Why is it...

That boys can't tell when the house needs to be cleaned?  They make it dirty too.

It's about time....

I update our blog. Time went by way to fast! I don't have any pictures so I will try not to make this very wordy. Here is what we have been up too the last month or so in no particular order.

• Had a great Christmas

I may have missed a thing or two but you get the idea of how crazy the first of the year has been for us. I will be better about my blogging also.

I haven't posted in a while so here are some pictures of what we have been up to. First we spent Thanksgiving in Cancun with my family and had a GREAT time! once we got back it was time to celebrate the start of new decade for me! Not so excited about saying I am 30 but oh well at least I don't look it right? Matt took me to see the Body Worlds and then we met up with Callie and Greg for some shopping, dinner, and a movie. Matt didn't disappoint in my birthday present...he got me laser hair removal! I am so excited...I hate shaving. We also celebrated with friends later that week and they took us to a yummy dinner. Thanks girls I don't know where I would be without you! We have made christmas candy with my mom, Alli, and Shari and had a great time catching up. We have been to the Festivle of Trees, Thanksgiving Point to see the lights, Temple Square, Christmas Street, KKG Christmas parties and much more! Its a winter wonderland and I love it!

I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and I can't wait to see you most of you over the holiday break! Love the Mickelson -De Paula's

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I just wanted to whish you all a happy Thanksgiving!
I don't have kids to pick on for little photo shoots so Charlotte let me borrow her adorable little Reese. Isn't she cute! I couldn't resist not posting this picture

A little bit of History

My Grandma on her 89th Birthday & my Uncle Keith
The 1ooo lbs old family safe

Who knew I had some fun family history? A month ago on my grandma's 89th birthday she opened this old family safe. The safe had been locked up for decades because no one had the code. There was a bunch of business documents inside and it was really interesting to see. They dated back to the early 1900's. I had always heard stories about my family and some of the land marks in Heber they owned but this was a fun little hidden treasure. By the way Grandma...Happy Birthday!

BLACKOUT!

Jason, Charlotte, Me and Matt

On Thursday we went to the U football game all dressed in black. It was so cool to see the stadium full of people in black. The Utes where behind the entire game until the last 3 minutes when they scored a touchdown! It was such a fun game! GO UTES!!!

We had a great Halloween. Here are some pictures of us all dressed up.
