Usually we don't open our pajamas until christmas eve, but now we get them a month early due to the christmas cards...:)I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. This year I was so excited to write Grant a very long letter of all the ways I am so thankful for him. He is amazing in so many ways, and I don't know what I would do without him.!! Also I have the greatest family ever, and I am so blessed to have them in my life...

Crazy cookie day!







Every year all the girls in my family get together and bake Norwegian cookies. It's another one of our crazy traditions! So this year my Aunt wanted to have it up at her cabin. So Grant and I headed up to Park City early on Sunday morning. We baked all day and had cookies coming out our ears. Grant and all the guys just hung out and watched football.
It was so much fun, and now I don't know what I am going to do with all the cookies??

I've been Tagged!! List 6 habits or facts about yourself

1. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I just love the meaning and the reason why we celebrate it! My family is the greatest and I am so thankful for each and everyone of them.... And of course the food, my Grandma spends weeks preparing for it, then after we eat we all go bowling! It's the best way to burn off all those calories!


2. My all time favorite food is cereal. I could live of this for all three meals. I'm really not picky about what it is, as long as it has some suger. But my all time favorite is cap'n crunch.

3. I have become quite a football fanatic. Ever since being married to Grant, I have really been getting in to all of the football games. Even watching them at home on T.V. We have our season passes to the U of U and I look forward to every game we go to. I can't wait for next week when we play BYU! There going DOWN!!!!

4. I am addicted to shopping! Especially when I find bargains..I seriously could go everyday, if I had time and money. I can not wait until the day after Thanksgiving, that is the best day to shop! Me my Mom and sisters get up at 2 or 3 in the morning and it is an all day adventure!

5. I love to fish and camp. Fishing is so relaxing to me and I love sleeping under the stars. Nothing better than sitting around a campfire and telling stories.

6. Last of all my middle name is Pearl. I am the fourth generation! I was named after my great Grandma. Grant is so funny he always calls me "Pearl" and it makes me fell like an old lady!

One serious pumpkin carving contest!





So needless to say Grant and I did not win the contest this year! The pumpkin we carved was pretty tricky, it looked alot easier than it really was(its supposed to be a football player with a helmet on).. My family is so crazy, they time you right down to the minute, then we have judges come over and pick out the winner...Oh well better luck next year......! These were our last minute costumes we threw together!

My favorite time of the year!

Well fall is officially here and it is my favorite time of the year! I love everything about this month ..everywhere you look there are brown, red and orange leaves(which Grant and I were raking and playing in today!!), haunted houses, the sweet smell of pumpkin and cinnamon scents, pumpkin cookies(mmmm..my favorite), Halloween costumes, and all the fun partys! I especially love the trip to the pumpkin patch to pick out that perfect pumpkin for carving. This is a tradition in our family to have a huge pumpkin carving contest, and boy is it serious. You are timed right down to the last minute, and then we have a judge come over and pick out the winner. Grant and I were so lucky to win it last year so this year the pressure is on...Also I can't forget to mention college football season,(another reason why fall is the best!) Nothing better than going to the U of U games and sporting your red gear! Go Utes!!!!!!!

Coed Softball!




So, Grant and I have been playing on a coed softball team with our friends every Monday night! At first I was pretty nervous playing with the guys, but I got use to it pretty quick....It's actually been a lot of fun playing with Grant. Well, Softball is over now and my sister talked us into playing on a soccor league(which is going to be really scary, seeing how I've never played soccor a day in my life) I guess we'll see how it goes!!

Visiting Grandma!


What a day! Grant has to work on Saturdays now(which totally sucks), but I got to hang out with the fam so I can't complain. So today we all went up to see my sweet Grandma Kari at the care center. She is so cute and it always makes my day better when I get to see her. She is the Grandma from Norway, so of course we got all of our Norwegian traditions from her(and believe me there are a ton)! Grant always makes fun of my family saying were crazy with all of our traditions we have... I just tell him life would be so boring without them, right? Traditions are great to have and I am definately going to keep them going!!
