Welcome 2012

Happy New Year! Yup, blogging about New Year's in April.
Here's the quick version. Went to dinner at Samurai with the Schofield's.
Came back to our house for new year toasts! All of us had sparkling cider
except Garr since he doesn't drink pop. 

Us

I realize I am so far behind in posting that I just need to start fresh with 2012 and go from there. I just wanted to post one last thing from 2011 because I love these pictures. Garrett and I went for a Sunday drive and took our camera and just pulled off to the side of the road when we saw a cool place to take a picure. We took a bunch but these are a few of my fave. (blog template can be found at my sis in laws site signaturescrapbooks.com) Ok - Goodbye 2011. Hello 2012.
Also remember I am going to be going private. I realize it's a hard choice to make because I always hate when I click on a blog and it's private. BUT - I'd like to post more this year and I don't want just whoever to be seeing it. If I go private before you give me your e-mail - message me on facebook.

PRIVATE

I am going to be better this year and pay more attention to my blog. I'd like to turn my blog private. HOW?? I don't know the first thing about it. All I know is people request everyone's e-mails. So please leave your e-mail and if you could tell me how to go private, that would be great!

More to come...

Well I tried to post the October ones in order but even this dang blogger is smarter then me.
At least I posted right (Katie!) November is still to come...

One more Fall 2011

Miracle grow.....or....hair extensions.

A friend of mine was having a fall special on extensions and I decided I wanted in on it.

I wanted to have lucious curls for the cooler months. My hair is naturally curly so to blow dry and straighten it, especially in the summer months is HOT. I need to put a fan in my bathroom to keep me cool. Since the cold months were approaching, I thought I would be good.

Surprisingly enough, this hair is EASIER to do then my own! The hair is straight so it hides my curly hairs and I don't have to fry it so much to get it straight. Garrett didn't quite know what to think.. he is a little freaked out I have someone else's hair mixed with mine. He asked if it was a wig for Halloween and if I was just going to take it off. Sorry dude, these are sewn on!

Continued Fall 2011

The girls at work decided we needed to have a "Girls Night" Halloween party and eat lots of yummy food as well as watch "Hocus Pocus."

Jodi hosted at her beautiful home because Halloween is her all time favorite. Her house was decked out! It's like she invented Halloween.

We decided that since we were going to be watching a movie on the back yard projector that a full out costume would be too much. So we had a mask/hat party. The food was great, the company was great, and I won a prize for my mask!

Fall 2011

The other day my mother in law asked me "Aubs has your blog posting been slacking much?"

Haha. I laughed, the funny thing is I actually take a TON of pictures, I've just been doing the everyday life

where I take a pic and journal about it every single day. After doing that, I'd rather pinterest then blog.

So here is a quick catch up of October, then hopefully I'll get November caught up this afternoon.

Garrett ran the St. George marathon for the second year in a row. His knee had been hurting him so it

was a very emotional finish. His family and I stood at the finish line and cried as he came running in.

They say the marathon is so much more emotional then physical and I believe every bit of that after this

years marathon. He's already talking about next year...
