I guess I should update my blog! :)


Pictures of my grandparents! The picture of me and my grandma is my favoritest! I want a 5x7 copy of it(hint, hint- if Natalie is reading this...). And the one of my grandpa, I've never seen before, it's a cropped picture I found online, but I love it. He died 10 years ago the first week of February.


I just learned the pistachios are the cause of my cold sores! I had some on Christmas eve, got a cold sore Christmas day. Two days later had some more, got a cold sore the next day. Then last night I thought I'd hurry and eat the rest of them so I could throw away the bag. I got a cold sore today! I thought about getting a small pox shot, since I heard from a nurse that it helps prevent cold sores from recurring so often! But I don't know how true that is! Oh-well! It's my mom's fault! I don't think I've ever seen my dad with one.

This popped into my head today- While Cory and Natalie were here for Christmas, Abby was in the high chair and I was playing with Jameson laser pointer, and remembering how dogs and cats go crazy with the light, I thought I'd see if Abby would think anything of it. That was so much fun! We would move it all over the high chair tray and she'd reach for it, then we'd point it on her hand and she grab her hand. If you want to keep your kid entertained for a few minutes, get a laser pointer!

We really didn't pull out the camera a whole lot these last couple of weeks. But I like these pictures. They were taken on Sunday while we were visiting my grandma Toni. Wade's family was the only one missing! It was a fun visit!






I've been enjoying all this time off of work! I had to work a few hours on Christmas eve, but we went in around 10 am, and got off around 2. I think. I just know we weren't there til 4 like planned.
For Christmas I got a couple of lovely cold sores. I hate 'em! They are so ugly right now. One on the top lip and one on the bottom. :(
Oh and I FINALLY got a Carhartt coat, I have been begging for one for years, they are so warm. And it is probably my first coat ever- since I live in S. Utah all I've ever needed was jackets! Shellie got me a thing of chocolate covered almonds from Costco, which are my absolute favorite in the world! I refuse to share them!
Cory and Natalie surprised us Christmas day. My dad knew they were coming, I guessed about 20 minutes before they got here. That was super fun to have them here. Trent and Dani spend the weekend at our house so we could all hang out.
For Natalie's birthday we went out to dinner and her parents brought a guy with them from Croatia, they tried to hook us up. He was nice and really cute. Too bad he lives in another country.
We all went to church with my parents. I haven't been since Skylar's mission homecoming in May, so it was nice to see all these people I never see anymore. I don't know anyone in the ward anymore.

The warehouse shut down for new years eve and new years day. So I have another long weekend. We just hung out at home. I didn't want to go anywhere because of my cold sores. They really do look horrible. So I spent the night painting a few pieces of furniture and reading a book called Shattered Dreams by Irene Spencer(good book about the LeBaron family in Mexico). Today I finished the book and painted some more.
Well, that's the plan for my whole long weekend. I'm sure I could spend it better, but with these cold sores, yeah, I think I'll hang out here!
