Newton Family Christmas Party

Every year for our family Christmas party my parents take us to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, then to the Gallivan plaza for ice skating and last Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. This year we went on December 6th and we had a blast. It was FREEZING but we still had a good time. Thanks mom and dad!! We love you!

Elf Yourself

My friend Jolee introduced me to this website called Elf Yourself. I thought it was hillarious and thought that I would make one. Michael and I sent it to Clint for Christmas. I hope you all have as much fun watching it as we had making it.

Addie poo, Sadster woo and Asher boy

I babysit my sister Desi's three kids two times a week while she is at school and I admit that it is not an easy job, but I absolutely love it! They are such sweet kids and they love to hug and kiss me :) I told my three year old niece Sadie that we were best friends, so now whenever she talks to me she calls me "best friend" instead of Aunt Nanny. Here are some pictures that my friend Erin took of them a couple weeks ago. Seriously I have the cutest nieces and nephews ever! I love you guys and thank you for being so good for your Aunt Nanny :)

Addie Poo

My little best friend....that smile is so Sadie :)

Emett Mathias Rock

He's here!!! Our very good friends Levi and Lethie had a beautiful baby boy on October 30 at 11:13 pm. He weighed in at an even 8 lbs and was 19.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing fine and getting plenty of rest. We are so happy for you guys and can't wait to see the little guy! Love you :)

The Newton clan

This year Halloween was a lot of fun. Mike and I decided to dress up as Rockstars and carry around the equipment for the Rockband game. We really got into and it was all Mike's idea for him to wear spandex pants!!! LOL We stopped by Desi's house to see the family then we had our good Friends Ryan and Jolee over for a little Halloween party. Thanks for coming guys!!

Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday my parents took all of us to the Pumpkin patch in Santaquin. We got to ride in a wagon out to the pumpkin patch. We all picked out the pumpkin of our choice and had a really fun time doing it. There were so many good ones it was hard to choose....I am pretty sure that is why most of us got more than one ;)

Family Pictures

Yesterday my good friend Erin took some pictures of my family. It has been years since we had a family picture. She had time to edit a few so I thought I would post them to show you how cute my family is. I will post more as soon as I get the CD. Thanks Erin!!! We love you!!

Alek eating his cake

Using a spoon.....??

Friday March 13th my nephew Alek turned 1. It is so crazy how time flies!! I can't believe that he is 1 already!! I headed over early to help my sister Amber prepare for the party. Amber babysits my other nephew Ryker during the week so I knew she would have her hands full with both the boys. I watched Ryker as Amber got everything put together for the BEST party ever :) Alek loved the balloons he got and liked the wrapping paper on his gifts a little more than the gifts ;) Amber even made a little cake just for him so he could dig right in...but since this is Amber's son and anyone who knows my sister knows that she is OCD...he dug right in with a spoon!! He was a pretty clean eater for a 1 year old!!! I love you Alek and hope you had a good year!!

Nick and the Love Sack

This happened a few weeks ago and I totally forgot to blog about it. I was in my room studying for a test and decided to go out and get a drink of water. While walking through the downstairs living room I noticed my brother-in-law Nick was trying to put away this ginormous love sack that was in the living room. Both him and Emily had to take ALL the stuffing out and put it into bags, which they then sucked the air out of with a vacuum. I expected him to be there just emptying it out....but no not Nick......he had to climb inside it and be one with the bag. LOL!

My Big Helper

Every Thursday Amber, Kimberlee and I go grocery shopping together. It's fun for us to get together and see each other during the week. Amber brings my nephew Alek and Kimberlee brings Ryker (since it's her day to watch him) and we all go to target to shop. Today Alek wanted to help push the cart that Ryker was in. We put him down and he held onto the bottom of the cart and helped push it all through Target. He is getting so big and is such a good helper :) Thanks Alek boy!

A night with the girls

The girls with their Uncle Mike

Mike drawing a house with Sadie

Last night Mike and I received a call from my sister Desi saying that she needed to take Asher to the ER. He was having a hard time breathing and they were getting worried. Of course Mike and I rushed over there to watch the girls while Desi and Ryan took their 1 month old baby to the hospital. He ended up only having a bronchial infection, which is a lot better than RSV or pneumonia, and was back home that night :) It was about 9:30pm when we got there so our job wasn't too hard, since all we needed to do was put the girls to bed. Mike drew pictures with Sadie and than let the girls lay on him while we watched Wall E. Mike is such a good uncle :) The girls were very good and went to bed when we told them to. We love them and had so much fun hanging out with them :)

Saturday Workaholic

So as you can see Mike works very hard on Saturdays =)
(yes he is a nerd, and yes that is a hand constructed bow and arrow)

Hair Cut

I finally decided after months of growing my hair out, it was time for a change. Me and my hair dresser Stacy decided to go short. I trust her so I just told her to do whatever she thought would look best. She did a wonderful job and I love it!!! Here are a few pictures of my new style. i hope you all like it :)
