WE ARE CRAZY!



We just bought this new TV on black Friday! Ryan has been wanting to get one for over a month now! I finally gave in and said that I would enjoy one too. The other tv that we had was about 15 years old and buttons were missing on it. So we decided that this would be our Christmas present this year!
It is fun to watch movies on it. We have watched plenty of those and we have only had it for a week! I love it but I can't believe that we actually got one! We need to get a new entertainment center for it. We put it on our dining room table for right now! It works!
I was really nervous to buy it. Jared and Ace were with us and they helped to calm me down while we were in the store buying it. We got a good deal on it! I'm glad we did it, now we need to have our friends over to watch movies with us. We are CRAZY!! It is fun to do little adventures like this every now and then!
Bob and Janet tried to hide it from us when we were leaving on Sunday!:) Their going to have to go and get one now that they have seen ours. Jared and Ace have the same tv, we copied them!:) My thoughts are all over the place right now, can you tell! We love it and I am glad that we did this!


CHRISTMAS TIME!!!




So here are our Christmas trees. Yes we set these up really early. I was excited to put them up. We aren't finished decorating one of them. But I wanted to put them up on our blog so that everyone could see them. I love coming home and turning on the lights on both trees and just enjoying them! I know I have said this before but this is my favorite holiday! The awesome thing about both of these trees is that they are prelit. So we didn't even have to put the lights on them. We sound lazy but it makes putting up the Christmas trees so easy! We are going to have to get more Christmas decorations and once the trees are done I will have to post the finished Christmas trees. I'm lucky that I have a husband who is willing to let me get so much stuff for Christmas. He actually likes having two Christmas trees!:)





CHRISTMAS TREE ADVENTURE!!!

Here's our adventure cutting down the Christmas trees this year! Ryan and I didn't get one becaue we have 2 fake trees! We love them. But we had so much fun doing this with the everyone else!











Here are some of the attempts made to get up the mountain to the perfect Christmas Tree! It was funny to watch them. It was slick going up it so it was hard for Ryan, Jared, and Bob, but Ace made it up there just fine!:) She showed them! But it was funny watching Jared and Ace bring down their Christmas tree! You can see it in one of these pictures!









You can see the tree that Jared and Ace picked out. It is an awesome tree. It is huge. I just saw it yesturday in their house and I love it. Bob and Karina picked a great one too for them. I think that this is a fun tradition that the Jenks do every year. We were glad that there was snow there where we got the Christmas trees! It was cold but even though it was cold outside we made our usual stop at the square ice cream store. That was YUMMY! We also ate some turkey noodle soup on the mountain that was great to eat because it warmed us up. We had so much fun hiking around in the snow. We didn't get to see any wildlife. That was fun when we saw the moose and her baby a couple of years ago.
That is our adventure going up to the Christmas trees this year. We had a great time up there!

ANOTHER RACE!










This was a race that we did in October! It was called the Red Ribbon Run. Run to be Drug Free! We had so much fun with this race. This race was the best race that I have ever run! The picture above is of our friends Stacy, Dan, and Stacy's sister (I can't remember her name). They ran the race with us. Also Karina, Jared, and Ace did it. No one won anything at this race. We were all hoping for something. I love doing the 5k's. I will always stick with doing 5k's and nothing else.
By the way Ash how do you get such cute borders for your blog? I love them and I want to put a Christmas one up for the holidays!

HIKE!








I was looking at our pictures and I thought that I would blog these ones!
This is a hike that Karina, Ryan, and I went on up to the wind caves in Logan Canyon. It was a fun hike!









I was searching for leaves while we were on the hike. Karina was helping me! I think Ryan just wanted to get to the top! But we were having fun!




I was successful as you can see in getting the leaves that I wanted! I carried those the whole four miles that we hiked! I was determined to get them home!







Here's Karina and me at the top of the hike! We are in one of the wind caves! We got to the top and it was getting dark. We didn't stay for very long because we didn't want to hike back down the mountain in the dark, but we did anyways! I was so scared to hike in the dark. For most of the way we were running down the mountain because I just wanted to get home!

Here's a picture of the wind caves! I love nature when the leaves are starting to change. Now all of the leaves are all gone of course!
I just thought that I would share some photos from a while ago! It is fun to keep updated this way!

CRAZY WEATHER!















Okay so now that I know how to do pictures I love this blogging thing! I am addicted to it. I just thought I would share these pictures to show you the crazy weather that we get sometimes. We went to Salt Lake for Conference and for our anniversary and this is what the weather was like driving through Sardine Canyon! But now we don't have any snow and I am ready for the snow to come for Christmas! I love this time of year if you can't tell!
