Big Snow Fall

As some of you might have heard, South Ogden got a ton of snow this last Tuesday.....A TON! I was lucky enough to be in school all day and not have to drive in it. Jedd had a big presentation in Salt Lake that he had give so on his way home from that, he stopped and picked me up from school so I didn't have to drive. What a great husband I have! He knows how stressed I am when I have to drive in the snow! After we got home, Jedd had quite a few things to bring in from the car so we both bundled up and went outside. Since most of you didn't get as much snow as we did, I thought I would take a picture of what it looked like outside our apartment at 4:00 in the afternoon. This first picture is shocking to me, only because the day before, there was maybe 1 inch on the ground, maybe? Now look at it. I snagged a picture of Jedd before we made our first trip in. He wasn't really happy to pose for the picture, but he did it anyway to humor me. What a great hubby! And here I am posing for the camera. If you notice, the snow we received came up to my knees. I know my pants look funny being tucked into my jeans, but I didn't want my pants soaked by the time we walked in and out!

Babysitting Extravaganza

On Friday night, Jedd and I were able to go babysit for my sister and husband so they could go out to dinner, just the two of them, for Valentine's Day. Jedd and I went down and were there at about 5:50, thanks to the crazy traffic. We fed them dinner (Jerilyn had it cooked for us...THANKS!) and then we just got to play for the rest of the time. During dinner, I wish someone was there to take a picture because it was hilarious! If any of you know Zach and Hailey, they talk non-stop. At some point, Zach was talking to Jedd and Hailey was talking to me and Jedd and I looked at each other and busted out laughing because we realized we weren't even paying attention to what they were saying at the moment. It was so funny! (I guess had to be there moment!) Zach and Hailey just went on as if nothing had happened and kept telling us their stories.

After that, we went our separate ways. Hailey and I painted toenails and Zach and Jedd went and played XBOX. This is us painting toes. Yes, paper towels so the paint didn't get on the floor.It was so hard for Hailey to wait for them to dry. I tried to keep her occupied with candy and taking pictures for as long as possible. Look at that smile!!

And the finished product. Hailey wouldn't let me get away with not painting my toes too, so of course we had to get a picture of our matching toes. While the girls painted, the boys were a little less interested in that so they had their own fun playing Golf and basketball. Hailey was so excited to show the boys her toes, and ketp running back and forth. Jedd acted a little more excited than her brother, but she didn't care! And then after everything was over, Hailey just HAD to play XBOX with Jedd and Zach. If you notice, her controller isn't really plugged in. Jedd was so good with her and made her feel like she was playing with the boys. Jedd kept telling her good shot while playing basketball, and she would just jump up and down saying I did it! IT WAS JUST TOO CUTE! It was such a fun night. After playing for a little while, we fed them popcorn and ice cream and sugared them all up for when their parents came home to put them in bed. (OH, THE JOYS OF BEING AN AUNT AND UNCLE!) It was such a fun night. Thanks, Hailey and Zach, for all the laughs and fun!

Our Own Movie Theater

On Saturday night, Jedd wasn't feeling too great so we decided to just hang out at our house. The wind was just ripping through where we live (which it normally does most nights), but it was so bad that it was affecting our cable and we couldn't watch our tv. Jedd had some movies on his ipod and so we decided to hook his projector up to his ipod and watch movies on that. It was so much fun, it was like our own little movie theater, except for it was clean! We had to rearrange my whole living room, which was quite interesting, but it turned out to be such a fun date night. This is a picture of the set up.And this is just a cheesy picture of us getting ready to watch the movie!

Superbowl or Barbies?

Yesterday, which I'm sure you all know was the Superbowl. Last year Jedd and I spent it with Jedd's family, so this year we spent it with mine. It was a lot of fun to be with everyone! We missed those of you who weren't there. We had a great meal, and even better treats and snacks! After dinner and talking with my sister and mom at the dinner table about grocery shopping, I had the biggest decision of the day. Go watch the kick-off for the game or go play Barbie's. (it was an easy day for me I guess, if that was my hardest decision right?) Well of course I decided to head in with my niece to play Barbie's with her. I'm not going to lie, it was so much fun to go back in my memory to those days of playing dress up and Barbie's with my sister. This was Jerilyn's, Michelle's and my collection plus a few things from my mom's barbie collection.

And even after playing and cleaning up everything, I still made it in to watch the kick-off. I missed nothing, lucky me! Ha ha. Thanks, Hailey-Bailey, for playing with me! Next year I might choose Barbie's again instead of watching the game.
