NFR Week In Vegas
Yesterday kicked off the NFR. This is one of my favorite things of the year even though I have never got to go. The reason I have so much fun this week is because my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins come into town. We hang out all weekend and just laugh and have a good time.
This year my cousin Amber came and we went out last night. We went to Toby Keith's Bar first because Chris Ledeux's son was playing there. Amber had been trying to go see them in Bakersfield but I guess she could never go. Also this was a free concert so she had a blast there. Then we headed to Stoney's but the line was just a little long and it was definitely too cold to sit outside and wait so I introduced her to Raising Cane's chicken fingers. She is addicted now.
Today we went to Cowboy Christmas at the convention center. It is full of all different stands but everything to do with country. Boots, jeans, shirts, belts, purses, blankets, and more. It was a lot of fun. So much to look at.
So far it has been a blast. We have more to come though and I am already worn out. Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to get tickets to the rodeo sometime this weekend!

Day 5 of Christmas Memories
One Christmas morning, my sister Kalah and I woke up to a play house that my Dad A.K.A Santa built for us. It was the coolest thing for 2 little girls to have. We had it completely furnished with one of those foam couches that pulled out into a bed, curtains, a kitchen set, and of course cribs for our babies. I love my Dad for those little things he did for us when we were little because those are the things that I'll remember forever. (Tarin wasn't born yet when we got the house but that is the only picture I could find with a full view of it)

Day 3 Christmas Memories
Every year since we were little it was tradition that we take our pictures with Santa. We missed out last year but we already got it done this year. I recommend Town Square's Santa. He has his own little house and everything. This particular picture was taken at the Bass Pro Shop. We went there because they had 8 live reindeer pulling the sleigh and we thought it would be cool to see. Well apparently Santa thought "we" were cool to see. He was a really really young Santa and asked us to "sit on his lap" and not like he asked all the other little kids ahead of us in line. You might be a redneck Santa if you hit on the kids coming to tell you their wish list!!

Day 2 of Christmas Memories
I wish I could remember the year but I think Tarin was in 2nd or 3rd grade. On Christmas Eve, my Dad's side of the family gets together to exchange gifts and usually my Aunt Laurie spends the night and we all open Santa's gifts in the morning. This particular Christmas Eve, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with Jim Carey just came out and so Tarin let me dress her up as Cindy Loo Who. We put a sock in the bun on the top and clothes hangers for the wired pig tails. It was a bit hit and a lot of fun to put together.

25 Days of Christmas Memories
My next 24 memories I try to make more exciting with some young childhood memories and pictures. 1 down 24 to go!
As I was putting up the Christmas tree with my mom tonight I had several Christmas memories so I decided to post 1 memory a day. This will be fun for me and my family to have to think about fun things we have done in the past years at Christmas time.
Day 1 is a memory from last year. A little background info...my boyfriend seems to surprise me every year with a real Christmas tree in my room. So last year I am laying in my bed half asleep looking at my tree when I "think" I see it starting to fall but I figured it was just my eyes from being tired and then all of a sudden I realize it WAS falling. I tried to jump up to catch it but I didn't make it in time. It stayed on the floor until I woke up the next day.

Update Overload
The twins turned one. We had a Baby Sesame Street themed party. I wish I could have got better pictures but it was difficult to get through the grandmas, grandpas, great grandparents, aunts and uncles paparazzi. I guess that what happens when your just a cousin.
Thanksgiving came and went. My sister and my cousin were in town. Also my mom's brother and his kids were in town. It was the first time they have ever came for Thanksgiving. We may have had 22 people here but we were still 2 people down. My Aunt Laurie was in the hospital (I hope that never, never happens again) and my cousin Skeeter was in Disneyland with his dad (I couldn't blame him for that). We managed to get a picture in Wednesday morning though before he left.
Clockwise: Me, Jeremy, Brandi, Tarin, Kalah, and Skeeter (my cousins on my mom's side)

We went out as a family this past weekend. We went to the Geshia house for dinner. It was a hole in the wall but it is one of those places where they cook for right in front you. My sisters and I had never been to a place like that so we thought it was the coolest thing. After dinner we went and saw Four Christmases. It was pretty good. They showed most of the funny parts in the commercials though. 
Tarin thought she was at a Chinese restaurant and had to cross her legs.

My sisters and I also went to the Jonas brothers concert. I guess it is like my N*sync but it just wasn't as good. My little sister loved it though. We didn't know until we got there but they were playing with Demi Lavato, her other favorite singer from Camp Rock. We had a really good time. We made shirts and all!

Cute shirts but no I really don't have a crush on Kevin
