For Me

After a long stressful week at work I came home and found two sweet surprises.... As I walked up the stairs and walked into the kitchen there was a vase full of BEAUTIFUL flowers accompanied by a LETTER. Ryan turned my frown upside down.... When I began to read the thoughtful words he wrote down on this piece of paper, tears filled my eyes. This is one of the reasons why I LOVE my RY PIE so much!

Love U Ry xoxox

I'm glad you're ALL MINE

fun fun fun

  

      Katrice

Saturday morning Ryan and I had the pleasure of watching Katrice in one of her Special Olympic Events! Bowling!.... It really meant ALOT for Ry and I to be there because in the past when we've been invited we were always out of town. Luckily The Pendletons and Mileys have been apart her fan club for a while and The Yorks got on the list that day. We truly enjoyed watching Tweece pose for the camera and show us her famous dance moves. Love ya Tweecie


AVATAR was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I have attempted to go see this Famous Flick THREE times and it was either sold out or we had to sit in the first two rows. ANYWAYS I agree with my co-worker Aubrie "I want to be an AVATAR." It had such a powerful message and the special affects were SPECTACULAR!!!! Ryan...who said he wouldn't be caught dead watching that movie had good things to say. So on that note I will be purchasing this flick :)

        
                                                                           Sand Dunes


Sunday morning we got on the good foot as Ry likes to say and went Four wheeling!!!! The pure white snow and contrasting brown sand was so beautiful! It was nice to get away from the BIG CITY and enjoy the FRESH air. I have to admit I kinda got scared on some of the bigger sand hills... Ry was nice enough not to ride around and around in the sand bowls too. Yeah I'm a chicken.

MoM's 60th!!!

Yes! DOT turned 60 on January 13th and we celebrated with a BANG! My mom had a smile on her face the whole evening! It was quite the turnout....With the decision to have a Potluck, we had a lot of different choices. I had such a good time and I know everyone really enjoyed themselves :)

Good times

This year we decided to go to the cabin for New Year's... Murray and Sandra actually passed on the tradition this year. It was so nice to just get away from the city. The pine trees and quiet were pretty relaxing. I have to admit though, I did enjoy the sleding. After flying down the hill and crashing into a bush, I would quickly jump up and go back for more. We spent a lot of time outside and I was fortunate to get some nice warm boots before our weekend adventure (thanks Ry for letting me splurge). Saturday night we (Melanie and myself) made a gingerbread house with Maici. I have been begging Ry since December 1st to decorate one so I was pretty pleased with Mel's surprise :) This New Year's weekend was definitely in my top three....

 We are so excited for 2010 let more good times begin

Our Obsession

We cannot stop talking about "THE HANGOVER".... WE ARE OBSESSED!! Seriously Ryan and I have watched it several times. We continue to tell people different quotes from the infamous actors... "so did the real Cesar live here"... 


We need help....

Our Happy Holiday

We truly enjoyed spending time with our family on Christmas! Marvin and Janine picked up a special delivery from the airport... Lisa flew in from Arizona to complete our magical morning! Marvin made us omelets and scones with some help from Janine. My mom joined us that morning as we ate breakfast and  opened presents.... we also enjoyed the company of James, Katy, Avery... (who looked ADORABLE in  her red dress), Auntie Glo, Tweece (who passed out cute new school pics), Gav, and sweet Jayden... we discovered that she LOVES books!!! We completed the evening over at Dan's house with the Three Amigos (Dan, Mel, and Maici). WOW!! We are sooo blessed with wonderful family, our health, great jobs, and our friends. HAPPY HOLIDAYS...

We wish you ALL a safe and happy 2010

Christmas Eve

Ryan got to sit on Santa's lap at Paul and CarolAnn's house! It was such a fun night...I even got to participate in the activities! We ate delicious food, sang Christmas songs, and read merry stories. We are truly blessed with such amazing family and friends
