FEELING CRATFY

THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS I HAVE BEEN SOOO BUSY WORKING FOR MY DAD. I HATE THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH FINISHING UP ALL THE PAPERWORK AND ORGANIZING EVERYTHING FOR TAXES. I JUST GET STRESSED OUT!!SO I TOOK A DAY TO MY SELF AND GOT CRAFTY. I MADE A LATTER SIMILAR LIKE THIS FOR KYLEE FOR CHRISTMAS AND I JUST LOVED IT. SO I MADE ONE FOR MYSELF. I LOVE IT!!! NOW I FEEL MORE STRESSED OUT CAUSE I AM A DAY BEHIND...TODAY I WILL DO THE FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE BEE TO MAKE UP FOR THE DAY I HAD TO MYSELF. I AM QUESTIONING MYSELF IF IT WAS WORTH. I THINK SO CUTE HUH!?

SALT LAKE FUN

FRIDAY WE JUMPED ON BOARD THE FRONT RUNNER WITH JEFFS SISTER, DEANA, AND HER FAMILY AND HEADED DOWN TO SALT LAKE FOR THE DAY. THE RIDE DOWN WAS FUN... THE KIDS HAD FUN JUST HANGING OUT WHILE US ADULTS PLAYED A GAME OF CARDS TO PASS THE TIME. WE THEN RODE THE TRAX TO GATEWAY FOR LUNCH. THE RIDE ON TRAX WAS PRETTY BUMPY..IT WAS NICE THOUGH NOT HAVING TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC! THE WEATHER WAS FREEZING AND VERY WINDY BUT WE MADE THE MOST OF IT. AFTER LUNCH WE WALKED OVER TO CLARK PLANETARIUM TO SEE A SHOW. WE ALL THOUGHT WE BOUGHT TICKETS TO A LASER SHOW AND ENDED UP WITH JUST BASICALLY WATCHING A STUPID PLANET MOVIE. THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING WE ALL TOOK A NAP! NO JOKE! WE PAID $6 PER TICKET AND EVERYONE OF US TOOK A 49 MIN. NAP. PRETTY FUNNY HUH!!? WELL AFTER OUR NAP WE WENT AND GOT HOT COCOA AND COFFEE AT STARBUCKS AND WALKED AROUND. WE REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME!

ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY THAT ZACHS FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY WAS WHEN WE WERE WALKING BACK TO TRAX I SPOTTED A LAMBORGINI . THIS IS A FUNNY STORY!! I WAS GETTING ZACHS ATTENTION BY WAVING AT HIM AND POINTING TO THE CAR. THE CAR PULLS OVER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. THE BLOGGER THAT I AM AND KNOWING THAT THIS IS ZACHS DREAM CAR I PULL OUT MY CAMERA. WE SNAP SOME SHOTS AND I WALK TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO MOUTH "THANK YOU" TO THE DRIVER FOR STOPPING SO I COULD TAKE PICS OF IT. THE WINDOW ROLES DOWN AND I START TO BEND OVER AND JEFF COMES OUT OF NO WHERE AND STARTS TALKING TO THE GUY. I LEAN OVER AND TELL HIM THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY SONS DAY AND HE WINKS AT ME AND TELLS ME NO THANKS FOR MAKING MINE. SO WE WALK OFF LISTENING TO ZACH WHO IS STILL IN LALA LAND. JEFF WAS LIKE HONEY YOU STILL GOT IT. THE GUY THOUGHT YOU WERE HOT AND WAS PULLING OVER TO TALK TO YOU WHEN I STUCK MY HEAD IN THE WINDOW HE WAS LIKE I GUESS THATS YOUR WIFE HUH? SO I GUESS THATS WHY HE TOLD ME I MADE HIS DAY!?? SO I GUESS AT 39 I STILL HAVE IT GOING ON. HE WAS PRETTY CUTE !! ALTHOUGH NOT AS HOT AS MY HUBBY! WE WERE SO GLAD TO HAVE RODE THE FRONT RUNNER DUE TO THE SNOW STORM THAT CAME IN. WE ENDED UP GOING OVER TO JEFFS SISTER FOR DINNER AND PLAYED MORE CARDS. WHAT A GREAT FUN FAMILY DAY!!!

CHRISTMAS AT THE STREBELS THIS YEAR WAS FABULOUS!! WE WENT OVER TO MY MOMS FOR XMAS EVE FOR DINNER AND SOME WII COMPETITION BETWEEN FAMILIES. WE JUST GOOFED OFF AND HAD SUCH A FUN TIME!
