Christmas Came Early!

Well, this year Christmas came early in the Mair Household! My mama (the best ever) ordered us a vaccum for Christmas and it came today! It is the best Santa gift this year! We always get really great Santa gifts and this comes in #1 because I have lived the last 3 years without a vaccum! And in the winter it is literally the worse time to NOT have a vaccum! So I have always borrowed my neighbors since we needed to vaccum! As you can tell I opened it right away and got to work vaccuming my house. It works like a charm and I am so happy. The handle shortens to lock the cord into and hold it in place! I told Jason if we had a midget friend this would be the perfect vaccum just for that feature. It doesn't have attachments but who cares! Thanks again Mama! You are the best and so is this little dirt devil! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving! It is my 2nd holiday...behind Christmas! This year we got to have 2 Thanksgivings and celebrate with our families. We went to my sister Loretta's Wednesday night and played games with the family. It is so nice to have family I can spend the holidays with! We spent the night and woke up Thursday to cooking like mad women! Her boys went and played in the Turkey Bowl (the wards get together and play football on Thanksgiving). Then we ate an early dinner because Loretta had to work that afternoon. We quickly ran over to Jason's Aunts house in American Fork to visit with his extended family who had come into town for the holiday. After a few hours, we went back to his parents house and had a wonderful weekend. Kena went shopping on Black Friday with her sisters. I thought she was crazy! Then on Saturday Kena, Sami & I went shopping for a few things. Jason and I got our Christmas shopping mostly done except for his Grandparents and each other! What a relief! Then on Sunday we went to church and then that night had our 2nd Thanksgiving dinner! They were both so wonderful and it was great to visit with everyone! We are in charge of Christmas dinner at his parents house! I love cooking and am thankful for the opportunity to show my skills!

Cool Photos!

I was driving in to Midway/Heber and this is what I saw over the valley! It was the neatest fog over a city I have ever seen! Jason drove in before me and hoped that I had my camera so I could capture this rare moment! It was really cool and this photo turned out really good!!

Photos from Florida!

I am a really lazy blogger right now! I am NOW posting pictures from my trip to Florida! I didn't do alot to take photos but the ones I did take...I love!!!

Florida - Day 3, 4, & 5

I am back again blogging about my Days 3, 4, & 5. Day 3 was Friday. Mom and I went out to Wal-Mart and went shopping for the house. We bought lots of great things. I bought some great things for Jason's classroom for Halloween! They are the cutest goodie bags I have ever seen and they are filled with great things for them! We also went to the Harley Davidson store out here to pick up a shirt for Jason and they were having such a great sale that I bought a shirt for me! (The deal was $19.98 when you buy 2 or more...) They are great shirts and I think he will love it! We also went to Publix, Kohl's, the Library, the Dollar Store, the gas station, Walgreens, Avenue, and the bank! It was alot of fun just hanging out with my Mama again! Then we came home and had beef and noddles...my favorite...for dinner! Oh yummmy!

Day 4 - Saturday is FOOTBALL!!!! And Ohio State came to play and womped Wisconsin 31-13...sorry Angela! We made cookies (Pumpkin Raisin & Oatmeal Scotches) and got ready for the adult session of Stake Conference. It was so fun and I loved seeing all of our friends.

Day 5 - Sunday was Stake Conference. I was able to see even more people then the night before and visit with some friends we have NOT seen in a long time! Those friends were President and Sister King. What fun it was to sit with them at Conference and visit with them after not seeing them for years. They moved back to FL after the church put out the call for couples needed to work in the Orlando Temple. I was so happy to see them and sit with them. We came home and Angela met us here to help clean up for the Open House. We had so much fun visiting with friends and having dinner and eating treats. I took photos of everyone that was able to come and I will post those later!

Tomorrow is a filled day again! I will take photos and post them on Tuesday! Hopefully tomorrow night I will be able to post before I leave. I can not believe my week is over and it is time to go home! I feel like I just got to FL and it is not time to leave! I know that it will be emotional for my dad but my Mama & I have planned that each Fall either I or both Jason and I will be out here to visit! See everyone next year!!!

Florida - Day 2

Today was day 2 in Florida but officially a full day 1. I flew in Wednesday afternoon 30 mins early and forgot how HUMID Florida really is and will always be! We surprised my dad big time...we tried really hard to keep it a secret and we succeded! We picked up a pizza and mom walked in first followed by me with my stuff! He was so surprised and so excited that if he could run he would have! Then Angela came over and we talked for an hour! I was so tired at 11:45pm but couldn't sleep because it was 9:45pm in Utah! Now I am paying for it today!

This morning (Thursday), I got up when my mom left for work and got ready for the day! Mind you it was 6:00am in Utah! I picked up Angela and we headed over to Chick-fil-A to visit with everyone I use to work with and grab a bite to eat! Then we headed over to Waterford and looked around the shops. Everything is still the same there! Then we ventured over to the Harley Davidson store! Anyone who knows me knows I would NOT miss an opportunity to come out to Florida and NOT make it to the Harley Davidson store I watched them build! Angela and I tooked photos on the motorcycles and I am taking mom on Friday! Then I took Angela home and went to pick up my mom from work! I met everyone at her office that has been dying to meet me for the last 3 years! Well, here I am! Then mom, Karen and I went and had a nice lunch at Subway and a really nice visit! We came home to watch the Devil Wears Prada! Such a cute movie! Mom showed me how to make one of my favorite dinners...Skillet Spaghetti...YUM!

Tomorrow through Monday we have extremely busy days! We are shopping, football, church/open house, and dr. appts! I miss Jason terribly but know that with each sun that sets here brings Tuesday that much closer! I can't wait to upload all the photos I will take! Each day I will update with what we did and how much I miss Jason! =)

Peaches!

It is that time of year again! F-A-L-L!!!! I love this time of year, especially in Utah. The leaves are changing, there is a GOOD nip in the air and it's time to can, for reals!!!! Or should I say finally! This year we are canning peaches, MAYBE peach pie filling, and apple pie filling. I went to the Farmer's Market the other night with a friend and as we were looking at the 12 booths they had set up we started asking how much their boxes of peaches were. I need alot of peaches because Jason and I both love them and last year I got NONE! So we stopped by one booth and she said she sold her's for $15 a box and filled them FULL! I told her to go for it and fill to her hearts content because I need all the peaches I could get. I bought 2 boxes and brought them home! I was so anxious to really see how many peaches I got so I put them on our scale! And the answer is...one box was 28.6 pounds the other box 32.4!!! Ahh...so many peaches! I totally got a bargain and could not be happier at this point!

School, is going great for us! We are super busy with school, Jason's lodge and the house! We are trying to keep it clean and sort of failing! Don't ask how because we don't even have kids yet!!! But we are keeping busy and loving it! I have chosen to work/volunteer in Jason's room for my community service hours and help out on Fridays! I love it there! The kids are so dang cute and his kids are so easy to work with! I wish I could have more time there! But that is us for now! Stay tuned for more photos this weekend after...cannning!!!
