{ Party Like A "Rock"star}

For Christmas Travis and I got {RockBand} with a Country music pack and it is so much fun to play. But not only is it fun to play it is very entertaining to watch; It was so much having the game over the {holidays} cause we would have family come over almost every night and we would play for hours. P.S. the very talented girl in the video is my niece Cambree {The next Hannah Montana} oh and her back up singer is My sister Melody.

{Merry Christmas}

Travis and I wanted to wish everyone a {Merry Christmas} and {Happy New Year!} Hope you all have a good one!

{Twas 2 Weeks Before Christmas}

So this year for Christmas Travis decided that he wanted an X-Box 360, it took a while but he finally convinced me to get one for him. Well I strictly told him that when we bought it he had to wait for Christmas... that was the agreement. But as soon I picked it up from the store the pressure was on for me to let him open it and play. I was doing so good at not cracking even though he was having Preston come over daily telling me reasons of why Travis should be able to open it up early. Here are some of the reasons they came up with.

1. Because they want to play together online. {Ok my problem is this, so they've been playing together at Devry and Preston's, don't you think playing together in the same room is better than playing together online and talking to each other on headsets!}

And the 2nd reason was:

2. Because Travis has to go back to school in January and he won't have as much time to play since he will be busy with homework and work. {Yes, ok somewhat logical!}

So the last reason is a little bit of why I did Break, that and the fact that I don't know how many more times I could handle being told that I'm {cold as ice!} I'm not cold as ice I just wanted Travis to have something to be excited about because he is so Bah humbug!

Since I decided to give in I still wanted it to be exciting. So one day while he was at work I set up a treasure hunt. These pictures of each of the places and clues he had to find!

{P.S. yes they were all wrapped in princess paper, it's all because one day I came home from work and he had wrapped all my presents in Transformer paper and thought it was so cool, so I thought what is the exact opposite of Transformer thats right Princesses!}

{Livin on the Edge}

So I was a little late in jumping on the Twilight band wagon. But I finally gave in and started to read them to see what all the fuss was about and I actually ended up loving them. I than passed them on to Camber and she also became a huge fan. So it wasn't too hard to convince her to go to the midnight premiere with me and the ladies from work.

All the ladies at work are also big fans and it was almost daily that we were checking the Z103 website for new trailers and pictures of the movie. One day I came to work and they had created their own Jacob calendar. They said that the kitten that was pictured that month was creepy and ugly so they covered it up with Jacob. I'll just say I couldn't complain since I am a huge Jacob/Werewolf Fan!

Camber decided if we were going to {live on the edge} and go the {midnight premiere}we were going to go all out and that we did. We took our picture with Brad and Tara from Z103 and I couldn't believe how believeable of an Edward he was...This is us waiting the two hours in the theater for the movie to start. I was proud of Camber it was 10 P.M. and she was still going strong. It's been awhile since she has lived the late night life. I guess having kids can that to ya!
Inside our theater we had make-up artists doing claw marks for {Jacob} Fans and Glitter for {Edward} fans but since our shirts said that we couldn't choose we got both. It took us awhile to go and get it done because there was only little kids in the line and we felt dumb but we decided if we were going to go all out we had to do it.

Getting ready to stand in line! You could tell that we were {first timers} because we were not very well prepared. People around us in line were all in snowoutfits and bundle up in blankets and we had jackets! Luckily we didn't have to stand out in line for too long..

{MY Best Friends Baby Shower}

Lions, Tigers and Bears OH BOY! We thought we were being prepared by throwing the party in October two months before Devry's due date but little did we know that little Deakon was going to come early. He was born about a week and a half before the baby shower but Devry being a trooper and was still willing to have the party as planned. We went with a safari theme and it turned out so cute! {Here are a few moments from the shower...}

{The quilt that my family made}{Me & Devry-doesn't she look good for just having a baby! Hopefully I'm that lucky}

{Deakon's cute new stuffed animal} {For refreshments we had fruit and dip, and muffins and we named all the muffins with the safari in mind, like Choc. Chunky Monkey and Cheetah Crumb.}

{Made coconut lemonade my favorite!}

{Better Late Than Never}

So two more weeks and Travis and I have been married for TWO years. I cannot believe it's been that long... Before we got married I had my bridals done and Both my mom and I hated them. So almost two years later at work one of the ladies asked if she could take some pictures of me in my wedding dress to put on her website. So I was excited to see if I still fit in my wedding dress and take some pictures and I thought since its almost my anniversary I'd share some.

Spud Day... 5K

Yesterday was the famous Shelley Spud Day and for the last couple of years my dad has been running the 5K. This year was the first time any one dared run against my dad and it just so happened to be Travis. So my mom and I woke up bright and early to go and cheer them on.

At the first of the race Travis told my dad he was just going to stick by him and than my dad said the next thing he knew he saw Travis taking off. I think Trav's competitive side kicked in and he didn't want the 62 year old man in front of them to beat him.

Kellie and the kids also showed up to cheer them on and we sat on the corner and ate our donuts as all the runners ran past us to the finish line. Maybe next year I'll run instead eating donuts on the sidelines!
