Valentines Girls Night?

So I was thinking it could be fun to do a girls night the weekend before Valentines day. We could do another sexy one--learn a new strip dance, talk about some hot gift ideas to get the hubby and hang out--or we could do just a regular old girl night. Let me know what you gals would prefer. I want to do it Sat Feb 7th at my place ( if we do the sexy one we can take turns dancing on my pole). Please let me know as soon as you can and then I will get it all planned. I love hanging with my girls!

Christmas

Our family does a Christmas Eve Celebration every year. We started by going out to eat some yummy mexican food. Reina and I wanted to get everyone ugly sweaters to wear for Christmas eve but when we went to the thrift store they were all cleaned out. So we bought these 3 dollar sweatshirts and puff painted them--yes we love to do ridiculous things! Here is the family with our gorgeous sweatshirts. After lunch we did the real white elephant game, told some Christmas stories and then Devin and Ruthann opened their gifts. To end the night we watched a christmas movie. It was a perfect night!

Every Christmas morning my mom takes a picture of the kids before we open gifs. Yes we alway look a little zombie like in the picture.

Joshy and I Christmas morning after getting ready.

Christmas night Joshy and I go home and open our gifts from eachother. I asked for a travel pillow for Christmas because I like to put it between by knees when I sleep. And my sweet husband got me the pillow and made me a barbie pillow case ( with my moms help of coure). Its so cute and comfy. He also got me lots of other good stuff--he always spoils me every year and he never sticks to the budget ( naughty). But I am the one that reapes the benefits so I gess thats ok.

Christmas is my favorite time of year and I am sad that is gone. I got 2 weeks off of work and so did most of my family so we got to hang out lots. I would say my Christmas season was fabulous!

Running Partner?

So I have decided to get back into running. However, I really would love a partner or group to run with. I am going to do runs every Saturday morning at 8:30 starting Jan 17. If you are interested in joining me just let me know and I will set up a meeting place that works for everyone. I am going to start with 3 miles ( right now I can only run 1 so the 3 miles might be some walking and some running) and I run slow usually 12 minute miles. I am training so I can run the whiskey row half marathon in Prescott on May 2. So if you decide to be my running mate you could also do the half marathon with me if you want.

Josh turns 29

There is the birthday boy! My mom made him a hot dog cake, because hot dogs are his favorite ( and bacon, yes, he's a real health freak!)

For his party we went got 6 different value menu chicken sandwiches and tried a piece of each and rated them. The verdict..go for church's chicken sandwich it was the winner, Wendys came in second ( but it wasn't spicy) and last place is Jack n the Box. We had a good time but all that mayonaise they put on the chicken sandwiches is disgusting--no wonder I never order them--I would recomend getting it without mayo. Here is a picture of us stuffing our faces.

Flat tire=a clean house

So Josh is always telling me that he wants to teach me how to change a flat tire in case of an emergency. But I kept putting it off, I mean isn't the point of having a husband around to do things like that? Well yesterday morning on my way to work I got a flat tire, luckily I was only about 3/4 a mile from my house. Unfortunately Josh left to work early and was already gone...CRAP! So I parked the car by the mailboxes and walked home. I had to call in a sub for work. The good news is I got lots of cleaning done that I've been needing to do and I got all of my Christmas gifts wrapped. The bad news--besides missing work--was after Josh got off work I had to stand in the rain as Josh explained how to change a flat tire (But he still changed it for me! ) I love him!

Poinsettias and Parties

This weekend the family went to the poinsettia festival. It was free to get in; they had all different types and sizes of poinsettias. Then they took us on a little trackter ride to their poinsettia green house. It was a lot of fun and we all bought some little flowers. The festival inspired mom to go get a real Christmas tree--loves it--so after the festival we went to home depot and got a tree. It smells so yummy!

That night we went to my work Christmas party. They had a photo booth that they made everyone go in and get a picture, so here it is...

I gave my heart to last Christmas

Last Christmas was a total blast. The whole family went to Disney World for 8 days! And then we came home Dec 20th and had Christmas a few days later. I must say that I think Christmas 2007 takes the cake!
