Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

Christmas was great this year, as always! We spent the holiday with Curt's family this year, and it was a lot of fun. Curt surprised me and got me a Canon Rebel for Christmas and I was soooo excited! I love it! Hopefully I can learn how to use it better and have amazing pictures. He also got me a snuggie, and I have to say I am a huge fan! If you don't have one you should think of purchasing one :). I love the Christmas holiday and I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

New Year's Eve was a lot of fun, and we also spent it with Curt's family. We came home a little before midnight so we could drink our bubbly and ring in the new year.

Family Pictures

This Thanksgiving Curt and I went to California to be with my family. It was really fun to get away, spend time with my fam, and eat some amazing food. My mom cooked everything and it was so good that I ate way too much! After we were all stuffed we rolled outside and took a family picture. It is crazy how fast the family is growing. I do have to say that I have the cutest nephews and niece, and I don't think I am biased. :)

Breakdown

So, as you may have noticed, I now have a blog list of different "breakdown" blogs. Curt and I thought it would be fun to do blogs about our hobbies. There might be more "breakdown" blogs to come, but for now this is more than enough to keep us busy.

Curt loves finance and loves to help people, so he decided to do a finance blog. He will be posting advice and tips to help with your finances. He is really smart, so check it out!

I love reading and listening to music, so I decided to do an online book club and a music blog. I have been reading a lot lately and always wish I had someone to discuss the book with, and thought a blog would be fun. You should check out my first book and let me know what you think. I will be doing books from all different genres, so if one is not your style then look again the next month because it will likely be something totally different. I am so excited about my music blog. I have so many songs I want to share with people that are not on the radio constantly. Like my book blog, I will be posting a lot of different song styles.

Hopefully you will like our other fun blogs! Let us know what you think!

Halloween 2009

Well I am finally posting pics from Halloween. I have been so busy lately, it has been hard to keep up with blogging. Anyway, we had a great Halloween and it was a lot of fun. At Curt's work, the finance department decided to dress up as an 80's rock band. We got him a tight black shirt and a blond mullet, and he looked awesome. I decided to try and match him, so I was his 80's rock groupie. We unfortunately forgot to take pics of us dressed up, but below are two pics that our works took of us. I am sad you can't see my awesome leg warmers though.



On Halloween day we went to Thanksgiving Point to have fun at Cornbelly's, and it was a blast! I think we were the only ones there without kids, so we just acted like kids ourselves! We took lots of pictures and had so much fun. We think we are going to make this a Halloween tradition.

Birthday Celebrations

My birthday this year was wonderful! It was on a Thursday and so we had a birthday weekend. After I got done with work, Curt took me to Chef's Table and it was so delicious! Everyone should go there, and you need to get their creme brulee (or however you spell it) - so good. Then we went and saw a play at Hale Theatre and had a great time. On Friday I went bowling with my family and had a lot of fun. We then went to my brother's house to have cake and ice cream.

I told my parents how good Chef's Table was so they wanted to take Curt and I out to dinner there again on Saturday night. They were not disappointed! I also went shopping on Saturday and got some much needed clothing. Overall, it was a really great birthday weekend! I love my husband for making sure it was a birthday to remember.

PS. Halloween pics to come.

Happy Birthday Love!

Blogging is not really my thing. In fact, this is the first time I've ever written anything on this blog. Yet, I want to let you all know that Larissa's birthday is today and she has turned an astonishing 23 years old. Although I will strive to give her gifts she will enjoy, nothing will ever match the gift she has given me of being the greatest wife out there. I am crazy in love with you Larissa, and just wanted to say Happy Birthday.

Love, Curt

Baby News

Baby news... for the Utah Hogle Zoo of course! Curt and I went to the Zoo on Saturday and it was so fun! Neither of us could remember the last time we went and thought it would be a fun thing to do. There were so many baby animals there and they were really cute.

This is us standing in front of a elephant. The person who took the picture didn't happen to get it all in, so it looks like we are standing in front of some random thing.


How cute is the baby elephant? We took way too many pictures of Zuri, but she was so fun to watch. She really liked that red ball.

This is Curt with the baby giraffe. It just sat there the whole time, so not too exciting.

This tiger was HUGE! The pictures don't do him justice. I could not believe how big his head was, and his paws were literally the size of my head. I had never been so close to a tiger before and it felt cool. I was glad there was glass there though. :)

He had just got done doing a lot of roaring and I think he got tuckered out. How cute is his face? We took pictures of the baby tigers but they didn't turn out as well.

If you look closely you can see the sloth in the tree. We didn't just really like this tree or anything.



After the Zoo we stopped by the "This Is The Place Monument", and it was really cool. I had never been before and it was a great experience. It was a neat to know that Brigham Young and the pioneers stood in the same spot so many years ago, and realized that this was the place the Lord wanted them to be.
