time for christmas!

NOT MUCH GOING ON HERE... JUST AWAITING FOR THE DAYS TO PASS BY SO THAT WE CAN LEAVE ON FRIDAY MORNING 1AM TO GO TO UTAH & IDAHO! I AM SO EXCITED & CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MY FAMILY. ITS BEEN A WHOLE 4 MONTHS SINCE I'VE SEEN THEM LAST AND WHEN MY SISTER IS 4 YEARS OLD, I KIND OF WISH I COULD SEE HER MORE SINCE SHE GROWS UP SO FAST. SPEAKING OF WHICH MY LITTLE SIS MACKENZIE WILL BE 18 IN JANUARY... WHEN DID THIS ALL HAPPEN? SHE JUST GREW UP LIKE IT WAS NOT A BIG DEAL OR SOMETHING? WHERE DID ALL THE TIME GO. THEN AGAIN, THIS YEAR DID GO BY SERIOUSLY WAY TO FAST.

I LOVE HER, MUCH MORE THEN WHEN I DID WHEN I WAS 15. THATS THE TRUTH.

AND HERE IS A SEMI GOOD PIC OF MAC & WIL. WIL IS MY BRO - ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD AND GUY IS STILL THE SIZE OF A 7 YEAR OLD... POOR KID... STILL LOVE HIM THOUGH. WANTS TO GO TO SCOTLAND AND SEE HIS 24TH GREAT UNCLE WHO HE IS NAMED AFTER, WILLIAM WALLACE, AND WANTS TO CONQURE THE WORLD WITH HIS SWORD. HE'S THE SMARTEST KID I'VE EVER TALKED TO AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO WHITTY & CHARMING. HE'S BETTER OFF GROWING UP RATHER THEN STAYING YOUNG, HE'LL BE OUR CLAIM TO FAME ONE DAY


AND LITTL' MISS PAISLEY JUNE... SHE'S NOT THE BABY ANYMORE, OR SO SHE SAYS BUT SHE'LL ALWAYS BE MY PRINCESS. SHE'S THE ONE FAMILY MEMBER I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE MOST. SHE THE TALKER, THE PLAYER, THE DRESS-ER-UP-ER, THE CUTIE PIE. I LOVE HER TO DEATH, WITH OUT HER OUR FAMILY WOULD NOT HAVE HUMOR. SHE'LL ALWAYS BE MY FIRST BORN, THOUGH I DID NOT GIVE BIRTH TO HER.. PROMISE.. SOME WOULD THINK OTHERWISE BUT I PROMISE SHE IS NOT "MINE"


MY CUTE ELF HUSBAND, HAVN'T SEEN HIM AROUND IN A WHILE.. HMM.. LAST YEAR HE HAD A 98 HOUR WORK WEEK BEING THE ELF BUT SEEING AS THIS YEAR IT WAS POURING RAIN 4 OUT OF THE 5 NIGHTS HE DIDNT DO THE ELF GIG MUCH BUT RATHER WORKED IN THE OFFICE TAKING PHONE CALLS ALL DAY FOR THE ROOFING COMPANY FROM ALL THE RAIN LATELY. ANYWAYS, AARON AND I ALREADY GOT EACHOTHER OUR GIFTS FOR XMAS.... HE GOT A BLUE RAY DVD PLAYER AND I'M GETTING CONTACTS - FAIR EXCHANGE RIGHT? I'M MORE INTO THE FAMILY GIFTS THIS YEAR.


SPEAKING OF RAIN........ UMM, NOT SURE IF YOU ALL NOTICED BUT SERIOUSLY? SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS FLOODING AND I THINK ITS GETTING READY TO FALL OFF THE MAP. BUT THE RAIN HAS BEEN INSANE HERE. THE CITY I LIVE IN, LAKE FOREST GOT A RECORD OF 2.67 INCHES, NOT BAD COMPARED TO BEVERLY HILLS' 5.5 INCHES AND DEVORE'S 10.6 INCHES... THOUGH I WILL SAY IT TOOK ME 35 MINUTES TO GET TO WORK TODAY WHEN IT NORMALLY TAKES ONLY 10. ALL THE STOP LIGHTS WERE OUT, MUD SLIDE WAS DOWN LAKE FOREST ROAD, MULTIPLE LANES WERE CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING AND A TREE FELL ON TOP OF A CAR WHILST DRIVING! AND THIS WAS ONLY DOWN 2 STREETS... I HEAR IT TOOK SOME PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH ME 3 HOURS TO GET TO WORK. IT WAS HORRIBLE. ITS FINALLY STOPPED AND I'VE SEEN DAYLIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4 DAYS. JUST IN TIME FOR SNOW TO BE ON ITS WAY TO UTAH FOR THE HOLIDAYS! YIPEE!

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO XMAS EVE & XMAS DAY AND BEING WITH FAMILY... A WHITE XMAS... MAKING A SNOWMAN... GETTING ALL BUNDLED UP... TEMPLE SQUARE AND THE LIGHTS! ITS JUST ALL SO MAGICAL. I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE CELEBRATING JESUS CHRISTS BIRTH, ITS SO WONDERFUL TO THINK ALL THOSE YEARS AGO WE WERE WATCHING HIM BEING BORN. I LIKE TO THINK I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT WATCHING HIM AND ADORING HIM FROM ABOVE. WHAT A SITE TO SEE.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU THIS HOLIDAY SEASON & A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!! (my only goal next year is to get in shape! 115lbs here i come!)
