Last Saturday my sister and I went to a hockey game with a couple friends. I haven't been to one in years and I forgot how much fun they are. The game was a bit of a disappointment since the Coyotes lost to the L.A. Kings 4 to 0 (sorry to keep opening up that wound Pam). It still was a lot of fun to be there with my sister and Kym and Pam. Like any good hockey game we did get to see one good fight on the ice so it was well worth it. What would a hockey game be without at least one throw down?! It was a fun night out.
The start of what led to be a totally pathetic game.
I sure could use a camera with a better zoom. This is as close as I could get. Not bad though.
The girls. Jenn, me, Kym (in the back), and Pam. What a blast I have with them.
Me, Kym and Pam outside the stadium.
Jenn, Kym, and Pam outside the stadium. I had a blast with you girls!!!
Definitely still a jeans girl, it's pretty much all I wear except on Sundays of course. My taste in jewelry is a bit different though. I am more a silver or white gold fan these days.
I do still love Target. Always have, always will. I love going to the theater too. Not as into the drawing and arts stuff as I once was but I love love love cloudy days. They make most people gloomy and down but cloudy days make me happy!
The best results part of this all still apply. Haven't changed there. The biggest change in all this is that I certainly do NOT hate beef anymore. I didn't really remember until I saw this that I did go through a time where I didn't really like beef. Sooooo not the case anymore. I could always go for a big, juicy, rare ribeye steak. I love cows!!!
The funniest thing happened. We went to Circle K to get drinks and Jay and the kids waited in the car while I went in. Zoey saw the word Coors on the wall outside and asked Jay what it was. He told her what the word was and that it is a kind of beer. Zoey said that she liked beer. Jay explained to her how we don't drink beer. Zoey told him she really wanted some beer. Jay went on to explain that Heavenly Father asks us to not drink beer, that it is not good for our bodies. When I got back to the car Zoey was in tears and I asked her why. "Daddy said I can't have beer!", she said with tears streaming down her face. I also tried to explain to her about how and why we don't drink beer but she wouldn't listen. She spent the next 10 minutes on the way to Aunt Jenn's house crying because we wouldn't let her have beer. Jay and I were dying. It was one of the funniest things ever. 
A little blurry but I was trying to get a side view while she was still swinging. I wish I could fall asleep so easy.
I had to take the chance to wish my mom a very happy 60th birthday. Stephanie chose not to mention her age but I do because I know it isn't a big deal. I know that my mom is proud of her age and she knows she has earned every minute of it (and every gray hair which is surprisingly not that many). You may be 60 mom but you sure don't look it to me. I hope my mom knows how great she is. I think 2 of my favorite things about her are that her kids are ALWAYS a priority, and she is a REALLY good grandma. My mom always looks after us kids even though we are grown. She has always been aware as possible of our needs and has always tried to help any of us out when needed. No matter her position in life, her children have always come first and she has always made sure to help out in whatever ways she can. 
My mom is a fabulous grandma too. She has been lucky enough to have had a pretty big part in many years of most of her grandkid's lives. She is so good about making time for them and making the effort to visit those that are farther away when she has the time and money. She spoils them. She lets them get away with things that we would have never gotten away with when we were young. She buys them treats. She lets them jump on the bed and play on the furniture. She lets them do all the fun things that many kids can't get away with in their own homes. She spoils them all rotten just like a grandma should! She often has great patience, even with my crazy kids. She just loves all her grandkids and anyone who knows her should know that and be able to see it in her. Her grandkids love her and she loves them. My mom is a great mom and a wonderful grandma. Thanks for all you have done for me and my family mom. We would be homeless without you right now! :) We love you!
The girls had a fun time playing some cards together. I love hanging out and playing games. 
Jay at his usual spot of course. Ringing in the new year doing his favorite thing. 
Dad was in his usual spot doing his puzzle book like always. I am sure he enjoyed that all the females were being noisy in the kitchen by themselves.
This is Noah at 12:35. He certainly partied hard like the rest of us. I couldn't believe he was still awake. It amazes me how late this boy can stay up.
