Thanksgiving at Grandma Lynada's house.

We had a great Thanksgiving this year... as we always do! This year we went with Preston's family. We all gathered at Grandma Lynada's house. The food was fantastic, the company was awesome and the nap after... even better! Preston and I have had a great year. We've had stressful times (thank you pharmacy school stuff) but over all, we have been very very VERY blessed. I am most grateful for our jobs right now. Both of our companies went through lots of lay-off's and Preston and I managed to stay employed. We have amazing families who we love more than anything, we have fantastic friends who we have a blast with whenever we see any of them. Most of all, we're grateful to Heavenly Father, we know without him, life wouldn't be anything. He blesses us so much. As I sit here typing away as it's 13 degrees outside, I have my comfy slippers on, my warm clothes, my washer and dryer running, the heater on, our christmas lights glittering our apartment and I am comfortable, safe and warm and we have so many comforts of life. We have so much to be grateful for. I know this time of year is when we really reflect what we have to be grateful for... I try to do it all year long but it's true, this time of year really brings it out in everybody. I'm grateful for Preston who works and studies LONG long hours... for me... for us! He's amazing and I don't know how he does it. I sure do love him! I can go on and on, but I'll bring you pictures. Since I know that is what everybody comes on here for anyway.






The day after Thanksgiving was the big game... UTAH vs byu... I wont get into any details because I'm not too happy about the game. Anywho, I just wanted to show the "presidential hogi" my dad made for the game. This sucker is HUGE. Also, a cute picture of Lili and Cadence.

Couldn't pass this one up.

I know this will make two posts in a row with nothing on us and random videos. But when I saw this video, I got teary eyed and couldn't pass it up. This kind of stuff totally melts my heart. So sweet!!

WOW

ENJOY!

Fall= Birthdays and Hockey!

Preston's birthday was a blast. As I said in my previous post, I took him to the Hilton this past weekend for a little "getaway" It was just something fun and different. Before we got to the hotel, we drove around in the avenues and ended up in SL cemetery. As some of you may know... I have such an interest in cemetery's. I don't know what it is, but I love them! They're so interesting... seeing how old some of the graves are and especially up at the SL cemetery, there are TONS of prophets and apostles. Guess whose we came across? The Hinckleys... Wow! Super cool to see it. I was so excited to see President Hinckley's grave next to his sweet little wife! We saw like 5 other of the prophets and quite a few of apostles from back in the day.

Some pictures of Preston's birthday at both of our parents!
It's Preston's mom's birthday 2 days before Prestons so we got to celebrate with mom also!
A typical Sunday afternoon at my parents. Toys everywhere, football on, crazy people and of course.. being lazy!
Cute mom and dad Rhoades!
I wuv him!

She stole his phone AND the remote.. no wonder she likes him!

Huh?!

Alright, something I'm pretty proud of! I made my first official sewing project. This cute little dress for my cute little niece. It looks adorable on her! My mother in law is awesome at sewing and can literally make anything that involves fabric! She was my teacher... she's a great one!

Ta Da!

Most of you will know that Hockey is a BIG thing in the Vielstich family. BIG! I was born into Hockey and married into Football so I really like both sports and lots of you might thing I'm more of a football fan because I'm married to one a football player and because it's on all the time in our household unless I can catch the Hockey game that is on TV. We LOVE hockey! My brother has been playing for like 7 or 8 years now? I'm not sure. But now he's playing highschool Hockey... for the Colts. He is pretty dang good out on the ice and to make it even more cooler, his number is 99... our mini Gretsky!
Go VIELSTICH!
He's down on the end.
Faceoff champ!

Until next time...!
