~Christmas With The Phillips Family~

Christmas with our Phillips family was so much fun! We were able to play lots and lots of games, watch the Utes bowl game, play ping pong, eat lots of yummy food and treats, and just enjoy eachothers company! We had such a good time with everyone...lots of memories made and lots more to make! So many fun times! And good laughs!!! I think the best memory I will have is watching Dad and Mom open their present from their kids...they were so happy! And then to see Mom throw the money in the air...it was great! Christmas time is so great! Loved our time with the family...missed Ryan, Windy, Caitlin, and Brittany...Can't wait for May!!!

U of U vs. CSU...Go UTES!!!

My little brother plays for the University of Utah and we have been lucky enough to go to a game or two! He is so talented and I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishments! We were able to have some of my family out to our place to watch the CSU game...it was a good one and Joe did so great! It was also fun to spend time with my Brother Jared and his family. Good times! And some Great Memories!

GO JOE! GO #39!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Jeppy came to visit!!!!

So my dear friend and sister came to visit me this past month...it was so good seeing her and spending time! We had a lot of laughs! I just love her! We didn't get too many pictures...we forgot...

My Hair Station!!!

My sweet husband worked all day on Saturday to make this for me...we only have one bathroom so it was kinda crowded, usually on Sundays, when we are both trying to use the mirror and get ready...so he had this amazing idea and put it together! I love it and love having my own little area!

Championships...

In September I was able to go to the Dressage Championship with my boss Dee. It was so much fun. I was able to groom for her and spend the day with her. It was a really fun and learning experience. Can't wait for the horseshows to start next year!


Dee warming up on Wizard of Art...known as Merlin at the Barn

She took 4th out of her level...good job Dee!

These last three pics are just of random riders and their horses...absolutely loved the way the riders dressed and of course all the horses were so BEAUTIFUL!
