I love me some Cookies!

Here are the Christmas Cookies from 2011! This and the Senior Citizen Center are probably my to most favorite things to do for Christmas! This is cookie decorating for the strong not the Faint in hearted! we started at 4 and then didn't finish the last cookie till around 11! (it was so late because we had saved about 50 for Natalie and Shauny Boy!) (side story for a very large portion of shaun's life I called him shauny boy until I called him that in his government class! Boy was I in trouble! Good thing he loves me lots!)  These are my favorites of my cookies, I think they are and are pretty much the best!

We love to make missionaries and missing family members out of the cookies!

Melissa (My besties not me I don't  have black hair)

My Raindeer that turned out amazing it I may say so myself!

Its a production!

Julianne bought us these super cool  cookie cutters!

Christmas Cowboy hat! 

The Final Project! I know it is crazy but there were a lot less then there usually is!

Motab and Shoes what more can you say!

So this weekend was really jammed packed! The Lemmon's invited us to go down to  Salt Lake to the Motab choir concert! So we hitched a ride with a few girls in my ward and did a little shopping before! I bought five pairs of shoes! Most of them for a good deal so I only feel slightly guilty! I have a problem I know but they were so cute! Yes, I know that admitting it is the first step, now if I only knew what the second step was I would be good! My cousin Nathan came with us it was a lot of fun!

This is not the whole gang! we lost them but decided to take a picture and I would like to say that I am so proud of Debra for taking the picturewith Natalie in it! We only had to turn around the phone for her and show her the right button to  push twice!

Corny Movies!

    I really really love Holiday movies! I really love Hallmark and Lifetime moves! It is a Wilding Family tradition to watch as many as we can and then tease Kyle about wanting a Christmas romance.  Here are some new favorties!

12 Dates of Christmas

Annie Clause is Coming to Town

Just one Warning the Cheeser the Christmas message and the Acting the better! 

Do I love my Christmas Tree!

The Answer is YES!

Quote From Natalie: Your Christmas Trees has Character like only your tree can!

Oh Christmas Tree!

Robby is super excited to get his first Trees! He thinks we are awesome

One of our Families favorite Christmas pass times is to go and get our own Christmas Trees! My favorite part of it is most definaly the fact that I can sing as loud as I and my Dad can't yell at me to be quite! We laugh all the whole time! This year was difficult because we didn't have Christmas Music!

The Gangs super duper excited!

Dad is super excited this is his most favorite thing ever!

Gotta Love the coat!

Robby is ready to go!

Camp never looked so Beautiful!

Kenna and I were ready to die on the sled because of the exhaust for the 4 wheeler!

The snow was really deep and I fell going down the mountain and  couldn't get back up!

No one  helped me up! I got up myself!

Robby trying to be Santa or something like it...! 

 I need to explain why this tree is as big as me! My dad picked out the most beautiful tree in the world! We shock the snow off and then Robby cut down his first Tree! Well when we started to push it on the side! Well the most beautiful tree had branches that were frozen to the ground that we didn't see because of the two feet of snow!  Yup the branches once released went wong and shot right up! to form the not so beautiful tree!

Kenna enjoying her time in the snow!

Driving his first 4 wheeler!

Kyle sporting my coat after her gave me his because I was wet! He  is such a  good brother!

We had a lot of fun but this blog would not be complete with out the mention that my family was seriously was missing a member of our family! Dearest Michael will most defiantly be there next year!

Just So You know I am going to ROCK IT!

I have decided to reafirm (publicly because those of you that know me really well already know this montra) that what ever life throws at me I am going to Rock It! I make this commitment all the time but sometimes I need to be reminded! Yes things may not be going as I have planed or maybe life sometimes just stink but I am going to Rock It one way or another! Now I know some of you are thinking what does rock it mean! Well It means that I am going to hit what ever comes at me with full Melissaness and make the bad times good and the good times better and the better times awesome and the awesome times spectacular and the spectacular times.... (I really could go on forever because I really like these types of discriptive words- So I will stop because you get the point and I have used my favorites and the ones I can spell) Some times you have to make your own fun! So whenever you are about to do something you really don't want to do or are scared to do just remember that you should Rock It too!

It won the Most Beautiful!

This pumpkin Won the most beautiful Pumpkin at FHE! She might have been the only one on the table but she wore the title proudly!

 

Sad to say she didn't age very well! Substance abuse may have been a factor!

Happy Anniversity House

So I am pulling an Abby! Pretend that you are reading this on October 15, 2011 (I am only a month late)

My House and I have been together for a whole year! I know that you are very surpised that I could commit to somthing for that long but it has happened! What a year it has been! I have had such a great journey with this money sucking pit (which I say with but really house are expensive because you want to decorate them and improve them! This next year I am on a freeze)!

Some of the Improvements are:

No More Ugly Pole! I had Andrew and Shaun Lemmon put in a sprinkler system, extra parking spot, and since we were at it new Landscaping!

Redid the whole upstairs:

Some people look at a purple wall and ask why! I look at a purple wall and say Why Not!

Every room was also painted from Kenna's old room of Bright red and white, My shade lighter then Lafonda Teal, and the slate blue in Kim's old room it is a house full of color! We also cleaned the woodfloors in the extra room so that Kim could move in! (next time we will need to check the floors before we remove the carpet)

We have had great times in this house! Dance Parties, Bridal and Baby Showers, Pizza Parties, Smore Parties, and a ton of laughter! We have gone through many roommates Kim Clinger (lost to Rexburg where she is working her dream job), Kenna Wilding (because the crazy girl changed her name to Morgan), Meagan Richards (who is temperally in Washington and will come back in January). So most nights it is Just me and the house but we are surviving! 

Like Brother Like Brother!

One day I got this text from Kimberly my sister in law! I know that many of you are not suprised to see that Michael could fit into the Drier! But many of you may not know that Kyle to can fit in a Drier too! Sure he had to take off his shoe to get in all the way in!

 

Getting out was a different story! The hole was uber little!

Heart touching Teaching Moments

So I have always wanted to be one of those crazy teachers that you learn a lot from! I have desided that I am probably more of the crazy then the learning! I am working at it! I am had a writting assignment about the Constitution and how it effects the students in their life and this is a quote from one of my student's paper!
 “I can say things with out going to jail. I can belong to any religious groups I want I can dress like I want I have a home where I can live or wher I’m safe I used to live in mexico and I was afraid because the soldiers could come in and take my family members and kill them, and ther was nothing we could do. We didn’t have any rights that’s why I moved to America”
    I have heard from one of the other teachers that his dad was killed by the local drug lord. I really like this student he struggles with English but he trying his hardest! 
    I am truly greatful for all that I have been given. To live in this Country where are freedoms are protected. We forget it and take things for adavantage! I love the USA! We rock!

My New Hair!

So these are aren't good pictures! But they are all I had!

Straight! It looks best this way!

The on side is a little fuzzy because I didn't use hair spray that day!

Homecoming Again! But this on is different!

There are very few things that I would miss conference for but call me a sinner or a rebell if you must but I missed converence to go ISU Homecoming! Because I love ISU! Not as much as the gospel but it is a tradition. I will read the missed conferences! The best part of homecoming is the great friends that love homecoming just as much as I do! Kimberly loves ISU and Homecoming the most!  

We are twiners!

Not that other friends don't love it! I think it is more of a "I am going to love it cause Melissa and Kimberly are crazy! And will make us do it any ways!" attitude.  So here goes the traditions because we are all about tradition! Morning Breakfast, either we go to Elmers or this year it was Jumbo's! Then the parade! We park at the court house and sit some where near the Black Swan! The Parade starts at 10 but we are there by 9:30! If it is a old year then we have hot chocolate but it was so hot this year it made us laugh about the time Kimberly, Kelissa (it is like Melissa but with a K)  and I sat in kim's car trying to stay warm cause even that was cold!  We take pictures of Cami, Natalie, Kimberly and I by sticking out our arms! Michael did it this year and got a perfect shot in one take! (it was taken on Natalies Camera so I don't have it orr maybe Kims) This year we had a lot of extra people! Courtney and Andrew came with their kids which was nice that way our neighbors don't get mad at the space we take up!  Andrew, Kendra, Debra, and Zander came in the middle!  We yell at everything so we always get a ton of candy that no one wants! We sing the Bengal fight song and everything!

We love the game! Even though we hardly ever win! We were super close this year!

Towards the end of the 1st half we always take a picture break!

Funny Faces! The best part of this one is the older lady behinds me face!  The funny part is I am pretty sure that she is the mom of one of my cousin's husbands! Gotta love a big family!

 I heart ISU!
