Weekend with the Snows!

This weekend Flew by i cant believe how busy it was. On Friday we got together with 3 of Jakes friends and their Wives. We first went and watched Chels perform at the Davis game and then went out to dinner. It was so much fun to spend sometime with friends after a while i think Jake and I get sick of each others lame jokes and we are desperate need of some friends haha! Saturday Chels was going to Homecoming with CJ her super cute boyfriend so i received the honors of doing her hair which took us quite a while and then we took off right after and went to the Ute game and dominated Weber state!

Jake and I have both been born and raised in families obsessed with nature. We decided to go for a ride in the Ranger and enjoy the fall leaves. All the girls were piled in the back and i have seriously never laughed so hard in my life, we were dodging for rocks and trees the whole time and with so much weight in the ranger we though for sure the breaks were going to give out. But the leaves were beautiful and it was so much fun to be with the whole fam on one four wheeler! Thanks Jared for letting us borrow it!

Weekend

I am loving my new work schedule with every other friday off. I am sad the weekend is almost over and i have a full week ahead of me! But we have had a fun couple of days. Thursday night we decided to have a rock band party. It was so fun because my parents got way into it and my very musically talented family was singing on the tops of their lungs!

Saturday we decided to take the boat out one last time before the season was over. It was freezing cold and was in and out of rain the morning but we still found ways to have fun and enjoy the amazing water since there was not any other boats on the lake. Jake Tried skiing for the first time in years and of course my husband is amazing and mastered it perfectly. Here are some pictures of him.

After boating we decided to head down to Ikea and buy a bookshelf for Jake's office. We had a blast we both love the store and we riding the carts all over. The best part was when we had to take the bookshelf home in my car and it barely fit. I was uncomfortable and squished the whole time. The sacrifice we make for gas mileage i do not know why!! 

Quirks

Oh no chels..im not that interesting!! Ill try but it might end up being something totally different.

1. I am absolutly a clean freak. Jake says it is my addiction, which i think is pathetic i just like to live in a clean house. I am happier when its clean and its more welcoming. He says i am over the top when i see a sock laying on the floor and its not picked up in 5 seconds!

2.I dont have very much patience and when i get upset i kinda through little tantrums. Jake hates it, i get it from my dad and we are both working on it but i dont tolerate very much!

3. I have a huge issue with biting my nails. I have tried and tried to stop but nothing will. I have done the nail thing and i miss them like craxy but i always bite them off so there is no point in having them.

4. I hate it when people have something on their face and nobody tells. I am always the first one to be brutally honest and tell you to go blow your nose. Or hand you a piece of gum when your breath stinks!

5. I am extremely afraid of heights. I cant even climb a ladder it scares me to much. I think its cuz i fell off a fence when i was little!

6. I always show my emotions. I have never been one to hide how i feel or what i think because my face tells it all. Every since i was a baby i was the queen of dirty looks, i still give them and not even notice i am. I am sorry to anyone i have ever offended. I really dont mean to, i guess I got this one from my dad too. I used to be called little Edweena!!

I TAG: ANYONE, confess all your quirks!

Its been awhile

A couple weekends ago i was really busy but finally the Ute games have started up again. I am not a student there but have grown up a fan my whole life i guess you could say my family is "Die Hard" fans we have season tickets and even try to go to the away games. Here is a picture of me and my sisters before the first home game started.

On Saturday Jake and I went four wheeling again with JJ and Kellie. It was probably one of the most fun times i have ever had four wheeling. It has started to cool down so it wasnt as hot and we happened to have found a part of Morgan i had no idea even existed. 

Labor Day Weekend

This was quite the busy weekend for Jake and I. But we still were able to find time to have fun. My parents went to Michigan for the weekend to go to the Utah game. Which of course I have to mention the won by two points what a great game and I am so jealous they didnt bring us along with them this time. Since they were gone Jake and I played the parent role all weekend for my sisters. It was a blast we had a great time. On Friday my little sister Paige performed at the football game with the Drill team which she thought was the coolest thing ever, and of course my other sister Kylie had to join, she just got to the Junior High age when its way cool to go to the High School games and see all the cute boys! She had a crazy little story that happened to her that night. Its kinda long but i have to tell it. She was with her friends taking pictures and she accidently put her camera on the ground. She was sitting down for a while and then got up and left. About two hours later she realized she never picked her camera up. She went over there and of course it was gone. She comes up to me after the game just bawling and so upset. Kylie decided we needed to say a prayer and ask to have help to find her camera. We all decided to split up and look all over until we found it. But the camera was nowhere to be found. Jake was on his own and asked some random kid not anywhere near where kylie was when she left it. And he said he saw someone pick it up. All he knew was that his name was Devin and he worked at Taco Maker. We left the game and drove to taco maker and got the kids phone number. Jake called him up and got him to confess to stealing Ky's camera and met up with us and gave it back. It was crazy. Jake said once he met the guy he was shocked how honest he was about it, it was such a miracle and definately made Kylies day! I am still shocked that we just so happened to find the guy who took the camera and then he answered and brought it to us. She is one lucky girl!!

On Saturday we drove to Draper to see my Aunt and Uncle and their kids. They needed help putting in their yard and Jake is the perfect guy for the job. He has all the equipment from work to get it done quickly but it still took us about 5 hours to get all the dirt and rocks where they needed to go. I had a blast, They have a 3 year old little boy that became my best friend at lake powell and we just played the whole time. I had no idea a little kid could love me so much he is darling. Here are some pictures of him.

After we left draper we went four wheeling in Morgan at Grandpa Russells property. It was a blast, it was the first time Paige has ever been and she was having the time of her life.

The rest of our weekend was way chill and just whatever it was good to have an extra day to get house work done and grocery shopping before Jakes old companion came and stayed with us last night. All is well with the Shaws!!
