Las Vegas 2010

Las Vegas 2010 

We took a bunch of trips to Las Vegas this past year and they were so much fun.  The first time El and I just went and it was awesome!  We saw so many things and went into every single casino.  We were there for 2 nights at the stratosphere and it was amazing.  It was our first trip after being married, so it was a lot of fun for us to go somewhere.   We went again like 6 months later with a group of friends and it was fun too, but it was different.  There was probably like 12 of us, and we had 2 separate rooms  (we got stuck in the married room because one of the girls couldn't bare to be away from her husband (even though they both act like they are not married)  NOT IMPRESSED WITH THEM AT ALL!!!  since then they have pretty much cut us out of their life ( probably due to the wife) so I guess not much lost.    The third time we went was with our friends Seth and Brittany and it was really fun!  We did so much shopping at the malls!  El's favorite store is Ecko and they the closest store is in Vegas.  So he bought more than he ever has in his life I think.  He has a totally new wardrobe now and I LOVE IT!!!!!  Anyways, I have combined all the trips into a little scrapbook album here.  It was fun, a different style than I usually do.  Again I got my designs from Sprouting Seeds Studio ( a great website for great ideas and freebies)  Definitely check it out!   I also get some of my stuff from digiscrap studio as well.  they are really good to search for freebies as well, and they have some pretty good inspirational ideas as well.

Christmas in Canada 2010

Christmas 2010 in Canada

Christmas was so much fun in Canada, and the weather was surprisingly warm ( warmer than Salt Lake if you can believe it!) The whole family came up which made it really special.  They all wanted to see me pregnant and see El again since the last time they saw him was at our wedding more than a year ago

The guys had so much fun together it was so awesome.  It was as though they were never appart.

The infamous Christmas dinner.  My mom and everyone put so much effort into this dinner it was so great.  Aunt Brenda being the crafty person she is made both center pieces for the kitchen table and the dinning room table.  Great job!!! they turned out beautiful.  She filled a vase full of water and then put in holly and let it just float in it.  She then put floating candles on the top.  It was really nice!  The dinning room table one she got real holly and spruce and other branches and leaves and arranged an amazing beautiful piece with two candles sticking out.  

The dinner was so good, especially the Turdukin ( Turkey, Duck and Chicken)  Supper expensive but very good.  Although El though it was a bit bland, but he is all about the spice.  The dinner was fun even though you couldn't hear a single person talking and the entire 13 of us were all yelling across the table at who ever. lol  It was so much fun though.  My mom even got those party poppers and we all had to put the ugly hats on and read aloud our corny jokes.  It wouldn't be Christmas with out them though!

On our way out.  Always a sad time.  I hate leaving home, especially when I never get to see them.  At least my mom is coming down beginning of February early to help me get ready for baby Natalie who is coming soon now!!!  February 11th.  I can not wait!!!!! :)

Our Family

19 days until Natalie comes and I can not wait.  I am about to pop!  seriously!  We have almost everything done for her.  Nursery is almost done and my awesome sister-in-laws are throwing me a baby shower this saturday which I am way excited for!

We are so excited for Natalie to get here and add to our family.  I just graduated from the U in psychology and Eldon my husband is currently at SLCC doing his generals for an engineering degree.  We are planning on moving up to Logan next year for him to go to USU.  We are both super excited to head up there.

Right now we are living in northern Salt Lake which is really fun!  My husband works at a battery warehouse and drives while doing school and I currently work at Bio Kids a daycare/preschool.  But I only have 3 and half more days of work until I am done and ready for baby.
