its about time

that i read the second twilight book....

so i started it. i feel like im quite behind since the whole world has read them all like 5 times over. (maybe thats just my roomates) but i officially have started new moon. also because i so so excited to see the second movie and so i want to have read it first. and another reason. the second book is about jacob more and i think he is so so good looking :]

family christmas party

2 reasons why i love family christmas parties

#1 ....to see all my fam. cousins, neices, aunts, sisters, and all the inbetween

#2...the amaaazing food :] well..sometimes

i loved how pretty they made my plate look!

mmmm :]

hate to say it but...

I told ya so!

i think ive out done my trips to the zoo for a while....

christmas spirit

Its being to look a lot like christmas! Well, k not really- in St. George it looks more like September still. There is no snow, we have no christmas tree...soo we go to ugly xmas sweater parties to bring in the christmas spirit! Kind of a silly way of doing things- but hey! its works!

I looked every where for an ugly sweater...and finally I found my dream sweater at Walmart. its just gorgeous!
I don't really know how to explain this...haha. these boys from Cedar have a special "Christmas Face" and so me and Caitlyn attempted and this was the outcome. Basically we failed.
Caitlyn looks like she works at Target and Im pretty sure I could pull of the Elementary school teacher look.
All the girls...and some random boy who jumped in the back (gotta love picture ruiners...not!) 

Sophie was a little upset that Robyn had no ugly sweater...sooo this was the outcome :]

zoo one, zoo two.

So I've found my new obsession: the zoo. Yes, the zoo, full of smelly animals and those few annoying children- but its not always like that to be honest.  The other night be and Zach went to see the zoo lights two weekend ago and we were basically the only people in the entire place. It was so fun and I hadnt been in a super duper long time.  So then two days later, I went again. Yep, again. I took Sophie and Parker for the day and once again had a blast. So if your looking for me...I'll most likely be at the zoo.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention: a great post-zoo activity is to dip strawberries. this is Zachs new obsession...were all about new obsessions these days. 
Dipping those strawberries like pro's- Welcome to the Parker family.
Me and Zach at the zoo lights...yes I believe thats a ram or something going for my head.
the zoo the second time around. Sophie looks so cute!
Sophie and Parker on the tigers...or whatever they are. Ps. when I saw those statues when I went with Zach, I thought they were real....(it was dark!!)
Love this picture. Shes just tooooo cute!
My second favorite. I think she looks so old in this picture. Parker was too busy looking at the real animals rather than posing with the fake ones. I dont blame him really.
