Merry Christmas Wittwer's!

Ah, the last of the Christmas parties. This would make #3 and #4 and # 5..... I think....

My Grandma W gave all the boys ties for Christmas, all the girls got jewelry. The tie coming out of no where on the side is JJ's - other pictured: top is Joe, Jon, Dave. Bottom is Andrew, (Kayley), Sean and Brian. Good lookin' ties for good lookin' boys!


This is my nephew Alex, he was pretty upset that he got a tie instead of a toy. You felt bad yet at the same time had to struggle not to laugh. It was so cute!



This is Christmas morning - I must have been extra good this year because Santa left me 2 stockings!!! I was definitely spoiled this year!


Christmas at JJ's mom's house. As soon as I walked in the door I took Genevieve from my sister-in-law... I think I'm slightly addicted!! See that smile? I think she likes me too!



Merry Christmas from my mommy! I got the 3 wise men - it's part of the Willow Tree Nativity set. JJ got new temple clothes, tools and a gift card to Jamba Juice! Thanks Mom and Art!


Merry Christmas kids!! My nieces and nephews with the gifts from JJ and me. Kodie, Cooper, Jackie, Audrey and Alex. We love you!


These gifts were from my other siblings. Kodie is holding a bow & arrow that shoots marshmallows, Audrey, Jackie and Alex are holding AirZooka's and Coop is holding a gun marshmallow shooter. These were the favorite toys of the evening... even the grown-ups took turns!

Christmas Adam I was at work and was surprised to see my cute husband come into my cubicle. He's so sneaky!!! 3 white roses and Sammy the Raccoon. Made my day!


Look at all that loot!! Books, movies, perfume, a lava lamp, M&Ms, Volcom wallet... What did I tell ya, I was a good girl!

Kevin Rockwell

This is my father-in-law, Kevin. He passed away on May 10th, 2008. He's been on my mind a lot recently and I just miss him so very much. I hate that I didn't get to know him very well, I hate that I don't have very many pictures of him, I hate that I have no pictures of just him and me. But I love that he made me smile. He was just a big kid!


I love that he surprised me on my wedding day with 2 songs just for me. He sang "You Are So Beautiful" and "Change the World" and both brought tears to my eyes.... and still do! Family gatherings just aren't the same without him. I miss you, I love you!

Merry Christmas Bellistons!

Christmas #2: 12/21. This party was held at my Dad's house. We started the party with just my dad and his kids, then the night continued with his parents and his sister & her family.

Me and my sisters! Emily, Amy and Kacie (not pictured: sis in law Courtney and my step sister Amber - they showed up eventually...)


Me and my daddy!!!


JJ and I with our presents from daddy - he went green this year, everyone's presents were in these bags so save on wrapping paper. What an eco-friendly dad!



Merry Christmas to me! Kacie burned 4 cds for my music education: Saving Able, Nickelback, Trapt, and Breaking Benjamin.


Silly JJ. His biggest wish this year was for his very own bag of clementine oranges. And every wish list that I've seen from him always had Stamps on it. He considers them the best gift as they are practical and needed - thanks Amber for finally taking care of that wish!

Merry Christmas Rockwells!

Christmas #1: 12/19 we spent the evening out at JJ's sister's house. We ate dinner, opened presents and watched the double overtime Jazz game.


JJ with the nieces and nephews: Jaques, James, Sarah and Mia.



This is me with the newest addition to the Rockwell family. Caitlin had this sweet baby girl on Dec. 4th. Genevieve Mercedes - she's so stinkin' cute!



Get A Clue!!! From JJ's sister Annie we got the game Clue - Deluxe Addition. After the Rockwell Christmas JJ and I went over to my sister's house to give this game a go, and I WON!!! It was so much fun!!! I got skillz!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Before celebrating with turkey and all the trimmings my hubby, siblings, and cousins on my mom's side gathered to play basketball for a few hours.
It was so fun to see all those boys get together!!





This year we spent the day with JJ's family. We crammed into my mother-in-law's living room, ate tasty food and had a good time.

Me and my handsome husband!


My brother-in-law, Moses, invited his family to celebrate with us - crazy Venezuelans!!!
2 of my sister-in-laws are pregnant!! They are both ready to pop!!

Happy Halloween! Boo!


For work I dressed up to freak out some co-workers, and let me tell you, It Worked!! I even had one guy believing that not only that my tattoos were real, but that I actually got them done at Wal-Mart! We had some good laughs that day!



Then JJ and I dressed up for a night at the Off Broadway Theater. We were entered into a costume contest and won 3rd place!

Wedding Day!







Let's go back in time for just a bit - I loved my wedding day - so here's some fancy pictures from that day!!

The Beginning...

In the beginning people all over the world were blogging, I'd check it here and there, and everywhere to see what people were saying. Then came the day when I thought, hey, why not join in the "fun"? So here I am, creating a blog so I can be in the "in crowd." Here we go!!
