Finding the Perfect Tree

While up for Thanksgiving we helped pick out Christmas tree's for Ryan and Lisa house and Curt's parents house.  It was fun, this was my first time going to pick out a live tree.  

Visit from Santa

We went up to Rexburg for Thanksgiving.  Here are a few pictures of us enjoying time together.

Santa paid us an Early Visit. The kids thought it was fun even though most of them knew it was Grandpa:)  

 

Happy Birthday Curt

Curt's Birthday was on Tuesday but it has been a busy week. To celebrate Curt's Birthday we went to the Temple then, garbed lunch at Costa Vida on the way home. After eating we opened presents (check out Curt's awesome Ninja Turtle Shirt that he got from his mom), at cake, Ice Cream, and relaxed until he went to work. It was nothing exciting but sometimes having a relaxing day is the best birthday present. I love you Curt and hope that you had a wonderful birthday.

 

Curt's Suprise Birthday Party

Curt's Birthday was on Tuesday, but I threw him a surprise party on Sunday. I had wonderful friends help me plan and get stuff together. Thanks Brigham Moore for getting Curt out of the house. We had a great time, my friend Chelsea Moore made homemade waffle cones (they were delicous Chelsea) and everyone else helped bring ingredient to make homemade ice cream. Chelsea and Nicole Anderson sang Curt a sweet birthday song with actions, to bad I did not think out recording it. They also gave him homemade birthday cards. Then we played Disney SCENE it?, I don't remember who won when we played boys vs girls, but when we played couples Curt and I totally kicked trash. It was a great time and the best part was that Curt had no clue I was planning it.

 

Yeah All of Our Paper Work for the Adoption Process is Complete

For those of you who don't know Curtis and I have been working with LDS Family Services to start the adoption process and we have finally finished all the paper work.  We have interviews next week to get approved so that our profile can be put online for single expectant girls to see. When we are online I will post the link to our profile so that you can help spread the word and help us get a child faster. Also I am going to make my blog public again so birthparents can see our blog and get to know us better. So if you know of anyone or know someone who knows someone that it considering placing their child for adoption you can give them our profile and blog address. We are so excited and would love your help in finding us a child.

I also want to thank all our friends and family who helped us get through this first part of the process, especially those who helped us get our profile and birth parent letter ready.

Look at Me I am Crafty

 

I just wanted to show off my cute ghost that I made for Relief Society last night. It was supper easy I just drapped a piece of cheese cloth dipped in sugar water, draped over a water bottle with a Tin foil ball on top for a head and dowels taped on for arms. Now I have a total of three Halloween Decorations, Yeah!

Curt was a Lumber Jack and He's Ok

Last weekend we went up to my grandmas cabin with my Dad, my sister Debbie, and My older brother Allen. We played Lumber Jack as we cut down and chopped up three trees. It was a good workout hauling the logs up the hill while sliding back down with every step we took. But it was good to get out side and help my grandma clean up her cabin.

 

I think Curt enjoyed using the chainsaw cut down and cut up the tree.  Here are pictures of my Dad and Curt cutting down the trees.

My New Hair Cut

 

Do you Like my hair cut. I got it cut because it getting long and heavy. I cut off about 4 inches and thinned it out. You should have seen the pile of hair that I left it was the size of a kitten.

What the Snelgroves have been up to

So it has been forever since I have posted, but I just wanted to let everyone know that we are alive and doing well. We have both stared our last semester to complete our bachelors degree. I am working on my senior project, I am doing my project at the Logan Family Information and Resource Center, it is a great place for parents so I will blog about it and give you parents in Logan more information. I will have my hours completed by the beginning of November. It is weird to think that I will be done with school, I have been going since I was six years old I don't know what else to do with my life. I guess I will have to start real life and get a job, UGH.

Curt is taking a couple of class and preparing for grad school. He took the GRE last month but did not get a high enough score to get excepted into his program, so I think he is going to take off a semester to work and plans to start the grad program next May or August. So we will most likely be in Logan for a few more years while Curt is going to school. It will be interesting to see how everything turns out.

A couple weekends ago we went up to Curt's parents to watch the rodeo for Francis Frontier Days. It was actually pretty fun other then I got fried because I forgot to but on sunscreen. We also got to help with the Kids Scrambles, an activity were kids get to chase after and catch animals. I forgot to bring my camera but it was funny to watch kids run around the arena trying to catch, kittens, bunnies, chickens, goats and pigs. One of the pigs escaped into the animal pen and several of the guys jumped over the fence to catch the pig. It was great to see grown men scrambling around, Curt even tried to jump on top of the pig but misses and ripped a hole in his new pants.

Between games we spent a lot of time hang out at Curt's parents house playing Guitar Hero. Here are some pictures of Curt and his sister playing.

Feed Ducks with the Kjars

This morning we went and feed ducks with our friends the Kjars. There kids, Kate and Gordon are so cute and fun to play with. We had one goose that wanted to come home with us. It was so friendly that Curt was able to pet it.
