Thanks was Given

We had a wonderful thanksgiving. Dinner at the Fullmer household. 

Cindy prepared a fantastic feast.

Reid had a pickle for dinner and was happy as can be.

That night we hit the sales looking like this. First stop was Walmart in Blackfoot. We got what we needed and then we headed to Idaho Falls which was a big mistake. With Black Friday starting at 12 has brought out WAY more people making it impossible unless you were in line hours before. We went to the Mall and felt super uncomfortable with all the stares....have you really never seen an ugly sweater before? We went back to target after the line was gone and found what we needed and the line to check out was wrapped around the entire store....So we hit mcD's breakfast and headed home. :) We will stick with our poky run next year....it's way more fun there. 

Friday we spent the day at Kesler's Market getting the Christmas trees up and ready for sale. I look forward to it every year. It really gets us in the Christmas Spirit. And I love working the cash register like the good old days. Reid spent a lot of time in this while we worked. 

The holidays don't only bring families together but they bring friends together! I just love these girls and I hope we don't ever stop our little reunions. We enjoyed dinner at Tommy Vaugns. 

We spent saturday at the store as well working and then that night we filmed for this years christmas music video. We will share it soon!

Thankfuls

I am so grateful for thanksgiving. I always need a reminder to reflect on those things that I am most thankful for. I am immensely blessed. I love that the holidays bring families together to create memories and eat food. :)

I never knew I could be capable of loving like I do my little Reid. He has brought so much joy to our lives. It's hard to remember life without him. I am extremely grateful for my little man and pray that can do my part in raising him to return home. 

I am so grateful for laughter. It gets me through the day. It doesn't take much to make me laugh but I LOVE it. I love that Reid gets it too. I can fake laugh and he will laugh, it is contagious.

My cabey, I am so thankful to have him in my life. He makes up where I lack, he picks up where I left off, he lifts me up when I'm down, he makes me laugh when I want to cry, he gives me courage when I fear, he makes me feel big when I feel small...in a good way :) and most importantly he loves me in spite of my faults.

I am so grateful for my calling. I needed it. I need to improve and it has tested me. I am so grateful that it has brought these girls into my life. They have taught me so much and they will be my friends forever. 

 Caleb and I have been blessed with wonderful families. We have amazing examples to look up to and they are always there for us. We've got just about every occupation you could need in our families. Doctors, nurses, ophthalmologist, Grocer, dentists, engineer, banker, mortgage loaner, Vice Pres of sales, seminary teacher, OB PA, and lots experienced mothers. Any question we have about life just takes a phone call. AND for a plus we love being around them! Sure glad that we get them for forever.

 The temple. I always knew the temple was amazing just by looking at it and I knew I wanted to go there someday. I never knew that such incredible blessings would take place inside. I am so grateful that I made it there. I am so grateful that I get to go there as much as I can. Many prayers have been answered and many souls have been saved and many families have been sealed. It is a miraculous work!

I am just so grateful for LIFE. To be able to experience all of these wonderful blessings here on earth. I'm so grateful to know why i'm here and where I'm going and the purpose for life so that I can do all that our Heavenly Father would have me do.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! TRAVEL SAFE!! EAT GOOD!! and shop till you drop...

A Weekend to Remember

This past weekend was quite the adventure. I had the opportunity to be on Studio 5 on KSL. I was just interviewed on how to make a family music video christmas card. I just went through a few steps to make it happen with your family and they showed clips from our music videos. I was SO nervous, and then it was over in the blink of an eye. Darrin the host, was good at covering up when I didn't know what to say haha. I'm just glad it is over but it was a very fun experience to be on TV! I always wanted to be on the disney channel...I guess this will have to do :)

Jordan came with me and stayed with Reid backstage.

He took this picture in the green room.

Friday night pinnacle had a big dance party in Utah for 11.11.11. Caleb and I went for a little bit. At 11:11 they played party rock anthem and threw out these big balloons and Caleb, Brett, misty, and I did the party rock shuffle. They had a VIP lounge with food that we hit up as well. 

On Friday night we stayed with Cam and Cami, it's always fun to be around them. They always make our stay so fun. Love them! Lucy loved Reid and she said "Can I hold him? I'm really good with babies!"

On Saturday I got to see my great friend Linds. I hadn't seen her in 3 years! It was a much needed reunion. She did my hair and make-up for the black-tie event that night. She is so naturally talented check out her hair portfolio http://www.lindsayleehair.blogspot.com/

Saturday night was the PNCL black tie event. Got all dressed up and went to Capitol Theatre for the awards ceremony. 

We went to dinner at olive garden afterwards with the chiddix's.

Jordan watched my little Reid and we got to stay at his new home as well. It was fun to spend time with him he was a great host! It was just a fun-filled weekend!

BYU Vocal Point

If you have been watching the Sing-Off you may know who Vocal Point is. We were able to go to their concert on Saturday in Blackfoot with some of my family. They were booked way before they were on the sing-off. I'm telling you it was the best entertainment I have ever seen. These guys are unreal. We all had smiles on our faces the entire time. 

This is our favorite his name is Ross. Have you seen his facials? He is so animated it's hard not to watch him!

 I can't remember his name but we call him Frank Sinatra. 

And this is Ben. Girls were surrounding him so we took a pic from afar :)

Best 10 dollars I have ever spent. If you ever get a chance to see them DO IT!

Halloween at it's best

We started the partyin on Friday at the Webbs. 

This year caleb and I went back to the 70s era. I kinda look like a grandma/clown but I found 2 of those dresses at the DI and wanted to be twin grandmas but cabe just couldn't do it.

 Reid and his cousin Aaron.

 Kip and Lafawnda won the costume contest!

Saturday was the ward party. 

This is my friend christina...she pulled off the 70s look perfectly. 

 We switched up the outfits so I didn't look as ridiculous. 

All was found at the DI...that place is full of treasures!

 Here's my little tootsie roll with his cousin dieter on Halloween.

 The Kesler kids came trick or treating to our apt. 

They were the only ones and I bought tons of candy! 

Now i'm in trouble...

 We stopped by a party at the Thomas Household...it was bumpin and some hilarious costumes.

Here's the gals

 The dudes/some gals

 We switched up the costume a little and decided to be a gangsta family...

 We also went to Treagan and Allie's...we thought people were going to dress up...joke on us! haha we also went to Kyle and Callie's earlier and no one was dressed up. We were getting worked!

I love halloween. I think Caleb and I will dress up our whole lives. Don't you wish more elderly people would dress up? That will be us don't worry.
