This show must go on. . .



So to much demand (Brittany) I will continue to blog. I created this with the intend of having something fun to do and to keep in touch with friends and Family, while I journaled about our life. Well I have never been a great journal keeper, so I guess I am a slacker blogger also. SO I really do want to be better for the sole purpose of letting my kids and future posterity see what I was like and what my life consisted of. (I hope blogger will be around that long) After reading These is My Words (A fake, but very real like journal) of Sarah Prine, I really wanted to be better, but have been failing at this goal. Now I know I am not traveling across the Territories and fighting of Indians, but I have my own Jack Elliot and we are kinda exciting (and funny at times) and we have a child that we want to teach and have great recorded events with. So I, Hailey Whitaker, SWEAR to be better!

So here goes some catch up. . .
The month of November(in a nut shell) consisted of. . .
The beginning of a mini remodel, a mini-model

The Before

A little of a 25th Birthday Celebration, with lots of GREAT friends and lunch (thank you), Shopping at good ole Target for TWO hours (thank you Britt and Jenny), a great dinner and Jasmine (thank you mom and Britt and Ruth, And Chris and Nicole, Parks LOVES flashlights now) and a fabulous shirt (thanks honey). We also had a delectable dinner at my parents home.


We also played in the dirt. . . well Parks did. . . dirt really isn't my thing.



I booked a Flight with my mother to Salt Lake City to go to our Celine Dion concert, that we bought tickets for in July. About eight hours later we got word from my Aunt (who was supposed to go also) that the concert was canceled due to Celine being ill. AHHHHH such disappointment!! She really could of lip synced and I would of never known, Oh well. SO she rescheduled for Feb. 22, a SUNDAY, IN SALT LAKE CITY!!! What? So we are now dubbing it the Celine Fireside. HMMMM.



And yes Jennifer and I went to a Midnight showing of Twilight





The After. . . I learned how to lay tile. . . It took a month (not my tile laying) with Jeramy only home about an hour a day.


November ended great, with lots of family and love for the Thanksgiving holiday. We are so grateful you all came. We love you. We ate and then ate, we bowed, we saw Twilight, shopped and ice skated and just enjoyed one another.





We rode the tram at Squaw.





The View from the rink.
The yummy tradition.

Hailey you are so cute-your blog always makes me smile. :)

You have had a busy month! I don't think I told you Happy Birthday-so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry its late.

I love the remodel-it looks amazing. Tom and I did the tile in our last house, and it is hard work! I can appreciate what you went through. I think you need to come to my house and give me some decorating tips.

Ummm, I thought that I read a blog a while ago that said you were never ever ever shopping at Target again!!! They were on your list! I didn't think anyone could resist Target, but you made a pretty convincing case!

Love ya!
