Christmas morning

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here are some pictures from this Christmas. We spent time in Seattle visiting with Steve's family the second week of December and then spend Christmas in Colorado. Santa came to our big family Christmas party this year at the Thulin's house. This was a surprise for everyone and really made the party fun. Santa brought a present for each of the children and we all got to sit on his lap. Steve and I went on a date while we were up in Seattle. We went to Aki, my favorite place in Seattle and Karry Park were Steve proposed to me. We had a great time eating at places we use to love to go to. We had a great time visiting with family and seeing Seattle.

I have attached a video of Santa and a Halo video Steve and Mykie made using his laser tag guns he got for Christmas. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.

Quilting Block

Steve's older sister Melissa is pregnant and she is due in February. We are going to through her a baby shower when we all get together in December for Christmas. Julie, is Steve's younger sister decided for her baby shower that we would make her a quilt. Julie decided that it would be fun to have all the sisters' and her mom each make a quilt block then she would sew them all together to make Melissa a baby blanket. This was such a cute idea, I can not wait to see the finished product. I feel pretty proud of myself because I have not done a lot of quilting before I took on this project. With the help from my mother in law and Julie over the phone I was able to teach myself how to make this block. It was challenging but I think it turned out great even with the imperfections.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This weekend was our "Trunk or Treat" at the church. One of the items we signed up for was a cake for the cake walk. I was at Target and saw this pumpkin tin that had a rice krispi treat cake on the picture. I thought I could do that. I am proud of the way my cake turned out. Everyone at the Halloween party wanted my cake and kept asking me about how I made it. I felt good that for once I could make something and it turned out good. I posted a picture below. Also is a picture of Mykie and ty one of his friends that live in our apartment complex that came with us. Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!! :)

Two Years!!

This last Tuesday Steve and I celebrated our second anniversary. Our anniversary always seems to land on a Sunday or a day of the week so we usually do not get to do very much but we had a great anniversary despite that. The weekend before our anniversary,Steve took me to one of my favorite restaurants called the Melting Pot, everything there is fondue. So yummy..... Then we stayed in a very nice hotel and of course it had a big screen T.V. Steve wished he could have taken it home with us. Then this last Tuesday, on our anniversary, Steve took me to a little restaurant in Denver called Tables. It is very good food as well. Steve brought me home roses and some Reese's peanut butter cups. It was a great anniversary. Time seems to fly so fast, can't believe it has been two years already.

Update!

I figured I would give an update since I have not posted anything for a while. I have finally finished school completely!!! I finished my last class on September 15, 2008. For my birthday present Steve got me Carrie Underwood concerts tickets and flew Clarissa up here to go to the concert with me. Clarissa flew up here the day after I finished my class. We had a great time and I got to spend time with Caily her 9 month old too. Below is a picture of us at the concert and then at the very bottom are pictures of Steve and Caily. Steve babysat for us and Caily was not too excited about it, as you can tell by the pictures but I thought they were kind of funny still so I wanted to post them. Also, Steve saved up money to get me a wedding band. We were waiting until he and I were both stable and not having surgery. The beginning of September, Steve surprised me one night with my wedding band. I was supper excited.
This last weekend, some ladies from the ward got together and went up to Glennwood Springs to spend time in the hot springs and on Saturday we went hiking at the Maroon Bells up in Aspen. Even though I was out of shape, we still had a good time. I took some pictures of the beautiful Mountains of Colorado.

Clarissa and I at the Carrie Underwood concert!
