Merry Christmas!!!!

Happy Birthday to my beloved Savior! I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to him because he is very special and fills my life with his spirit and makes everyday a blessing and a chance to better and to be forgiven for my sins. He is the greatest example of love, service, forgiveness, kindness charity and a perfect being whos love endures forever and triumphs over evil! How blessed are we to know him. He is my comforter and friend. There is a song that makes me cry, it is about Mary and I never get tired of listening to it. I bolded my favorite part. her CD called Gifts is worth every penny, every song is beautiful!

Here is her website: http://www.cheriecall.com/albums/songs/gifts/IJustKnew.html

I Just Knew (Cherie Call and Tyler Castleton)
He’s the son of a king, but He came to us with nothing

No purple robe, no crust of bread

With His soft tiny hands, He reached out for me to hold Him

There was no crown upon his head

So I guess that I should not have been surprised

When I saw the human tears in His holy infant eyes

And no one ever taught me how to sing

A lullaby for the son of a mighty king

But when I held Him in my arms

And I rocked Him just the way that mothers do, I just knew

Just as we knew he would be, He lived so selflessly

He was a legend in the land

People came from far and wide, they looked at Him with pleading eyes

Longing for the healing in His hands

And in those endless busy days

He still had time for me, He always found a way

And no one ever told me how to love

A healer and a teacher sent from up above

But when He cared for me and helped me

In the tender way that only He could do, I just knew

In sunlit moments I could see me in the traces of His smile

I know He came from me

But He was better than this world would allow

I could not save Him when He died

Now it seems that He’s the one who holds me when I cry

And everybody asks me how I’m sure

That the little boy I raised is our Redeemer

I could list the dreams and prophecies

And miracles that prove His mission true

But in all honesty

Every moment I was with him, I just knew

My New Love...

This is my new love! Basketball players! Just kidding. But on Monday, January 5, 2009 I will be watching a Jazz game, wearing a Jazz shirt, blue makeup on my face with the numbers 15, 31 written on my "I LOVE you" poster! haha :)

Tara and I decided that for fun we are going to act like crazy sports fanatics at the game and go all out. So that post will come in January! I went to the NBA site and looked up players and these were the ones that I thought were the cutest so they are the ones I am cheering on! :) I love Sports..............Players!

Happy game, Happy game :)

A puppy party for our little animal lover!

My little cousin had a fun party where all the family got together to eat, talk and watch presents being opened! I love being by my CA family. They are the best!

I LOVE this picture, to see her cute little face through the bucket makes it unique and fun!

Giving Laura her Christmas gift

Our little cutie!

Birthday Girl!

My Aunt and her boys

I love this dress it is beyond cute, the picture does not even do it justice. Wendy's Mom always finds the cutest stuff!

All the presents!

Brendon's friend! She was super sweet and cute! To be really young again (they have to be really young, because I am young! )

Sleeping Beauty dreaming of her prince!

What a sight to see.... Marie Osmond as tiny as can be!

My limo to stardom awaits me!

Look how tiny she is and to know she was a regular size before, is kind of inspiring to me! haha :)

My Aunt and I made a stop at Tai Pan Trading Company, a store based in Utah that recently debuted in California. Marie was there to sign autographys. We were a little late to get her signature, but not late enough to be a few feet from her and her limo!

My favorite kind of food...Homemade!!!

The noodles were so good! This is pretty simple to make actually based on Caralee's time saving tricks. Like buying already cooked chicken and shredded carrots.

Please ignore how badly I look, I really did not feel like getting cute and so it was all about being comfortable that night!

Caralee disappeared back in October after my birthday, not to be seen until two Friday's ago. Where on a rare occasion she was free and asked me to come over and bake bread with her and make homemade chicken soup! She is in her senior year and has now finished it and is a graduate. Except that she is like me and never done learning or having fun and so she is doing classes for fun at the community college. She wants to take pilot lessons. We had fun catching up, eating yummy soup and watching Evan Almighty. I loved getting to make homemade stuff! It reminded me of my fun years in Idaho and going to all my friends houses where their Mom's made homemade bread, soups, pies, etc... Such food heaven!!
