So I'm sorry if my blog description offends anyone, but this is what our blog is called around our house (by Dave, I would never..) I'm always hearing... are you on the ___ blog again or my homework is more important than that___ blog so anyway I thought I would make him happy and title it accordingly so....
PS please don't think any less of my wonderful husband he is just like anyone else but has colorful words once and awhile.
PSS I am also doing something else he has wanted since I started our ___ blog... WERE GOING PRIVATE!! This wont be a fast change but I need to start getting emails so when I figure out how to switch I can.So leave me a comment with your info. Thanks!!

Valentines Day 2009!
So I haven't always been a big fan of Valentines Day but since Ive been married I think its nice to have a "special" day to show your spouse how you feel about them. So this year I was in charge of V-Day and so after Dave got off work we went to lunch at Quizno's(Dave's favorite),then went shopping with my little sister and her boyfriend and ended the night hanging out with my family... I know what your thinking not your average V-Day that's what Dave thought also. He told me I didn't set the bar very high for next year... little did he know.
On Monday I pick him up from work like usual and told him I have one more surprise and asked him to close his eyes when he opened them we were standing in the Biker Roadhouse at the Anniversary Inn. It was great he was so surprised and had to take back what he said about the bar being set for next year. We had a great time it was nice to relax and enjoy each other plus it is such a fun room it has a pool table and a pinball machine. And don't worry Dave got just what he wanted.. a Texas Longhorn blanket, and a love candy poster! We had a wonderful Valentines and a looking forward to next year when Dave is in control. Ha I'm sure he is open of suggestions if anyone has some good ones!

Busy, Busy!
Shredding the Beav, Ute Pride, Super bowl Sunday and a new little Merkely!!
So last Thursday me and a couple of friends from work headed up the mountain to refresh our mad boarding skills or should I say lack there of... either way we had a great time hanging out and visiting. By our last run we were actually feeling pretty good about our skills ;) but had to call it quits because we couldn't handle one more ride up the lift in the freezing cold wind. Either way we had a Blast and might try it again sometime.
Next I got to head down to Provo for the weekend to watch my AWESOME little sisters drill team state competition which they won, that's right your looking at the 3A State Champions! Whoot Whoot!! I am so proud of her she is a wonderful dancer and worked so hard to get where she is, she put in so many hours and sacrificed so many things so its awesome to see the pay off she gets. I love you Megan your such a Great girl!!
Plus I have to give a shout out to the DDY (Drill Dad of the year) yes my Dad got nominated the drill dad of the year for yelling and clapping the loudest, given it was award by the moms that were just sitting around us but I will 2nd that nominee he even split the skin on his hands from clapping his hands so hard and loud. He is very supportive of all of his kids and takes pride in everything we do, (both my parents do they are Wonderful) I love you guys!! Again Congrats Meg! Go UTES.
Then on Sunday when I got home we headed over to Sid (bro) and Michelle's (sis-in-law) to watch the Super Bowl we had a good time relaxing, eating, sleeping, (just me)
oh yeah and watching the game. But really lets be honest the best part of the day was the hour long episode of the office after the game. I know Sid and Michelle would have rather spent super bowl Sunday in the hospital having the baby but she held out till Tue. morning around 5 when she final had baby Brock but either way we had a good time hanging out and Congrats on the not so little guy (8 lbs 15.4oz) he is a doll!!
The cute Baby Brock..

Happy New Year!!
To ring in the new year we spent the night with some of our friends eating dinner and playing games. We had a great time and our proud to say we are the 2 time champs of the amazing race. Thanks guys for putting on a rocking party!!
Then we spent New Years day relaxing, laying around, and with family. Dave parents had us up for a nice dinner and then we headed to my sisters to see my parents who drove up for the weekend.
Someone once told me the way you spend the first day of the year reflects on how your year will go... so I think were off to a good start.

The Reason for the Season
I'm sure like everyone else we had a great Christmas. We were able to spend time with the family, play games, relax,and eat and eat and eat.
My sister in law Kimi told me she was expecting me to have some fun activities planned to keep her entertained since the grand kids weren't coming this year so in case you ever have to entertain a 27 year old girl here are some ideas... make a gingerbread house, take her sledding, build a snowman, act out the Nativity scene, and have plenty of board games on hand. I think she along with everyone else had a great time this week, I know I did. Although we were glad to see the kids when they did come. We let them play Rock Band which they loved and they were really good at it to. We are really grateful for our families and love that we got to spend time with them over the holiday.
All in all we had a fun filled holiday and got everything we needed and wanted.
Like I said we all had our wants and needs met... who's was a want and who's was a need Im not sure.

Tis' the Season
So the other night we had our annual Christmas Sweater party. We had dinner, played games, did the white elephant gift exchange (Some of the gifts were more kid orientated and others more adult) it was funny to see everyones reactions to the gifts.
We had a great time with everyone and hope to do it again soon.
I know we aren't wearing sweaters but it was the best I could come up with, plus I think they were cute
Eating dinner and relaxing
Jons prize
Trevors prize
I think both boys will get use their gifts.

Turkey Day...
So I know Thanksgiving is over but before I jump into Christmas I just wanted to write a few things I'm thankful for...
1. My WONDERFUL husband he is the best thing that have Ever happened to me.
2. Our families they are so fun to be around and so supportive of us.
3. The gosple I dont know where I would be with out it.
4. My health I hope I can say that in a few months when the sick kids hit us at work.
5. Shoes, Clothes, Food, Shelter, Sleep, Movies, T.V., Internet,My job, My friends, Vacations and many other things...
So anyway this year we spent Thanksgiving with my family in Vernal, we had a very fun but busy holiday. We started off Wednesday night seeing Twilight with all the girls, then the boys had the famous turkey bowl on Thursday morning
Then we had dinner at my grandma rose's (she does a Wonderful job) and right after headed off to meet the other side of the family for our family pictures. After pictures headed back to grandmas for dessert and games. (Im still waiting to get our family pictures)
Friday woke up early (thanks to Jett) so we got a jump start on the day concerting we had two baby showers one for my cousin Jill and then after one for my sister-in-law Michelle
And ended that night with a big family poker game.
Saturday we had a little break during the day but sent the family on a wild goose chase that night, literally. We played the "amazing race" which even though they all had something to say about how they would have changed it they had fun and all want to play it again. And to end the holiday weekend we had a candle lit game of phase 10 not because we thought it would be fun but because there was a black out. So all in all a great fun weekend.
Now bring on Christmas...
