Get Air!!

Over the mountains, through the plains, over the CANYON to Twin Falls we go..

Our really Good friends were finally able to get together with us recently. They usually head down our way so we headed up their way instead.  We had never been up there before so it was an adventure that my wanderlust needed to fulfill.   We headed up there on a Friday afternoon and it took about 3 hours to finally arrive in T.F.  Especially since we missed the first turn off and had to backtrack a bit. :)

We all had an incredible amount of fun!!

 All of their girls with all of our girls equated to late bedtimes, early mornings, girly screams, oodles of make up, and lots of dress up.

 The four older girls all got to sleep in a tent in the basement which was pure delight for them and hopeless attempts to get them to shut up from us.

                                        We all needed a good rest by the time we got home.

 They got some tunes started and little purple jammies went to town!! She was the life of the show. She wiggled, jiggled, and turned upside down. We were all thouroughly enjoying our free "show."

A piece rendering how much fun they were having. 

 Here is "downtown" T.F.  It was a cute little street.  I found some treasures at one of the two or three thrift shops just on this little ally.  I guess thrifting is big in T.F???

We got to go out one night with just the adults. They took us to visit the large gorge there in town.  It was so remarkable and beautiful! You have to pass over the CANYON (see comments) to get into town but we didn't know it was even there because it was dark when we arrived.   I wanted to snap photo's but it was too dark by then.

We hit up their happening mall and got some yummy ice cream to boot!  Also, Jason and I got our first taste of johnny Carinos restaurant that evening.  It was delish!!  Soo, soo much fun!  We are much abliged to our dear friends!  Can't wait till we can get together again!

But Mom!!! I can wear them as Baptism shoes!!

I also posted this on facebook but, it was too cute.  I had to double up. :)

Fun with photo's..

Before......

After!  Bam!!

It's like I have braces all over again. :)  This was taken right after I got my eyebrows "done" by the funnest lady from Australia.  She's done Beyonce's, Curtis Stone's, Nicole Kidman's, and other celebrities eyebrows and made it so much fun!!!  Yay for finally entering the world of Fabulous! as she stated. ;)

December 2011

 Finally getting around to some pictures from last month.  This was for my mom's birthday celebration at her home.  It was such a fun evening! She even said she thought it was one of her favorite birthdays!! 

 Ellyse lost one front tooth on a Friday night and then the following Monday, lost the other one too!  Just in time for Christmas!  Yep, we sang the song! Over and over. :)

 Here's Allie just needing some camera love.

 About 1/2 way through December, we get to go eat breakfast with Santa Claus and receive presents from him.  Allie and Ellyse both got Pucci Pups and Horses and Allie kept saying. "I'm so happy!" :)

 What beauties!  If I do say so myself! :)

 This was the first year Jason was able to come with us to the breakfast.  It was nice to have him there.

 Now, onto the Cowles family Christmas party.  Every year we go bowling and then go to a church and play some white elephant games in hopes that a certain somebody will show up.  The below picture is a portrayal of what I like to call...Juxtaposition. 

 Ellyse didn't seem to like her white elephant.....but below, you can see she got her smiles back when Mr. C came along.

 Christmas Eve was already displayed in an earlier post but this one wasn't with the other photos. After partying hard all day, we go to Wood's home and open those gifts.  I swear Christmas is pretty much a let down compared with Christmas Eve.

 Grandma D, Grandpa B, and Sammy.

 This was cute, they did hug without me telling them to but of course, I wasn't manning the camera at the time so I made them do it again.  :)

 Allie's Loot.

Ellyse's Loot.

And there we go, only a few weeks behind. :)

Christmas Eve and morning in photos

( i have more photos but don't seem to have them on this computer, will update when i find them)

It was fantastic!

Hope yours was too!

Advice from Ellyse...

"Never eat jail food...It's greasy"  said while we were on 24th street in West Ogden.  I'm not sure where it came from in her head, but I thought the location of our whereabouts added to the strangness of her comment.  She quickly followed that dousy with "Yeh, so if you ever want to grab us some lunch from a take out place, just don't make it jail food." ......Noted!

Oh, and if you are up early enough to check out a most beautiful pink morning sky and happen to point it out to Ellyse, she'll let you know that "Mars may be exploded."....So wise, this one!
