Recap

Finally a post! So im having to do this post in parts because it's too big of a post so it can't do it all at once. Like i said its a big post so good luck getting through it!
Nicholaus James Weaver Graduation

So my little brother Nicholaus James Weaver graduated from Pine View High School I can't believe my little brother is done with highschool. But congratulations bockman!
Happy 26 Birthday Shan

Shandon Turned 26 on September 28 it was a pretty low key birthay just celebrated with our families individually and these are pictures from my parents house. He wanted cheesecake. (How I got so lucky to get a guy that loves cheesecake almost as much as I do and prefers to have that over regular cake giving me another opportunity to have cheesecake i'm not sure but i'll take it!) Happy Birthday Shan I love you!
Thanksgiving

So it was shandon's families year for thanksgiving so we had thanksgiving with them a week earlier so Lacie,Casey,and the kids could be with us! I made my second attempt on the turkey so far im 2/2 although i still get really nervous whenever i try to cook it. I don't know what it is about cooking a turkey...maybe its the pressure because its the main thing I get really nervous about it. Anyways so on the real day of thanksgiving we went up to my parents cabin and had thanksgiving dinner up there. I cooked a sweet potato casserole which I also made for thanksgiving with the Lee's which was pretty good. Shandon and I also went on a Rhino ride (which for those who don't know what a rhino is its a cross between a fourwheeler and a go cart) we drove around looking at the leaves and it was really pretty up there.
JAZZ GAME: JAZZ VS DALLAS

So my dad works for sunroc/ clyde companies and the company has season seats and when the clients they were going to take to the game cancelled my dad offered the tickets to shan and I which got us these amazing tickets to the jazz game! We were in the 3rd row right behind the announcers which means we got to have dinner in the Lexus room at the Energy Solutions Arena before the game. And guess who was like 3 tables away from our table.....Elder Bednar! It was awesome! He sat in the row right behind the announcers and i was trying really hard not to bug him because I'm sure its frustrating not being able to go anywhere without being bombarded. At half time we went back to the lexus room for dessert. Finally I couldn't take it anymore when he was getting up to leave i ran to the door and started looking at a brochure they had up there and as he was getting ready to walk through to go back to the game I said hi and talked to him for a second. It was so much fun! That was the highlight of the game because the jazz ended up losing to the dallas mavericks which was a bummer but being able to go and watch that close was awesome! Thanks sunroc/clyde companies and mom and dad for taking us! It was a blast!

Ginger Bread Houses

For family night at the Lee's before christmas not sure what monday it was but we decorated Gingerbread houses and this is what we finally came up with!

Bruno

So my dog bruno is pretty entertaining! It was really funny because i was talking to shan about how it didn't really feel like christmas because of the lack of snow and what not. Anyway bruno must have understood what I was saying because he decided to help out and give me a "white christmas" it was really funny because he had been working on this all night. I woke up and found him passed out in his mess which was a combination of stuffing from his toy and toilet paper! It was kind of frustrating at the time but i couldn't help but laugh at him!

CHRISTMAS

Christmas was awesome this year as always. We had the annual dinner and nativity reinactment with shandons family then we spent the night over at my parents and opened presents with them christmas morning. But my families tradition is we all have to take pictures on the stairs in our new pajama's that we get the night before christmas and then we migrate into the family room for presents! Shandon made out pretty well on his gifts He got a gun! and he got a really cool hat you can see him testing out in one of the pictures. After opening up gifts with my family we went to his families house and opened presents with them and had everyone open up their gifts from us! After that shan and I went back to our house to have our own christmas. He also got a new cell phone from me except the fact that he opened it when it came in the mail like 3 weeks before christmas! I was pretty frustrated about it so i wrapped up a bunch of rocks in the same size box that his phone came in he opened up three rocks before he finally got to his phone each rock had a little note on saying something like "looks like im not your phone i think the phone got sent back" anyways after all his presents were opened and he thought he didn't get it i gave him his last present. Had to get him back somehow right?! anyways it was a really awesome Christmas!

Here is my cute nephew drake "Mr. Big" playing with his christmas present from Grandpa and Grandma! Christopher and Whitney had their own christmas and then drove down from provo to celebrate with everyone else after. It was awesome to be able to get to spend time with them. Shan and I came back to my parents house for dinner and i made my sweet potato casserole again and we had prime rib for dinner and just hung out! It was fun!

Moving on To New Years

We had new years up at my parents cabin! Which was fun! Christopher, Whitney, and Drake were there too along with nick and kylie It was really fun! We watched Robin hood until we brought in the new year!

WHITE TRASH PARTY

So Chrissy and I were planning a chinese new year party that Lee's thought it would be fun to throw and while getting stuff for that we thought it would be fun to have a "White Trash" Party! It was awesome. We invited people by sending out toilet paper invitations! We got a lot of our inspiration from the party from a movie called "the Sasquatch gang" and the internet. Our outfits came from the DI Shandon wore a nasty leisure suit and i wore a nasty mesh jersey that was too short i wore ripped jean capris and flip flops crimped my hair and made it all big and my make up was nasty as well. Oh and Shandon grew out a nasty neckbeard and a mustache it was so gross! But it went awesome with the party. For food we had hot dogs without buns, corn dogs, dinosaur chicken nuggets, cheeseball cheetos, great value potato chips, oh and for condiments the boys went around to different resturaunts and bought stuff off the dollar menu so they could get a bunch of ketchup, mustard, and fry sauce packets. For drinks we made the sink the ice chest and had a few bottles of rootbeer but thought it would be funny to go cheaper then that and get sqeeze its and for dessert we had hostess cakes and twinkies! We also had games, we had a chugging contest where we chugged soda while wearing a neck brace and we had a horse shoes throwing contest only instead of a horseshoe we had a toilet seat and a golf club. It was a really fun Party!

So that's it on stuff since my last post. I started up with school again decided its about time i finish up. It wasn't long before i realized why it was so easy for me to stop doing school in the first place...but it will all be worth it in the end or at least that's what i keep hearing. So between work and school its keeping me pretty busy! Shan is also working and doing school! And that's pretty much our plans for right now! Well if you have made it to the end of this post good job! I will try not to wait so long to do another post. I have a few baby showers i'm going to be doing for friends coming up so i will be posting on those too when they're done so we can look forward to those if they turn out ok! Also an enrichment activity will be coming up that i'm doing so i will have pictures for those to post shortly. Anyways that's all for now for all of you that pesevered through this post it was a long one!
