It's about time for an update!

To celebrate our 4 year anniversary, Clayton and I went to the Melting Pot.  We love that place, the desert is the best part of the whole meal !

I can't leave Clayton alone cause he will go out and buy a SNUGGIE! He actually likes it and wears it around the house..... I just can't believe that he bought one!!!

Last but not least, my brother and his wife had a baby a week ago.  It's so exciting to have a new nephew (Ethan), I know he's my nephew.... but he's so cute!!

Clayton's Birthday

Last week was Clayton's birthday and he just wanted to take it slow after all the rush from the holidays.  So we just went to Flemings for dinner and to make his birthday better ... we sat next to Carlos Boozer from the Jazz!  

We also went out to dinner with his family to celebrate his and Jeff's birthdays.  

Of course, we had to go to Chuck-a-rama for one of his birthday dinners.  Clayon loves that place and we made a deal that we have to go there for his birthday every year. 

The Holidays

Clayton and I try to split our time during the holidays between our families.  We usually spend Christmas eve with my family and Christmas day with his.  This is us at my brother's house for Christmas eve this year.  

My very cute nephew Daniel and my sister Jenny.  I don't think I've ever heard him cry!

Clayton was showing off his skills on rock band.  He looks so serious when he plays!

We got to spend the turn of the year at our friend's house.  

We spent New Year's day at my sister's house.  As a tradition in my family, we always have japanese food.  It's always a lot of work to make it all but it's always worth it when it's time to eat!

My brother Alex and Steve boxing on the Wii.  You always laugh at other people when they are playing it but when it's your turn... you end up looking just as dumb! haha

Jenny and Jon just got the cutest chocolate lab puppy. We just wanted to take it home with us!

Just another day in the life of Clayton and Sarah!

Yesterday I asked Clayton if he wanted to drive around the mountains to take some pictures for our Christmas card. Clayton said that Bountiful has some really nice places to take pictures and since we were going to dinner at his parent's house up there, it would just be on the way. We got to Bountiful and I wasn't sure why Clayton was just driving around some neighborhoods there and I said "Clayton, are you planning on taking pictures in front of a stranger's house? Cause I was thinking more of taking pictures somewhere you can't see houses next door!" and Clayton started laughing because he said that he didn't know what I meant when I said mountains and he thought that this would work! hahaha The pictures turned out okay, but I guess I should be more specific next time!

On December 4th, marked 12 years since my family and I moved here from Brazil. I can't believe it's been so long! So I called my sisters and my mom to see if they wanted to go out to "celebrate" and it was an excuse to go to out for ice cream! I wish I had found a picture of us when we moved here.

Thanksgiving

We had a really nice really holiday. We were in charge of bringing and appetizer and the stuffing for the family dinner and since this year was the first year that my family assigned me something to bring that needed to be made instead of bought at the store ... I couldn't mess this up! We did pretty well and everyone loved Clayton's stuffing!
