Picture Tag..

I got tagged by my friend Randi a long time ago and then again by my friend Jenny so I figured I would do it. The idea is to go to your pictures and go in the fourth folder and pick the fourth picture and post it. Then, go to the six folder and get the sixth picture and post it. It is fun to go back into those folders and dig up those old pictures.

Both my pictures are kinda random. I have been working on a video for my parents so I have a lot of pictures from when we were growing up and from special occasions. It looks like these pictures should of come from Misty's folder haha.

Mariah's 1st Birthday

Mariah turned ONE today! I can't believe how fast her first year of life went. I know it's hard to believe she is one because she looks so small. She is in the 1st percentile of her weight. Mariah had a pretty good turnout to her party, Joe, Jenny, Tanner, Jack and Jordyn Samek, Nate, Lindsey, and Adalie Hill, Kadie and Ryleigh Allred, Aunt Nina, And of course Me, Brandon and Kiana. We started the night out letting the kids play and eat, then we opened presents. Mariah got a lot of cute clothes and a cute book and computer. Then we all sang happy birthday and let her eat her first piece of cake. Oh man she loved that. The best part was the cleanup, we just had to throw away our garbage and leave it was so nice to have a big area were all the kids could play and eat and you didn't have to worry about your home being destroyed. Anyways the party turned out great. I am not sure Mariah knew it was all for her, but she did enjoy herself.

Kiana's Tutu....

Kiana started ballet lessons this year and she can't get enough. Everyday she asks if she gets to go to ballet class. My cousin Lindsey knew that Kiana had just started taking ballet so she made her a cute tutu. Kiana loves it! So thanks Lindsey for the thought and for taking the time to make it for her. Below are some fun pics of Kiana after ballet class.

Cleaning the Pumpkin

Kiana and Mariah did a great job cleaning our pumpkin this year. It was so cute to watch them go at it! Here is a clip of them cleaning the pumpkin. Sorry if you get dizzy I know I fliped the camera alot haha.

Happy Halloween!!

We had a fun halloween, I love seeing everybody all dressed up. We started our halloween day trick or treating at Brandon's school, Nate's work, and other various places along the way. Halloween night we went to my cousin Lindsey's house for a Hallween Party. It was fun, everybody dressed up, there were lots of cute Halloween goodies and cute Halloween games.

A night to remember!!!!

I have been so busy lately so I know this post is late. Okay so it all started with a F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode, the one with all the wedding dresses. Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe hung out all night in their apartment wearing wedding dresses. So me and my friends always talked about how we wanted to do that. Well my cousin Lindsey finally decided to make it happen. So she told me she wanted to have a wedding dress party, and of course I loved the idea. So then the planning started, it was fun planning a wedding again haha. So we made the guest list, and sent out the invitations. Then we had to figure out what we wanted to serve, we decided on doing chocolate and cheese fondue, yummy!
We wanted to make the night about our weddings so we decided to do a mock wedding night. So Lindsey made a beautiful wedding cake.
We all had partners and we cut the cake and fed it to our partner haha.
Then we set up a isle so the brides could walk down the isle again. There was a little catch, it wasn't the traditional wedding march. Each bride had to strut their stuff to I'm to Sexy!



After all the cake cutting and modeling and eating we mellowed the party down with the bouquet toss. Each bride had to toss the bouquet to another bride, the bride who caught the bouquet had to tell a funny or cute or romantic story about how they met their husband, their proposal, or something that happened at their wedding. It was fun to hear all the funny and cute stories. Oh yeah we also had some bridesmaids, (our friends who are not married yet wore their prom dresses and shared cute stories about the guys they are dating now or how they were asked to prom).

It was a hilarious night. It all started because a couple of us girls wanted to wear our wedding dresses again and we figured there were others like us. So for anybody who really wants to put there dress back on I recommend a wedding dress party!

I've Been Tagged

I've been tagged by my cousin Lindsey. Here are the rules to being tagged:

-List the rules of being tagged on your blog

-List 6 of your quirks

-Tag 6 other bloggers

-Make sure you link the person who tagged you
1. One thing that I do that I don't even understand is that I have to get ready before I go to bed. And I am not meaning that I have to get ready for bed. I mean that I like to make sure I look pretty before I go to sleep. This has nothing to do with Brandon or anyone else but myself. I can be the only one home, and I will make sure my hair and face look good before I go to get in bed just to mess it all up when I sleep. Call me crazy but it is something I have done for so long, and I am not sure why. Who knows maybe it helps me feel good about myself so that I can sleep better haha.

2. I love to drink out of the jug. It makes the milk taste so much better. I can not drink milk out of a glass, it taste to milky. But if it is in a jug I love it!

3. I have to stay up until I can't think of anything else to do. I love to sleep, but I hate going to bed. I will channel surf for hours-- no joke hours on end-- just trying to find something to watch that won't put me to sleep. If there is nothing on t.v. I hit the Internet. I hate waking up in the morning, and I love naps, so its kinda ironic that I have to be bored out of my mind to finally get myself to go to bed lol.

4. I don't like to talk on the phone but I love calling people. I make so many phone calls a day its crazy, but the second I get somebody on the phone I try to get off as fast as I can. I like to ask questions and then hang up. I think of more questions and then call back. It drives Brandon insane whenever we are traveling. I will call everybody and their dog and ask like two questions then say okay bye. After I get through talking to everybody I think of new questions and start over.

5. I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs. NO MATTER WHAT!

6. And of course last but not least. I am obsessed with everyone's hair. It does not matter what they are doing. They could be going to prom, getting married, going to the gym, or just sitting around the house. If their hair is out of place or looks weird I will fix it. Most of the time I don't say anything; I just walk over to my friends or my family and start fixing their hair. It does not matter if they want it done or not. It will drive me insane to look at it and not fix it. The weird thing about it is that I could have the worst hair ever and not care but at the same time be freaking out about somebody else's. I worry more about everyone else's appearance than I do about my own. (Unless I am going to bed lol!!) It would be nice if somebody had my back. We always joke that Lindsey is the tooth Nazi and I am the hair Nazi.

I tag Randi, April, and Kenzee.

(I know that's only three but everyone else has already been tagged.)
