Annual Sun Valley Extravaganza!!

So we spent last weekend enjoying some fam time in Sun Valley, Idaho, it was a blast as usual!! Every year we meet Monte's kids here in this great town and have a little fam reunion. Thanks for the fun weekend frumpy!!

You ask what we did.......what else, guitar hero!!! These two look pretty intense, huh!



We also had our little gift exchange which always consists of some great presents and of course the kids get their presents. Cindy's boys, Lucas and Jake are enjoying some great ones!


Kids must be thinking we are crazy, having them unwrap these cool toys....Parker looks perplexed!


Ashley of course worked on one of the puzzles she brought. I have to admit I wasn't in the mood to puzzle, so she had no help from me, but she does okay!! Nice cheesy pose Ash, we love those!


Katie and Parker were showing us their "moves" here. They don't look like much, but you should be sad you missed it!! Adorable! Of course they always have fun together and Parker enjoyed playing with his other cousins!


Jake spent a whole day and a half reading.....for fun.....I wondered if he was okay...this NEVER happens!! That good old Monte got each couple this book, Train to Potevka, I guess it is really exciting, its about a man from Bear River, Utah, yeah right up our alley!! Anyway he goes to Russia....he was a spy and I guess it's about his time there and all his crazy happenings. As you can see Jake liked it, my turn!!


Monte and Dylan chose to watch football for some of the time......ewwww....so us girls had to find something else to occupy our time. Ash and I made my mom's famous Christmas sugar cookies....I would say they are to die for!!! They take a long time.....about three hours to make with two people........if you know us, we wouldn't do that unless they were wonderful.


This is a shot outside the condo in the back, our beloved C2. We love it, with it's cute little stream and all. Thanks again Monte......we loved it!

1st birthday!!

Jake's sister, Amber threw a shin-dig for their little Arriana's 1st birthday. Sadly, Jake had to go without me.........but luckily I found these pics on our camera! What a good little hubby, getting pictures and all!

What a cutie huh!?

Big brother, Jaylen, maybe he wants his front teeth for Christmas?


Amber and Chelsea having fun!!!


I'm a little pony, clipity clop clipity clop


We got her this cute little elmo toy with a wheel. I heard she wouldn't let it out of her sight, well at least for a little while!


Lily also liked Arriana's toys, looks like she is quite attached to a her-size stroller!

Fourth album, Fourth pic!!!

My cousin Brooke tagged me with this little project, so here it is....I know I am going to get crap from my dear sweet mom, she never likes any pics of herself!! Chill mom, you are beautiful and you and frump are so awesome and fun! Enjoy!

This is actually a pic of these two in Kentucky visiting Dylan and Ashley, but I stole it off Ash's blog........hey I wanted it!!

Twilight Frenzy...

I know I am behind the curve, but we went to see Twilight!!! We went the 2nd night it was out and boy was it crazy!! There are some crazy obsessed people!! But that's okay, it looked like all those obsessed people were having tons of fun!!

Oh and I have never witnessed such a dramatic reaction to a movie, I mean not even the Harry Potter movies!! I mean people either HATED it or loved it!! To all you people who detested it, go easy!! I mean come on it would be naive of me (or anyone else) to think it would be as great as the book, right?....and it was low budget! So I prepared myself before the crazy hype came, which helped me to just be chill and enjoy the movie for what it was! There were some cheesy parts that's for sure, but wasn't the book as well........that's what we like....that gushy gaging stuff! Edward was hot, Bella was way adorable and was the non-girly, shy, awkward Bella we all love from the book.

Well I guess I have finished sticking up for the movie.........here is a pre-movie picture at the Tibbitts', we were pretty happy to be all going to a movie together and Ash and April even got to leave Parker and Katie with the hubbies. YAY!!
