Melton Memories

Who knew that soccer could be so much fun?! I went over to my good friend Ann's house on Saturday to ride one of her horses July... (she tells me you have to say his name like this... Juuuly ) So when I arrived she had a treat for me, teaching me to play horse soccer! It was so much fun!! Here is a little clip me learning to play. I was so fascinated with how much the horse loved doing this!! We played for about 1 1/2 hours! :)

I've been tagged by the lovely Heather A. with the Honest Scrap Award and am supposed to share 10 random, honest things about myself. So here goes.... When I was little I used to eat all the filling out of the Oreos in my grandpa's secret cabinet then put the cookie back together, back in the bag and back in the cabinet for him to eat! This is really gross but I guess I am supposed to be honest so I will share that I used to turn my eyelids inside out cuz I thought it was funny.... I know you will never LOOK at me the same again! lol I actually really like Lima beans. I have that same one as Heather in that I love to read... I can sit in the same chair all day and read a good book! I love trucks!! My dream vehicle is a lifted Quad-cab Ford F-250 in black, guess I better get on that one before I have kids. :) I actually like it when people do my makeup, you know like when you go to a department store and they do your makeup for you in order to get you to buy something. It ...

Ok, so those of you who have been to our house know that we have a pretty small kitchen table, that being said..... How many Melton family members can you fit around it?!!! LOL (mind you some stepped out of the picture when I took it!) If you look closely there are 10 around the table!! What were they all doing you ask.... Playing Bananagrams our new favorite game!! Wayne and I play for hours sometimes!!

I just wanted to Thank everyone for the Birthday wishes! I woke up to it snowing, it was so beautiful. We decided to go down to town and see the movie Avatar... It was awesome!!! Wayne and I really enjoyed it and didn't even notice that it was a 3 hour movie! We then walked around town window shopping and had dinner at a very nice restaurant called Ken & Sue's (a birthday tradition). We had a great time and of course felt like our trip went way to fast. Do you ever look at a trip and think wow I have the next 8 days here and feel like that is such a long time, then when you have to go home you say wow that flew by it feels like we just got here... or am I the only one?! :) Here are a few photos from our trip. We went snowshoeing a couple of days... great exercise at high altitude! Wayne, Chloe & I snowshoeing along the Pine River. (Chloe has turned into a great snow dog, she loved going out for walks with Wayne every day) Me making a snowshoe angel The Pine River...

Today is the last day of work before the New Year, WooHoo! I am so excited to have off until the 4th, however I know that it is going to go by so fast! I really can not believe that it is the 23rd already! I feel like Christmas should still be weeks off..... We did go the Christmas program at church last night to get us more into the Christmas spirit, what a great performance!!! Well I am off to go deliver gifts to our clients ( I get to play Santa today) Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!!

Last week we met up with a friend for a photo session for our Christmas cards.... Here is a sneek peek of some of the photos! Brianna Anderson did our photos, so if you live in the Phoenix area I would highly recommend you try her! Not only does she do great photography but she is an absolute sweetheart to work with!!! Thank you Bri, you did a wonderful job! :)

Wow this year has flown by! I can't believe it is already Christmas time!! This year Wayne and I decided to put up an artificial tree (mostly because I really wanted to put one up the day after Thanksgiving and a real one would die) We decided to wait a little bit before decorating because we wanted to see how much damage Hemi our kitten would do to the tree since this is his first Christmas.... Well he left the tree alone until the ornaments went on! To date he has knocked off and broken / hidden about 15 ornaments! I thought I would out smart him and decided to lock him up in the spare room at night so he couldn't attack the tree while we slept... well that didn't go so well, he decided to get back at me and literally came running out of the room right into the tree!!! So... I went out and bought plastic ornaments to put around the bottom half of the tree and it has helped a little. I think that he is still obsessed with breaking the glass ones though (Wayne woke ...
