Can you believe its December?!

Holy cow! The month of November just flew right on by! Tomorrow is December 1st....and I promise to be better at updating my blog more often! Maybe that will be my goal for the month of December. So lets see the month of December and Christmas time has to be one of my favorite times of the year! Come on....all the christmas music. How can you not love this time of year!

Im one of those weirdos that listens to christmas music from about halloween till christmas so I guess I am a little bit biased. But I have to say that I love when 25 days of christmas starts on ABC Family! That really makes the whole month. There is nothing like the classic christmas claymation movies we all watched when we were little. If you have never tuned in you definitely should. I promise it will help make the season brighter. 

Here watch this!

How can you not love the burgermiester! Tune in everyone!

As you all know for the past few months I have been working at Bath and Body Works! I am so blessed to be able to enjoy the job I have and I have loved everyone I have worked with so far! This job will also definitely make the holiday season so great. I hope they are able to keep me longer than just for the holiday season. Cross your fingers for me okay! 

This past week I was able to have an adventure at the cache valley fun park! I totally rocked at the games and it was all with the help of one of my good friends Whitney. I thought I would post some pictures of how great I am and not to mention fun! 

But first I have to explain how great I am at the jump roping game and if you dont believe me at all you can talk to Whitney and also Heath and Adriene Breinholt....They can attest to the truth of this statement! But of course you know what happens when the camera comes out to film your greatness! 

This happens:  First your friend hits the wrong button and misses it and then you feel so cool!

And then you redeem yourself! 

Told you I was a pro! 

Me and Whitney played a whole bunch of different games and just about died laughing....we got stuck on this one cabellas game for about a half hour because it told us to put in more coins for a better deal....little did we know we were in for the long haul. We also dominated at a tank game and totatlly kicked the computers butt! And after a few hours of playing games we got tons of tickets! 

Look at my purse if you dont believe me!

We had over 500 tickets! Awesome winnings! So of course you feel like a kid at the candy store when you get to pick prizes. So we got a mystery bag and had so much fun playing with all the goodies we got! Of course no night is really complete without a visit to Chic-fil-a! We sure did damage there and this is why we are friends....we finished our own shakes and medium fries and that was just not enough so we shared a large fry. So three french fry boxes later and we just couldnt stop laughing that we finished them all along with the shakes! 

Here is a picture of the damage!

We finished the night by watching some kid history on youtube! Guys I dont think I have every laughed so hard in my life! So to give you a taste and because its my favorite one....I actually have a few but still here is one to get you started! 

Well anyway so that's how the beginning of December and end of November have been for me! I so can't wait to update more and more! Ill try and make this month a fun one! Im home for christmas this year! Enjoy every minute! 

November is almost out of sight!

Okay okay...so I have pretty much stunk at updating! But before November flew out of sight I thought I should write about a few things I am thankful for! I'll try and think of at least 10 things!

So here goes!

Well it is your lucky day and also for all those who don't have instagram because you get in on the fun! There is a photo challenge going on for the month of November!

So I finished Day 1 yesterday! November 1st was something beginning with a "C":

"C" is for my cool bandaid that I received after shots at the doctors.

I have another cool bandaid to match on the other arm!

November 2nd is a color! Little did I know that me and my newphew Cavin would match! Guess that makes this my color!

Thrift Store Finds!

So...here is outfit number 2! I loved finding these clothes and putting them together. Another man's trash is another man's treasure.

Sweater: Down East Basics

Shirt: Thrifted $2

Skirt: Thrifted $3

Tights: Walmart 

Shoes: Thrifted $2

Pearls: Mom's

All in all this outfit only costed me about 10 dollars! Not too shabby! 

Viva Las Vegas!

This past week I was able to have a little vacation with my family and some family friends! Of course you know what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! So that means that this post should be pretty short right? But thats not the case here because I was with my family and family friends. Nothing crazy here! 

We left on Thursday, October 18. So my mom and my dad and I piled in our Ford Escape and hit the road! We drove 8 full hours and arrived in Vegas around 8 or so that night! All in all it wasn't a bad drive and I was able to catch up on some movie watching. That night we checked in to our hotel called the Silverton and after that we hit up the casino....crazy how many people spend all day there! I gambled for the first time in my life....of course I lost a few dollars and then we called it a night! 

Here is my first gambling experience: 

We won big!

The next morning we were able to meet up with the Liufaus! I have known them since I was 8. They have 6 boys and I have three brothers....if you do the math that means I grew up with 9 brothers. Crazy! We haven't seen eachother in 5 years....seriously way too long! We walked around the strip in Vegas and just had so much fun. We visited the M&M store and enjoyed walking around the different sights and stores. 

Here is the highlights of the all the fun:

I was finally able to meet Ka'iLi Liufau! She is the sweetest and I am happy to call her my sister. Of course they keep adding in the girls to the Brufau family! 

This should be my new job! Model for Nascar! 

My brother AJ. So tall and so cool. He leaves on his mission in like two weeks! We visited the Hard Rock Cafe. 

That night we met up with the Harts. The Liufau clan went and helped with the wedding preparations. We went shopping and just walked around Ceasars palace and watched the water show at the Bellagio. 

All of the crazy people also seem to come out at night so it was a blast just watching all the hustle and bustle. I guess what they say is true...Vegas is the busiest at night.

Sadly we didn't visit the buffet at the Billagio...but did I mention they have prime rib and lobster:) 

 My mother and I and Annie Hart

 That's right the tree is flirting with me!

 I just couldn't control myself!

Me and my cute mom!

My dad and his scooter Jazzy Jeff!

Look out Vegas!

The next morning was the day of Daniel and Salym's wedding so we headed to the Vegas temple and had a wonderful time! It was so fun to be a part of another one of my brothers weddings. Congrats Dan and Salym! Thanks for all of the fun memories! The reception and things that night were awesome! The dancing and getting down were once in a lifetime. I had no idea that Tighe and AJ Liufau had rhythm. I almost caught the bouque but of course some girls that were taller than I am had the advantage. 

 My brother Daniel and I 

 One of my mom's favorite memories of us when we were little. 

The three of us used to watch tv just like this!

 My second Dad and I

 The Wisconsin Gang!

My second mom, David, Me, and AJ

After the reception has to be one of the funniest nights of the whole trip. We got mooned in the hallway of the silverton as were coming back to our room. I know I know you are all dying to read about this most awesome of events. 

As we came down the hallway we ran into a group of about 5 people and they were all shhing us. And in the front row of us walking is me and my mom and annie hart and then all of a sudden we see this guy way ahead of us wearing a straw hat and a hawaiian shirt and he is pulling down his pants. My mom points and says what? and then annie says SIR SIR I AM ABOUT TO SEE YOUR BUTT! I am  just staring in amazement as this is all going down. I mean we saw the whole moon! We were all laughing so hard and i mean harder than his friends were! That just about capped the whole night. 

The next day we headed out to a really nice hotel called the JW Marriot. My Dad had some meeting so me and my mother and annie left her kids at home and sent her husband home to stay with us for a few extra days. This hotel was defintely the suite we were waiting for. The room was huge and the whole hotel was awesome! So relaxing. We spent the next few days just relaxing and shopping and just hanging out! They had the biggest pool and since the weather was so nice I got to swim. My mom and Annie didnt want to swim so I was a lone swimmer but not to mention the coolest one! 

All alone in this giant pool: 

That's me! 

After three days of relaxing it was time to come back to real life! So we headed out and back in to the snowy weather. Snow in October....that's Utah. 

So all in all my first trip to Vegas was a success! Thanks for all of the fun memories! 

Nobody says it better than the king!

Thrift store finds!

So one of the reasons I made this blog was to show off the many wonderful finds I make at thrift stores and other places. Lately I have been into dressing more vintage and more classic styles. The best place to find these awesome clothes are at secondhand stores and thrift stores! So I have been searching long and hard and I would like to share some of them with all of you! So here is how it will go down. I will post pictures of the outfits I have found and then I will tell you where I found them and how you can find something similar! That sounds great to me!

So here is outfit number 1:

Leggings:Walmart

Shirt: Down East Basics

Tank:Thrifted

Shoes: Payless

Sweater: Vintage

This outfit was inexpensive and so so cute! All of the pieces were bought either on sale or for very cheap. Look for the deals everywhere!

Birthday fun!

I know I know.....this post is like two weeks after my actual birthday but I have been pretty busy and also I caught a cold so I have been recovering. My birthday was a wonderful day! Of course I had to work so I got up for that at 5 am and then worked until 2 that afternoon. They gave me a button to wear at work that said its my birthday and all of the residents and staff sang to me at lunch time. That was a nice surprise. But the best surprise of all was my mother and friend Roxanne Gibbons decorated my car.....it was a wonderful surprise walking out and seeing it all decked out with birthday things! 

Here are some pictures of the damage they did:

How fun! After work I went out to ice cream with a good friend Kierra Gibbons. We hit up cold stone and I had cake batter ice cream with peanut butter cups. So yummy! After ice cream I headed home and had dinner with the family. We had home made chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes and then instead of a birthday cake I had banana pudding! So good! 

All in all it was a wonderful birthday! I got some awesome presents and my dad brought me some pink wear so that was awesome! I love pink wear:)

Well what can I say better late than never!
