Hanging Out In New Mexico:)

First of all, I hope you all had a great Christmas! Kade and I had a wonderful Christmas hanging out with all the family! We played rock band and hung out with his family and we had a yummy dinner and exchanged white elephant gifts with my family. I love when the entire famiy is there because there is always lots of noise, a few babies crying and its just a wonderful, crazy setting that I wouldn't trade for the world!!!!! My favorite part of our Christmas dinner was the Christmas slush! MM MM! My mom does this slush drink that is so dang good and it always makes me think of past Christmas's when we would do a big dinner with my cousins and my grandparents. It was great hanging out with Kade's family too, I was actually getting the hang of the guitar on rock band!!! hehe!

So now here we are in New Mexico. As some of you already know, Kade's precious little monte carlo decided it was tired of Kade driving it to fast and it finally died. So we have uno car that we are driving. The search has been on for a 2nd vehicle for quite some time now and we finally found what we wanted...........in Albuquerque New Mexico. So we decided that we would come and stay with Kade's dad because he is currently working in New Mexico, and then just pick the car up on monday and drive back. So today is a relax day........something that seems few and far between these days, as I'm sure you all feel like that:) So Happy Sunday everyone! And Happy New Years too:)!!!
Kade kinda looks like he is asleep, hmm, pretending to read the Ensign hu??!!!

A little R&R baby!!!!!

Paintballing for Thanksgiving!!!

Oh boy!! Thanksgiving is always a blast when there is some paint and guns involved!!!! This is the crew!!! Kade's family (along with lots of friends) always do paintball the day after Thanksgiving. And there is always someone who ends up very welted!!! I think Cody took the brunt end of the welts and the the little guy Dallas was the cause of the damage! Don't under estimate the little ones!! hehe!!! Lacey had some nice purple spots adorning her arm as well. Good times I tell ya!!!

Also our Thanksgiving day was wonderful. We had the opportunity to spend the day with the Cook side, and I have to say I love love love my mom's Turkey! Oh my! I have bragging rights on her! Anyone who has tasted it, will agree with me! :) And ofcorse we all ate to much!

I've decided I have a theory on the eating to much, I think we all intend on not overeating, but there are to many dishes to choose from that we just have to try a bit of everything, so hence, we eat to much! Which also does not leave any room for "what you like best and are saving room for, and want more of". hehe! Oh well, its once a year right!!!! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday!

This is Cody's nice hickey..........or welt!!! hehe!
The battle is on!!!

This is Lacey Lou, in a perfect battle stance!

And Camacita!!!!! Woot woot! What a gal!

I love this pic of Kade and Camie! So cute!!!

How could something so pretty, be so.........dangerous!!! :)

Who needs to see, really!!!?? Its just a game! Jeeeez!!

Um, aparently, the proper equipment was not worn that day! (They were playing revolutionary war!!!!)

Kade, in action! He looks deadly, but really, in a tickle match he is more dangerous! I'm serious! He will squash you in a second! Just a big ball of solid mass and muscle............scarey!!!

Go Snow!

Kade's little brother Tyson, plays football for Snow College and we have been going to his home games. This past Saturday was his last home game. He has one more away game and then it is the big bowl game at the Rio Tinto Stadium, which will be so fun to go watch! Snow has ony lost one game this year, so that makes them 9 and 1. We have a lot of fun cheering him on! We get kinda rowdy.......and I love it! Go Snow!!!
Oh my goodness, don't you just love David and Goliath!

The Fam! Nice photographer in the bottom rt hand corner :)

Kade and Ty always goof off when they are together!

I had a picture of Ty smiling with his mom and dad but I chose the wrong pic! Oh well, now I'm to lazy to go back and pick the right one!

What a stance!!!

The cheerleaders always throw things up into the crowd and Kade is up on the top row waving his hands around for them to throw him a little blue football.

What the?????????? hehe!

Tyson had just scored a touchdown!

Tyson is about to score a touchdown, he is #33, and he has the ball.

Best Costume Award!!!!!

We went to Mike and Jenny's Annual Halloween Party again this year and dressed up as fisherman..........I know your thinking, "well thats not that funny" but when we pulled up to their house that night, we had to get ready outside before we came in. We wore our waders, our fishing poles, nets, flippers, and our inflated tubes around our waist! We saw them look out their window, like they were wating for us to come in, but it was dark so they couldn't see our costumes. It was pretty hillarious when we were finally ready and walked or I should say waddled up their stairs. We had a hard time fitting through their door, we had to tip the tubes sideways. They did give us the traveling trophy of "Best Costume" this year! Fun times!
Mike and Jenny!!!

We had to take the tubes off right away, otherwise we would'nt have been able to eat, play games or anything!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

We finally carved our pumpkins!! I have been wanting to for quite some time now, and we finally were able to find a time...............10:00 at night! Hehe!! But at least we got it done! And of course my pumpkin ends up being cute and Kade's ends up being mean. I thought that was kinda funny. I hope everyone has a fun Halloween!

I GoT sTuNg!!!

This past weekend was en eventful one. We went camping Thursday night to Friday morning with some friends, Nick and Jana, which was a blast! We went 4-wheeling and camped in a tent and had a yummy breakfast. The leaves are absolutely amazing! Fun fun. Then on Saturday, we went hunting with some of Kade's hunting buddies. It was so fun to hear the elk bugling all around us! What a crazy fun thing to do. And ofcourse, I got stung, TWICE while we were hiking around! hehe! I've never been stung in my life and I had to get it, not just once but two times, in the neck and in the leg, right through my pants. Hence the mud all over me. Hey, it was all worth it! I love to hunt with Kade, call me crazy but I am sort of addicted! :)
