VIP Museum Event

At the end of January we went to Kelsey's big opening of Wolf to Woof at the museum. We had a great time seeing all of the exhibit, eating good food, chatting with friends, and of course playing carnival games. Kels did a fabulous job at the event!

Friends

For a playoff game some friends came over and at the end (don't remember what prompted the pics) we took some funny pics! So there is Jake and Aaron in their vikings gear. Then there is Jill and I being goofy!

My Birthday In Idaho Falls

Well the new year has official started. We came back to Idaho Falls after a great Christmas in Malta with Jake's family. Jake and Kels were so nice to have a birthday party for me in Idaho Falls since we were in Malta on my real birthday. We started out the night at my favorite dinner spot, Texas Roadhouse! Then we went to the Salsberys where there was a huge assortment of all my favorite desserts. It had a funfetti cake made by Jake complete with pink, yellow, and orange frosting and Winnie-the-Pooh candles! Other highlights were carrot cake cupcakes, funfetti cupcakes, and Aaron's special appledeliciouness!!! And of course Kels had it all decorated in pink! I had so much fun and feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Christmas In Malta

For Christmas this year we went to Jake's home town of Malta! We had a blast visiting family, relaxing, and doing lots of fun activities. We started out the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Kelly and Colleen and the three puppies. We had a great time cooking, opening presents, going to church, eating, and relaxing. Then we headed off to Helena for the weekend to go to our nephew's, Kellen, baptism. It was very special to see him baptized and we also got to spend lots of time with Kenny and Diedra. Then is was back to Malta for the week where Colleen taught me how to knit and other than that we just relaxed and it was fabulous! We went to the King's house for a New Year's Eve party. We ate shrimp and prime rib, played games, went to the bars a little bit, and even went caroling at midnight! It was a great vacation!

New Years and My Birthday

On January 1st I turned 26. Oh my how time flies. I had a great birthday with my love (Jake) and family. We started out the morning with present...can't go wrong there! Then we watch some movies and relaxed. Then Jake had a birthday party for me and Cathy Salz made me a delicious wedding/birthday cake! We ended the night with many games and Mario Brothers on the Wii until 3 am! It was a great day!
