*THANKSgiving* -n- *ParK CiTy*

OOPS! and an extra...
One Saturday while Tys spent ALL morning working on the washer, the boys decided to make him lunch! YeP! Shredded Tortillas, carrots and I think cocoa puffs! YUM EH?!?! haha They are hilarious.
I totally spaced taking a pic at my dads for THanksgiving Breakfast but here we are for Thanksgiving Dinner at Grandpa Rich's!
Kin got a good nap! Looks like Tys may have dozed too! :)
Thanks to them for a yummy dinner! and fun for Kinlee's FIRST Thanksgiving! **oops to snapping the pic without a smile from Grandpa Rich! haha, he really is happy! that is totally my fault! haha **
Sadie and I had talked about going shopping...then one of my neighb's wanted us to all go. haha after she saw the parking lot at the Walmart in Centerville, she decided to stay home while my other neighbor decided to head to target and wait in line solo for 3 HOURS! haha Sadie and I decided we'd do a drive by at Walmart, we found a decent parking spot, headed in...
AND saw this and basically walked back out! haha Nothing was worth waiting in those lines for us! Sleep sounded better. :)
then up for our Traditional Park City stay! Playing games...
Just hangin' out~!
Elevator Rides!
Kin just kickin' back in her chair. She loves to put one foot up!
Drew making cookies for, him, Peyt and Dad!
Aw cute, Tys and Brooks mastering the Gingerbread house! hahahaha Okay, Tys really didn't help at all. But they looked pretty into it, don't you think?
THanks mom and Bruce for a little getaway! The boys LOVE this tradition and were so sad to leave.
and last but not least, just a little bonding time! :)

...but we're {PERFECT} for EACHOTHER!

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt ...him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley

Okay, so my friend posted this quote on FB for her anniversary today. AND I LOVED it! She is one of my best friends and always will be. and this is one reason why, she has such a great outlook on everything! I love her! So thanks Linds! I thought this quote was SOOO perfect for me and tys too! He is this perfectly. I honestly don't know where I would be without my second half. He has been there for me through all my ups and downs, keeps me looking at the bright side, is ALWAYS so positive and patient. He is seriously one of a kind. and I know that from what other people tell me but also what I see in him. So I wanted to find one of our fav pics...and I did :) an oldie, but a goodie! LOVE HIM! and thanks babe for being perfect FOR ME! :)

FuN TiMes WoRth ShaRing!

Kinlee loves grabbing at things...and Peyt wanted a pic! haha
but as soon as she saw the camera, she decided she was done :)
So I snuck up! :)
SOOO....Ash called and invited me to the Twilight Premiere at midnight at THANKSGIVING POINT! Ya, that far away! haha Need I remind you that it was already 9:30 when she called. She told me I couldn't think about my answer in mom perspective. So putting that aside, I said YES! haha and it really was lots of fun! Dug out the Edward shirts (thanks mom for the purchase awhile back, it got put to good use!) and were on our way!
It was crazy busy! I couldn't believe it...but couldn't believe even more that NOBODY was dressed up. Ash and I thought we were going low key with our sweet glitter faces and awesome Edward shirts. Turns out we were the most decked out, WHAT?!?! ha
Go ASH! haha
and how about that glitter?! Loved going, not loving the movie so much, but it was fun to get out! I think I'm still catching up on my sleep! :) THANKS ASH!
Drew said "Mom, I made a "D"! Come take a picture!"
So the boys were lucky enough to be watched by Grandma for the surprise date that Tys and his friend Jay had planned...and it turned into a RED party! So we geared them up in RED pj's, Drews RED hair, RED choc. popcorn in their RED bowl! So fun! They were SOOO excited and had lots of fun! Thanks mom for helping us get some much needed fun time together! :)
Cute girlie! No red, but pink for sure!
So on the way to meet up with our awesome date buddies. Tys and I stopped for gas. I went in to grab an energy drink and Tys said "Oh, don't grab one, I've got ya covered!" and holds up my EXTRA strength 5 hour energy! We got to Edgingtons and I busted it out after Nachelle asked about my previous Twilight night. Then Jay grabbed his too! haha He wanted to down them together! Nice Jay! CHEERS!
He could guzzle it...mine was SOOO gross! but believe me it worked! and honestly right at the 5 hours I felt myself wanna crash!
DATE night! YAY! LOVE surprises, especially when the guys plan them!
Walking through SL with the snow! It was fun! On our way to the BLUE IGUANA! Where, BTW, there was a candle in a container sitting in between Tys and I...all of the sudden I saw lots of smoke, and yes lots, cuz to me it was! and just then Nachelle tells me she thinks my hair is in the flame! AHHH! Serious?! haha It cinged my hair! Hopefully nobody will notice, probably just me, but to me, it was a big deal looking down on my leg and seeing my hair laying there and pulling the cinged pieces off! haha Oh well!
Aw precious, right?!?! :)
Their's was really caught in the moment! CUTE! :)
AND tada~!!! SALSA LESSONS!!! We pulled up and Nachelle reassured us that Jay was lost and basically not to get out of the car. ha It was FOR sure a big surprise to us girls! Never would guess THEM to PLAN our salsa dancing!
It really was tons of fun! THANKS hubby for such a fun date night and doing something out of the ordinary! I LOVED it and loved enjoying the fun with our long time friends! Tys and Jay have known eachother since they were younger, but they finally just moved back to Utah! We are glad!!! and thanks mom for taking care of the kiddos!

GNO!

It seems like this night was cancelled and rescheduled a million times! But glad it finally was put into action! :) Besides who doesn't LOVE any excuse to dine at the Cheesecake Factory and enjoy some FAB shopping! Uh, I don't mind a bit! MORE please! :)
Linds, me and Holly PRE-DINNER...enjoying the new H&M~
Cheesecake FActory! YUM!
The Cheesecake girls!
and nobody on my side joined me in my take out dessert to enjoy RED VELVET CHEESECAKE at home with my hubby! I know, talk about to heavenly! :)


So it was BEYOND crazy to sit and think how long I have known these girls! I think Amee was in my first grade class, Tami maybe 2nd Brooke since 4th grade, Holly since Jr...geez, maybe elem too?!, Linds since 9th and Ash in HS when we were lucky to get her our Senior year! :) But REALLY are we THAT old?!?! Like 20+ years! SO crazy as you see these girls change and grow up! But really, I look back and swear they don't look much different since day one, just older...which is funny our conversations while sitting at dinner for 2+ hours consists of Botox, kids, wrinkles and baby's! Kinda funny how the years change you! We did want to spice things up with Kareoke after, but since we didn't get out of dinner till so late and not everyone was exactly on board, we headed home! But don't worry, NEXT time, next time we are SO there! :)
