At Last Christmas Pictures!

Jon and I took 2 1/2 weeks off to head to Utah and Colorado for the best Christmas Vacation Ever! I know that Christmas is long gone but it also looks like our camera cord that downloads our pictures to the computer is also long gone and it has taken me till now to find alternative measures. I now bring you to our Christmas Vacation!
First we spent time in Salt Lake with the Cook side for some parties.. in which I have no photos of but I am hoping to get some soon. Then we went to my sister Jill's house in Colorado where we played games, stayed up late, hot-tubed, played in the snow, working out.. you name it we did it, and then we stayed in the Nelson's sweet cabin in Hobble Creek(thank you thank you Nelsons) where we played massive amounts of guitar hero, played with friends and I watched Jon do cranberry shots every morning! It was a great time!

You may not know this but Jon was Santa this year!

Just call us crazy!

My first night in Grand Junction Colorado, my sister informs me... we are running tommorrow at 6 a.m., for those of you that know me that is already a crazy idea but I love the way you feel after running and wanted to go. We got up in the morning got dressed and in the car only to find out it was -1 Degrees outside.. and yes we still ran our 3 miles.

Here we all are before the run!

And the after photo... I think white mascara could be a really good look for me!

Turkey Weekend Fun

I know it's past Thanksgiving but Jon and I made Homemade Rolls as part of our feast and I have to post a picture due to the fact that we were so proud of ourselves. We did Thanksgiving with Amber and Chris and their family and also with another couple in the ward so we divided everything up. Jon and I cooked together from 11-3.. it made for some great memories! All of the food that was made was super delicious! The rest of the weekend Jon and I just relaxed and enjoyed the sun.. can you believe it is still warm here I am still in shock these pictures are from the end of November!

Craft world here I come??

So I would not consider myself in particular a crafty person but I sure am going to try! The other night I made these cute little hair clips with my friend Claire!They are so cute and so easy to make! So I also bought material and have great plans to make bibs, burp clothes, and aprons.. I'll keep you posted as to how that all goes!

Vote Tommorrow.. Yes on Prop 8

So here is a little picture of our lovely Prop 8 sign, this is our fourth sign as the rest have been stolen. This sign however lasted 2 weeks, we glued it to the wood, stapled it on, and then screwed it into the tree, I thought for sure this one would be the winner, but sadly to say last Friday it was spray painted. Don't worry though we now have our fifth and last sign way up in the tree, nobody will be able to touch this one! This week has been crazy as we have done two Prop 8 rally's, one on Saturday and one tonight, no matter what happens it just feels good to stand up for what you believe in.. Go Prop 8!!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is finally here! This morning we had a pumpkin pancake fest with our friends Kitta and Pete, it was a great way to kick off the day. Sorry it was early so I have no pictures of it to post. However I do have a picture of us carving pumpkins.. Jon and I have carved pumpkins twice this month and within two days they were moldy, I guess that is the trade off you get for having good weather!

Trail Running

Most Saturdays Jon and I explore for new sweet trail runs, there are so many around where we live but it's all about getting out and finding them. The trail in this picture is up Topanga Canyon, the trail takes you right out looking over the ocean, the cloud cover in the pictures is amazing. There are about 6 different trail runs up there, and a few are single track.. amazing!The best part is that normally this time in Utah when we are out running we have to layer all up and make sure the weather is okay... but here it's still 80-90 degrees, I am in love!
