Festival of Trees and Nickelcade

Friday Night me and jordan doubled with Justin and Lindsey. We had quite the evening ahead of us. First Lindsey cooked a delicious mexican dish (in request of jordan) We had chicken encheladas and rice. It was so cute we were all sitting at the table eating dinner, enjoying a delightful conversation full of laughs and what not. After dinner we went to the festival of trees... um holy gingerbread houses! They were so freakin' cute! They had houses from Up, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Home Alone, Nightmare before Christmas! It was so fun to see them all. Our next stop, while in our christmas moods was to go to the house that has their lights linked up with the radio station.. after about driving around for about a half hour looking for it we found it! oh joyous.. get all parked... positioned just right... and it turns off. Apparently it ends at 11 and we got there at like 10.59pm. Lovely.

"Up"

"nightmare before christmas"

"cloudy with a chance of meatballs"

Saturday me and jordan promised brock we would take him out on a night on the town. He loves hanging out with us because 1. we spoil him and 2. we are just so cool who wouldnt want to. So we had dinner at my dads then we took him to nickelcade and pretty much just let him go to town, i accidently got double the nickels because the lady there misunderstood my request.. so we make our way from arcade games to basketball to air hockey.. then we come upon this new addition.. its an aircraft game.

Image: big pilot chair, two pedals, joy stick, accerlartor switch, three screens that surround you, topped off with orange and black exterior. Well Jordan suggests this game to brock, he of course jumps right in.. Jordan decided it would be entertaining to film him while playing ( i wish i could upload the video, it was apppppsolutely hilarious!) so when he has to barrell roll or turn to go through a hoop on the game he would turn with it. He was all over the place to say the least. Any way that concluded our evening there, left with a bunch of useless crap we got with our tickets, stopped on the way home to get a treat and ending at my place playing super nintendo!

ohhh the holidays

I love the holidays! So relaxing and the two familes i play with are so enjoyable to be with. So for the week this was our plan..

wed. played with friends at garretts

thurs. jordan played paintball, i went over early to my parents and helped cook, jordan came over when he was done.. we stayed over their, watched the grinch, ate. then me and jordan went to his parents and again cooked, ate, played super nintendo.. donkey kong! just so you all know kim is flawless at that game.. so smooth, quick, its like she was born to play that game.

prefriday: me, mas, and dawsone went to target at 4am ready to shop. i love it, i think its so funny watching people go nuts over all the sales. everyone is so aggressive and just a hoot to be apart of.

fri. me and jordan were still in chill mood so we made dinner for brock and then watched four christmases (hilarious show) played super street fighter

sat. i didnt have work so we went to the temple and to the gym (we snuck jordan in - it was awesome) i worked on his present and he played xbox. we went to the mall to look for a new coat for me. :( nothing. then we went bowling with jessie and garrett, i love those two. fyi they all doubled my score, yep all.

here are some lovely pics from thanksgiving

ok this pic is awesome. dawson has been doing no shave november (he is a 16 yr old boy with hardly any facial hair, the facial hair growing is patched, blonde, and gross.) so he is showing it off, im being grossed out, brock is trying to get a good look, mas is making a funny face and jordan is enjoying my gma telling him he has big muscules. . yes she really felt them and said that.

we are cute.

Things That We Laugh At...

Ok I have been back and forth all day about posting this but i figured eh what the heck...
So one of my favorite things is to squish on the tiny love seat snuggled up to jordan in my condo. Many things happen during this time. Sleep, Wrestling, Relaxing, Talking, and of course laughing.

Last night after we put brock to bed we ended up there and we were just talking. The conversation kinda died and we were just dozing off when i happened to look semi down... i just made the smallest giggle and jordan of course was like whats so funny (me being slightly embarrassed what i was laughing at i reframed from telling him) i kept saying nothing, but everytime i kept saying nothing i would begin to laugh harder and harder, just uncontrollably!

He was like lor seriously what is so funny? I was like im fine this just never happens to me. That of course threw him off and then he was like what? i sayed my boobs........ i never have cleavage. He broke into the longest laugh and we were just dying together squished on this itty bitty couch. Jordan said oh come on, I said no seriously! i would not be laughing if that was the case, you need boobs for it to appear. He named one other time i had major cleavage and we then laughed again just so you know that was like a year and a half ago! (car you should remember this as well since it was your b day dinner!) very rare occasion!

all in all .. my new nick name is cleave. -created from the one and only jordan k peterson

The First Official Bunco Night

After finally pulling everything together we had our first official bunco night. It wasn't all together, but we were able to take care of some matters of business. We have 12 official members and will be meeting last monday of every month. People got the hang of how it works and played 3 rounds and then we called it a night. Everyone was so stoked and we all looked so cute that we had to take a 'bunco pic'
ps. if you are somewhat confused at the objects that are displayed with us.
Bowl of Candy: Treats and snacks are including at every event
Weiner Dog: aka the 'traveler' if you get three twos you get the dog and who ever has it at the end gets a prize
dice: bunco is simply a dice game.. 9 di included.
Horn: we need some kind of noise maker to maintain the games composure.

Any way I am looking forward to it! And Im the sure the boys will to, while all the girls played bunco the boys play halo. haha

Our Classic Halloween Party

Last year I threw a party at my place that consisted of the old classic reasons why halloween parties existed. Games, relays, bobbing for apples, scary games and what not. So we thought we would go round two this year.
Location: Dustee, Annie, Brinly, Seirra s place
Time: 8:00 (which mean 9:00) to our friends
Menu: Bread bowls that looked like pumpkins and skeletons. Filled with chilli.
Agenda: Mafia, Bobbing for apples, Donut Relay, Other random games that dont have names.
and of course just enjoying everyones company.
Actual Events: We didnt end up getting to the donut relay because we were having too much fun with mafia, which i would like to add me and carly murdered everyone! Heck yeah! Then bobbing for apples we won again! Then we played Andy's hilarious game that goes as follows..
Two teams, Boys vs. Girls. Everyone writes down three words that they think the opposite gender wouldnt know.
Round 1 you can say anything you want to describe the word, except the actual
Round 2 can only say two words
Round 3 no words.
the game is just full of endless laughs

The whole night was a blast and we didnt end up calling it a night til serious 3am. Here are the pics from the night! Enjoy!

Hallofunkoween!

So Friday our plans were to double with our friends Jamie and Alex. We ended up going to the trio, which is really good and I recommend it. Had pleasant conversation of course and lots of laughs. They are just a hoot to hang out with. After that we met up at Dustees with everyone to go to a dance party down town. We tossed the idea back and forth because of how expensive it is. Well finanlly at 10 30 we decide to just go since we were all already dressed up for it.

Two car fulls, heading down town.. let me just state first off this is the first night opening so no one has heard of it or has a clue where it is. So once we park somewhat near our destination, we began our trek. (literally)

So we are walking around aimlessly trying to find the nonexistent coordinates. Of course while hopping around snapping pics and so forth. We end up walking through parking lots, dark alleys, and going through a torn fence, over rail road tracks to finally approach a RIDICULOUS line. Just great right? hahah The ten of us were split up due to that simple fact that we were following line courteousy guidelines. The rest got in within a blink of an eye while me jordan jess and garrett wait for an hour in line.

So after waiting in line to get padded down from security to a line to pay to another line that takes card to another line that actually lets you in the door with the ticket you have been holding for literally two seconds you enter into the doors of CLUB RAIL.

Not gonna lie pretty sweet set up and a butt load of people. We danced the night away and then once done had the long trek back to our cars. Didnt go to sleep til after 3 and had work the next morning at 8. Lovely.

Unexpected Events

Ya know when you make plans to hang out with someone you have an idea what to expect when you hang out. Whether it be just talking, watching tv, or whatever the case may be.. however last night was a little bit different.
The evening started out as any other... Jordan came over, made dinner, ate, put brock to sleep, and then headed Justin and Lindsey's. Walk in to Justin playing super nintendo (expected) Jordan joins in (expected) and me and lindsey talk(expected) We go get dessert because well no one can resist it. come back and what is suggested to finish out the evening..
movie?
nintendo?
talk?
just hang out?
oh no..
HIDE AND SEEK (unexpected)
hahah What a funny suggestion, but it turned out to be sooo fun! Just to give you an overview.. Round one: IT: Justin/ Hiders:Jordan (crouched 2 ft away from where he was counting. it was so dark he walked right by, the only way he was found is his dad called him and his phone went off! Lor(Under bathroom sink, smallest space ever!) Linds (pretty much stood in the hall way haha)
Round two: IT: Jordan Hiders: Justin (bedroom closet, jordan touched him and he still didnt know he was in there, Jordan got so frustrated he was whispering in spanish to try to make him laugh, what a tactic right?) Lor: Tried multiple spots, all failed. i am for sure not as small as i use to be, i couldnt fit anywhere so i ended up throwing pillows on me and called it good. Linds: scared the poop out of him, she was in another closet and when he opened the door she threw a pillow and jordan screamed haha. Its rare i see him get scared so i enjoyed it.
Round three: me and linds were it cuz we were too scared to do it alone.. and as soon as we finished counting walked like 5 steps and they jumped out and scared us, those boys.
All in all, great night!

The Ol' Crew

Every Year in the middle of October a group of our friends put on a ball. It is formal attire and everyone wears a mask. It was way fun! Jordan had the opportunity of wearing the 'V' mask from V for Vendetta and acted like the character all night, it was mildly entertaining to say the least. Even just walking up to the party he was swinging around the light post, frolicking throughout the streets, and of course speaking the lines all night long. My mask was just a cute pirate mask and thats pretty much that.
Half way through the dance we got rid of the masks cuz lets face it gets to freaking hot. They had a delightful different taste of music from miley cyrus, 80s, and of course gangsta rap. We owned it all!

For friday, me and jordan went out to dinner just us! It has been awhile of just me and him going to dinner so it was quite refreshing. We went to Mikados which is this delish!!!!!! sushi place and we both love it. After dinner we met up with jesse and garrett and went hot tubbing at snowbird. My parents have a two time shares up there so we took advantage of that! Other then that it was an enjoyable weekend! I am so excited for this week, so much going on!!

*pumpkin carving

*preping our awesome customes

HALLOWEEN IS A WONDERFUL TIME! (except the scary part of it, cuz well I'm chicken) BUT STILL!!

The Long Weekend

Well this weekend was quite pleasant I had thursday friday and saturday off of work just because I have so much vacation time to use by the end of the year.
Friday was probably the most fun filled day because Jordan used one of his vacation days and we just played together all day. We started off the morning and the Blue Plate Diner. Delish!!! by the way I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes breakfast foods. Then after we went to the salt lake temple and did baptisms for the dead. We had the pleasure of meeting this lady, we became very close with her.. not emotional wise but physically! Two sentences in to talking to her she asked me to scratch her back. ( as most of you know me, i am far from a touchy feely person so hearing this i was like whaaaat?) Any way I began lightly grazing her back. To make things worse she kept saying harder Harder HARDER... over up down in around left right. I began using my entire body just digging trying to fulfill this annoying scratch. Um weird hahah. We finally were interrupted when she was asked to go do confirmations guess what!!!! She did the same thing!! I was laughing so hard it was unreal.
Once we finished there we cleaned up (showered and got ready for the day) did a little shopping, met up with Justin and Lindsey and we went to the Art Center down town. Best part about this, its free! We had the opportunity of listening to Jordan interpret each piece. Then we met up with Justins bro and wife and jordans and had a nice little group date at Chillies. That pretty much wrapped up our evening.
Saturday was fun too! Slept in. Conference. Lunch with Cur, Annie, and Lindsey. Shopping. Hung out with my dad and brother. Pic Swap with Cur. Dinner with Jordan's fam. Annies B day. Rock Band. Super Nintendo with Justin and Lindsey. Freaking Sweet!!!

The Knudsen Cabin

Friday Night we got the invite to spend the night up at the Knudsen's cabin and it was so much fun! We picked up dinner and ate it around the table like a little family, it was the cutest thing ever. Then we went for a long four wheeling ride and went up to the lake, enjoyed the scenic view as well as the company! After that we headed back to sit around a camp fire and tell stories. We all had a blast and here are the pics to prove it!

BUNCO!!!

Bunco is a parlour game played in teams with three dice. A winning throw in Bunco is to throw three of a kind of a specified number.

Ok so granted most women that tend to play this game are old, however this game is fantastic! Jessie Ballard invited me to one that she plays in on a monthly basis because they were short and we all had the so much fun. So i was curious if anyone else would be up for starting our own bunco. You play once a month and twelve people are needed. Anyway let me know, i know there is already a few that have mentioned being a part of it, but now i actually want to put it all together. So again let me know!

Another exciting event.. Flash Foward premiered last night and it was the most intense episode. It is about the whole world blacking out for 2 minutes and 19 seconds and things are just chaos, if any of you can put in time to this show cuz it is phenomenal! ABC thursday at 7!
