MY DYSON

My sweet and loving boyfriend bought me my dream vacuum!!! A Dyson DC17 Absolute Animal! I am basically giddy about it! I even went

home and dreamt I was vacuuming my bedroom, it was filthy and I busted in with my vacuum to save the day! How sad is that??? Holly had lost a very lucrative bet, therefore bound to buy me one herself. But now she is off the hook and might have to take me on a cruise instead. It was a very unwise bet on her part :) But the fact of the matter is that I now have my very own Dyson and I am so freaking excited! Thanks Honey!

Pay It Forward Fun

There's a small catch though...Post this same thing on your own blog and then come back and leave a comment telling me you're in. Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift!

Craft Time!

THE POMANDER I JUST FINISHED MAKING......

........ AND WHAT TO DO WITH THEM

Didnt it turn out cute??????? It was so easy too! No Scott and I are not engaged... however this hypothetical wedding is only like 7 months away, so I am experimenting in the craft department. I had a lighter pink that was pretty... but it was going to cost at least double to make them... the flowers did not go nearly as far as I thought they would! Now of course, we are discussing no pink.. since I started a project and all. Therefore, due to color issues, I think I will move on to making calendars. I have a cute template for them. And its already January.

Rewind

Phew! I finally posted my pics from the last 2 months! Yay me! Its starting to occur to me that I kinda suck at this whole blogging thing.... LOL! Oh well huh? On the schedule for February... V-day, Scott and I's 2 year anniversary, and Jenn's bridal shower... including Stripper 101! All of which will be super picture opportunities! This is a preemptive post to cover February :) So concider yourselfs updated!! Okay j/k Ill try to add pics as it goes along....

Girly Day Out

Holly, Jenn and I went to Bridal Spectacular, and of course had to turn it into a picture taking opportunity! We had fun and it was good to have an afternoon with the girls!

We had to improvise writing space to sign up for drawings....

And it was a good thing that we did because I won this "Favor Cake"! It is made up of a bunch of little boxes that you fill with candy... I was so excited when they called!

Everywhere we turned there was more cupcakes and cake tastings! It was SOOOOO good! But we were definately on sugar overload when we got out of there!

I had to take a picture of this dress because I am quite certain that I am In LoVe with it...

HaPpY nEw YeArS

Scott and I had a fun New Years with friends, games, and good junk food... It was a lot of fun and I am glad we were all able to get together! Here's to Divine 09!

This was from Christmas Eve... and I forgot to put it in that post... but they are so stinking cute!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was fun as always... We did a fun little dance routine this year with Mom lip sync'ing to Toby Keith... turned out really good, especially since we had like 2 nights to practice it!


The 2 armed gift wrapping contest... they tied our middle arms together and we werent allowed to use them.... Russ and I's gift was beautiful.... we didnt realize it wasnt a contest on how it looked, it was a contest on who did it the fastest. Oops.
Mom and Art...

Me, Russ, and Grandma Donna

Our amazing little dance routine to Santa's Got a Hot Rod Sleigh.... its behind us so you cant see it very well... but Mom made a really good "hot rod sleigh"

The winners of the snowman decorating....

Gingerbread Cookies with my Babies

I had a horrible time trying to get home for Christmas due to crappy weather... I got there a day later than planned meaning I wasnt going to get much time with my girls, but Angie brought them out to Grandmas and we all had a slumber party! I picked up a cute gingerbread cookie decorating kit to keep us busy...


Kelsy's cookies didnt last very long... I think she was the only one who ate hers.. . Maddy is missing her two front teeth and its stinking adorable.

My BrOtHeR

My baby bro came and it was so great to have him here!! HAHA Scott kept talking about what a great mood I was in the whole time he was here... I just needed some family time! Russ didnt really get much of him gambling time in... but I kept him busy with other stuff... I wish we lived closer so that we could play more! Love you Brother!


We went to the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village...

Where we got to ring the bell in the little firemans house....

And sit in Santa's sleigh!

We also went ice skating out at Lake Las Vegas...

Russ has asked me every time he has come to visit to take him to Terribles Casino so that he could join the players club and get this free hat.... He had himself all hyped up and was so disappointed when he actually got there... but he still got the hat!

Disneyland

Our little princess Holly always wants to go to Disneyland for her birthday.... and her mean mean roommates always say no because it is right before Christmas... but this year they granted her birthday wish and said yes! We had a really good time and the weather was perfect... Holly was like a little kid she was so excited... Im glad we got to go and make her happy!

Me and the boy toy waiting in a forever long ride
