Making Memories

For Christmas Garrett's dad gave us a family trip to Disneyland.

Last weekend was the first weekend everyone had available to go.

We were supposed to go Thursday - Sunday but the weather said rain

on Friday and Saturday so we decided to leave Saturday instead.

Right when we got there, we checked into the hotel and headed to a ball game.

I love baseball and I love seeing the games live.

They gave us Angels beenies when we walked into the stadium.

FOURTEEN innings later, the Angels won!

We went to Disneyland bright and early and stayed until our feet couldn't go any more.

We rode a lot of "big kid" rides and the little ones did amazing. They rode too!

Toy Story is one of Garrett's favorite rides so that was a must do.

Of course, being a Frei, it turned into a little "friendly" family competition.

We split into teams and tried to get as many points as possible.

Day one was a blast and we were asleep before our heads hit the pillow.

We were a little more relaxed day two of Disneyland/California Adventure.

Everyone was tired, but didn't want to miss out on anything.

We rode a couple of the same rides again, but tried to hit what we missed the day before.

It was such a fun trip. Thanks to Dennis who made the whole vacation possible.

I love creating memories with family. We can't wait to take our own kids to meet Mickey.

Garden

I've wanted to have a garden in my backyard for a few years now.

We kept our side yard unfinished in hopes of doing so.

Today I planted my garden. I wanted to do a plant box, but this will do.

Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Spinach and Lettuce.

Let's see if I can keep them alive. I took a picture of my thumb,

does it look GREEN???

Lately

I've neglected the blog for a long time. Nothing exciting to blog about.

Work, Church and Cheer. That's what my days consist of.

Next year I won't be coaching anymore so that will help free up my time.

I've been called to Young Women from Relief Society, excited about that.

That's about it.

Attention scrapbookers!!!

I have another "hat" I've added to my mix of "hats" I wear. Designer.

Lately

I've not been the best blogger lately. So here is a little tid bit of what we've been doing in the month of October.

Garrett ran the marathon. I'm so proud of him. I still have no desire to run that far, but I'll be his cheerleader.

My office also volunteered at the marathon. Every year we had out wet cold towels to the runners at the last mile.

October was breast cancer awareness month. My office was a sponsor for the zumba benefit fundraiser.

We went and shook or tail feathers till we "glistened" with sweat.....

Our TEAM a.k.a. Plumb Dental went to lunch and then went and had a mani/pedi

Please look closely at my toes - they are the ones with polka dots.

Lady says "You wan polka dot, zebra stripe, flowa? It extra"

I say "Sure little polka dots would be cute."

Lady says "Yella or gween?"

I say "Oh can I have white?"

Lady says "No, white change colla. It not good. Yella or gween?"

If I have to choose, guess its' gonna be yellow.

WOW. Big mistake. Good thing we like the Vikings cause my toes are supporting our team. They also look like Dinosaur eggs or something. Good thing I paid extra for these beauties. As she finshed she said "Happy Hal-ween righ?"

Happy Halloween it was. We had a lot of fun. Garrett was off playing cowboy - moving cows to the wintering grounds.

I went and saw all the kiddos in their costumes, then went to my parents house for their annual Halloween Bash.

Every year their neighbor spends DAYS getting a haunted house set up. They have a line that goes all the way down the block and people come from all over. My parents set up a huge food spread for everyone to come chow down after they get scared. It's a lot of fun. My mom figured that she went through HUNDREDS, yes HUNDREDS of hamburgers and hot dogs.

That is what has been happenings with the Frei's Lately.

Dear Job, I Love You

This is only half of the fun crew I work with each day. Three dentists, two hygienists, a bunch of great assistants, and my GIRLS up front. I have worked in the dental field for six years and love it. One of the annual activities my office does is volunteer at the marathon. We have nice cold towels one mile before the finish line and cheer on the runners. We get the volunteer shirts and the day before the marathon we wear the shirts to work. Since we were closed this Friday, we wore our shirts today. I don't know what I was more excited about - volunteering, or getting to wear JEANS to work. We had such a fun day. This is just one of the many fun things we do at our office. If I have to be a grown up, at least I get to enjoy what I do.

Spontaneous Us...Strikes Again!

Remember that one time how we were going to Vegas for the day?

But then ended up driving straight through and headed to Cali with nothing but the clothes on our back?

This time was a "little" different. More like booked a flight Thursday night, hopped on the plane 10 hours later Friday morning, arrived in Maui 11:00 a.m. Hawaii time, played Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, hitched a redeye Monday and back to work Tuesday morning!!!

100 % credit of which goes to my incredible husband Garrett. He did it all. All he told me was we were going away and to pack a bag. It took me the whole first day to be like, holy cow, we're really here.

The Resort

The View

The Adventures

We had a fun filled weekend and Garrett has decided this is the only way to travel. No counting down for vacation or waiting for it to get here. Just book a flight and go! haha. If only life we're so available to do so. Guess we gotta do it while we can though right?
