Wii !!!!!!

We got home from our vacation on New Year's Eve. So I immediately made Steve open his Christmas present. I'd been keeping this secret for about a month and it was killing me! It was especially hard since we played the Wii alot while we were in Indiana. I kept having to say things like, "Well maybe we can get a Wii from our tax return" or "When we're rich we'll get a Wii."

But little did he know that I had a little extra saved up by a twist of fate. And I got him a Wii!!! For the first time since we've been married, I actually surprised him with a gift! It. was. AWESOME!!! And needless to say, he was really excited about it!

I also have a video of him opening the gift and being really surprised, but videos won't work. So, we'll see what happens.

Wiiiiiiiiiiii !!!!!!!!!

Treasures

One of the best parts about the holidays is getting to be with friends and family a whole lot!!!

We got to see aunts and cousins! (And now Jenny had her baby and I can't wait until we can meet HIM!)

Of course, we had a meeting of friends at Monical's! That was a heap of fun! The 3 Amigos!

And friend! [hehe]

Then when we were leaving Monical's another night, we randomly saw THESE GUYS!!! That was awesome!

The night before we left we played Just Dance and then decided to take some fun pictures!

(I LOVE that sweet little grin with the slightly Asian looking eyes! Wait... a blonde Asian??)

The boy that amazes me with how he's grown. I think it's just because he was the first nephew, and I remember back in the day when he was just born. And that's weird, like whoa.

The girl that gave me a FANTASTIC manicure with sparkly nail polish.

The boy that cracked us up with his jumping bean feet when we plays video games. Sooo silly!

Oh, family!

And this is the nerd brother. [teehee] I think he was trying out our new camera and the front screen thing where you can look at yourself.

JUST DANCE!

One of the presents that my nieces and nephews got for Christmas was Just Dance 2. So, of course, we had to try it out!!!

Look at those SKILLZZZ!!!

I was amazed by some of the scores these kids were getting on this game! It was nuts!

Even Grandpa got in on some of the fun of dancing. But he was cheating a little bit...


And then we did some boxing. That game tires you out after just one round!

So we had lots of fun playing the Wii!

I tried to put one of the videos of us dancing on here. But it just freezes the whole thing and won't even let me post it. So I'll have to try again another time.

Indy Christmas!

Well, we were lucky and able to get enough work off to go to Indiana for Christmas this year. I'll probably be the last trip for a while because we're planning on going to school during the summers until we are totally done!

So here we are on Christmas morning. We look so glamorous!

I got the family picture calendar! I was excited because last year mine got lost in the mail! I've enjoyed using it so far this year! :)

Steven and Dad got pillow ties from the family. Sooo funny!!! And Steve just wore it to church last week and was showing it off to all his friends.

Here is just me and mom being friends. Woo!!!

I couldn't decide which cute pictures to put up of all the kids, so I just chose none. But they are in lots of pictures later, so it'll all work out.

P.S. I got a new camera for Christmas! So now I can learn all the cool things it does and make better pictures!! YAY!

Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was pretty relaxed and lots of fun. We went over to our Aunt and Uncle and ate and played games. It was fun just to hang out.
But we were assigned to bring rolls for the dinner. And we got the frozen kind that come in little balls of dough. We decided to make them 2 two a cupcake cup like the instructions say, instead of a whole bunch in a pan. After they had risen for a while, we got this Thanksgiving surprise in our kitchen! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

They did taste delicious though!

Please excuse us...

No, we did not pass gas.

But you must excuse the lack in blogs lately. We have things to share, just not enough time or energy to share it yet. I'm hoping to catch up over the long weekend for Thanksgiving. [Although I still have many things to do over the long weekend.]

We've just been studying, working, taking tests, sleeping, and then starting all over again. It's absolutely insane and our house always seems like a disaster zone. Once again, something I can do over the weekend, right?

I hope you are all doing well and are ready for this weekend of gratitude! Hopefully we can update you on our oh-so-exciting [but not so exciting] life! :)

Halloween Fun

This semseter has been so busy that we really had to work to get carving pumpkins to fit in the schedule. It was really squeezed in. So here we are.


My stencil.

He's observing the damage.

Hard work!

Steve's bat.

My owl.

Friends.

We were supposed to add twigs so it looked like my owl was sitting on a branch and like Steve's bat was hanging from a tree. But we were satisfied with them like this.

We also got some candles on clearance ON Halloween because we forgot to buy some earlier. And we were actually excited about them because they said they were supposed to "fog" when they were lit. Do you think that ever happened? No. At least they were on clearance.

Friends foreverrrr!

We went to Will and Kristin's for a party and I had to ask Kaydence to model her butterfly costume for me. It was pretty cute. It helps when you have a cute girl in the costume.And the wings.

Steve's work let them dress up the day before Halloween. He decided to be a tourist. We had another party that night where I dressed as a tourist too. But we forgot to get a picture. :( We were one hot couple, let me tell ya. [Don't you LOVE the socks with the flip-flops? Even though you can't see it, his socks are Mt. Rushmore socks. We put alot of thought into this!]

Hope you had fun collecting candy! :)
