California or Bust

This past weekend we took a fun trip down to California to attend Trenton Adams (Adam's cousin) wedding. We enjoyed spending the weekend down there and enjoyed the fun memories that were made.
I was roommates with Bride's cousin Lisa Magnusson, so we spent a lot of time with the Bride's family too. We got the best of both sides.


We were so excited to test out the timer on the camera that we tried it out in the car on our way to California.

Smiles abound as these two men enjoy the evening.

On the way back we played two great games of miniature golf.

Difficult shot, will he make it?

No comment, words can't explain why I was beating this pole.

Morgan's awesome golf skills.

The week of Christmas!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful...
It snowed and snowed and snowed and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Christmas Day involved opening gifts, hugs, and chocolate.

Throughout the rest of the week we just had enjoyable moments with family.

Oh Christmas Eve.......

Wow! The time has just flown by but I wanted to post on what a fun Christmas eve we had.

The afternoon began with hot and cold flashes...Let me explain. My family loves going to Crystal Hot Springs in Honeyville, UT and we ventured over there Christmas Eve. They have these HOT, HOT, HOT Springs that are so nice to sit in on a cold wintery day. While enjoying the springs, my brother suggested going on the waterslide.

So we began our sojourn to the top of the water slide, barefoot mind you, walking over ice, salt (which was put down to melt the ice), and was accompanied by a breeze trying to kill us all.

Step after step, we went up the icicle clad stairs until finally we were all screaming at each other to go down the slide (OK, so it was just me screaming). IT WAS FREAKING COLD!!!!!!!!!! We all screamed the whole way down.

GUESS WHAT!!! WE DID IT MULTIPLES TIMES. YES, WE ARE OFFICIALLY CRAZY!!

Just a note, do not jump into the Hot Springs after going down a cold water slide. Slowly acclimate yourself.

We finished off our adventure at the hot springs with Big Stick Popsicles in the middle of winter.

YUMMY!!

I wish we had pictures, but alas we don't so enjoy some of the wonderful pictures from that evening.

Every year my family acts out the Nativity Scene, so here is the annual picture.

Grandma Grover spent the evening with us and enjoyed every moment.

Adam and I took a picture with the pajama gang.

What a fun day and night!

Winter Wonderland

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!!

Holy Smokes. It snowed and I was so excited. I have missed the snow so much that it began snowing I let out a squeal. The only drawback is no one knows how to drive in the snow. AH Well. You can't have it all. At least this snowstorm will hold me over until we go to Utah next week.

All the palm trees reminded me of Alfalfa from little rascals. All they have sticking up is a leaf.

What I am thankful for :)

Thanksgiving was wonderful this year! Adam and I spent it here in Henderson with his family. We had wonderful food and a fun time.

Here are a few pictures from the fun event.

I am thankful for family. They are truly a blessing in my life.

MONKEY????

A stuffed monkey was given to me as a gift for unknown reasons, but now I continually have this song stuck in my head. So I wanted share the joy.......

ENJOY!!!!

RIP................

Well, I must say that salsa truly looks like blood. One Saturday, while enjoying the evening with Adam and making some delicious tacos, I spilled a very huge container of salsa in the kitchen. (Just so everyone knows, those plastic containers are very breakable when accidentally dropped.)



The salsa went everywhere in the kitchen. It was on the blinds, under the stove, you name it and it was there. I just laughed and Adam grabbed the camera ......and so I present the gruesome deaths of Adam and Heather.




It was quite the night!!! My sweet husband cleaned up the mess while
I finished making dinner.

Whose death looks more real?
