Tis the Season...To be busy...

Our busy week began on the 9th when Aniston was born, and then the 10th was my Mom's birthday which we all spent in and out of the hospital seeing Angela and the baby. Then the 11th we had my Work Christmas party. They had it at a fancy County Club on the East side. They served a very nice dinner and gave out hysterical gag gifts to each employee...But by far the best part of the evening was a hypnotist. My good friend and co-worker Sierra was one of the 7 to be hypnotized. I have known her for almost 12 years so I have seen the crazy side of her personality but a lot of people haven't. She was a body builder, surfer, the leader of the Village People and in a marching band. At the end of the night my cheeks and stomach hurt so bad from laughing at her and another kid named Ryan. He did a perfect reinactment of the Napoleon Dynamite dance that had everyone almost rolling on the floor. Our Christmas parties are usually quite fun but this one will be very hard to ever beat!

Then Friday the 12th we had a small get together at our house for my very good friend Tina's birthday. It was fun hanging out and seeing her kids, which always crack me up.

Saturday night we had a Christmas party with another group of our good friends at Jaron and Andreas house. They cooked a delicious meal and we also got to see all of their kids and how big they are all getting. We were the only couple out of 7 that did not have at least one kid, and we are not even the youngest!

Later in the evening we had to bare the snow and head to Alexis and Aspen's dance performance. They both did so good and were adorable!! After all 3 of their dances we headed back to the party and enjoyed the rest of the night catching up with our friends.

Sunday we all gathered at Tysons parents house to trade presents. I got "The Host" from Tyler and Aubree which I can not wait to read. We had to gather a little early this year because it is Tai and Coby's year to spend Christmas with her family. After that we had the Stalder (Ty's Mom's side) family party as well.

The last night of the fun was Monday the 15th, Alexis's 8th birthday we just visited at my brothers house and had cake and ice cream. I love the picture above because it is a perfect Alexis and Aspen moment.

Angela has been lucky that Aniston can sleep right through the craziness of her big sisters! Now we have nothing... and we do not til Christmas Eve..but I will enjoy the few days of feeling like I get something done. Hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays like we are and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!

Just some more pic's of the girls from the long day...(Read post below first)

and both Showing us their splits

ANISTON IS HERE!!!!!

Aniston Blymiller savely arrived today at 8:26 in the morning. She weighed almost 2 lbs more than Aspen at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 inches long. We were all caught quite off guard by her looks, she looks identical to my brother (Matt) nothing like Aspen did. She is dark skinned, has the most hair I have ever seen on a newborn and it is jet black. I really hope it stays so dark because it is a gorgeous color.
We are all so happy for my brothers growing family and I am so excited to have another addition to my nieces. I also wish them luck in the weeks to come, because Aspen is going to take some time to get used to the new addition. She wants to as she says "Pet" the baby every second and thinks the world is ending everytime she crys. She is so happy to be a big sister but a little to enthusiastic about it for all of us to handle. Alexis is a little more non-chalant about the change but still excited to have a new baby sister to help take care of. Aniston's doctor said she came out with a face full of makeup already, she has some dark birth marks but they are already quickly fading.(It really does look like she has full layer of pink eyeshadow on.)

Aniston and Uncle Ty Ty, so cute you just want to kiss her face!

While Angela is in the hospital with the baby I have volunteered to take Alexis for a few days to help out and my Mom has Aspen. I also volunteered to take both girls to dance which I just got back from And....all I have to say is Angela is a VERY brave and patient person to go through that every week. To many whiny parents and screaming kids for me! Sometimes I really wonder if I am built for the whole motherhood thing. I love having Alexis and helping her with homework, taking her to school etc. but propts to all parents because it is kind of exhausting. (not that I have to point that out to any parent ..Right?) So overall a very busy but exciting day!! I love my nieces more than anything and now I just have three to brag about non-stop instead of just two........

Again..For anyone that missed my Venting

"While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions."
For me and many others I am sure this is one of the earliest lessons I remember learning as a child, but as I get older I start to understand it more and more everyday. I also realize more that some grown adults do not understand it at all! Each day I am presented with dealing with situations that do not have anything to do with my own choices as everyone does but now I have chosen to act in 1 of 3 ways to this. Accept, and let it be, Forget and move on, or completely IGNORE it, if I do not feel it will better my life....... Also... I feel the past is the past and my decisions now will ONLY change the outcome of my future never ask WHAT IF?!
Sometimes people think making things that happened years ago better will somehow make the future better. I think everything happens for a reason but if we are not willing to learn from everything than what is the point to anything?!! Consequences that result do to our choices, good or bad, are usually not always the easiest but they are what we have to deal with for making some of our most IMPORTANT and DIFFICULT choices. I think some people need to realize that others should not suffer along with them for THEIR choices resulting in THEIR bad consequences BUT...THEIR choices do Affect OTHERS!! So my lesson learned through resent life situations and advice to all presented with hard decisions.......
"Before every action ask yourself. Will this bring more monkeys on my back. Will the result of my action be a blessing or a heavy burden?

Just wanted to say....

HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY JENNA....

I also wanted to update everyone that Tanya is doing a lot better, she still needs some physical therapy to get her hand 100% but she is recovering very well!

Last but not least.....The last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about how LUCKY I really am. I have so many great friends including my best friend and sister Tanya. Everyone of my closest friends I have known for years. That proves that we have real and forever friendships.

I met Alecia and Tina when I was Five, Camille in third grade and Jenna, Sierra and Tai in seventh grade! It is the best feeling knowing that I always have great girls around for support and to have a blast with!! Our husbands all get along great as well which is just iceing on the cake. Thanks Ladies for being the best friends anyone could ever ask for!!

I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!

A fly, some dancing and Beware where you Park!

As many of you know Tyson has been working in Flaming Gorge and then will be hunting until Monday. So I have been home alone. But...last night I went with a few of my friends to "So you think you can Dance" Tour. The show was awesome I think dancers as talented as all of them are from another planet. Some of the things they can get their bodies to do especially the boys amazes me.

But the show is probably what I will remember least after the events of the evening....
We met up at Ruby Tuesdays before the show and the service was awful and slow, but as usual we have fun anyways.
Until I hear Shantai whisper "There is a fly in my potatoes" I the optimistic one of course went straight to thinking it probably was just a chive or something, but NO! I looked.... a real full sized dead fly right in the middle of her mashed potatoes. Tai did not take to this very well and wanted the food away from her sight at once. A free meal was given but Ruby Tuesdays will never sound good again...

So we finished our meal went to the amazing show and then as I was driving home I get a call from Camille. "Where are you?" I said on the freeway, why? Oh my car got towed....she continues to tell me.. "Seriously, I said". (See Tina and I had parked at the restaurant and were minutes away from moving our cars to the Hotel parking lot that Camille had parked earlier in the evening.) So my initial thought was "Oh thank goodness we did not move our cars" But I felt horrible that Camille had to pay to get hers out of impound. Overall a night of many interesting situations but to me will be memories I will not soon be forgetting!

So Lessons Learned DO NOT Eat or Park at the Hotels or Restaurants by the E-Center !!!!!!

Busy Saturday

I am feeling in a very bloggy mood, so just stop reading if I get too boring. This Saturday Ty and I had a very eventful day, we started the day out with heading to the Dew Tour downtown. We went last year and it was really fun, this year not so much! It was hot and there was WAY to many people! I think they oversold tickets by about 2,000. Tyson is usually less annoyed by crowds and heat so he enjoyed himself more so than me, but he does seem to light up when he watches sports he loves....and that I do like to see. While we were in line for the first event I did get a scary call from my Dad, informing me that Tanya (my little sis) wrecked on her four wheeler the night before and was quite banged up. Which in the Blymiller family is a normal occurence, but still always terrifying the same. So we finished up the two events at the Tour (Freestyle Motorcross, and BMX Park) and headed home. By the time we got home I was really tired and not so happy to relize the very unattracive sunburn lines we had gained over the day but yet it was only 4 o'clock. Anyhow, at this point I was ansy as ever to go check on my sister. Ty was heading up to Park City to hang out with Charie and Coby and I was going out with Jenna, Camille and Candice for a girls night. So we parted ways and I made it to my sisters to find her worse looking than I expected.

She was at Russell's cabin with a couple of friends just casually riding some trails and attempted to go up a small but too steap of a hill. Her friend Heather was on the back so the extra weight pulled the 4 wheeler on top of her. She tried to protect her face with her hand, which as you can see is all that was hurt. Half her face and her left hand. She did not break any bones but did break blood vessels in her hand and eye and swelled up obviously! It was a horrible accident but we are all so grateful that even though she looks bad her injurys were not worse!

Now, the next pics are not for the faint of Heart!!!

Her hand reminds me of a blown up vinyl glove it was huge and looks so painful!

This first pic of her face was Saturday when I first saw her and second was Sunday. She already looks a little better as far as swelling but her eye was almost completely blood red on the left side.I wish her the best for a speedy recovery,

I can not handle to many days at work without her!

After I visited with Tanya and Russell for a while I headed to meet up with my friends at the District for dinner and a movie. So it was a day filled with many emotions but ended up on a good note with a fun few hours with some of my best ladies. This pic is us at Red Robin with "Red".

*See the attractive tan lines I mentioned

Ty also enjoyed himself in Park City they went on the Alpine Slide and new Coaster as well as swam at the condos. I wish I could have been at all 3 places at once!

Short But So Sweet Updates...

1. We have found out the official date my brothers third daughter will be here. Aniston Blymiller will make her arrival on December 11, 2008. I can not wait!

Vegas Part 2

The Vegas Airport had these cool statues of reptiles, and since we had like 3 hours to spend in the airport (because of Tai and Coby's paranoia that we would be late), gave us a lot of time to play around.
What studs.....


On our last day we went to the top of the Statosphere, which reminded me that me being so scared of heights..Did Not make for the best idea! They all laughed at me because I had to stand at least 2 feet away from the glass at all times. So I believe this is Coby's impression of me.....

This is Dylan, Tina, Tyson and I on the shuttle going to the other end of the strip. It was like 104 degrees out so.... after about 15-20 minutes of walking we decided the nice air conditioned bus looked a lot better for just 2 dollars!

Just some beautiful scenery. Tai and I in the limo on the way to the wedding. One of the only pictures of just me and Tai in all of our years. I love it!

Stratosphere again we had a nice English lady take the picture.

Las Vegas

Just a few pictures of us around Vegas. My camera has been slowly giving out so I was not able to take any pictures myself sooooo..... currently I am patiently waiting for other's to donate some to me. These will just have to do for the time being and hopefully I will have more shortly. Tanya posing on the strip.


Bachelorette Party at the Rio's Voo-Doo Lounge, this was from the outside patio on the 52 floor! It was very high up and very windy, but sooo Neat.

Dinner at Lucky's Diner in the Stratosphere, after the wedding.

Little Sister's Big Day

On August 25th my Little Sister got married. She did everything very un-traditional which for her is how she does most things, but I would not expect anything else. So this is a pic of Tai, Me, Tina and Alecia before we headed out to the ceremony. I am so happy these girls were able to come out to celebrate with me! They were married at the "Valley of Fire" which is about an hour out side of Las Vegas. It was a very beautiful place.

Giving the Bride and Groom loves right after they said "I Do".

Tanya was a gorgeous Bride!!

All the ladies....

Mr and Mrs. Ottley

We were able to ride to the location in limo's, it was way fun. Squished but fun! I am so glad to see my Sister so happy and able to do exactly what she wanted to for her Wedding. Russell was a very handsome groom and seemed ecstatic to be married to Tanya, which just melted my heart. I wish them the best of luck!

Quotes are worth a thousands thoughts!

This cartoon explains so much of my feelings these days! "Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”

"Respect is mutual, if you don't
respect others viewpoints, chances are they won't acknowledge
yours."

"You shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you mad."

"Speak when you're angry, and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret."

"Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.”

"Only a few things are really important."
