Excuse Me... I ordered the LARGE!

Holy Huge House Batman! My uncle moved into a new "home" this past weekend... and when I say house, I really mean Mansion!! :) This place has 17 rooms and 32 bathrooms! Ok, so I might be exaggerating a little, there are really only 7 bathrooms. I was glad to help him move as he was awesome enough to help JJ and I out in our endeavor, and I was amazed at their new abode. The driveway was a bit steep and I ended up twisting my already bad knee so I trunked out a bit early, but I was able to walk through the entire mansion with my Grandma and that was just priceless! Here are just a few shots...

This is the DOWNSTAIRS kitchen if you can believe that. It's nicer than most people's own kitchen! It was just gorgeous and I was extremely jealous to say the least.

If I thought I was jealous of the kitchen it was nothing compared to what I felt when we discovered this room at the end of a long, wide hallway - The Theater. 3 levels, Giant screen, leather couches... what more could a movie lover like myself ask for?? Hey uncle, can I rent out your theater for a night?! :)

Congrats on the new home uncle - it's beautiful and I can't wait for the next family party!!

Spur-Of-The-Moment!

On Thursday my sister Amy and I decided to be good little granddaughters and drive to Sunny St George to take care of our sweet Grandma. She went through surgery on Tuesday and it took a lot more out of her than expected. So we packed our bags and raced to her side.

We helped put all her Christmas decorations away and restore order to her home. Did some grocery shopping, light cleaning and just stayed by her side to do any other task she just couldn't do on her own. We visited, watched movies and made her smile as often as possible. My grandpa was able to go on an ATV ride he had thought he would have to cancel as well, I think it's freaking awesome that my 75 year old Grandpa is out on the trails - throwin' up dust! We left on Sunday afternoon after many smiles and endless thank-you's. I'm soooo glad we were able to go down and take care of both of them, grateful we had the time and ability to do so. Thanks for asking for our help Grandma and Grandpa, we truly enjoyed our time with you, thank you for the nice relaxing weekend!! And boy oh boy did we enjoy the weather!! A sunshiny 57 degrees!! Woo Hoo! :)

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year Family, Friends & Followers! We partied this year again at the Orr home - and it was a blast as usual! Playing games, eating delicious food, laughing uncontrollably, seeing cousins from distant lands, playing more games, lighting fireworks, kissin' at midnight... and finally falling into bed at 4:15 AM = GOOD TIMES!!!


This is what you consider a good time at a party?! Monopoly??? Will one in the end - don't Lawyers always get what they want? Why even play!?


Baby Girl is ready to party!!


Rachel is freaking awesome!! Love this girl to pieces. She brings life, laughter and smiles to any party - any girl that does the worm in her wedding dress is a staple to a great party :)


Me and my mommy!!


Whilst setting off fireworks my Aunt Julie released a mini air balloon - here we go with 2010!


This may be completely gross - but he had me laughing sooooo freaking hard! I love you Sean!


Drewbee wins the most annoying award - he mastered the act of making the most high pitched squeal from these things! I'm sure dogs around the neighborhood were going crazy!


He may be putting in the wrong place, but at least Bri isn't being as loud as the others!!

Me and Wendy Girl :) She flew off soon after the party to return to the East Coast, her fancy new job in D.C. awaits! Congrats and Good Luck!

Me & Cassie - the most adorable girl on the planet!! I love you!
PARTY PING PONG:
A must have to every New Year's Bash - my family rocks!


Mommy & Brother keepin' the party going - pour that bubbly!


A Toast to us! Happy New Year!

Uh-Oh... It's all gone....


XOXO!! I look forward to spending another year with you my love!
