January Hymns

I just want to share music all the time. This blog has some really nice pics and she posted a really nice mix that you can download here. My favorites from the cd - Mr. Little Jeans - Rescue Song (myspace this girl, she is sooo good!) and Harlen Pepper - Great Lakes (myspace them also). This Great Lakes song makes me so excited visit Dave's parents in Michigan this summer. I've never thought I would want to go to that area but I'm really getting excited. Especially when I read about the Erie Canal.

Happy New Year! Joslin gets home soon I think? Next month?!? For a second I thought Beth got home this month but she doesn't.

merry christmas

It's time for bed 2+ hours ago but who doesn't love late night present wrapping? So while Dave wraps, I watch videos. Prince of Egypt is my favorite and so is this song and no one ever told me that he performed this at christmas a few years ago! I love you girls, so so very much. Merry Christmas!

i'm crying

and i stole this photo from alpha.

provo!!

Free Christmas Music

Well since we all love Christmas music and especially those Gap commercials here are some more christmas music treats (try searching christmas mashups and christmas remix on 8tracks)





Plus, even more exciting, free christmas CD from Target!! Get it girls

Yay Des

 

I was very very excited to get this treat in the mail. I swear their invitation paper had rhinestones embedded in it. It was sparkly and magical and so classy. 

Can't wait to get your invite Brynne!! I still want to come

remember this?

d and i loved watching these videos during christmas. let's go back.

christmas love to my girfs!

still miss it.

i'm sure many more posts of yh christmas will occur.

Treevor in the Bronx

We have our own Treevor. Or I guess I can just say tree, i just immediately thought treevor when i started writing this post. Wish we could have a holiday party and hang stockings and do lots of fun holiday things together. Maybe another year? Hope everyone is having a nice holiday season! Share all the things you see and do with me. And Dantzel, give us a picture of your new room. I want to see it all Dantzelfied.

My nephew is benjamin button

Here's the thing. My new nephew Merrick is just about the cutest thing to happen to this world since Emerson and Finlay. Plus in an adorable way he looks like a grandpa/yoda which makes me love him even more. Maybe you can tell from the picture above. I keep thinking about that weird benjamin button movie that Brad Pitt was in. Anyway, my fam got to go out a couple weeks ago to help Ricky and Tisha move into their new house and see Merrick get blessed. I got to go a day ahead of everyone which meant more snuggle time for me=happy happy dantzel. Here are some more pics of the little tyke.

He love love loves his dad. For sure a daddy's boy.

And these ones are really just because I can never ever ever get enough of Emerson and Finlay. They are so dang fun.

Emerson and Me before church.
Try ever getting sick of looking at that smile.
Pretty much being an aunt is the best thing ever.

speaking of...

how have we never talked about this?

rudd on the mormon bachelorette!!! 

so, i've been realizing that my last holidays spent in the united states were in 2007. that sounds so long ago and makes me feel weird inside. but anyway i've been obsessed with it and i've been looking through all my photos of that time and it brought back such great memories! so i thought i would share some of our november moments.

 anticipating kevin's arrival, good thing he got married and invited all of us to it.

New YH friend

Hi. I thought we should invite Sam because she is a nice YH friend! I've always wanted to be her good friend but we've never lived in the same space. Bummer. But Brynne and Dantzel are! And she lived in dot chon's room for awhilE so that's nice. I'm writing this from my phone in class so this is hard. Welcome Sam!

hi.

i was going to make a post on here today but i don't want to take any glory away from b's great post below so i decided to just post it here for now.

but to stay with the theme i will give you a sneak peak:

love you love you.

extra extra sneak peek.

jessica emailed me these photos last night just in case i was getting antsy to see our engagements.

i just think she's the greatest photographer eva.

and wanted to share the extras with my favorite girfs.

bring the blog back to life again!

love to love you all.

new house theme song

Remember how we listened to High School Musical and Moulin Rouge everyday of our lives? Well. I have a new one.



Dantzel. I think of you every time I listen to this song. I just want us to get together in the living room and sing and dance to this song.

And remember how sometimes I did Kathy Smith? Now it's all about Marie from Crunch Cardio Dance Blast. My abs are getting awesome and why is the girl in the back wearing jeans?? I'm still really confused.

still having a rough time focusing.

but really - watch this video and you'll get it! (it won't let me post the code here)

but this one will!

Build Anything from Studiocanoe on Vimeo.

okay i'm working again. love to love you all.

you all already know this.

not going to post my story twice and preeetty sure you read it already.

but just in case you didn't, don't worry. you can still go to my blog and read about mine and tan's ENGAGEMENT! 

so nuts.

but just wanted to show you how much more fun driving is now. 

just get to look at a pretty ring and feel nice remembering that i have it because i'm going to marry tan!

really. life = so great.

things don't change

 Remember how I hugged Megan and it didn't even click that I hadn't seen her for 2.5 years. I love how things are just the same even when we haven't seen each other in years! Oh I love it so much. Sorry I forgot but it was so nice to see everyone! Even though Brynne went babysitting the night we left and Dantzel forgot and stayed in Provo and instead I surprised her little sisters and got a nice Laurie Marsh visit. Let's be friends again soon!

 

I don't even remember this next one happening. Was i there?

 

deseret book.

look who we sat in front of at conference.

sheri dew!

we had a hard time not eavesdropping before the meeting started.

and don't mind our faces. 

we were obviously just doing out best to take a picture of sheri without her knowing

and unfortunately tanner forgot to even fake smile. 

you can't win them all.

buuuut you can when you're baby tanner with fuzzy white hair!!!

lady's free!

ryan and i decided to walk around center street a few days ago 

(because it is just so nice)

when i saw this i felt excited and yelled "grace would have loved this!"

and then i felt sad you had already left our life again.

but it was great seeing you girls! love love love you three so much.

(love the others too but heck they aren't reading this so i didn't feel it was necessary to include them)

told you i would.

glimpses of what life will look like starting oct 1.

ps it's my friday off!!! can't wait.
