Motab Christmas Concert

Last night Spencer and I went with his brother and his wife to the Motab Christmas Concert! We first met and had dinner and then instead of driving, we road the Frontrunner train to downtown Salt Lake and then switched to the Trax train to get to the concert. The concert was a lot of fun!! Afterward, we were able to walk through temple square and get pictures!! Then we all thought we were good with timing with Trax and Frontrunner, but come to find out, after we had taken Trax to get to Frontrunner, we missed the one we wanted! We had to wait almost 90 minutes until the next one which was the last one...aahh, memories, haha!! Luckily, there was a bus station to wait at so we didn't freeze!! It was a lot of fun and we laughed all night!!

Riding to the concert!!

Enjoying the lights at Temple Square, love this time of year!!

No big deal...just missed our train and have to wait almost 90 minutes...aahh, memories!!

Many reasons why I love this man!! Spencer is always so willing to serve!!

Family/hair

Yesterday, I spent the morning with my oldest sister's kids as they were waking up and getting ready for school! I love and adore them and cannot believe they are growing up so fast!! Then my sister and I went to her salon and she did my hair! She darkened my melt and I am in love!! She is so talented! I love my family oh so much!!

Here I am with my nieces!! I love them so much as if they were my own!!

Here is a picture of my melt when my sister was done! Once again, she is so talented! 

Santa!!

Every year Santa visits our neighborhood! It is so fun to see all the kids get excited!! The fire truck sirens sound and he throws them candy!! I love it!! This year it was snowing like crazy and we let our dogs out to play and they got just as excited for Santa...I'm pretty sure ;)



Playing at the park!

Sash loves to hunt even when we're not hunting...silly girl! She found a rabbit by the park, she was proud!!

Waiting for Santa!!

 

Santa visiting our neighborhood, so much fun!!

Tis the Season

I love this time of year and love to decorate my home just like my mom always did!! I held out until Thanksgiving was over because I never want to forget what an important holiday it is, but at times it got tempting with everyone starting to decorate for Christmas around me! I love a clean house, Christmas tree lit, and cuddling with my husband and doggie dogs while watching a movie and eating snacks!! We actually watched Hunger Games for the first time after all the decorations were up, I know! Where have we been??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10k race

Thanksgiving morning Spencer and I woke up bright and early to meet up with my mom and brother in law to run in The Human Race. My brother in law owns Port of Subs and was sponsoring so how could we turn it down, lol?! At least that's what I told myself, hehe! We were wanting to run the 10k. I was so excited, but also a bit nervous because I have done 5k's, but never a 10k. The night before, we found out my brother in law's brother accidentally signed us all up for the 5k, so the nerves left and I was ready to run!! Well, we all met up at the race bright and early and it is so cold (I'm literally shivering, eek!), but we are excited and ready!! We got there early and the 10k had not even started yet, so of course when they announce the 10k runners to start lining up at the start line, we all look at each other and say let's go!! If I could describe my family with one story, this would be a good one! We are always up for the challenge and definitely encourage each and every one!! None of us thought we were running over 6 miles that morning when we first got there, but we did and we all did awesome. I love running with my mom! She's my fav!! I just adore her! I get my pace from her and I'm proud :) Spencer and my brother in law were way ahead of us from the get go. They're amazing!! I love my family so much and had so much fun with them during the race!! I cannot wait to do it again!!

Later, we all had Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house. It was so fun and delicious!!

I love this time of year and being able to spend it with family!! We have so much to be thankful for!!
