*CHRISTMAS*

 

MERRY

CHRISTMAS!

 

No I didn’t take any pictures. And I sent out our Christmas Cards on Wednesday. Don’t judge me!

Phone Pics

SO while my camera was MIA I was able to get some cute pictures with my phone. I had completely forgotten about them until I was looking through my phone the other night. There are a lot more than I remembered!

Aunt Lacy sent a package to Grandma Wendy. It had lots and lots of paper in it that was just WAY to fun to play with!

Grandma Lisa has a fun pony! TJ even knows how to bounce it. Its hilarious. He’s still a little small for it and I’m afraid to just let him play on it because he’ll probably take a tumble off the side. Its adorable tho! 

Oh that flash is bright!

  Tim “borrowed” his mom’s wig/hat. Let me just say he looked incredibly TrAiLeR TrAsH! That mullet is WICKED .

 Daddy played in the 3rd annual Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving. Once again it was a blowout and Daddy’s team won! GO DAD! It was a chilly day but we were bundled up and there wasn’t any snow yet.    

    

*Turkey Bowl Champs*

  I promise I put him down for a nap with a diaper on. I guess in the tossing and turning of falling asleep he decided it was more comfortable w/o one. I had to wake him up and put it back on (and some clothes) just incase there was a little accident.

Out to dinner with Grandma Lisa and Mommy! So Yummy!

Hanging out with Daddy on the houseboat. WE LOVE LAKE POWELL!

LOVE MY JOB

 SO. I am glad I have a job. But. Seriously. WHY am I the only one who does it right? It doesn’t make sense. Anyone looking at this would think.. “hmm maybe that needs to be taken out”. NOPE. I’m pretty sure everyone thinks “Jade will take it out” LOVE THAT! And I also love that it took me 3 loads to get all this garbage and laundry out. So. Awesome.

=[

BOO.

No cars yet.

Wednesday hopefully!

 

 

Good-Bye Old Blue.

So I’ve had my old blue Ford Escort for almost 5 years. It has been a great little car especially for a college student. But for the last year or so it has slowly been going down hill. We thought that hopefully it would be things that can easily be fixed, but we fear that the engine is on its last leg. We know that the clutch will need to be replaced and the brakes need to be changed as well. Basically it is done for. We leased a brand spankin new 2010 Honda Accord back in July when we thought the blue car would be a simple fix. We have been pretty sick trying to figure out what to do about our whole one car situation. We were not planning on old blue dying on us. Now we are going to trade in our Accord and get two cars for the price of one. Luckily we have a friend in the car business and he is really helping us out with getting out of our lease. Hopefully by Saturday we could possibly have a 2009 Toyota Matrix and a 2009 Toyota Corolla.   Pretty excited about the fact that we will FINALLY have two cars again. I am so super anxious to not have to constantly be trying to figure out how to get both of us to and from work. Saturday will be a good day!

I stole this pic off of my sister Delila’s blog. Momma, Delila, and me hanging out on Temple Square =]

Naked Baby

Just cuz he’s so stinkin cute!

 

*Christmas Time*

I am so happy its Christmas Time. I am actually on top of things this year…kind of. I have all of my decorations up including the tree, finished 90% of my shopping, and ordered my Christmas cards. Now if only I can get those babies sent out on time. Usually they end up coming for the new year =] but hopefully I can get them addressed and mailed in a decent amount of time. SO thrilled about finding Tim’s old camera last night. I went around taking pictures of all my Christmas stuff this year. I ordered a cute blanket, nativity, and some signs from Seagull Book that I’m still waiting for. They were supposed to be here today but have yet to show…I’m a little excited about it lol. This year has been a rollercoaster ride..along with the last. Although we haven’t had quite the excitement of last year we still are looking forward to some stability..someday maybe! Tim just got transferred down to the Provo Sizzler. NOT happy about it. There are definitely some pros and cons but mostly he hates it. Basically that store is falling apart and Tim doesn’t want to be the one to pick up the pieces. I applied for a new position. I have an interview tomorrow. It would still be for IHC but it would be at the Provo hospital instead of Orem. Which is closer to home, and it wouldn’t be graveyards anymore. So we’ll see how that goes. It finally started snowing! Seriously I thought it would never come. And now it hasn’t stopped. Its a good thing but kinda bad at the same time because they never plow our neighborhood and its soooo icy! Its super scary. The old blue cruiser is still dead. We finally got it running again and then it was just a matter of getting it registered (6 months past due) but when we started it up the other day to take it in..no bueno. It wouldn’t start AGAIN. So now we have basically been out of a car for about 7 months. It is so hard only having one car especially when we both work full time and its a 30 min commute to work for both of us. We are just crossing our fingers that we get a decent tax return and can get something cheap…but not too cheap. I really don’t want to deal with the same problems again. CARS! Can’t live with them. Can’t live without them. Counting down the days till Christmas! Can’t believe its already here!

 

           

These are my super cute snowman plates. The small ones go on my kitchen table and the big one is on a stand on the counter. I am a little obsessed with snowmen. They’re my fav! I even have them on my tree.

 

This is how I look pretty much every day these days =]

 

One of my nativities. This one is from my mom. She just gave it to me this year. Its gorgeous and I love it. I think my sister Lacy has the same one. I also just ordered a new one from Seagull Book. I’ll get a pic of it when it comes.

 

And my penguin rug from Kohls. Love it! One of my fav investments this year. Its in front of my kitchen sink.

*I HAVE A CAMERA*

YAY!!!! I found Tim’s old camera downstairs. We have TONS of junk in the basement that desperately needs to be cleaned out but luckily we have procrastinated. If we had gone down and cleaned everything out I’m sure we would have thrown this baby away. The lens gets stuck and doesn’t focus sometimes. Last thing Tim knew it wouldn’t even turn on. BUT when I tried it out tonight it worked like a champ! So glad. Still bummed about losing ours. If only I had the memory card..I would settle for that. But oh well. Hopefully it will turn up. This will work for now!
