GO Seahawks!!

We went out to Tooele to celebrate Michelle's Birthday and to also cheer on the Seahawks, its the game that was going to keep them in the running for the Super Bowl. They didn't win but it was still fun to go out and spend time with family and have some fun. We had fun getting to go out say happy birthday to Michelle also!

Guster

Randy and Malissa invited us to the Guster concert a few months ago and we had no idea who they were but Randy got us there music and we became big fans of them! We were going to go out to dinner before but I was at work till 5 so Craig and I just stopped and got something on our way down,while Randy, Malissa, Riley and his date Kati went to dinner with some of Randy's friends. We got there and the line to get in was so long so we got in line and waited about 20 minutes before they would let us in. The Band before Guster was really good also, I think we are going to try to get some of there music. I really don't love going to concerts but I went for my husband and sister. I just hate all the people who are pushing and shoving and think they are the only ones there. But it was good we had lots of fun. Thanks Randy for introducing us to them, we had a lot of fun.

Our Christmas!!

With Craig having to work on Christmas morning we decided to do our Christmas on Christmas Eve just in the afternoon before we went to dinner with the Price's. Both Craig and I had to work on Christmas Eve so we waited till we got off work. We set out each others Stockings and we were able to look at all the fun stuff "Santa" got each of us! We then took turns opening gifts and had so much fun seeing each other open their gifts. We were both so spoiled this year, I am sure the pictures tell you that. Craig did so good this year I had no idea what he got me, he got me a new sterio for my car, a picture of the Ogden temple, a shirt, a robe, a message, socks, boots and so much more. I am such a lucky girl! Me and all my stuff

Craig got a sweater that he was so excited about, a CD, some socks, scrubs and the big gift and XBox 360 with the Kinect, (I tried so had to keep it a secret but I think he was kinda expecting it) he got a game for the kinect and then two other games.
Craig and all of his stuff!

Like I said we were both so spoiled this year, not only from each other but also from our family's, we are so blessed to be able to do things for each other.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas because I know we sure did.

Christmas Day

Craig had to work on Christmas morning so I went to my parents for breakfast and then just spent the morning there with everyone. My dad always makes an awesome breakfast with cinnamon pull aparts, eggs, bacon and sausage. It is really one meal I look forward to on Chirstmas. Craig got off at 2 so once he was off he came over to my parents house and we ate lunch and then opened presents with everyone. Craig got a two Xbox games from Ashlee and I got some kitchen things and a sweater from Shannon. Shannon and Cohen

After we got done at my parents we went to Craig's parents house and did our gift exchange with those's that were there. We were able to play games and just relax there and enjoy our day with family!

We then made our way back to Willard for the Stucki christmas party. We were having family pictures so we made sure to be there. I was nice to get everyone there for pictures, not just my family but the whole family, all my aunt, uncles and cousins. So needless to say is that we had a lot of people there for pictures it was great! When I get them I will try to put them up so you all can see. Grandpa also makes Christmas sleighs for us each year and that is something I look forward to also. I haven't gotten a picture of it yet but I will try to put that up also.

I am so grateful for this wonderful time of year and all that we have. I am grateful to get to spend so much time with our family and be with them. To remember the real meaning of christmas and remember Christ! I am so glad to have the gospel in my life and to enjoy the blessings that we have, I hope that you all had such a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We spent most of Christmas Eve with the Price family which was really good. We went to dinner and had a great time with everyone. We went back to Glen and Nancy's house to do a little lesson about Christmas time. Keri did a great job putting it together, we talked about what Christmas is about and why we have Christmas. We talked about traditions and what other places do as traditions. We then watched everyone open there Chirstmas Eve pj's. It was a great night! The boys listening to the story

Ginger Bread Houses

We have started to make gingerbread houses each year now with the Price's. Last year we made it so that we make up different things to make rather then just the same old thing. So we had lots of different things this year, we had a temple, a church, an out house, just a ginger bread house, big ben, a train, a castle, a park, a nativity, a house, and iglo, okay and I don't remember the other ones but you get the idea. We had a lot of fun and we look forward to doing it each year now! I tried to get a picture of everyone and their creation. Chad had the Ginger Bread house

Okay so I was up loading the pictures from my camera and I didn't realise that I haven't blogged about a lot of things so I am going to try to catch up on some things that I have forgotten so this post is going to be kind of long just to warn you.

Well the other day I was at my mom's just hanging out with my mom and sister Ashlee. Well we were looking in her hall closest and I found a bag of glasses that have those big noses and make you look funny, anyways well I figured would put them on and this is what happened!!

Me and Ash
My name is Ariana and I am kinda special!!

We were having so much fun, you have to love that little things like this can make your night so much better. My mom couldn't stop laughing and that made me laugh so hard.

Craig thought I looked really special in this picture!

A few weeks ago Craig and I took a drive up to Inspiration Point. We had such I great time driving up there and seeing all of the leafs changing and just enjoying this wonderful world we live on. I was thinking about how amazing it is that our Heavenly Father made such a wonderful place for us to live on.

What a great land we live on

Me and the jeep

(Craig had to make sure to get a picture of the jeep)

Me and Craig at Inspiration Point

Okay well about a month or so ago I was really upset about a few things. Craig had lost his job, I had quite my job to work for my Dad but hadn't started yet so we were both unemployed and I you know how hard that can be. Well I had been having a bad morning and I didn't think things could get better and guess what they didn't. Craig and I went to leave for the day to go to my parents well before we left Grandpa Stucki pulled up on the four wheeler and was talking to us, he went to leave and Craig still had his door open and yes Grandpa hit it. ( He was really sorry that it happened and I know he didn't mean to do it, I feel bad at how upset I got) I thought it was really broken and as you can guess I got even more upset. On top of the fact that we both didn't have job's we were going to have to pay to get the jeep fixed. Come to find out Craig could fix it and nothing really was that broken, the door just got pushed back a little and that's it but I kept saying that Satin was out to get me and I know he was. That was a really big lesson for me I need to just understand that things happen for a reason and that I need to take them as life lesson. I have been trying to be better about not getting so upset about the small things that don't matter.

After Craig got it all taken apart

My jeep all torn apart

I am so glad that I have a husband that can fix pretty much everything it is great. We have never had to have to pay someone to fix our cars, we have just had to pay for the parts which is better then paying for it all. Also I am glad that Craig keeps me in check all the time to remind me that things like this don't matter and that it will all be alright.
