What a weekend!! ugh..

This last weekend was not the most fun! First of all we were hanging out with some friends and the topic of the flu came up and i said, " i cant remember the last time i got the flu." Guess what hit me that same night!!!?! i should have knocked on wood! i woke up at 1 in the morning and spent 2 hours in the bathroom with a good shower and trying to get my stomach to settle. this seriously is the worst feeling EVER!!! Upon entering back into our bedroom, Shane was still sound asleep without a clue of what was going on. In his sleep he started to sing to me, " Hello Hello, Hello Hello we welcome you tooodayy!" with a smile on his face. I am glad he can even get me to cheer up when he is sound asleep. it was hilarious! but part of me was like, "ohh shane if you only knew what just happened to me!" haha

This night reminded me of a night back when we first got married. Shane was dreaming of an Eagle attacking him. somehow, i became the Eagle as i was laying next to him sound asleep. he started pushing me of the bed and shoving me pretty hard so that i (the eagle) wouldnt attack him. I woke up just furious and started yelling.."Shane STOPP!! what the heck are you doing!" he then responded as he was still somehow asleep, "the eagles are attacking me!! " oh the joys of sharing a bed! Shane is one hilarious person to sleep with. He is always talking in his sleep!

As for me and the icky flu, I am feeling a lot better now. lets hope it stays that way! I am also now taking accutane to get rid of the dreaded acne! yahooo...i hear it isnt the most fun at the beginning but cant wait for this medicine to work so i can be acne free! I never really had acne growing up and now it decides to come! so wierd to all of a sudden have bad acne at age 23. thank goodness for medicine though.

Partying until 2012!

 Isnt Shane the Best looking man you have EVER seen? haha i just love him and still look at him and get butterflies! i love it..

 Its official! patti is now a Hatch. we got to go to their reception and they sure are a beautiful couple! congrats to you guys and welcome to the family!

 I love these people! this is shane's aunt and her grandchildren :) it was fun getting to see them. the little baby is the best baby ever. he never cries, he just sits on your lap and cuddles with you.

 Shane and i went to Canada. it was my first time using my passport. The parts of canada that i saw look just the same as the US. The only differences i saw was were the speed limit signs measured in kilometers and the money is different. we got to go to the Vancouver Temple and do a session. it is a pretty temple and we got to do sealings with shane's Grandpa as well. what a special temple trip!

 At one of the family gatherings, shane and mike disappeared. i went looking for them and they had disappeared in the other room and were playing Yahtzee together! smart boys..haha. Mike is going to Dental school in Vegas and so shane and i will live by mike and mica! we are very excited to live by family.

 MINUTE TO WIN IT! mica is so cute and put together a minute to win it game for us on new years eve. the Girls kicked butt too! this was a pretty hard challenge of stacking apples. no one could do it!

 Shane failed at the apple stacking challenge too

  This was a funny one. you had to balance the tooth brushes on the hat and carry them across the table. Carolyn won!!

 The whole fam is partying till 2012!

 Nana is quiet the partier! she was nonstop all night long! i just love her. she was pretty good at the games we were playing, nothing stops this women!

 The boys finally did the five apple stack challenge. We all cheered so loud when they did it. afterwards i looked at the apples and they had cheated. they bit an apple so it would stack better!! oh boys!

The happy newly weds!

Merry Christmas!

This was my first Haas family Christmas and first Christmas away from home! it was actually a lot of fun and it was fun to see how other families celebrate. Here i am in my Christmas Dress all ready for Church! I was a bridesmaid in my good friend's wedding and i just love the dress that i wore! it is perfect for a cute Christmas dress!

 Shane was like a little kid on Christmas! he just loves his stocking! haha

 I got to borrow Tyler Haas' stocking since he wasnt there.

 Here is the Babe and me all ready for some present opening!!

 I feel that it is soo important to read the Christmas story on Christmas and take some time to reflect and show grattitude for Christ's Birth! this really is such a blessing and we need to remember the reason for the season!

Christmas day the whole Hatch Family gets together for a yummy Christmas Dinner! it is always a lot of fun to be around all of Shane's Family! they are such amazing people and make us feel so special when we come! His nana and papa are my favorite! they are the most amazing couple! i hope that one day shane and i can be just like them. they are the most loving, happy, uplifting, and christlike couple that i have EVER met!
