A Tree Grows in Brooklyn


Not the best quality picture... but I finished this book over the break.  Thanks, Sister, for a good read!

Games

We played a lot of Ticket to Ride while Evan was here :) Love this game!

Can I Just Say...

that now I am all caught up.  That 3 week break was seriously the best, and very much needed.  I loved spending time being with Ryan, painting, and being with family.  We did a few other things over the break like hang out with our friend Evan from the Navy.  We went up to the shooting range with him.  I surprisingly enjoyed it, although I really never want to shoot anything bigger than a .22.  One time I shot a 45 and it was insane... I did NOT like that.  In fact, yesterday, I even won a bet so it made it all the more worth it.  Evan comes up to me and he's like, "Jess. If you can hit 5/6 shots on the black target, I will get you a pack of polaroid film." We shook hands, and sure enough, I did it! Barely. We will miss him.  He's back in Mississippi now flying jets. School starts tomorrow! Here's to another semester of nursing school! I will now be in pharmacology, med-surg, and psychiatry.

Donkey Kong!

I'm almost done with my Nintendo Mario Kart Series of art work.  This one is the most recent.

Snowbasin!

Ryan and I went skiing for the first time ever together the other day.  I showed him the slopes at my favorite place! It couldn't have been possible without my friend Alex hooking us up with sweet half off passes. It's good to get out there again.  There's been a lot of snow! It was so funny watching Ryan pull together all this ghetto stuff to wear and ride on... I called his snowboard the chalkboard! It looked exactly like a chalk board, and is about a foot too short for him, but he used it anyway. hahhahah. It was a blast!

Christmas Day


Ryan always gets so excited Christmas morning!


 Thomas even got a present to open! He loves his new hamster friend.





 The tradition continues!



 I love Ava Mava


 Gets better and bigger every year!








 All the Spongebob chapstick I could ever dream of!
 Ava was so excited to have the biggest present under the tree.






Christmas Sweater Party

I won this contest a few years ago... but not this year.






 We also had an auction.  It was kind of like the Price is Right.  I won 4 TIMES!!! I won the weirdest stuff... hahahahah. These parties are great! It was so fun to see friends again.


This kid won.  And he won this wooden fish.

A present for William & Brooke.

I'm painting a whole Disney Series for them.

Oakridge Christmas Brunch




 Our family
 We love seeing our best friends there! Jono and his CUTE baby boy William! They just don't get much cuter than that. His socks even match his sweater! 
 We just love this little boy.  Whenever we go over to their house, the first thing Ryan says is, "Where's my favorite person in this family?" and goes to find William. hahahahah


 It is SO funny to us when William does that with his eyebrows!
