My G-Parents!

I just wanted to write a quick not on how much I LOVE and APPRECIATE my Grandma and Grandpa!!!!! I dont know what I would do without them. The littest things make my day.

I work with my grandma as a receptionist at her tax place, well, we never really eat lunch only when we get a few minutes of free time. Well, last thursday, friday and saturday my grandma made a sandwhich and let me have half, as she had the other half. Well today (Monday) she brought me a sandwhich and my favorite pudding,(Squash pie pudding :).. YUMMY..)and it just made me think how much I LOVE them!!! and am so thankful for everything they do for me!!! :)

LOVE YOU GPA and GMA! :P!

Just call us the Bracken INN for animals!

Ok!! So we got a new dog! Didnt see that one coming. She is 3 or 4 months old, Border Collie, and she was neglected by her previous owners (so brent sais... but by the way she acts I believe it). We named her Montana, but call her Mo Tard!! Yes, that is mean, but she is a little ditsy! It fits!! She is a cute dog, black and white. Her and Koda love each other. :)!

I just think it's funny how Brent thinks I cave into animals when he is the one brining ALL of them home!!! I guess our place is the animal shelter, I think I should make a sign that says "Strays.. welcome here!" animals and people! (Ya know since brents friends practically moved into the house hince they're always there 24/ 7!)

Anyway, I cant object to our new pup Mo because I have a soft spot for animals! and I already love her.

HOLY FriCkin' SNOW!!!!

Can I just say... HOLY FRICKIN SNOW!!!!!...Our little town of Enterprise has recieved SOOOOOOO much snow the last few days its insane! It just keeps dumpin down new snow. We have got to have at least 2 or 3 feet of snow. (NO JOKE!!!! I really dont think Im exagerating!(spelling?)There could possibly be more than that.

I LoVe LoVe LoVe the snow, BUT the snow and I have a love, hate relationship!!! I am not the best driver in the snow. The snow makes me want to sit on the couch with a gallon bucket of YummY YummY Ice Cream and watch sad sappy love movies all day long. I would AlSo Love to play in the snow if I had a play buddy!

Another thing, I wish it would of snowed like this at ChRisTmaS time!That would of been AwEsOmE!

I will post pictures of the sNoW soon!!!! I just had to let you know about ALL the sNoW, plus I havent seen a snow storm like this in a LONG LONG LONG time!!!!!

YAY FOR SNOW!!!! (except the drive home..uh, not looking forward to that.)

The NeW YeAr!

Its been FOREVER since I have blogged, my goal this year is to try to keep up with it!!! I have lots of pictures and fun from christmas that I never got posted. And our going away party for Kandis, Just tons of things have been happening and never enough time to blog, plus it doesnt help when I dont have internet at home!

...but for an update, Brent is running his own tire shop in Veyo, I am working on still passing the Praxis so I can student teach, Brents older sister Brandie had her baby girl, Zoey, Friday around 11 PM. and Wes, Brent's older brother's little boy Gunner finally got to go home from Primary Childrens, who has been there since Christmas. Now.. for the most exciting news yet (sorta)...we've moved into a HOUSE!!!! Yes, a HOusE!!!! We are super excited about it. It took lots of time, frustration and great friends to help us get it ready and liveable in the 3 days it took us to get it all finished. The year has started out with a BANG!!!! :P

Brent and I hope you all Have a great and healthy 2010!!! And accomplish the goals you have set. We love you all, and I promise to be better at this!!

This year for Thanksgiving we went to my grandparents house in Diamond Valley!!! My sister Whitney and I made our Thanksgiving dinner.. With my grandma's guidance and help of course.. But, for the most part we made the pies, salads, rolls, yams, home made noodles, potatoes.. You name it, we did it!!!! Once the all the family arrived we took some family pictures. My mom was sick so she didnt attend. We had a blast, It was nice to get everyone together and just laugh and have a good time!! By the end of the meal we were ALL STUFFED!!!! Couldnt move, uncomfortable, having to undue our pants so we could breath!! After a while, Brent and I went to Gunlock to say hi to his family then home ward we headed. That evening I went to my dads to visit and have a second.. light.. dinner!!! It was a Great thanksgiving!!!! And I am so thankful for the family that we have in our lives!!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!!!!
-The Brackens!!! :)!
