spring cleanning

One of our goals for the spring time was to clean out our garage.
TWO years later in spring time it happened. Matt did a great job! It was windy and cold outside so I stayed inside. Before the clean sweep it was pretty bad. I didn't take a picture because I was at work when he had started it. You know that it is really bad when you can barely park your little car in there. So trust me this is diamonds now.

Yesterday was our nephew Brody's baby blessing. Just look at our Reed family grow!!!

2 weekends in a row

With Matt's new job change over he has been working a lot of hours. He had to work until 12 pm on Friday night so we woke up at 5 am and drove to St. George to make it there by 10 am for Bradley's baptism. Then the next day on Sunday was Brynnlee's blessing.
It was a very short and sweet trip but we had a lot of fun. We went and played Pickleball at the indoor courts. Now I can't get enough of it but I can't find any place in Salt Lake to play it. That night we played board games. One of the games we played is called "the game of things...". I just went and bought it today and I can't wait to play it again. (i got it at target)
The following Wednesday my sister in law Annie went through the temple for the first time. She chose the Manti temple. We hadn't been to that one yet so it was fun to go through it. They took us on a little tour and we got to see the huge staircase. The didn't let us go up it but that was probably a good thing because I didn't bring my camelpak. :) There is a sealing room at the top and there is no elavator so the people that you invite better be able to make it up.

That same week that we had just gotten back from St. George I went back down on Friday night. I went with Matt's sister because he had to stay and work. Mike and Annie got sealed in the St. George temple on Saturday.

So in one week I went to a baby blessing, a baptism, a endowment and a sealing. What a busy week but it was really great.

funny story

We are going to St. George this weekend for my nephew's baptism and my nieces baby blessing. So my dad called me tonight to ask where we were going to sleep when we are down. I had just missed the call so I listen to the message and returned his call with a text staying that I was going to stay at my brothers. We text back and worth for a few minutes then about five minutes later I received a text saying "Love ya." I thought to myself wow that was delayed but how sweet. Then my brother calls me to tell me why it took my dad took a little bit to say love ya to me and its because he text it to the president of the key club, a high school boy. Out of all the text that he was sending me tonight he happened to text a teenage boy "Love ya." The boy replies "WHAT?" My dad then had to quickly call the kid to say sorry I was trying to text my daughter. My dad has a smart phone but just because its smart you still need to know how to use it. Love ya too Dad.

monday in the mountains

We finally made it to go snow blading this winter. We are going to start going every monday.

We always go to the free bunny hill at alta. Every time we get on the lift the guy there makes fun of us.
He did it all last year too. I don't understand why skiers hate us so much. Last year he said, "Do you know whats worse than snow boarders? snow bladers." Then today he said, "Which one is Larry, Curly and Moe." His jokes are very bad but I still want to ask him what his problem is.

But since we go to alta every week for free I better just keep my mouth shut. lol I hope to get really good on my blades this year and maybe even upgrade to real ski's but we shall see. :)

temple square lights

Last week we went to temple square with Mike & Annie.

I am so glad that the weather wasn't that cold. So we enjoyed it better than last year when it was freezzzing.


Annie and I. Look we are the same size. (lol I was on my toes and Annie we bending her knees)

We then went for a drive up through the avenues and Mike showed us this house. It was so cool. The guy was really nice, he was handing out candy canes and he had music playing. He said that he has been collecting these for 14 years.

This was only have of his house I couldn't get the whole house in the picture.

new hair style

This was before I got long hair. And this is baby Brynnlee (niece) when she was 2 1/2 weeks old.
Then on 12/07 my nephew Brody was born and this is me with long hair. My friend at work said that she would put the extendtions in for free so all I had to do was buy the hair.

It took 4 days to complete the process because the first day I had to get them put in then the next day I got my roots colored then the next day I got more put in then the next I got my hair cut. This was at cookie cutters so I had to get a picture of me on clifford.

This was after the hair cut.

And this was before the hair cut. Over all I love it and I don't want to have another hair appointment for a while.

surprise trip

Two weeks ago I worked too many hours in just a few days so I have to take an extra day off of work and so I had 3 days off in a row. Which worked out great because the weather was great so I decided to go to St. George and surprise my family with my presents. :) I love Matthew's eyes in this picture, I think the flash scared him.
My mom of course had tears of joy to see me just walk in. lol This is Jake and I hanging out watching some Nemo. I was at Angie's most of the days sewing and getting everthing ready for Brynnlee. I wish she would have had her when I was down visiting but she's here now.

I got there on Tuesday night and I got to see everyone that night even though it was late and the kids should have been in bed, I was glad that they were still awake to see their Aunt Lynny! The next night we all went swimming at Cody's house, ate pizza and played tennis. I am really sorry Hiromi that you had to have me on your team. I'll have to practice a bit more. The next night Cody took me to a movie and dinner, what a sweet brother. Right before I left to go back home on Friday Jayme wanted to go to lunch with me so this is a picture of us at a Chinese Buffet but Jayme wasn't in the picture because she was taking it. Sorry Jayme for taking you back to school late.

And this was the weather, something that I hadn't felt in months. Thanks family for making my trip so much fun. And thanks Jayme and Cody for letting me sleep on your beds while you two slept on the floors. :) Thanks Matt for letting me go and sorry that you had to work and be without me, good thing for Xbox's so you didn't get too bored.
