I know you are jealous right? :) I would be if I wasn't going to Disney World. We are so excited for Friday to come. 2 more days! We have been waiting patiently in this cold weather for January 7th to come upon us and its just around the corner. We had such a great Christmas in our new house and spending time with the family. We went to the Roof with my parents Christmas Eve and then spent Christmas Day with my best friend across the street. Santa was really good to us this year. I asked for baby, but apparently Santa didn't want to bring me one of those yet. ;) I received my black TOMS I wanted, two necklaces, gift cards and JUST DANCE 2!!!! I love this game, if you haven't played it you should come over cause it is FUN! Santa got Steve a Ping Pong table, PGA golfing booklet, Golden Eye for the Wii and his Banana Republic shirt he wanted. Santa was really nice to us this year. We have been so blessed this year and can't wait to see what 2011 brings to our family. 
My dad made fun of our Christmas tree because we had little presents under it but its just Steve and me this year. :)
At the Roof...it was my first time there and it was good!

My sister's and I decided to buy these cute socks at Target and wear them to our family Christmas party...we love them :)
And of course to complete my Temple Square Christmas a picture by my favorite pink lights!
I say Disney...you say World. Disney...
Does someone need a hug?
I love Christmas time! I love buying gifts for people you love, the Christmas movies on every channel, and the decorations all around you. I am so excited for this Christmas because we get to be in our house this year and then we get to meet up with Steve's family in January for Disney World!!! That's right we are going to Disney World! I even made a Disney World countdown for Steve. He loves it! :) We had a great Thanksgiving with my family and we even did a Human Turkey Run the day of Thanksgiving. It was FREEZING! I was even on the news for like one min. :) I was interviewed about why I was doing the run etc. The picture below explains it all. It was my brother in laws hat that he was going to wear but he decided it would fall off when he was running, so I wore it. :) Everyone walked (except for Steve...he slept in) this year except for my brother in law, he actually did the 10K and still beat us all walking. We love having time to spend with our families. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Let's remember the spirit of Christmas and center our life's around Christ.
PS Thanks Sara for posting the pictures on your blog so I can use them too!

We had a sister night out at Gardner Village and met this very cute little elf at one of the stores. She also dresses up at Witches Night Out as one of the Sanderson Sisters.
October Fun!
Can you believe we have been married for ONE year!!!! Crazy, huh...its gone by so fast. We have had a great October together. We moved into our new house (see pictures below) had our 1st anniversary together and Halloween!!! I LOVE Halloween!!! It's my favorite holiday. We have been busy with work and just unpacking our house. My downstairs is unpacked. Now I need to work on my upstairs and painting. :) It's been so fun and nice to have our own place. We love our new little house. With October coming to an end I can't believe Thanksgiving is coming up and then Christmas...where has this year gone? We are so lucky and blessed to have a great house and loving friends and family around us. Happy Halloween!
PS Did I mention we get to go to Disney World in January!!! :)
I have been really bad with taking pictures lately so this is the ONLY picture I took when we went to Park City for our ONE year anniversary.
Our first House!
Yes, we finally closed on our house in Lehi yesterday. We couldn't be more excited and blessed to be able to own our very first house together. :) We count our blessings everyday for all that we have. As for now we get to pack the rest of our apartment this weekend so we can move in on Monday! :) It's such a cute house and I can't wait to start our family in it. Now we just need to convince Steve that he can handle kids. ;) No one is really ever ready to have kids right? :) I hope you enjoy the pictures of our new house and hope you can stop by sometime to see it. We would love visitors. :)

Hey Mickey!
Words can't describe how much fun we had with my family at Disneyland! 5 days at Disneyland and the beach...WOW! :) I would have to say the only down fall on our trip was when I got sick one night. I know right...who gets sick at Disneyland? Just me! Wednesday night I was up all night til about six throwing up and sitting on the toilet. It wasn't my favorite part of Disneyland but I was able to sleep in that morning til about noon and then I felt much better so we met up with the rest of the Oldson gang later that day. :) We went to the beach and even got to see a Angel's game. It was a fun trip and we can't wait to go to Disney World in January with Steve's side of the family.:) I know you are jealous. ;)

One Word...Disneyland!
This week has made me realize how Lucky and Blessed I am in my life. I have a great husband who is amazing, we have great parents, loving family all around us and the gospel in our live's. To start out our week Steve got a new Honda Accord. 2007- fully loaded. He is really excited about it and it's super nice. :) Then we started looking for housing again since a house we put an offer in countered back still WAY to high. So we continued our search and found the perfect house for us right now! It's in Lehi across the street from my best friend Lacie! :) We are super excited to be under contract with this house right now and we hope to move in by the middle of October...maybe sooner. ;) Then to top of our week we are leaving for DISNEYLAND tomorrow!!! What a great way to end August and begin September. We are so excited to spend a whole week with my side of the family. 5 days in Disneyland is the best way to start out September don't you think? :)
Happy Birthday to Me!
So for my birthday this year my co-worker and friend Kelli and Taylor gave me two tickets to Carrie Underwood/Stadium of Fire! It was SOOOOO much fun! First of all, its Carrie and she can sing and second she is so freakin HOT!!! If I was guy, I would totally be all over that! lol We got to see not only Carrie and the great fireworks for the 4th of July but we also got to see the Osmond 2nd Generation baby! We had a great time. Steve would have enjoyed the show a lot more if the man behind him didn't have his knees pushing in Steve's back. But I had a lot of fun singing and dancing along with Carrie! Thanks Kelli for the great birthday gift. We had a BLAST...or at least I did! ;)
Stadium of Fire before Carrie
I just love her
She is so Beautiful!
Yes...I know, we are cute. We are going to make cute babies huh!? ;)
Bowling with Cody
Me and Cody bowling before we got the child bowling ramp :)

Cosmic bowling with Uncle Steve
One night we took our nephew bowling with us late at night. The other people at the bowling alley were probably thinking we were horrible parents...keeping our kid up that late but he had so much! It was like 8 or 9 o'clock when we started bowling but Cody had a blast with his favorite Aunt Ashley and Steve! :) He even got a strike!
Tri #3
Team Spencer crossing the finish line
My biggest fan EVER! :)
Coming out of the water
Look at us...Team Spencer
I did it!!!! Don't worry I didn't die on my swim part on this tri. :) Surprisingly it only took me 24 min to finish which last year I did the swim part in 23 min. It just comes to show that training to swim means nothing to me! ;) Team Spencer finished the tri in 2 hrs. and 6 min. We did awesome. I was so proud of my sister Rondee and Steph. They did great with the bike and run. Next year I think they should do the whole thing. I did miss doing all three parts...I even met Rondee at the very bottom of the hill to run up hill with her to the finish line. Team Spencer did it!!!
Triathlon #3?
Yes, yes its true. I am doing another triathlon in T minus 5 days people! :) This year I have taken the easy way out and just doing a relay with my sister Rondee and my cousins wife Steph. :) But of course I am doing the worst part of the triathlon...the swim!!! Now ask me how many times I have been swimming? :) A BIG FAT 0! Yes, that's right, 0 times. :) I have been running...well a little. But I am not nervous about it this year at all. I figured I have finished the swim before I can do it again. We decided to name our team, Team Spencer. :) (Spencer is my brother who I beat a few times the years before) We figured that if we named our team that then if we did really bad it's Team Spencer and if we did really well, Spencer could say he had a successful triathlon. :) lol I love my brother...don't worry. So wish Team Spencer luck this weekend as we try to finish our relay triathlon. :) GO TEAM!
