A trip to Temple Square to see the lights
------------------------------

We all met up at the Trax station in Sandy and headed downtown to see Temple Square and the Christmas lights. The "men" (ie; Mike, Gary, Colton, & Todd) stayed behind and had a "man date". They sure missed out - we had so much fun.

Festival of Trees 2008

Jandaco, the company I work for, once again participated in the Festival of Trees. They provided a fully decorated Christmas tree that was sold at auction. Every penny (100%) raised at the Festival goes to provide medical care for needy children at Primary Children’s Medical Center. 

I love the whole spirit of Festival of Trees and have gone every year since I was young and as Gabe and Glen know - I do not like to be rushed. My mom did it for a few years after my brother passed away and it has always held a special place in my heart. I am grateful to work for a company that recognizes what a wonderful cause the Festival contributes too.

HaPPy #26!

Todd turned 26 on December 3rd - and man did we have one wild party!!! We celebrated Todd's special day with some of the coolest people I know - My parents, my brother Matt and his CUTE friend, Anneli and perhaps the coolest person there that night... MICHAEL MCLEAN!!! That's right - we went to The Forgotten Carols and I am sure you can tell by the look on Todd's face that it was a very special day indeed.

Matt and Anneli's face stayed that way the whole night. They love Michael!!!

Thank you so much Mom and Dad for such a fun night. We really had a great time! It was so fun to spend time with you guys.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TODD! I LOVE YOU!!! 

Blogging... or the lack there of

So my brother Matt sent this to me and said it reminded him of me - thanks brother - are my posts really that boring? I guess lately our whole blog has been boring. Todd and I are keeping busy but it is definitely not anything to blog about. I do enjoy looking at everyone else's blogs since it seems like you all have fun and exciting things going on. With the holidays and our 2 year anniversary coming up - I am sure there will be some posts soon. 

All Hail...

We told everyone that we were going to Las Vegas for a Wells Fargo Recognition Event for Todd but really we went down there to see Todd's all-time FAVORITE performers...

Really though - Wells Fargo flew us down to Las Vegas for a huge recognition event for their top performers. Todd was among those top performers. We stayed at Caesar's Palace and went to many events sponsored by Wells Fargo.

Todd cashing in his huge "winnings". Wells Fargo gave us chips when we arrived but we decided to cash them in immediately and USE the money for something fun before we lost it.

We went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay

We even got to touch stingrays

This sea turtle was huge!

We went to see Mamma Mia for the 2nd time. I LOVE that show!

Recognition Dinner

Dessert... that sign was made out of solid chocolate

Todd on the big screen... well at least his name.

I just want to give a shout-out to my wonderful, hard-working husband - He works hard at what he does and his clients and the people he works with really respect him. I love you Todd.

Bear Lake 2008

Todd and I joined my family in July for, what is becoming, our annual trip to Bear Lake. We had so much fun with my sister, Brooke and her family, my sister Kelly and her kids (we missed you Cory) and my cute parents. We really wished Matt could have joined us but he was being the "responsible" one of the group and stayed back to work.

While we were there we...

Went boating (thanks to the Powell's)

Went wave running (Thanks to the Gillett's)

Caught some SwEeT air on the tube (some of us preferred no air at all).

We discovered the Bear Lake Monster.

We played...

We even had time to just relax...

We really had a great time with everyone and can't wait to go back next year.
