Surprise!!

I always LOVE to surprise Brandon for his birthday and Christmas with something he's been wanting for a while that's a little "bigger". He had yet to do it for me---until Saturday. Our 6 year anniversary was on Sunday and we decided to celebrate it on Saturday. Brandon said he wanted to plan the whole thing--I know, a shocker--sooo not like my hubby. I was excited. An hour before our "date" I took the kiddos over to my in-laws and stuck around for a while while Brandon got some things ready.


I went over to get him at 5 and we headed out for some Chinese Take out--I thought he had decorated the house and we were getting the food to go. We did get it to go--and when we got home, he made me close my eyes and he led me to the back room. There, he gave me a present-- my Prestige video. I was a little confused as it was our copy. Here I am thinking, "does he not know we own it???" Then he said, "Do you remember saying that Prestige was the first movie you wanted to watch on our plasma?" I was like, WHAT?????? He opened the door and I ran to the living room to find this:



A 50" Plasma----for us!! Man oh man, was I floored!! We ate our chinese food, toasted our 6 wonderful years of marriage with some sparkling cider, and we watched Eagle Eye (that Brandon had rented earlier) on our new TV. When Logan came home and saw it he said, "WOW, a movie theater!!" hehe On sunday we watched Kung Fu Panda as a family at our "theater". So cool.

Thanks Brandon for a wonderful surprise-- I really had no idea!!
I love you so much and am grateful for the past 6 years we've had--here's to another 6 baby!!

What a week!

The wedding then Christmas--we've had our hands full. Brandon's parents came up for the week of Christmas so we've been spending all our time over at his parents house with them. Kort (Brandon's cousin) got Rockband and we had fun jammin' to some tunes--and we got a little addicted. hehe

We had a wonderful Christmas--I hope all of you did!! Logan and Landen got totally spoiled--as did I. Some of Logan's favorite gifts: his new Cowboy jammies from Oma and Poppie, Hot Wheels Trick Track, Kung Fu Panda, and a Car's sleeping bag. My favorite gifts: my new kitchen aide, a new mustard yellow sweater, a cake mix cook book, and scrapbooking paper. I got Brandon all the season's of The Office with a matching calendar and The Office Trivia Game. I could hardly sleep the night before, I was so excited about Logan finding his Stocking and presents from Santa. Here's some fun pictures from our holiday!

The boys new jammies:

A stocking loaded with fun stuff!

Always gotta get a picture of a bow on someone's head right??
Me and my new cookbook I've been wanting-- Rice Krispie Marshmallow chocolate cake, now doesn't that sound like heaven???

He got his Hot Wheels!!
Wonder who will win the first game!?
Logan got lots of new movies
Hope all of you that have time off enjoy it--Brandon's back at work. It's like 40 degrees today so I think we'll go play in the snow. Off to Walmart for a pair of little mittens!

whew.

Ali's wedding went really well. We had a wonderful day. I always ball like a baby when I attend Temple sealings--didn't cry at my own wedding, but everyone else's--the waterworks start goin'! ALi looked stunning and Josh was as handsome as can be. I think they had a wonderful day--I hope they never forget it! The reception went well--here's some pictures.

Okay, how handsome are my boys???? Logan and Parker decided it was time to slide down the ramp at the reception--lucky we didn't get any holes in the knees.


Brandon got a good one of me.

The cake


Me and the cake--it's finally done!

Ali and Josh--aren't they so adorable together??

Are you really kidding me? or as Brit would say, "REALLY?"

Okay--how dorky does Logan look in these pictures??? What's with that smile? Brandon and I sat with candy trying to get him to do a normal smile and this is what we get--a fat lip. Later that night Logan complained that his lips were hurting--they were chapped. kinda explains it. Well, so much for darling christmas card pictures!

A glitterific christmas

Logan and I have been doing lots of glitter projects this season--much to daddy's disappointment. He doesn't like sitting in a pile of glitter Logan has dumped on the kitchen chairs. hehe But we've been having fun making everything sparkle!! I'm just loving that he gets excited when I come up with new crafts and art projects to do.



This is a really busy week for me. Ali is getting married on Saturday and I'm doing the cake, an advice book, helping with the photography, and helping make the food... a little stressed. I'll be excited when this week is over!

Just what I always wanted!

As my baby brother would say! My mom and dad got us this GORGEOUS nativity this year for Christmas. I've always wanted theirs, but Costco quit selling them. This year they had a special Edition one, and I'm lucky enough to get it!! I've threatened Logan that if he touches it, he just might loose an arm ;) !!

Look how pretty!!!
