I've been wanting to post some "Christmas Fun in Utah" pictures but I can't find my camera...talk about lame! We haven't seen it for a while. I'm sure it's around here somewhere!? Hopefully it's around here somewhere. Until then...Cheerio! (is that the right spelling? I'm not talking about the cereal. hmm. oh well.) Just for the record: we DID have a marvelous time in Utah for the Holidays! Thank you fam!

Family and Friends,

Merry Christmas! We love you.

Mark and Lacey

Just how "wicked" was "WICKED?"

TOTALLY INSANELY WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not believe I forgot to post about this little date. This is what Marko gave me as an annualversary gift. We finally attended the long awaited musical.....and this is how I felt about it....

Life is one continual party.....

...if you are a Tew. Oh Booya! Life visiting the Tripp Family was grand. We tried to squeeze in as many Christmas adventures as possible. One adventure that we relived several times was having game night. Now that we have played Cities and Knights we are pretty much hooked. Check out this insano concentration on my face, seriously.
This deserves a shout out to the men folk for receiving the most creative, innovative, and structurally sound gingerbread houses of 2009. Check out the skills of my husband....putting fresh ground salt as snow on the roof? I mean, really, how does he come up with these things? And, you should have seen what pieces he started out with. It looked more like an outhouse on the actual box to use for a guide, but no outhouse here for Mr. Tew. Home of Santa and Mrs. Claus:
Adventure #497: Making Gingerbread men, women, baby men, baby women, stars, bells, etc. etc. I believe this was my first time making gingerbread cookies. Talk about delicious! Plus, I had the best assistant by my side throughout the process.
I must sneak this in the post....shh...I don't know how "sane" the husband thinks I am for doing this but we (the girls, of course) went on adventures to Target an average of probably every other day and bought many festive shirts on several different occasions :)

What brings in the Christmas spirit more than a Mexican Fiesta of fresh guacamole, rice, and enchiladas displayed strategically in the Mexican Flag arrangement????? Nothing! They knew what they were doing when they chose Christmas colors for that flag. Awwwwwww...here we are by the fancy Nancy setup. We broke out the real candles and everything. That was one tasty Christmastime din din.
Feliz Navidad, Amigos!!!

There was an infinite amount of parties and adventures in San Antone and who did we share the good times with???? These lovely folks....... (plus Austin) Thank you Trippers and let the good times roll!

This represents the continual party we are having with the cute nieces and adorable nephew!

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all

We had such a Happy Thanksgiving in Texas with our fam!!! We are enjoying a couple of weeks with them as Mark has training here. Yeeehaw! We have gone to Sea World for their holiday fest and are planning many other fun holiday things too.

Forgot to Blog About it!

Hi Folks! I forgot to blog about some other fun October stuff that we did. We participated in our first Kansas Corn Maze. It was pretty darn good. They also had a tepee made of corn, a corn pit for little kids to play in, teatherball and basketball courts, and much more! I convinced Mark to get on the blow up toys, one of my favorite things in the world. We had to take a pic on the GIANT chair. This little kid was on it and didn't want to get off so we told him to smile for the camera...enjoy. :)


I didn't get great pics, but here are some of when we visited Scott and Kels in Tucson. These are from our hike. We had to practice our yoga before we got going :) We had a great time with them!!!
