freezing.

It is {frigid} here in Cache Valley.

My co-workers have been joking that I'm
going to have to DOUBLE up on my thermals.

Not really in love with that idea.

At least for the week, it's on it's way up. . .

Waking up at 5 doesn't help either.
My favorite has been our new comforter.
{thanks mom}
And warm oatmeal in the morning.

How do you stay warm?

tour de stg

A week ago when we were home
we decided to participate in the tour de stg.

I had been sick-cough, sneezes, sore throat and yuck.
My Mom, Amelia and I rode 30 miles.
My Dad, Randy and Brother Richards rode 65!It was early early when we got started.

Me and my Pops.

This is BEFORE, we didn't end up taking any AFTER photos.

I love {riding} with my family.
Hopefully next time I won't
be so under the weather.

Polo

We finally figured out our P camera.We've been waiting
for a long time to get this bad boy working.

The first picture turned out to be a bit of a surprise!
Good thing we have lots more in the fridge.

I get so excited about all the pictures I want to take.
We have so many places we need to go.
On our last trip home from STG we made a list
of this next years trips we're hoping to go on.

I sure hope they all come true!

Happy happy birthday TEENAGER!

I can't believe that my little sis is 13!
I'm glad she's always up for a good time.She can have a conversation with anyone,
she's so easy going!

I love how she's a great reader.
Ask her about any piece of Twilight trivia, she's your girl.

And she can kick your butt at almost any game,
watch out!

I love these ladies.

I wish we were closer, especially for days like today.

We wish you nothing but cupcakes
and Edward-dreams!

Whip it. Whip it good.

We went to
see this movie.
Loved it.Ellen Page
& Drew Barrymore
are such a fun pair.

Seen any good ones?

Happy 6 weeks!

Bo.

He's a peach.
And I can't believe how long he's simply
{been alive!}

I'm slowly having to realize that my chaco tan line
will soon be a memory of the past.
I have to embrace Winter---or I'll perish.

Happy happy day of LIFE!

Happy Rainy Conference Weekend

I have never been able to attend a Conference meeting.
But we were offered some tickets this past weekend
and were ecstatic!

It was raining the whole way there.
Oops. I forgot the umberella. ella. ella.The Conference building in SLC is so gigantic.

We could see the Temple
peeking through the other buidings.
It was saying,
"Hello."

So many peeps.
We were all joined to hear counsel
and feel the peace.

And this guy---- he brought it.

That's little Tommy, it was fun to hear him.
It was incredible to see him.
It was wonderful to feel love.

I wasn't sure Randy would be able to sit through
3 hours of talks, but he was phenomenal.
Helped that we brought some fruit-snacks.

He is a dollface.
I am so lucky to have gotten
such an amazing spouse.

Next time I promise
I will not forget the umbrella. ella. ella.

I am grateful for LOVE,
FAMILY,
MY BELIEF IN GOD,
NICE WORDS,
WISDOM FROM OTHERS
and SPENDING TIME with the MR

S@*%

I am not ready for that white S word.But it's coming whether I like it or not.

I am looking forward to:
holidays
seeing family
snuggling with the mister
making snow-angels
yummy soups
making our own frosty
snowboarding
the polar bear plunge
ice fishing
snowball fights
sledding down the Aggie Hill
cross country skiing
ice skating


Good thing we get a little more Fall first. . .
I hope.

the Office BLT Party

We love the Office,
and found out our neighbors & friends do too!
So we decided to have a party.
The fun Sheyas, Linds, and the adorable Jorgensens.

We decided to have BLTS. Yum.
Randy was in charge of making the second batch of bacon . . .
needless to say we had to evacuate the house for a second . . .
reset the smoke detector . . .
and we all ended up smelling like bacon.

There are worse things :)
