Happy New Year!!!

It has been a very crazy few weeks, and I am just now updating our blog.

We are in sunny, awesome Arizona celebrating the new year, and it is currently about 80 degrees!!!! We are going to sit by the pool in a little bit, life couldn't be better.

I posted some pictures from the last couple weeks and will update soon when we return from Arizona next week.

I haven't posted many pictures from BC Finishing, LLC but plan to soon also. Brett has been staying very busy with projects. Some of the things he has been working on include:

UCCU Credit Unions

Tuscani's restaurant

Oquirrh Temple

a new development in Deer Valley

and a few others.

He has also been finishing our pool table, which I will post pictures of soon also. I think we have pictures of some of these projects including the Paradise Bakery in American Fork

On Christmas eve my mom always has a HUGE party with all the Fox's and Finlinson's and there is only one way to describe it: CHAOS!! We always have so much fun there, the food is great, the gifts are great, and the company is even better

Ski/Snowboarding Trip

Whew, where to begin. I have so many pictures to post from the holidays, so here we go. Last Saturday, Me, Shalice, Tyson, and Brady went to Sundance to ski (Brady and Tyson were snowboarding). We got everything ready the night before, and took off.

Well, I wore my mom's 20+ year old ski boots because mine were too tight, and they ended up KILLING my feet! After a run down the mountain with our skis, me and Shalice went and rented a snowboard, something we haven't ever tried... and we loved it!!! Now we can't wait to go again.

Oh, and some weasel stole my ski poles!!!

This is Shalice before we traded our skis for snowboards

On our way to trade
Brady and Tyson

This is what we looked like on our first trip down the mountain with the snowboard, then it got better

Oh, and we saw Robert Redford... and he cut in line (who does he think he is????)

Vegas and such

Last weekend we went to Las Vegas for the NFR. We haven't been to the finals for a few years, and really wanted to go this year. We got really cheap rooms and had so much fun. Its always nice to get away

This is us at the hotel by the Chrismas tree. (I wish my tree looked that good)

At Breakfast Friday

We went to the trade show and found this really cool recliner swing. We didn't have the $1000 they wanted for it or I would have bought it!

I college rodeod with Nichole Kamanski, who had this booth there. She does all the artwork herself and I was very impressed. She used to always tell me she wanted to paint my horse (Lindy), and I kinda blew her off.... now I can't afford her!!!

Some more of her stuff

Now relax.... its "art"
We're just enjoying it!!!

This is my tree at my house... nothing like my sister Becky's, or my aunt Marcie's. But its my first year with actual ornaments... well at least a few.

Bryan hanging out

This is my new (well new to me... thanks KSL.com) treadmill. Although you can't tell, we have been using it a lot. If anyone ever comes to my house and I have something hanging on it... shoot me!!! (and don't look at the very dirty window in the background)

And finally, us at the Jazz game, and the actually won that night!!! Go Jazz, and thanks to mom and Fred for always hooking us up with great tickets!!

Well that's what we have been up to lately
