Elder Cade Jones

About 2 weeks ago my little brother Cade left on his mission. He will be serving in the Scotland/Ireland mission. I am so proud and happy of his decision to go and serve the Lord for 2 years. However, I love my little brother so much and will miss him terribly! I already do miss him tons. Haha

We drove Cade down to the airport and he was off on his flight to the England MTC. He was so excited to be leaving and couldn't wait until it was time for him to go through the security gate and get on his plane. He kept asking all of us if it was time for him to go yet. It was sad to see him leave, but it helped to see how excited he was to going.

He looked like such a stud

I know that Cade will do a great job serving the people of Scotland and Ireland. He is already growing so much, and I can't wait to keep seeing how he does over the next 2 years. But I also hope these next 2 years go by very quickly! Haha

Christmas Day

Christmas Day was such a blast for the both of us!! We loved every single second of it. We were both really spoiled by our family and we were especially spoiled by each other. I love being able to spend these types of moments with Trevor. This Christmas was one we will never forget! This Christmas brought alot of suprises for us, suprises we could not be happier about.

My husband is the cutest man ever! I think he is so fun, exciting, and the best of all, unpredictable! He is my most favorite person ever! Trevor was so excited for Christmas this year, and having to wait all month long for Christmas day to come was just killing my poor husband! So he begged and asked if we could please open our presents before Christmas. He came up with alot of reasons why we should and I loved seeing how anxious he was that I finally gave in! Haha We opened our presents from each other on December 23. It was fun to be able to open our gifts from each other on a night where we could just relax and take our time. It was a good idea on his part!

Trevor was so anxious to get started

We sure got spoiled by each other

On Christmas Day Trevor and I were able to spend the entire day with family. It really was a fun day, one that we would never change! I was particuraly excited for Christmas because I had planned the best suprise for Trevor. One that I knew he would not see coming at all! When we went to his parents house on Christmas, Trevor got his big suprise. I had stashed his suprise present there!

That look on his face was priceless

Trevor had been begging for an x-box since the day that we got married. I was very concerned about getting him one because I was scared it would take my husband away from me. Haha But I finally gave him, and am so glad I did because of how excited he was. And so far the x-box has not taken my husband away from me!

We had a great Christmas and were so excited to be able to spend the day together and with our great families! We are already anticipating our next Christmas.

Christmas Eve

Wow it has taken me awhile to update our blog on all of the fun we had over the holidays. After Christmas was over, we both jumped right back into school and work. We have been so busy, with alot of things going on.
On Christmas Eve Trevor and I spent the night with some of my family. We all went to a movie, got dinner, and then went back to my dads house for some games and talking. We love it when we get to spend time with family. Last year my family started a tradition with a fun game we all like to play. Its called 'Horse Races' and we all love it. One reason I think we all love it so much is because we are all so competitive with one another. The champ from last year is my brother Cade, and he was bragging it up all night stating that he would be the champ this year as well. Well the races began and Trevor, Cade, and myself all were doing pretty good. I am not very good at this game, but I am still pretty competitive!

After all the races were said and done I somehow made it to the final race!! It was me against my brother Cade, the raining champ. Haha I was pretty nervous when it came time for the race because I knew how competitive he would be with it!!

Right before the race began

As you can see with the look on my brothers face he was ready for this race, and knew he was going to win! Little did my brother know, my competitive self came out in this race and..... I won fair and sqaure!! I was so excited that I had won, and everyone in the room was shocked that I beat Cade. It was probably the best victory I have felt! Haha

With my winning piece and horse trophy!

Trevor and I had such a blast on Christmas Eve and was so sad when it quickly came to an end! We can't wait for next year and all the fun we know we will have again.
