The Loves on my Life Come to Town!

Jordan does get a little jealous when Sydney and Gavin come to town. They do kinda consume my attention; let's be honest here. During their stay in Salt Lake, Jordan and I had so much fun visiting them at "Grandma and Grandpa who Check for Bats'" condo! Sydney and Gavin and I had so much fun in the pool--it was the best. They are just so cute. One funny thing Gavin likes to do is call people "doo doo head" and Sydney now likes to talk in a southern accent! It was so unpredictable and hilarious! Where does that come from? She's only 4!

While Michelle & Andrew were here, Jordan and I played extensive, competitive games of "The Dice Game." It's Jordan's new favorite! It was really fun. Jordan and I also had fun putting Sydney & Gavin to bed. It was especially funny one night when I put Sydney to bed, and all of hte sudden, she said, "Did you know that Grandma & Grandpa "who check for bats" have THREE houses?" And I said, "really?" And she said, "Yes." She said, "They have the CABINET, (it was too cute to correct her on this one!!) this house, and the.....house they live in!" I said, "where is the house they live in? Hawaii?" And she said "No." Haha... I finally convinced her that Fofa and Painho still live in Hawaii, yes. :) Then, in her Southern drawl, she asked me to blow dry the bed because she was cold, saying it like this: "Nu Nu, will you get the blow DRIIIIR, and blow DRII the bayed?" It was so funny, I was dying... :)
That night was their last night, and it was sooooo sad to see them go. I actually almost shed a few tears...I know, I'm turning into the "manteiga derretida" that Fofa is!! (melted butter--and expression in Brazil that is equivalent to a "boob--cry baby") But then, guess what... the next day, while they were driving home, Andrew called, and Sydney had been "bawling" because she was sad to leave "Nu Nu and Mon" (that's Jordan and me, btw.). I talked to her, and it was so sad!! They keep telling us we need to move there...if only....




Holiday Party...in February, actually!

On February 7th we had a work party at the Larry H. Miller movie theater complex by my house, called "The District." We had a really nice buffet lunch and afterward we had games and prize drawings. I have to say that I wasn't on the "fastest" team ever :) But it was still fun! The main lowlight although, was the fact that about 1/3 of the people there won prizes!! Including big screen TVs and gift cards, and I got NOTHING! I am so unlucky... OH WELL.

It was still fun... Here (above) I am with my work friends, Judd, Camilla, and Chris, with me. And to the right, are my friends, Wendy and Michael. They just got engaged, so that is really exciting! All in all it was the best Holiday party we have had at my company, actually.
