Season to be Jolly...and also very Swollen

So its been forever since I have blogged but I have a pretty legitimate excuse this time.......I GOT MY WISDOM TEETH OUT :) My mom didn't believe the past several months when I have been complaining about getting pressure headaches and my jaw being sore, but little did she know I was right all along...like always muahaha!

This is a picture of all the medication that they gave me to start on so that I would have it in my system and the recovery would be a lot easier.

Let me tell ya, I felt pretty darn fantastic...I woke up the next morning bright and early looking like this (rocking the no-makeup look) and was sitting in the chair waiting for them to hook me up. Oh and yes, I did get new glasses, the ones that make people look smarter :) and yes they are perscription and not the ones you get from 3D movies :P

 There were a few complications during the surgery, my blood pressure and heart rate went way up and I started to come out of the anesthesia, which made me hysterical for no reason. They promised my mom that I wouldn't remember anything, ha ha well I guess I'm just special because I can tell you all the details and even what the doctors where saying to each other during the procedure, but no matter how hard I try I cant remember how I got home and into bed...weird stuff right there.

I woke up much later after sleeping most of the day and I actually felt pretty fantastic, a few of my friends came over and we went to the ward Christmas party and then came home and watching the Lovely Bones and even played a little of Dance Dance 2 on the Wii. My mom was going to kill me because she kept telling me to take it easy but I really didn't feel all that bad.

The next day I slept a lot in the car on our drive to Boise to drop Amie and Isaac (my little brother and sister) off so they could spend the Holiday with their father.

Its pretty exciting, I get to spend the whole Holiday Break with my mom and just relax. For example, I came to work with her today and have gotten a lot done, and even though we haven't talked much because she is working its just been being around her and the people at her work :)

Something that always helps the time go by a little faster is hanging out with my friends.

My Best friend Carol all the way to the right and my other bestie Megan (Carol's sister) who is up for the Holidays for SUU. We had a movie night and watched A Walk to Remember. May I just say, what a fantastic movie!!

Here are just a few pictures I have taken since I have been on all that medications

 Me and Scruffy in the morning, right after I wake up :)

Latley I have just been a happy camper :)

Santa Run Baby

Our Family along with my friend Kenadee did a 5K Santa Claus Run

You can see Isaac in his beard in the right bottom corner. There were tons of Santa's running and it was a blast!  Although today I walked out side to get my mail because I heard the mail man, and when I went out he said, "you looked good as a Santa".....not sure what to say that....so I said thank you and ran back inside

This is me and Kenadee :)

Us again :)

and Amie in the beard that the rest of us refused to wear because when I put it on I got a mouth full of hair! YUCK!

Isaac kicked all our buts and got a really good time! Overall it was a lot of fun, something every family should do at least once. 

My sister found this kid on YouTube and he is actualy really good. His dream to sing with Justin Bieber, and boy is he good enough :)

December Is Here!!!

Yesterday while I was babysitting (which I do 2 or 4 times a week) the kids wanted to do Christmas crafts....and what is more fun than cutting our paper snowflakes! 

Evelyn on the left and Esther on the right :) (Eli there brother was sleeping)

We got pretty fancy with them, all three of these are mine...and I really don't mean to brag but I think they turned out pretty fantastic.

So I am an animal person but I'm not crazy about them, and freak out, but I saw this video and it really touched my heart :) These Beagles had been in a Experimental Laboratory their entire lives and had known nothing but the inside of their metal crates. These people found out and went and rescued them and they let them run around in the grass and then shared their adoption stories. It is so cute!
