Getting Ready for Christmas!

This is the first real Christmas tree we have had since being married! Tom got it for us while they were up Elk hunting!

Getting ready for Christmas has worn a lot of people out in the Tieman house! Sweet little Max and Josh crashed out in the living room!

Josh has been doing A LOT of this!!! That is up until last Friday afternoon!

And I've been doing A LOT of this!! Taking on too many projects of course, but still having fun!
Now that Josh is done with finals which we just found out he got a good score on, and I am almost done with my projects... We are ALMOST ready for Christmas!

Fall Break Tucson Adventure!

As promised here is a little more fun post! The medical school accidentally scheduled a fall break for its students and Josh and I decided to make the most of it... We talked about doing a cruise or something, but I had trouble getting time off from work so we decided to do stuff here in Tucson! We had activities planned everyday and had a blast! Tom and Shirley (my in-laws) came down for a couple of days and we got to do a few fun things with them!

SATURDAY- COLOSSAL CAVES AND MT. LEMMON

Mt. Lemmon is so BEAUTIFUL! SUNDAY- PIMA AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM

On the way home Josh and I wanted to stop and look at model homes...well it ended up it was an active adult retirement community! We just pretended we were researching for Tom and Shirley and even brought them a ton of info and DVD!

TUESDAY- We went to the Reid Park ZOO!
WEDNESDAY- SCI Natural Museum

"This is a lovely room of death!"- ACE VENTRA

They even had a Quetzal! (National Bird of Guatemala)

We took this with my sister Alisyn in mind! Cheetahs are her FAVE!

THURSDAY- OLD TUCSON STUDIOS
I was asked to participate in the miracle elixir show and got sprayed with a ton of water!

A few weeks before break Josh and I doggy-sat for a lady I work with! This is Lily! She was so fun and super cute!
And this is the AWESOME PLINKO board Josh made for our ward Halloween Party! Its not the best picture, but it was so cool! He even had blood on the windows!

A quick, not so exciting update but... more fun things to coming soon!

Okay, so it has been awhile since I've updated my blog! Lots going on here at the Tieman home, but nothing crazy exciting! Josh is busy, busy with school and helping Tom with the Camaro, getting it ready for the Good Guys Car Show in 2 weekends! So yes we will we running up to Phoenix in an attempt to finish most last minute details on the car! I've been busy trying my hand at crafting and baking, as well as working at Spa One and watching Mike and Mollie's sweet baby, Max! He is such a good boy! So here are a few of my craft projects as of late and I promise to post pictures of our Tucson Adventure over Fall break soon!

I finally made some fall decorations... I didn't have anything before!

Mollie and Jill found this idea and we all made similar center pieces, but yet different because we got the frames and candlestick holders from different thrift stores around Tucson!
This idea was taken from my cousin, Holly's blog! And a special thanks to my mom for the fabric she gave me!
And most recent project was stocking for Josh and I!

WOODSIDE REUNION

We had a BLAST at the Woodside Reunion this year! Josh got home from Utah on Thursday night and we left Friday afternoon to camp for the weekend! Josh and I got up and went fishing a couple times, saw lots of elk, some deer and also wild turkey! We also took all the cousins out fishing for crawdads at Ashurst Lake!

At the raffle Josh and I put in tickets for tons of stuff, but ended up getting the one item we put only one ticket in for... a homemade sandstone and cedar table that my cousin Jeremy Woodside made! I will have to post some pictures of it because it's really cool! Kendon feel asleep during the raffle... heehee!

Cute Cousins

Josh and I fishing

Josh and I borrowed Tom's big truck, because our little honda is not made for even nice dirt roads... We sure put that truck to use! (and yes we washed it all up before returning it!)

My sister Alisyn is a goofball and Kendon, Josh and I had fun playing card while seeing what crazy things Ali would let the craydads pinch!

Ali and her FABULOUS earrings!
