I Love Dec!!!!

So Dec has come and almost gone! We have had a wonderful month! So much had gone on. At the beginning of the month we had a Burrows's around the world, Christmas tree express! First of all though we head up to Christmas( I know its a perfect name!) Meadows, to cut down a tree, we wen't with Fez, Angie, Whit, Brent(who Whitney is marrying on Feb 22, and we are excited for them!) Taylor. Also we had all of my family, everyone it was great! Even my grandma Helen came, she is such a trooper! But it was fun we all found the perfect trees for our homes some shot and fat, some tall and skinny! But it very fun!

This is the tree that Richy wanted for our house! Just because he is the one stuck doing the lights so he wanted to go small!

We left parker in the parking lot on Wyoming on the way up there! We drove for about 5 mins before noticing that Parker wasn't there and we found him walking around the parking lot, he thought we were just hiding from him! Park we wouldn't leave you for good your to cute!

My cute Grandma Helen! She is one amazing lady!

And here is the whole crew!

Well so after we got our wonderful trees! We decorated them for our Christmas Tree express! First stop my grandma Dixie and Grandpa Art house! Where they fed us amazing dips and chips!

Then off toCody and Robyn's house for salad!

Addi loves "HER" tree

Cody and Robyn's tree and family!

The off to my Mom and Dad's House for the main course!

My mom made it look so cute!

Then we came to our house, we decorated sugar cookies that has kinda become a tradition with our family, but I found cute recipe the you can make the ornaments so thats what we did!

So it had been wonderful but I am very tired, so I will post about our cruise and such later!

Nov is over!

Well Nov came and went so fast but it was a good month! I love Nov, I love the family parties we three birthdays in my family and thanksgiving! Also now in Nov is our anniversary this year was our first it was nice we are leaving on a Cruise in a week so we didn't do anything major, first Richy study while I went and re-certified my CPR, then we came home and raked leaves kinda I hate raking so I mowed them up while Richy was doing other things in the yard. Then we can in a took a nap which was very nice, then we went to dinner at Lucky China(we love that place) then we came home and worked on my Young womens hand out for the next day! It was a great anniversary, I really like a relaxed day! But we are both very excited for our cruise! Then we had thanksgiving we first went and shot shot guns at Richy's parents house then I went and help my mom get ready for dinner and we ate there. It was great I love spending time with my extended family! Then we went and played card games with Richy family. Then we had Black Friday! I have NEVER been shopping before I have never wanted to or I had to work but this year I had it off, so we slept over at my mom's house then head out at three in the morning to go to target! We had my younger brother Parker with us and he is so funny he makes everything a adventure! But we were in line and then had Richy go buy us hot cocoa, then we had to sneak him back in line while Parker distracted the security guard that was kicking people out of the line for bringing people in line that hadn't waited with everyone! Then the doors opened at five and Richy started yelling at some girl that was running in front of people then the whole line started yelling at her! It was a mad house, so that was it we were in the doors and Richy started running one way and Parker started running another and yelling to me "Brinkley, run run! and I stood there laughing so hard at everyone I couldn't remember what in the world i was going for. But then I found parker he had stolen a cart from some one so he was just running putting things in it that other people were freaking out about but that we didn't need! And Richy was running around carrying to luggages and a Barbie stroller for his sister. But it was a great day Richy got the luggage and parker got the DVD player for my mom, and I got my vests I wanted! We were in and out of Target in 12 mins that has to be a record! Then we headed off to 6 other stores and still made it home to be in bed before 8, it was a wonderful day! I will for sure do it again if I get my same crew to go! I love my fun husband for putting up with my crazy side, and my cute brother who was the one that kept us all laughing!

One Year!

Well today is our one year anniversary! Yeah it has been a great year because of Richy, we didn't have the issue that most newlyweds do(maybe because I have known him for 19 years, sure helps)! He is the most easy going person I have every met! But I am grateful I am able to be married to such a wonderful guy!Thank you, I love you Richy! Happy Anniversary!

Parker(my little brother) and Ryan

All of Richy's siblings

Ryan right after he got set apart

This post is for my brother-in-law Ryan, even though he won't be seeing it. Ryan leaves on his mission today. He will be serving in Hawaii. I am excited for him, but I still struggle with missions. I know they are wonderful things and need to happen, but man are they hard. I had to say goodbye to Ryan last night because I have to work today, but Ryan and I have gotten really close when Richy was on his mission, he and his mom would come over a lot to my house and just talk and Ryan would try and talk some sense into me. When Richy was gone I would go with his family to there family's cabin and we would ride the 4-wheeler for ever, there was one hike that we went on we were trying to get to the top of this mountain, we finally made it three hours later after getting chased by a wild turkey, sliding down snow and so many other funny things, also when Richy got home from his mission he came over that day and ask me to go for lunch for my birthday with his family. Well the first thing I did was turn to Ryan and ask if he was going to go. We laugh that he was my comfort zone. So yeah I am so happy for Ryan he will be a wonderful missionary and the people in Hawaii will be bless to have him! But I will sure miss him being around the family! See ya in two years Ryan! We love you!

My family and my uncles family about 15 years ago went in on campground in Moab! We have work on in every summer since then and some times more then in the summers. But it has turned out amazing. I love Moab it is such a beautiful place with so many of God's amazing creations. Well this last week end we went to Moab it was Richy's first time so I was excited for him to see Moab, and to be able to go jeeping! So here are some pictures of our trip!

Volleyball

Well this last week has been crazy but so fun! I have been reminded of how much I miss playing volleyball. About a month ago Wendy Long (my 8th grade teacher) called me and she is now the principal of T.H. Bell asked if I would want a coaching job at her school for volleyball, I told her I would have to see what would happen with my work schedule but it all work out and I am able to coach. We are doing clinics for right now, and next week is try-outs. I have really liked it like I said it has reminded me my volleyball careers and I miss it. Volleyball is a great sport and even if my husband won't agree, volleyball is the greatest sport to play! There is just one down fall in my coaching job is my little mini-me sister Mac is playing for Rocky Mountain Jr High, and they are in our District. So we will have to be rivals for awhile! My mom is sure in a hard spot, Which daughter does she cheer for??????? Jk Mac I hope you have a great season you are an amazing volleyball player! I am glad that you play just like me so I can teach my team your tricks! So we will see how the season goes!

Family!

Parker and Mac

This bison was so close to our car I wanted to reach out and touch it but there was motorcyclist right behind us so I was worried that it would charge after them.

I got tired of the back seat so I sat right in the middle in the front and put my head out the sun roof!

So a couple weeks ago we went to Yellowstone with my family. We have started doing this random thing where my mom will call maybe on Monday or Tuesday and say we are going to bear lake or where ever and we pretty much just pack up and go. It helps that I have an amazing husband that really will do whatever I want to, so he goes with no problem. So our last time was to Yellowstone it was fun my dad did a job up there so we went! Here our some of our pictures from the trip.

She's here!

My dad had a cold a week ago but they weren't going to take any chances!

Proud grandma!

Cody showing us the baby up close, she was wide awake!

Addi loves her new little sister she kept asking "why is she was crying?" and "She needs me" and before the nurses had her in a blanket Addi told the nurse to get her a blanket her sister was "nakie" and cold!

She is tiny in Cody's arms.

Before the Birth!

Well little Oakley is here and so cute! She was born at 9:36 this morning! My mom and dad and Robyn's parents and brittany and I were at the hospital and after three very easy pushes from Robyn and she was here! You couldn't even tell that robyn had just had a baby here hair was still great and her makeup was still on I honestly don't think that she even broke a sweat while in labor! but we are so glad everything went good with the baby and mom oh and dad, Cody really didn't turn pale all that much!
