Aidez-moi, s'il vous plait!

Um I haven't had my hair done since July.... it's a little desperate at the moment I wear hats everyday. So sisters and mom (and anyone else with an opinion) Do you like any of these for me?

A shaggy bob? Or Posh's short short bob?

The longer bob, kind of what my hair was going for last time...


Our a blunt cut with sweeping bangs?Here's what it was in July, do I just clean up my awful hair to this? Does it even look like the posh longer bob?

Now you should know I want to grow my hair back out so I probably will cute it shorter one more time or start the growing now... Is fall/winter the wrong time for short hair? And... any color suggestion... I think I've worn the blond look out of style. Or is everyone in agreeance that I look better blond?

So again... HELP ME PLEASE

Flag Football!

Some guy in our ward had been bugging Nate to come be on his flag football team. It's Utah's intramural flag football team so its free and up at school. It was really fun to go watch... Nate was a star. Not to mention the other team were like freshman and sophomore frat boys.

Just starting.. (Kyler and Nate)
This was the first catch I got a picture of... it would have been better but the ref wouldn't move. Nate is the one on the left. There's a ball in his hands.
He was even rockin it as QB... 3 defenders and a perfect spiral to Kyler for the touchdown.


Diving for the ball


Getting ready to throw a bullet..... seriously that a number 1 ranked husband dad.


"Take Your Place"

For the past couple years my Mom has had callings in the Stake Relief Society in a BYU stake. The past year she's been the president. So when she had her back to school fireside (Take your place) my sisters and I went to hear. It was such a wonderful experience... I love my mom and she really is an amazing women. Amazing public speaker. It was so cool to see her in her own sphere away from home. She looked so beautiful and perfect from that podium. I love you
Mom, thanks for letting us come hear you!



The lovely women of the fireside



Linda Switzler (Secretary), Ruby Zabriskie (2nd Counselor), Pam Williams (President), Susan Savage (1st Counselor)



It safe to say my parents are BYU people these days... My dad is in a bishopric and my mom in relief society.. their Sunday's are long


Me, Kennan, Mom, Brooke, and Minie

The Symphony

Nate had big plans this weekend of "guy time". He was planning on golfing or playing cards all Friday night with his brother or friends so kind of "pawned me off" on his mom. She invited us to go to the season opening of the Utah Symphony. Nat quickly declined due to his plans but offered me up. Of course I love the symphony so I didn't really complain. It was Andre Watt's and he performed Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto. I wasn't familiar with it but I fell in love with the 2nd movement! So beautiful!

Jayson and Julianne both came, Jayson didn't mind going.

Julianne, Coleen, and Me. I just love an excuse to dress up and go out with or without Nate!


Jayson, Julianne, and Coleen. I love this sculpture in Abravanel Hall and what a great shot with the temple in the back!

Our Grill!

I think Nate has wanted a grill since we've been married... however buying one around Christmas was impossible then once Spring arrived it seemed pointless to spend the money when we wouldn't use it all summer. So first thing we purchased when we got back was a grill. Lucky for us it's the end of the season so we got a way discounted floor model (which means we didn't have to assemble it). We LOVE our grill. We use it 3 out of the 5 times we cook each week.



Nate "the griller". I don't know how to turn it on so therefore don't try. I like it better that way anyhow... all I have to do is prepare the food!


Who knew.... plain old hot dogs are AMAZING

Minie's Blessing

Minie's day wound up being horrible for me... We were lost and therefore late to church so I couldn't sit by my family.. I had to go back and teach primary at my ward, missing the after event... I am sorry Brooke. But she was so absolutely adorable and Dustin you gave a beautiful blessing.

I don't know if this is his daughter...


Cute sister, cute niece, and Dustin

Platinum Party

Saturday was the end of the year Platinum meetings/dinner/party. It started at 12 up at Canyons resort with the manager meeting, followed by an awards dinner, ending with a masquerade party.

Me and Nate at the awards dinner

Nate shaking hands and picking up his "150 club" award

Wahoo go Nate!

Nate's manager Jason Streiff his wife Missy and cute baby Madden. Jason will be a regional manager next year. He was in the top 5 reps it was cool they gave him a breitling watch.


Um someone in Nate's office came up with a cheer for their office to do. They called themselves "The Spartans" because they sold so many with so few guys so the Indianapolis Spartans cheer was performed for ever

For the masquerade, we took the little gondolas up to to the lodge. They had masks for everyone. So this is some ugly chick and Nate Dark

Happy Birthday MOM

I love my mom. Her birthday was the 7th so we went to eat at Tuscany! It was so lovely spending the evening with her. I am so glad she thought us suitable.



The lovely lady of the day

Brad had the lovely idea of going canoeing. I hopped on the idea and Tucker and Abe were more than happy to join.
However, they got sick of it fast. Tucker was a really good paddler but wanted to be on the tour boat so he could stand and Abe I think just wanted Pokemon's...

After we left, apparently Gwyn was very upset she didn't get to go, so Robyn and Bob wound up having to go for a paddle as well.

I know you're all sick of the Jackson posts but here's my version
