Tis' the Season!

Well as you all may already know. We had a fabulous time in Vegas where we shared some great memories and spent great time with lots of family! We were very fortunate to meet a great family where we stayed. A very special friend of my mom's. Sandi has great boys that will leave a tender spot in my heart forever. They were a joy to meet and get to know. I can't wait for our next visit to see them! Of course to go see my mom as well! We miss grandma Sita!
Well we are off to the start of the season with some BLESSED Snow! We received our first snow fall this year last week and it seemed to have melted faster than I expected. But it didn't stay away too long. We had to make sure we really took advantage of the great FLUFF this time around. We all had way too much fun and Desi loved every minute of it! We haven't played in the snow for years. It did good for our young spirits! We hope we have a chance to get a christmas card sent out this year! If I don't get a chance to do that! MERRY CHRISTMAS! to you all and from our family to yours, may you carry the spirit of Christ with you this season.
Hugs all around!

Watch OUT Vegas.. here we come!

Well it is getting to be the busiest time of the year and I am slowly getting my little holiday spirit ready! I absolutely love the holidays! As I have expressed before nothing is more important to me than spending time with my family. We are excited for our trip to Viva Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. I get a great chance to go and visit my dear sweet grammy that I love and miss so much. I am so excited to go and see her. And I feel so previledged because my mom has moved there as well and I can't wait to see her! She moved not too long ago, but long enough! I miss her as well. I get a double treat this Turkey day! I normally fight the guilty feelings if we travel and only get to see one side of the family for the holiday. But this year will be so nice. I can't wait to get away as well. This summer wasn't too eventful for us. We kept busy for sure! Speaking of being busy! We FINALLY finished (well most of) of our Basement!!! I am no longer stuck all day in the Dungeon, listening to my dryer dry my clothes while on the phone with customers. (sooo unproffessional!) It is soo much more comfortable to have carpet under my feet and pretty walls to look at! Thanks to Nate's awesome painting! It has been a fun bond to be painting and keeping Nate company as he struggled to piece together our basetrim and learn to use "real" tools! I am so used to seeing a pencil in his hand that seeing something that is sharp, moves 100 mph and is bigger than his head frightened me :) just kidding! He did great! We took on a few different projects all within the last week. I finally borrowed my brothers sander and finished a shelf I have owned since I was a young and it has now found a cozy spot in Desi's room holding all her books. We also measured out plywood and laid a flooring in our attic! It isn't a huge attic, but hey! it was amazing how much we are able to store up there. Which has aloud us to unclutter our house and actually breathable! Anyway... we got our Spring Fever a little late this year and it feels so good to get things done! I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! This little Feller Family Loves you All!

HaPpy HaLloWeEn!!!

This year was the first year that we actually took Desi trick or treatin' house to house. She LOVED it! she would get upset if we skipped a house because they were not home. We have done a safe trick or treat and trunk or treat and pretty much visited grandparents. This year Desi really learned what Halloween is and what it is all about. She has been so excited. She picked to be a witch this year. After some convincing that she wears a princess dress up dress every other day of the year that the Witch dress was new and fun! She loved it! She got to dress up for her a halloween party at school and I just couldn't get her dressed fast enough. She was so excited, she was running back and forth from each room yelling with excitement! whew! I forgot what it was like to be a kid and involved. So Nate and I joined the fun! Which was the best part of it all. It isn't that Nat really dressed up completely... but this is the first year I have gotten him into the Halloween spirit. Which made it that much more fun!

Let me introduce you to my brother.. Adam

Adam is a character! He always enlightens a room with his laugh. He has a way of just making people laugh. And not just laugh he he, I mean laugh out loud HA! HA! He is so loving and accepting of not just family but any friend. He is so good with kids and extremely playful. He is the type of person to get on all fours and give the kids a horse ride or take the time to sit and listen closely to a story they are telling him. I absolutely adore my brother. He is one of the 3 great brothers I have.




Now there is a part of my brother that I just don't quite comprehend... He is so accident PRONE. For years, we all wish we could lock him in a room to make sure he was safe. However, he brings his own hurt on himself. Every since he was young he would create a jump and from his bike, scrap and bruise himself until he would master it with the rest of the neighborhood kids. However, as he has gotten older, the feeling of his heart settling in his throat just doesn't seem to satisfy him. He went from rollerblades, to bmx bikes, to motorcross races to what I consider a nightmare! He has wrecked... got a sweet deal from his insurance policy... went and bought himself a new bike... and he's at it again.. HEY! HE LOOKS GOOD.. right!? (umm not really) What do you do?

Long Lost Friends

October Already???

It has been awhile.. sorry. I don't have any good excuses like I've been too busy or anything. I have simply been contemplating on what to blog about. I need to be better at taking pictures that is for sure.
Lately, we have just been at the same routine day after day. I'm sure you know how it goes. Wake up go to work, eat dinner, clean house and go to bed. I am definitely ready for a break!
I can't believe it is already October! Wow this year has flown by!
We went and bought a small pumpkin for Desi and HOLY COW! she loved it! she was carrying this pumpkin around everywhere. She called it her "baby". She was wrapping it in blankets, giving it a bath in the bathroom sink and pretend feeding it. There was even a day taking her to Nate's sisters (where she gets watched during the day)she had to bring her "baby" with her. I tried talking her into getting one of her dolls and taking it along with her, but with no such luck. So off with went with the pumpkin in hand. Sadly, to say a few days later I went to go pick up the pumpkin from the top stump and it Broke Off! I felt so bad! I had to figure out a way to keep it from Desi, so she wouldn't be upset. Thoughts ran my mind like "Where's the super glue?" and "Where can I hide it?" For the time being, I just set it up high on our entertainment center and carefully set the stump on top of the pumpkin in place. Luckily, Desi hasn't even mentioned it and I am surprised she hasn't even asked to play with it. We'll see how it goes when she finds out.

HILARIOUS!!!!

Geez.. I would still consider myself a new mom! And this is sooooo me!!
Enjoy! I got a great laugh!



Love ya all!

7gypsies in detail..(upon request)

I love my job!! I simply contact store owners scrapbooking, craft, hobby and a variety of different designers to sell 7gypsies.
7gypsies has a variety of items from paper, stickers, naked albums to embellishments to gypsy trinkets from the gypsy van. Way cute items to paper craft, scrapbook, card making, oh geez.. you name it.. just about anything! Actually I have seen some very creative and fun things made from these items. But I absolutely love getting to know each customer and assisting them as they decide on the product that is best for them and the growth of their business. I have become very close with a lot of my customers and look forward to building relationships with them. 7gypsies is definitely not your ordinary supplier. I say.. OUT with the cutesie stuff and IN with the new vintage look, it is empowering the market and is so much more classy looking! Take a look for yourself..

Eventful evening

Too Much Fun!

We were looking forward to a 3 day weekend for Labor Day.  And didn't want to travel anywhere.  We decided to hang around and find some cheap, local entertainment.  So it doesn't get any cheaper than entertaining yourself.

So that is what we did.  We were excited to spend an evening with John, Kim and little Reece (holy cow...he's getting so big!).  We went and picked up a bucket of chicken from KFC and headed to the American Fork amplatheater. 

This has been one of my favorite places to go, since introduced to me for my senior pictures.  This has become one of my favorite places on earth!

I love it because it is the perfect view of Timpanogas Temple (It's even better inside!).  

The amplatheater is gorgeous with the red rock setting and it is soo green!  Huge trees to give shade and it sits perfect on a hill that gives the best view for a sunset.  Which is my personal favorite!

This is where Nate proposed and since then we have had a couple of picnics, we've taken Nate's family pictures and even my family pictures here.   Anyway...  we picked up some dinner and headed out.  We enjoyed an eventful meal trying to keep the kids on the blankets and spent the rest of the evening blowing HUGE bubbles, throwing frisby and teaching the kids cartwheels.  Between the sun going down and me in need of a new camara, I apologize in advance for the dark pictures.  This is the best kind of get-away!

I love CAMPING!

We had the joy of going up to Current Creek with Nate's siblings for a camp out!  I absolutely love Nate's family.  They are a joy to be around and they are truly examples to me.  Nate has the most beautiful nieces and the funniest nephews.  With never having a sister, joining Nate's family has blessed me with many. (7)  I can absolutely say, how blessed I am to have such great sisters!  Desi is our camping girl.. she is right in the dirt with all the boys and ready to hike with her baby in hand with all the girls.  She does very well "rough'n" it in the tent and besides getting burned by an ember from the fire :( ... she loves to sit by the fire and make s'mores.  By the way.. our new found favorite is to put Reeses peanut butter cups instead of plain Hershey's in our s'mores!  YUMMY!  We all took turns washing our hair from a bucket and enjoyed hobo and dutch oven meals.  Nate took a new learned recipe from my family of homemade root beer to share and I created a Mentos Geyser for a 2 second entertainment.  It was the best!  

Do me a favor... For fun!

Ok, this is all you have to do.

Days of our Lives

Desi Turned 3!

She had a week full of fun. Since her birthday fell on a weekday, we spent time taking her to The Aquarium.  She loved sticking her hand in the water to pet the stingrays.  They were slimy!  She then enjoyed spending a dinner date with grandpa "Papa" at McGraths Fish House.  And of course we involved all 30 of her cousins and then some to Hogle Zoo to see the White Alligator.  Being the only child thus far.. I would say she is a little spoiled.  She is FINALLY potty trained and she is not shy about letting others know how proud of it she is.  A little bribery with money did the trick!  She looked forward to those shiny coins and dollar bills to collect in her piggy bank, she caught on too quick that we had to lower her allowance.  But hey, we figured it was the money we were replacing for diapers.  For the most part she is a joy in all our lives and brings smiles to her family!

Park City Arts Festival

This was Nate's first "official" public appearance to sell his art. 

He is selling his prints through the Harley Shop.  Since the Salt Lake City owns the Park City Harley Clothing store.. it was very convenient for Nate to be right in the middle of the Arts Festival.  This was a great opportunity for him to get his name out there and especially see what he is up against.  Nate has his plate pretty full.  With working full time at Watson Pharm and teaching art classes at The Artist Corner, going to school at SLCC, drawing new bikes for the Harley Shop and especially spending time with us.  I am especially proud of him and grateful for all that he is and does.

CHICAGO

I have been working for a scrapbook company named 7gypsies.  I am a Sales rep and have the great joy and blessings of working from home.  My office has been put in the dungeon until our basement gets finished.  It's almost there and I can't wait!  Thanks to the help of my dad and brother!  7gypsies has been a blast to work for.  I used to work for them about 2 years ago and I must say I like it lots better this time around.  I love getting to know my customers and helping them grow their business'.  It has been so fun to meet some of them as I traveled to Chicago to a craft and hobby Show.   We spent a lot of time on our feet and I must say very exhausting, however, Well worth it!  I learned so much.  And the city is beautiful.. I can't wait to go back! The Chicago dogs are worth craving and the stuffed chicago pizza is nothing compared to Papa Murphy's.  It is so delicious!   For the most part.. we are enjoying our time with family!
