Goodbye 2009!
and
Happy New Year Everyone!
Boy am I glad that 2009 is over, it was probably the hardest year of my life, but there were still a lot of good things too. But, watch out 2010 here we come! I am so excited for this year! There is only 7 weeks til Branden comes home!!!!!! I am heading back to the frozen tundra next week and I am not too excited about it. The only good thing about it is that it means that Branden will be home soon! Here are some pictures of new years eve, I went to Branden's parents house and we ate dinner of course and had an early new year celebration at 8:00pm so the kids could go to bed on time. Some of us adults stayed up til midnight talking and playing games, it was fun!
This aparatus full of cany and baloons is something Branden's mom came up with which was dropped down at our fake midnight, the kids loved it!
Actually Blake and Brian might have like it more than the kids! Here they all are trying to get as much candy as they can!
This kids also got noise makers and hats...they had a blast with them!
Here is Luke...
and Cohen and Alicey!

I also went snowboarding or should I say snowfalling a couple of weeks ago with a friend from Alaska whose family also lives in Utah.
Here are a few pics of me making a fool of myself!


The sunset really was the best part, and it alone was worth my $15!
It was georgeous!! This picture doesn't even do it justice!


It was fun, but I was REALLY hurting for a couple of days after! Thanks Steph for putting up with my falling down the mountain!
And, a couple of days ago I went to dinner with my friends, I am so glad we were FINALLY able to get everyone together! Everyone is so busy , but it is nice to hear what eveyone is up to! I am glad I have such good friends, hopefully we will be doing this until we are all grandmas!
Here is Natalie, Ashlee, Tiffany, Melissa, and Erika
Well, that's it for now! I hope everyone has a fantastic new year!

Christmas Festivities

Okay so this post is way late, but I had a mishap with my memory card with all my photos on it which I just barely figured out how to fix. Anyways starting with Christmas eve, here I am with my brothers and my Dad and Ashlee and Carter. We had a really good dinner that my dad and I cooked, and then we played a few games. It was a really fun night especially playing the games... I have never laughed so hard in my life!

Next is Christmas morning, Keaton, Jeremy, and I went over to my Dad's house and ate breakfast and opened presents.

We opened presents at my mom and Dave's Christmas Day... and afterwards we went to Grandpa and Grandma Carters and ate lunch, opened presents, and hung out.

Jeremy with his present....money towards a plasma TV!

This is my new coat I got! (Thanks mom and Dave!)

Later I went over to the Binghams and we ate dinner and played Scum. Scum was really fun, I got some bord games which unfortunately I had to return because they were to big to bring back to Alaska, darn it we love board games! (Thanks Elden and Sheri for the gift!)




The tuesday after Christmas we had the Jones Family Christmas party.

Keaton won the door prize....a remote control truck! Look how excited he is!! Ha Ha
