A Happy Snowy 23rd Birthday!

On Monday, I got to come home early from work because it had been snowing all day and we were expecting a blizzard by nightfall. This picture was taken at about three o'clock when we got back to the apartment just before the storm got too bad.



This is what we woke up to Tuesday morning! It was so pretty! This is Denver's truck all burried. We went and did some last minute shopping then came back and dug out the truck.




The view outside our apartment.


The luxury snow cave. Denver was getting it warm for me and after I got in, he dug us out. It looks like there was only about six inches on top of it. Denver said he brushed the snow off four times Monday. It snowed a ton! I think they said we got between 24'' and 28''.



This is the YL Lady which has plowed me through many snow storms while being up in Flagstaff. Denver says it can take you in some places that a 4-wheel drive truck couldn't take you, haha...some places. The Cadi has been a great car!

For my birthday, Denver and I got up and did a little bit of shopping then we came home and Denver studied for his CDL and I got to spend some time trying something I've never tried before. I have a great friend who is an amazing cake decorator and she told me that fondant icing was a piece of cake! So I got a recipe online and looked at cute pictures of fondant cakes and started making my birthday cake. I had so much fun and it was so easy!

Denver got me some awesome stuff! I got some really cute jeans and an adorable wallet! Thank you Sweetheart!

After we opened presents Denver took me to Outback Steakhouse and then we went and watched a movie. I had such a fun time getting to spend two whole days with Denver this week! I got lucky I got a snow day and the day off for my birthday! Thank you Denver for the perfect Birthday! I love you!

Thanksgiving

Denver and I had quite the Thanksgiving this year. We had a ton of fun and Denver even had a ton of pain. This is our Thanksgiving dinner which was absolutely delicious!






Here is Matt sleeping soundly after dinner. Thanksgiving naps are always the best.

Nana and Papa even got to come!

Pop and Porter playing under the tables after we ate.

Denver and I went with Mitch and Hayley to experience Black Friday. Denver and I didn't buy anything but we helped Mitch and Hayley. We haven't ever been before and we wanted to experience it. Let me tell you, I have never seen so many people at Walmart. We saw people parking across the street at Home Depot and walking to Walmart. There was not a park in the parking lot. We had to park on the side of the parking lot on the dirt. It was quite the experience and I don't think I will go again unless I need a new TV or something. But it was fun!

Denver got to go roping the Saturday after Thanksgiving with Preston and Justin and they had a ton of fun. We were just finishing up when Denver was opening the shoot for Preston and Layton when his finger got caught in a washer and got jammed into a pipe. I didn't post any pictures because they were pretty gruesome. We went back to my parent's house to see if we could work on it without having to go the ER. We thought it was just smashed really good. We decided to get a second opinion from a neighbor who is a doctor and he said it needed to go to the ER. Sure enough Denver needed Ten stitches and we found out the tip of his finger was crushed. Maybe when his finger heals a little bit I'll post a picture.

All of the cousins watching the show.

Here is a picture of Denver after he got his numbing shots which, by his expressions, looked like it didn't feel too well. Look at his hand grabbing onto the gurney for dear life and his half smile.

Here is a picture of Denver smiling for REAL. (His numbing medication finally kicked in) We all eventually had a great time at the ER. All of the nursing students all wanted to come see the carnage, because I guess Denver's finger was real "Emergency Room worthy."

Halloween

I know Halloween was a really long time ago but I got really behind in my postings. This Halloween Denver and I went to Eagar to help with the barn, spend time with family, and go to Blake and Martha's amazing Halloween party.

Denver and Blake working on the barn.

I got to hold the star of the party.

Here is the awesome hostess of the party! Thank you Martha!

I thought these pumpkins were so cute! Brooklyn and Nanette threw them together in record time!
