Happy Birthday to US!!!

Little blog update, Jeff and I celebrated both our birthdays a few weeks ago. Mine was during Thanksgiving so it was fun to be with all my family and Jeff's is a week after mine so we celebrated his too while we were up north. We had so much fun over thanksgiving and we are so excited and ready for our first christmas together. It has been so fun shopping together for our families and for secret santa and each other.

For Jeff's birthday I got NFR tickets so we went to Vegas overnight. I was able to surprise Jeff with a spiffy room at the Bellagio. It was so amazing, definately a once in a life time opportunity to stay there, but it was so worth it. We also had fun shopping and going to Cowboy Christmas!!!

We have also added a temporary family member to our little family of four... our little niece is getting a kitty for christmas and we have been lucky enough to have it at our house the last 2 weeks. I was nervous the dogs would tear it up but they have all played so well. I'm not a cat person AT ALL but I would love to keep this little one around. She is so easy going and believe it or not, as small as it is, she sure can handle her own against the puppies. We sure do love our dogs too, they have been so much fun. I will never buy just one dog, it has been so easy for us to have two dogs.

Well stay tuned for christmas updates. Merry Christmas everyone!!!







I don't now about the other nights of the NFR but we went on Pearl Harbor day and the spirit of American pride was so strong. Lee Greenwood sang God bless the USA. Lets just say I have never been so spiritually uplifted after that song than I was that night he sang... it was soooo AMAZING!!!



This first pic, I promise Chewy is not eating the cat... they were playing so cute and I was trying to capture the moment but it didn't come out so well. KO has this thing were he loves to lay on anything soft whether it be our pillows or even the cats bed... I think KO really wants to be a cat :)

"Burton Fam" all grown up!!!!

Jeff and I had an amazing thanksgiving vacation. We were able to spend a few days with my fam for the holiday and my birthday and then traveled up to Tremonton for some time with the Harris's. My mom made an amazing Thanksgiving dinner and rented out a fun game room to play rockband, wi, ping pong, and a call of duty challenge. We were also able to get family pics for the first time since 1990, now that all us girls are married and our family is growing I guess my mom wants to capture us now :)!!!!! My wonderful friend Annie Duckworth took our amazing pics, we had way too many to choose from for holiday cards! Despite the freezing temp and jumping in and out of the car between pics and all the shivering going on, I don't think our pics could've turned out any better. The only down fall is I'm kicking myself for not getting family pics with our adorable puppies, OOPS! Next time.
