Exciting News!

I forgot to put this on here before, but I wanted to make sure Brandon got the credit for making this video for us! Thank you so much! We love it!

National Nothing Day!!!

So I got to work this morning and turned on my computer to find out that today is National Nothing Day!!! Who knew this sort of day even existed! But I did a little research on it to make sure it was a more or less a real holiday! Apparently it was created by a newspaper man, Harold Pullman Coffin in 1973. It is a day that is supposed to provide Americans with one day where we can just sit with out celebrating, observing or honoring anything! As much as I love celebrating holidays what a great day to give us an excuse to be a little lazier than normal! Unfortunately for me I still have to work as my job isn't excused for this bizarre day! But while I am here I guess I will try to not work as hard as I have the rest of the week! Really we should be having one of these days at least once a month! Although if you really think about it, anyday that is not a holiday could really be considered National Nothing Day! However as today is the official non observance of this national day I ask that each of you take some time today to just sit and do absolutley nothing!

Merry Christmas!!! & Happy New Year!!!

We had such a great Christmas this year! Now as I was putting this post together I realized I did not have any pics of my mom or Tina!! I am so sorry! I still love you both! But I am starting out with Christmas Eve. We went over to my parents to play with the nephews and watch Naploeon Dynamite! It's not Christmas without Napoleon!

Me, Walt and Traci

Sorry is Boyce's fav game to play when coming over to Grandma and Grandpa Fraidenburgs!!! He ALWAYS wins!

Luke and Boyce

Dad and Trey

Ok so this is the only picture I took on Christmas Day!!! We went over to Luke's parents and had a great time opening presents and talking to Jeremy! Thanks for letting me take your pic Dari! Last year I took almost 100 pics Christmas morning, for some reason this Christmas I wasn't so into taking any pictures! Oh well it was still so great!

Grace and fam came over the day after Christmas to open presents with the whole fam! Yay so glad the Ereksons could make it! :)

Clark is growing way too fast! I definately do not get to see them enough!

Mel and Cassandra! Aren't they the prettiest sisters you have ever seen?

We are all grown up!

Wow John you must be Army Strong!

We had such a great Christmas with both families!!! We hope everyone else had a great Christmas as well! I didn't take any pictures on New Years Eve, but we hung out with Skip and Sharay and had a blast playing the wii and eating food! Now Luke and I play the wii all the time!!! Thank you everyone for being patient with me and my updating my blog skills! Hopefully this long blog sorta kinda makes up for it!

Friends!

Ok so we had a dinner with the Staley's almost 2 months ago. But I took these pics just to put up on my blog! So hopefully it is not too late! We had such a great time! We had not been able to see any of our friends for awhile so to be able to get together with them was so great! Thanks for coming over you guys and bringing the food!

Luke and Kyle sure do have a lot in common! So great they could share this one thing they have in common together!
Shawna, Dax and I were having a great time watching Cars all snuggled up on the love sac!

Merry Christmas!!!

Ok so I know it's been way too long since I have updated my blog! I have so many posts I want to do but have not had any time! So I just wanted to post a special Christmas message and let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about my little blog!

I'm not very good at just writing on my blog, I don't know that I have ever really done it before! But I thought since I have been such a slacker I would just write about a few things that we have been up to this wonderful Christmas Season. I have been crazy trying to get my finals done and stressed about passing my classes! And I am happy to say that I have successfully completed my Associates! It only took 5 years, but hey better late then never right?? Luke has been busy just working away making sure we can pay the bills!

So I know it's a little late but for Thanksgiving we went up to Bear Lake with his fam and had a great time. I know it's a little late, but if you would like to see pictures please refer to Dari's blog! My family had a Pre-Thanksgiving dinner at our house and if you would like to see those pictures please refer to Cassandra's blog!

I got the pleasure of going to the MoTab Christmas concert last week! It was so great! Thanks Grandma Williams! Then that weekend Luke and I went to the John Schmidt Christmas concert, that was also great! Then on Sunday we went downtown to look at the lights with John and Tina and Cassandra and Seth! It was a great week full of ways to put me in the Christmas spirit! We did take pics at temple square, so I will get those posted on Sunday!

Anyway, things are going great in the Orton home! We hope you all have such a Merry Christmas! Thank you all for being such great friends to us!

Jackson Hole!

We went to Jackson Hole a few weekends ago for our anniversary trip! We had so much fun! I'd never been there before and Lukas went a long time ago! Unfortunately they were in their offseason when we went so only their shops were open! But we still enjoyed ourselves!
This is us at Dairy Queen! This only seems to taste good to me when I'm outside of Utah! Especially if I'm in Ronan, Montana!

Lukas taking pictures!

On the way home we stopped along the Snake River to take a few pics! The pics I'm posting are from my camera as they were easier to get to for me! Everything was so gorgeous though! We also stopped by the Tetons but Lukas also has those pictures. I may just post those at a later time!

Where's the Eiffel Tower????

New Old Car!!!!

I got my new car! Well new to me! It's a 99 Alero Oldsmobile! It is a fun little car to run around in! It wasn't so pretty looking when we got it, but Lukas buffed it all out and I cleaned out the inside! It looks and smells great now!!! :)
