This is what my child does when I'm not looking!! Usually she takes every piece of clothing out of her dresser and puts as much of it on and around her and comes and tells me "look mama, cuuute." Bless her heart, I am soooo nervous about what I'm going to do when she can actually dress herself.....oh shoot me!!!

Well, I'm trying to get caught up now that we have our computer up and running again. Here are some pictures of the Bridges and us Thankgiving weekend. We decided to take the girls to see Santa and do a picnic at the park but the whole Santa thing didn't go over very well....Payson was scared to death!!!

It's that time of year!!








We've kind of made it a tradition to take family pictures at Christmas time....so with that being said, it was time!! My good friend Jamie Hutchings from our ward is an amazing photographer so I asked if she would take them this year. She did an awesome job, we love them and loved the location she choose!! Good job Jamie, your the BEST!!!
Payson was not in a picture taking mood which was a total bummer, I think we got one smile out of her in a family picture the rest she was a little ticked that we made her sit still for a minute....go figure!! She was having a ball playing with all the leaves and pecans, never mind the camera!!!

Crazy old drunk man

Alright so funny story!! I was driving home tonight from mutual....which by the way our church building is a million miles away....lots of potential for funny things to happen!! I have a couple girls in my car along with my neighbor who also happens to be my beehive advisor....so fun!! Anyway, as we are driving we start to approach a police car that had just pulled someone over. My first initial reaction is to slow down as we pass and stare at whats going on....come on we all do it!! Then all of the sudden to our dismay the man that the police officer pulled over starts to stumble slash run into the street towards our oncoming car traveling at approx. 45 mph. Holy crap!! What was I supposed to do!! The police officer by now is totally spazzing out with his flash light and yelling at us to stop and for the man to get back into his car.....total chaos!! By now my heart was pounding out of my chest and I was so unsure of what I was supposed to do!! I was now driving on the wrong side of the road just to get as far away from the crazy old drunk man and the police officer was still yelling to confuse the heck out of me!! Anyway, the drunk man got back into his car and we drove on and we were freaked out for the rest of the night!! Now as I think of the total chaos I can't help but laugh and thought I share a tid bit of what happened tonight.
By the way, our computer is STILL getting fixed!! We have a loner for right now but I can't get my pictures from my camera on here so ya'll will just have to wait for me to update ya with some pics if we ever get our dang computer back!!!

Our computer is dead!!

Our computer has been acting so funny for the last little while and Nick and I have totally been neglecting all the pop ups saying something is wrong. Needless to say its now officially donezooo!!! We just dropped it off today to get fixed and I'm already having computer withdrawals!!! I never realized what a convenience it is to have a computer......hopefully it won't take much to fix it. So.....no blogging for me for a while!!!

What more could a girl need......cell phone, purse, swim suit, and a baby doll!! She is ALL girl!!!


About a month ago we starting landscaping our backyard and boy did Payson love every minute of it!! She spent endless hours out in the mud with Nick and I spent endless hours cleaning her up after the mess!! Our backyard is finally done, which means NO more mud!!! Now everytime we go one walks and Payson spots mud in someones yard she bolts right to it and takes care of buisness......oh shoot me!!! They end up mudless and I end up taking it all home....somethings wrong with that picture!!! Anyway, we had a great time finally making our home complete with a backyard. Props to my wonderful husband, dad and our good friend Isaac for all there hard work.

Five minutes before our ward Halloween party we decided to dress up. Nick was sooooo excited to wear the suit he wore for our senior prom, it has been collecting dust now for over 5 years. He was some sort of 70's disco, afro man,( you can't see the massive black afro wig in this pic) I was a nerd( I didn't have to try very hard) and Payson was a lady bug......she loved every minute of being dressed up!!






These are some pictures of our ward Halloween party. Nick was some sort of 70's disco guy, I was just a plain ol' nerd and Payson was a lady bug!!!

Happy Halloween





Alright so everybody has been telling me all about the hype of having a blog so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon and give it a shot!!! Please note that I am terrible with computers and will most likely have a very generic blog and if your lucky I might just figure out how to put some pictures on here!!!
So we had our annual Halloween bash and this year we hosted it!! It is always a fun event, TONS of food, fun and a night of being a referee to about 8 kids under the age of 4!!! We started the tradition last year and we've decided to carry on with it until everyone has a turn at the complete chaos!!! We have met so many wonderful friends from our ward since living out here in the boon docs as Nick and I refer to it!! Payson already has her little best friends that she plays with daily even a boy she just adores the heck out of and she's only 1......oh shoot me!!! It has been such a blessing to have met all of these wonderful people, we seriously are like family to each other.
