EASTER EGG HUNT IN THE SNOW!

The Easter Bunny came to my house this year. Isaac, Chase, Kylie, Lilly, and Mason helped me find the eggs. There was quite a lot of snow on the ground. Yes, on April 2nd. The Easter Bunny did not want his paws to freeze so he just hid candy inside and filled plastic eggs on the porch and patio. It was so much fun!

CHRISTMAS 2009!

Here are the pictures I took at Christmas 2009! It was very fun! The most memorable thing I got was money toward a new viola that I bought. It is so much better than my old viola! The difference is night and day! I also got a really comfortable blanket and some clothes. I also got a tire gauge because I have driven on a flat tire at least once this year and wore all the tire off! I guess I needed it! Well, anyway, it was fun! It's been so long that I really don't remember all the details, but here are the pictures FINALLY!

HALLOWEEN!

This past Halloween was very fun! I was the devil! I have never been that before. I had a good time passing out candy to the about ten trick-or-treaters we had and to my neices and nephews. I also had a blast at my work Halloween party that my sister Becky and her family and my parents came to. This year they actually had games like a fish pond and a scary Halloween movie for the kids. I had fun saying "Just be bad. Everybody's doing it." My nieces and nephews had really cute costumes. I even made it to the Nightmare on Thirteenth haunted house this year! I carved a pumpkin as well. Here are some pictures from this Halloween.

The Fair!

I went to the Utah State Fair on September 19th. It was really fun! I saw the cows, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, and other stinky animals! I saw the butter sculpture. I also ate cotton candy. I saw an alligator show where a little girl from the audience came and sat on one of the alligators, while one of the keepers held it's mouth closed of course! One of the keepers stuck his hand inside the alligator's mouth and touched the top of it's mouth real quick before it snapped it's jaws shut again. Scary! The funnest part of the fair for me this year was the Bear Show. They had bears who could climb on top of a ball and turn around on it. There were also bears who could play basketball and climb ladders. Some of the bears also participated in a ring toss game. It was very entertaining! After the show, they were taking pictures with the bears. This is me with a brown bear. Yes, he's real. But, don't worry. He's behind a fence!

Mom's Birthday!

My mom's birthday is August 10th. This year Sarah, Mason, Becky, Isaac, Chase, Kylie, Lilly and I spent the day with her at Hollywood Connection. They have a whole bunch of really cool rides. Adults can go on quite a few of them. I went on a roller coaster type ride with Kylie and Chase. We all had fun on the merry-go-round. Mason especially loved it! We also went miniature golfing there. I like to miniature golf there because the ball will go flying very far if you barely tap it! They also had arcade games. I won a plazma ball with all my tickets. We had refreshments in the ice cream shop and sang happy birthday to my mom. Nobody was actually working in the shop at the time so we couldn't buy anything there, but we had brought our own food so that was okay. I had so much fun and I hope my mom had a fabulous birthday!

Kylie's Fourth Birthday!

My niece Kylie turned four on July 29th. We had a family party at her house. She also had a water party with her friends. Of course she had a princess cake! She also got a pink princess power cruser that she and Lilly are always riding! Kylie is definitely a girl! She loves to play barbies with me and especially likes to fix the barbies hair. She is always wearing pretty outfits with all sorts of flowers, bows, and ribbons on them. I call her my little princess! We had so much fun at her party! She has a swing set with a slide, a trampoline, a huge wading pool, and a hammock in her backyard. She got some really awesome things for her birthday! I gave her a srawberry shortcake doll! I love you Kylie! Happy Fourth Birthday!

My 35Th Birthday!

I turned 35 big ones on July 5. I don't look that old do I? I had to work on my actual birthday, but I had July 4th off, so I took advantage of the free time and went to Raging Waters! It was so much fun! I hadn't been there since I was about twelve years old! I remembered some of the slides like white lightning and blue thunder. One slide that required you to use a slide and had a very big drop off was very scary! I liked the lazy river. The water park didn't seem as big as I remembered, but I guess that is because I was smaller.
That night my parents took me to Chili's and then we watched fireworks at Holladay Elementary.
I had to work on my birthday, but they sang happy birthday to me at lunch and some people gave me cards and presents. I worked untill seven and then I came home to a beautiful cake with flowers and a butterfly and presents. It was great!
Then the next Saturday we had a family party at my brother and sister-in-law Steve and Katy's pool. It was so much fun! I always look forward to that! I love swimming and I just love to be with my family and play with my neices and nephews! Kylie was teaching me how to breathe under water and pulling me around in the kiddie pool! I went in the large pool with Isaac and Chase, and the hot tub! Wonderful! My wonderful family sang happy birthday to me. We had dinner and a cake with balloons on it! I also recieved so many fabulous presents! Here's to being old!
