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!
