HAPPY BIRTHDAY........TO ME!!!!

Yesterday I turned 22 years old. I know it's not that bad but I feel ancient! I still can't believe that I am already this far into my life! I swear just yesterday I was playing with dolls, and today I have my own little family. (That I LOVE) This past year has been great! We have had quite a few little adventures, some not so good and some that have been amazing! Terron and I made the move to Enterprise almost one year ago to the day. Although that experience was one of my worst night mares, which I will never forget! It brought us back home close to family. We are so blessed to live pretty much next door to everyone we love. And as crazy as it seems that little flood that sent us packing was one of the best things that could have happened to us.
This year flew by like all of the years before it. And once again my birthday has come and gone. However it was a great one! I am so spoiled and I love it. Thank you to all my awesome family and friends and especially my amazing hubby Terron for as always giving me more than I deserve!
For some reason I have convinced the world that we celebrate my birthday all weekend long so to start off the celebration Terron and I spent the night in St. G with Cat and Jared. We all went out to a movie friday night.(Four Christmas's, it was funny but not as great as I had hoped for.) And then sent the boys to get us ice cream for the next movie we started at home. We had great fun with the Blads thanks for letting us crash at your pad. Saturday I got completely spoiled! Jared made us waffles for breakfast which were excellent! (Thanks again pal) and then Terron took me out for a day of shopping. We have made it a tradition that we spend my birthday buying me clothes. I absolutely love it. Terron is so awesome about the whole thing. We walk in a store and I send him to find me clothes. For some reason he always finds the cutest stuff. I hit the dressing room while he brings me more clothes. Seriously how many husbands would do that. He is one of a kind. We spent the rest of the day playing around enjoying our time together. I made away with so many fun cute things.
My mom had an amazing dinner waiting for us when we got home. We normally celebrate both my Dad's and My birthday on the same day which I love. So the whole family came over for food, presents, and pretty much the most amazing ice cream cake ever (two thumbs up for Karisti on that one.) All in all it was a great day. I am sad it's over but that just means one thing! FOUR DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!!!

I Can't Believe It's Almost Christmas

I have been so excited for Christmas! Terron and I both love Christmas! As soon as we got done with dinner on Thanksgiving day I put my decorations up. Then we got our tree and Terron and I spent a night decorating it and watching Christmas shows. I think that is my favorite part about Christmas is that Terron loves to do everything with me. Our favorite thing is to cuddle up in the truck and ride around looking at Christmas lights. We don't park and make out like we used to, we do wait until we get back home now. (haha I can just see my mom's face right now, sorry mom I had to)
I had my first experience of getting a real Christmas tree over the weekend. My family has had a fake tree for as long as I can remember because my dad struggled when it came to taking us out more than 2 days before Christmas to get the tree so my mom just got a fake one so we could put it up when WE wanted. So I have totally missed out on the tree hunting thing. Well Luch and Dan hadn't gotten their tree yet so on saturday evening right as it decided to snow we headed out to get a tree. I have to admit I had a blast. We took Miley along who had never seen snow before she was amazed and loved it. We went past Terry's ranch and took some dirt rode and then we got out and walked. We split up Terron, Miley, and I went one way and Danika and Luchel went the other. I sang Christmas carols to Terron most of the time, he did sing along once in a while but we just walked around in the snow holding hands and chasing the dog until we found the tree. I had so much fun it's great to make new traditions together every year! I think tree hunting is going to be one of ours from now on. I haven't decided to put a real tree in my house, but one would be cute out on our lawn with lights...... we are still compromising about all that stuff! Terron normally gives in:)
So as for my Christmas shopping, Well I was going to be totally be on the ball this year and have all my christmas shopping done early. Well I actually did all but Terron. I had all my christmas presents bought and wrapped before december first. The only glitch was Ters. I try and surprise him every year which I haven't been successful at but this year so I am still working on his but other than that I am almost ready to go. I still can't believe its here already snow and all.

Guitar Hero

So Broc, Brayden & Jed love guitar hero! It is so cute to watch the boys jam out on the guitars! ROCKSTARS IN THE MAKING!

 

Legos

Well Jared brought his legos up for the little kids to play with and you can see who ended up with them. The big kids. Terron and Jared got all lego crazy so then one by one the rest of us joined in. I was primarily the lego organizer, I tell you I am an organizing freak, but we all had a blast. I am considering buying terron his own set for christmas.

 

 

Great finds on my trip

These are a few of the great finds I had on our shopping trip!

 

We always hit this huge store kinda like a michaels except Much bigger they always have amazing deals so of course I coudln't help myself and I did buy more scrapbook stuff! But I will use it I swear! I have this serious issue that i love to buy things like scrapbook stuff but then instead of using it I just LOVE to organize it! I am not crazy though it runs in the family I found out because my aunt Elaine admitted that she has the same problem with having everything organized like I do.
As pathetic as it is it is like my favorite hobbie....I know I am sick!

 

So these are my cute sunglasses, my knock of purse, amazingly cute shoes and jewlery. I bought all of this for what I would pay for one pair of shoes at christensens! I know its rediculous but true!

Shop Til You Drop!

 

This is me with my loot, my awesome auntie that makes the trip possible, and me & my mom on the bus excited to get our shopping on.
Okay So the bus ride down was excellent for two reasons
1. I slept the entire time and I don't really remember it
2. I finally won the money!!!
So for the 6 or so years that I have gone I have never won the money. But my luck finally changed! Yay for me! We all put in a dollar and then auntie draws out a name and they win a little extra shopping money! We always have a blast & the trip definately started out well for me.

 

 

So I bought a ton of cute material down the alley but my real find was at the swap meet with this cute brown and blue blanket. The lady that made these were amazing and she gave me a heck of a deal. So now all I need is a baby to put in it........ uh Terron........

 

This is down the ally that we shop and also one of the dozen fabric stores we bargin shop at.

Our Little Flood

Yesterday I got home from work and started doing my normal routine. Terron was in working on quickbooks so I went to ask him what he wanted for dinner. We decided on soup. As soon as I opened the door to the basement I heard the one noise that makes my stomach turn. Running water in the house! I had flash backs of our previous disgusting awful flood at the rococo! I ran down the stairs to find that the water heater was spraying water. I yelled at Terron to get down stairs! He must have been able to tell that something was up because it normally takes him 5 minutes to answer me back when I yell to him. We couldn't figure out how to get it turned off so I called Jed. He was over in a minute and he and terron finally had to just turn off the water to the house to get it to stop. By that time I had wised up and got a bucket to catch the water. I still had quite a bit of mopping to do, but we got to it before it did to much damage. All I could think was how happy I was it was only water and not sewage! So this flood was nothing, I was pretty happy about it actually because we have had much worse! When things settled down I grabbed my camera and took a quick picture which terron didn't appreciate. Karisit and the boys came and brought us nummy soup, rolls, and sugar cookies for dinner. So I guess the little bit of mopping I did was worth that. So thank you Jed for always being there to help us! And Thank you Karisiti and the boys for the food. You guys are the best! Also thank you grandpa for fixing the water heater today!

Blonde Moments!

Sadly enough I do have blond moments more often than I would like to admit. Here are a few of my recent.
Last friday I went to the temple to do a session and see Amanda & Cole be sealed. Well Terron ended up having to work so I went with my mom and dad. Once we got through the session and into the celestial room I was looking for someone that I knew. I felt stupid standing there looking around so I was pretty excited when I spot my grandpa. He is always good for a big hug! So I go over to him and go to give him a hug. He kind of looks at me funny and right when I am about to say hi Grandpa the light turns on. (partly because I see my real grandpa ten feet behind us). I knew I had made a mistake a second after I had done it. Ya oops. It's not that bad though it was a relative of mine. I just happened to find my grandpa's twin brother instead of him. The thing is there is quite a big difference between them so I shouldn't have mixed them up but when you are all dressed the same what do you expect? I'm sure he had no idea who I was but he got himself a free hug out of it anyways.
Blond moment number two a lot of you might have experienced with me......Terron and I went to get our new phones on monday. I was so excited because I got such a cute phone! I decided that I better send out a text to let everyone know my new number. Well being as amazing as I am with things like that (total sarcasm) I start trying to send out a universal text. This first time I sent it, it was nothing but a blank page. I know you all love getting those. So I tried again. This time I typed my little message about getting a new number and sent it off. Minutes later 30 texts come pouring in asking "who is this"!? I had forgot to include my name....leave it to me. So once again a third text which said "by the way this is Sara". For some reason not everyone got the 2nd text and just the third. I had everyone including myself pretty confused but hopefully they got the jist of it.

Snow Days

Well we had our first snow if you can really call it that. We didn't get much just enought to remind me that winter is on its way. I love winter when it is a blizzard out side as long as I am inside curled up by a fire with a blanket but I am a pretty big sissy if I have to go out in it. I am not looking forward to driving in it this winter. One thing I will miss about living in St. George, no snow on the roads.

Our Camping Trip

So Terron and I decided to go camping at Indian Peaks for the weekend. We got all packed on friday afternoon and headed out. As soon as we got there it was cold, windy, and almost dark. We threw up our tent and pretty much just got settled before the weather turned awful.
We didn't get to do everything that we wanted, like call elk, pick pinenuts, etc but it was great to spend the weekend together with no interuptions. We spent a lot of time cuddling in the tent which was great!

This is what the weather was like the whole day and a half that we were out there. It rained and poured. We finally got smart and packed up late saturday night in about 3 minutes tops.









I was so proud of our little tent. It held up pretty good against all the horrible weather, and it only leaked a little water in.



Terron, Miley, and I posing in our camo before we go call elk.
This was the fire that took an hour to start after it rained all day and night. There was no wood that was dry so it took a while but we finally did it! Yay!

We put poor Miley in the back while we were riding around listening to conference. She got soaking wet so I made Terron stop and I brought her inside and put her in an empty tote. She was so happy to be out of the cold and the rain. She is a pretty big pansy and she doesn't like to be uncomfortable.

Cute Miley drying out in the tote.

Me trying out my .17 I haven't been shooting since I got my deer last year and I am still an amazing shot if I do say so myself.

The remains of the glass bottles I was practicing on. I was 3 for 3.

We forgot the binoculars so of course we just pulled out the scope. We however didn't end up seeing anything all weekend.

Hair Dye

Well I have never dyed hair before, so I decided that I should try it out. I wasn't about to do it to my hair so I convinced Terron to let me use him as my ginny pig. He was a really good sport about it even after I got it all over his ears, neck, forehead, and chin. Ya I kind of made a mess and it took quite a bit of rubbing alchol and scrubbing to get it off his skin. But the end result I think turned out pretty dang good. It was actually supposed to be a dark brown, but I think that I left it in a little long because it actually went black. He still looks good though!


His Before Picture

During (as you can see I really did make a mess)

And After (all of the hair dye was traumatic for terron and he went to sleep as soon as I was done so you don't get the full effect but he looks great) Thanks for being patient with me and letting me drag you into all my crazy ideas, Your the greatest Ter!

Happy Birthday Honey!

Happy Birthday To My:
Amazingly Patient
Sweet
Cuddly
Mushy
Hard Working
Crazy
Funny
Wonderful Husband Which I love more than anything!


We had a birthday dinner sunday at my Mom's house which was great like always. Terron turned the big 23.

Terron's birthday was actually on the 17th. We went shopping and got him some new clothes which he needed and then went to the new batman movie. It was great but a little long.

Then when he got home I had his surprise birthday presents waiting for him. I love surprising him with things I think I get as excited as he does!

The End Of Softball

I loved watching Terron play but I was definately sick of those benches so until next season.......

Terron up to bat!

My never ending project ENDED!!!!!

I started this little project thinking that it really would be little. Man was I wrong!! I started this about a month ago and just finished but they turned out great! I took over my sisters garage because I had no place at my house to work. I am sure they are glad to finally have me out of their hair. These use to be an off white color with gold accents every where. I personally think they look a little better.

Biggest Cucumber I have ever seen!

Terron brought this home the other night and I had never seen such a thing before but he convinced me to eat it and to be honest it really tastes like any other cucumber but it was great!

Terron's Last Moto X race

Terron did really good he took 5th out of like 20 something! All I care is that he didn't have any serious crashes that day!

I didn't edit the pictures before I uploaded them so I couldn't get this up close but terron is the one in the middle that is jumping.

My Little Garden

I took these a few weeks ago and it is definately triple the size of this, we planted tons of squash and have been giving it away like crazy because we are so sick of eating it every night.

Whats camping without dutchoven dinner!

We all played laso golf and had a blast

We spent one night up on the deck just playing cards and hanging out.

Terron could spend all day fishing, I on the other hand can take about an hour of it and then I am done.

Jed, Broc, & Miley watching everyone fish!
