Family Pics 2011..

Tim has always been so sweet to humor me and take pictures. We hadn't had "family" pictures taken since we were first married so for Christmas I finally got some update pictures for mi casa. We work with one of the sweetest photographers in all the land. She is sooo talented and patient. I will tell ya'll a secret, trying to get a normal picture out of Tim and I is nearly impossible. Mostly because we feel so awkward taking pictures and bust up laughing every 3 seconds and the poses we come up with are quite the failures. Krista and her hubby David were INCREDIBLE to work with and I could not be happier with the results. If you want her info, holler at me you won't be disappointed. Here are a few of the ones we love.











And here are a few of the candid shots that Krista snagged while Tim and I were goofing off. Love them!








This one is Tim's brilliant idea. hahah

Tim was being a vampire. You know you're jealous of this. haha



We had such a blast working with her! I can hardly wait to update our picture frames. SCORE...

I stink at blogging.

Obviously it has been some time since I have last updated my blog. Maybe that's because I am lazy or maybe its because I don't have time.( were gonna go with the second option here folks) So let me just update you on whats been going down at the Reidhead house. In the last 7 months we have.

I am sure there are a million zillion things I left out but those were the ones I could remember off the top of my head. We've been running like crazy people and it keeps us on our toes.We are so grateful for families and for their love and support through our trials.

" We may not have it all together, but together we have it all." Love you family!

Love me some Sundays!

Sunday is easily my most favorite day of the week and I will tell you why..

1. I get to hold Tim's hand and listen to him sing in sacrament. ( He hates that I stop singing and look at him "funny" but his voice is one of the first things I fell in love with. How lucky am I that I get to sit next to my very own Michael Buble?)

2. I have the coolest calling ever! I was teaching with Tim and we taught the 7-8 year olds...Now that he has his new calling I was moved to a new class. I teach the 6-7 year olds in Primary. I have a GINORMOUS class and most of them love to be the center of attention. (loudest class EVER!!! ) My first 2 weeks really made me question if I was capable of teaching productively. I had convinced myself that I would not be able to handle that many kidos. I felt SOOO incapable and unworthy of such a great responsibility.

Let me tell you what though, I am so glad I have an amazing primary presidency that had a lot more faith in me than I did in myself. I LOVE my primary class. I can not wait to get in and teach them! I LOVE that my little girls find me before I get to the primary room. They ask to hold my hand or sit by me, they beg me to sit on my lap and cuddle in close when its cold in the primary room. ( Its the coldest room in the building, they even keep a stash of blankets for the kids). I LOVE that my little boys invite me to go watch them play soccer or come play basketball at their house. haha kids are the greatest. I am learning soo much from these little angles. I really love working with them!
3. Sunday naps. I am one lazy Susan when it comes to Sundays. I can make it through normal days without a nap but Sundays are something else. Half way through the day, I fall asleep wherever I am planted. Something is so wonderful about Sunday naps.

4. NO WORK! My job is pretty awesome but having a day with Tim not working basically rocks my socks. I love not having to do anything! Writing this I am sorta feeling like a Sunday Slob. hah don't judge! My house is a mess right now and I could probably be doing laundry but its Sunday... and therefore its cool if I don't worry about it.

Conclusion. ... SUNDAYS ARE THE BEST DAYS EVER!

Discovery

I went to the grocery store to buy mascara today. I walked around while I waited for the Saturday lines to die down a little. I normally try to grab a few cans of fruit, beans, or meat every time I go to walmart as a food storage add in. As I wandered the isles, I discovered this lovely tempting bottle of happiness.. and without thinking, it went into my cart.
When I got home I started putting things away. There it was just staring at me saying " I am worth the calories just go for it" Clearly I am easily tempted because I quickly remembered the delicious strawberries that had been screamin my name all day from the fridge. Tim started laughing when he saw that I was covering my strawberries in the heavenly goo..


And I am just now discovering that this glorious chocolate hazelnut heaven is the reason that my tummy hurts. I cant just eat one....Bad discovery.

In a nutshell

I have not posted in awhile, I do better writing things down in a personal journal but since I have recently decided to delete my facebook I will try to keep my few faithful readers up to date.... so in a nutshell...

In January my 22 year old Tim was called to be the Elders Quorum President in our ward. The night he was called, I laid in bed thinking to myself how funny life is. It is interesting to me how we are not in charge of our lives, only our decisions.The consequence of our decision is based on our ability to choose right and wrong.. If we are doing what we are asked to do and making good decisions, a higher source guides our lives step by step. Often taking our hands and placing us just where we should be. Tim constantly reminds me to do the things I am supposed to. ( Not that I need help with that people just sometimes I forget my tithing on the table or I may have left my primary book on the couch..twice.. don't judge me!) I could not go through this life with out him. I am just sure I would be lost. He amazes me.

February- Tim started his new job at infusion soft which is totally rockin his world. He LOVES it! I cant wait to ask him how work is going at the end of each day. He gets so excited to tell me about his day and what he has learned. I never hear a bad thing about it. They even give him breakfast every day.. WHAT THE HARRY! WHY DON'T I GET BREAKFAST!? Oh wait, that's because I am lazy and just don't want to get up to make it. We feel so blessed that he gets to have a job he loves...and free breakfast every day! YAY WOO HOO!

Nala got a haircut! Oh that little dog has me so wrapped around her finger...paw? Wait what? HAHA Seriously though , That little dog is my baby. She gets cute clothes.. and her hair all done up. ( that's what she gets for not having a baby in the house) but don't you worry your little heads friends... she loves it. I am pretty sure she loves it even more now that she is freezing all the time. Oh boo maybe I am just mean. BUT she really does bring a little umph into our house. We love that little fluffer!


BECAUSE NO POST CAN BE WITH OUT A PICTURE.. TAKE A LOOK AT NALAS SASSY NEW HAIR CUT! SOOO CUTE!

Welp, There really is a billion things more that happened in the middle of all this but like I stated at the beginning of this post.. this was a nutshell story! Hope you are all doing amazing!

Sweet temptation

Tim was recently suckered in to buying a few things from coworkers and families in the ward. I swear if you ever have a kid doing a fund raiser, go to Tim...he'll probably buy three of whatever you are selling. His recent buy..2 tubs of cookie dough! Oh sweet mercy Tim are you trying to make me fat!? How about the fact that its my favorite kind of cookie dough EVER.. I can hear my butt getting bigger every time I open the freezer for a bite of that sweet heaven!
My stars why must you be the only thing I crave all day long you blasted white chocolate cookie dough! You are torture on a day off!! I can't resist your charm and glorious taste!
So to all my friends.. don't judge me when I gain 10 pounds and look like a balloon..you'll know what its from!!

I love the Holidays! I wait all year for November to come around and say hello. I know I am a nut, dont judge me but I am constantly reminded of the awesome season every time I step foot out my door!! FINALLY GETTING COLD!! Ok Ok its not cold enough yet for one of these..but soon maybe!


November is the month of Thanksgiving( which I am sure you already know) cant wait to enjoy some fatty amount of food and fall asleep! Here are just a few things that I love about NOVEMBER!

1. FAMILY!! ...I LOVE spending time laughing and running around all the different theme parks like crazy people! I love watching my nieces and nephews soak up the magic of Disneyland! I love taking thousands of random pictures with my siblings doing awkward things while we wait in line! And I LOVE our weird family tradition to get old west pictures taken at Knotts Berry Farm on Thanksgiving day... We've done these silly pictures since before I was even born.


2. This man!! I know hes included in the family part.. but He deserves his own slot as well! Double Tim! I am the luckiest girl in the world! He puts up with all my crazy rantings about how we should decorate for Christmas the day after Halloween. He even cleans up after me when I make banana bread! He sings me Michael Buble's "Everything" When we get ready for bed. Oh I could go on and on.. I am so blessed to have him in my life.. So grateful to spend the holidays with the man that stole my heart! Hes so hot!

3. PIE!! It is the only time all year I am not judged for eating large amounts of apple pie! Oh heavens throw some whip cream on it and I am one happy camper.. We spend thanksgiving in Knotts Berry farm and let me tell you a little somethin somethin.. they have more kinds of pie than you can ever imagine.. yes be jealous!
Just looking at this apple piece of heaven makes my mouth water! HOOORAH!!


4. Weather! I love that the weather is cooling off. I wish we had more proof of the seasons changing...but I will gladly accept the fact I can open my windows at night.. all the proof I need is my very low electricity bill( no ac means low bills!! yay!)


5.CANDLES!!! There is something that screams fall and its the smell of my Christmas candles.. laugh at me you might.. but I light those things in November. Tim wont let me decorate quite yet so I get the Christmas spirit by lighting candles!



6. Christmas music! Anyone who knows me can tell you Im in love with Christmas music! It is my happy music! Tims been listening to it against his will and I think secretly he loves it!

Well I hope you all are doing wonderful and loving the holiday season! Stay Safe and be thankful!
