naughty list.

NYC

Here are some pictures from New York. We had so much fun!

Shopping on Canal St. Scott said "i hope you didnt buy that barret!" I did and I look so cute!


Rockefeller Tree

Some nice lady took our picture in front of the Rockefeller tree...but where is the tree??

Il Corrallo in Soho

I love New York! We did our typical trip this weekend. Marriott Marquis, Canal Street, Il Corrallo in Soho, Canal St, Time Square, Sephora, Taxi's, LIRR, the subway, Central Park, Macy's windows and new this time....The Rockefeller tree! We tried to see the Rockettes....however we spent too much time down on Canal Street. The weather was amazing for our trip! 69 degrees on the way to the airport Monday! It was soooo nice.

Start Spreading the News!

Yep off to NYC again, not to mention by myself. Yippee! Since I started at working for an airline I have wanted to go to New York during December. I have been twice in November and once in January......tomorrow morning I will be there!!!! (Thanks again Scott!) I can't wait to see the Rockefeller tree, Macy's windows....oh and shopping on Canal Street!

Tom Cracroft

Tonight we are going to the Festival of Trees. One of our friends passed away this summer while competing in a triathalon. There is a tree at the festival dedicated to him. Look for it if you are able to attend. We miss you Tom.....We thought about you this past Thanksgiving as we celebrated 6 years in our home. It was 6 years ago on Thanksgiving that Tom and Pat spent the morning painting our family room the day before we moved into our new house. Love you Pat!!

Here it is! Thanks Scott! Okay now you can get a dog. Yep that was the agreement.......When I get my entertainment center we can get another dog. Scott bought his big T.V. last year, the day after Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving this year I got my entertainment center. (Rocco was stolen 2 years ago) So it didn't take long, Scott was online looking for dogs last night.

YEA!!!

The new furniture is being delivered right now!!!!!!
