Ice Skating

So we have this tradition ever since i was a little girl and wanted to ice skate in the Olympics to go ice skating every year around the holidays! Thankfully I have a good husband that is willing to ice skate with us! I take it upon myself to teach all the little ones that come, because when i get out there I become the next Michell Kwan! It's always fun to go because pretty much everyone in our family enjoys it and its something different than just going out to eat together or to the movies. This year it was just the Utah families that came, Justin (my oldest brother) and Laurie and their kids Emma, Kiara, and Tim. My Mom also came and of Coarse the Westovers (me and Mike). Mike and I didn't fall once!Mike and I also went on a double date with Chase Parry and Sara Rasmussen. That was fun because Mike fell three times! It was fun though being with them because it made Mike and I feel like we were dating again! It was like falling in love with our goofy selves all over again! I love ice skating and suggest everyone does it for a nice change of dating or family outing scene!



This is Emma Mike and myself!

Valentines Day


Muuuuah! Happy Valentines day!
So how was your little love Holliday? Ours was blissfull! ... Well as blissfull as you can get in the real world. It was very tender, i do say that my husband is just the sweetest thing i could ask for!
Well the day started out with me waking up so sick i could have cried! But i had all ready promised Radawn that I would help her with the flowers at Costco. See it was her first time doing flowers on Valentines, let me rephrase that, flowers at Costco on Valentines day! so i knew she would need as much help as possible no matter how crappy my sick help would be. I took a vacation day at work and went in for her at nine am. it was madness and lets just say the flowers were the only thing keeping people from noticing how horrible i looked! Well after the crazy day i left to go get ready for the secret night that Mike and Aaron Brady had planned for me and Brady's wife Rachel.
I still had to pick up Mike's watch(his valentines present) and i promised myslef i would do my hair the way mike liked it, no matter how long it took. see mike happens to like my hair done the way it takes me longest, barrel curled with the curling iron, yes layer by layer small loose curls, and anyone who knows or has seen my hair knows i have quite a bit!!! It took an hour plus the makeup and the perfect black outfit... needless to say i wasn't on time,but my sweet little husband was so patient with me! They then proceeded to blind fold us and take us to the secret place that they had planned our little night.
We were inside and they removed the blind fold and we were in the basement of my in laws and it was dimmly lit with candels and the table was set for us four and it was so cutely adorned with valentine themed decorations, thanks in some part to my sweet mother in law! It was so tender!!!! They had cooked the meal all by themselves, Rachel even cried! They made us a grilled steak and mash potato dinner garnished with salad, fruit, and sparkling ciders! isn't that tender! My husband is so thoughtfull, the night was perfect except the fact that i was exasted and hacking up a lung!
