I've had a little to much time on my hands...

So last night I got together with my best friend Shelby to plan her 20th birthday party. She decided that this year she wanted to have a black and white themed party. So everyone's attire with be strictly black and white, and most everything else at the party will be as well. So for her invitations we went to faceinhole.com to put her into some black and white photos.
Here is an example of Ms. Shelby Church as Elizabeth Taylor:

So after finishing Shelby's invitations I couldn't help but put some other peoples faces in the holes. So please enjoy them as much as I did.

Here we have Willie as Chuck Norris.

Wade as Naaaaaaaaaaaachooooooo.

A Jeppesen family favorite, Wade plays Horatio in CSI Miami.

Now the following are some of my most favorites, my family!!!

My father is Conan- the Barbarian.

My mother as Ashlee Simpson.

My brother Logan as Patrick Dempsey in Made of Honor.

Kelsey is a beauty queen (this one isn't much of a stretch).

Sierra talking to squirrels in Enchanted.

The Eggnog Challenge

So for those of you who don't know I strongly dislike Eggnog. I find it sooooo gross and will not drink it. Well this Christmas Wade put me to a challenge to drink this foul concoction. I have put it off for days now... so after ending our phone call tonight I told Wade I would finally drink some, but only a swallow. Now my parents think this is the funniest thing, and love that Wade dared me to do it... so my dad video taped on me beautiful new blue Sony camera....

and my mom took pictures on my phone.
Here are some still shots from the awful event that took place.

Here is my glass filled with two swallows of Eggnog and the jug it was poured from.

My feelings regarding the Eggnog.

And the empty glass. I am never drinking that again. It is just as terrible as I remembered. Who on earth would drink such a thing?

Alright here you go, just for you Wade:

I hope you at least got a good laugh out of it :)

My Trip to Utah

Well this weekend turned out to be quite fun. Last weekend (Saturday the 13th) Wade and I had planned to go to Salt Lake City to see the lights on Temple Square. But due to bad weather (its was not only snowing but SUPER freezing) we chose not to go and stayed here in Idaho Falls. So this weekend I went down to Tremonton (where he grew up) with him (since he already was going down for Christmas) to see the lights.

So here is our open road on our way to Tremonton, Utah. The road conditions were good. And there was only a little snow.

Here is our driver, Mr. Wade Dean Jeppesen. Please take a moment to appreciate the Christmas beard he is growing. I quite like it.And here I am, Ms. Allyson Kay Bullock the passenger.

Here are my new friends. Wade's niece's and nephew. Above is Raegan she is 4 1/2. I gave her my camera Sunday morning and she took quite the array of pictures. Above is a self portrait. Below are her brother and sister. I also now how quite a few pictures of doors, bathrooms, pictures hanging on the wall, toys, etc. Anything you could think of she snapped a photo or two. Here is Logan. He is 1 1/2 I believe. Logan loves the movie Cars. If you like or watch the movie Cars with him you'll be instant buddies. Even now in his hands you'll notice Lighting McQueen and King.She is super cute! This is Brielle, she is just about 9 months. Raegan even happened to snag a lovely morning photo of Wade and I. Now this was fun! Sunday morning while Wade and I were on our way to church we ran across a HUGE herd of sheep. No joke! They were herding sheep down the city street. Wade grew up in this area and said he had never seen such a thing right in town. They were huge sheep!Here they are passing Wade in the middle of the street. (we were pulled over and parked on the side of the road) But they were all jumping and pushing each other down the road. It was so fun to watch. Here they are passing on my side. They were just strolling on the sidewalk.
Later that evening after church, Wade and I headed down to Salt Lake City to see the lights on Temple Square. It was so much fun to see it all decorated. In the visitor's centers and in both the Tabernacle and Assembly hall there were choir concerts.
Also compared to last weekend, temperature and weather conditions were much better. It was still cold but it was a nice 32F.

But that nice weather didn't last long. While we were sleeping Sunday night, the storm came. And boy did it come. Heavy wet packing snow (perfect for snowmen and snowball fights) was covering the ground. The storm seemed to be every where.

Here is some of our drive. Wade's Dad was kind enough to let us take his truck back up to Idaho Falls, and boy were we lucky to have it. It was especially bad at Malad Pass.

If it wasn't for the sagebrush it would be hard to tell the sky from the ground. Everything was pure white.

Here is Wade driving the truck. He was so excited to take it up. After driving it though, he now wants to look into seeing how much trucks are. It was funny, to justify his reasons of wanting a truck he kept naming all the service he could give if he owned a truck. It was pretty funny.

Here are some funny shots I thought I would share. We have gotten so much snow today, but Juneau seemed to just love it. He wanted to prove his Huskiness or so it seemed. In the photo above, is Juneau buried in snow in the corner of the backyard. It was so hard to find him. And below, he is trying to find a path to come back inside. He is so cute.Well I think all together we got 10 inches of snow today. Oh what fun!

*~The Wedding~*

Well this week was fun! It was a great reunion for a wonderful occasion. Little Alex Murphy got married! That's right Alex is no longer a Murphy but rather a Bullock. (No relation to me ... well at least not a close one). But it was fun the night before we had both the Murphy and Snapp family over. It was so much fun.

Here we have (clock wise) Teresa in the front, her husband Darrin, then Terry and his wife Kristi and then my mother Kris.

The love birds! (Lawson and Alex)

All of us socializing (1)

Fresh out of the Rexburg Temple!

They both looked so beautiful and happy!

The sisters!

The Murphy's with their new addition.

I wasn't able to attend the reception in Morgan the following day, but my parents and Sierra did. Here is a wonderful picture of the Westland Ward members at the reception. There never has been a greater group of people then the Westland Ward if I do say so myself. I think we will all always be family.

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving! I love this Holiday :) It is not only full of wonderful food, but it really gives you an opportunity to enjoy your family. I know that for me I am most thankful for my family. I have been so blessed to have a wonderful relationship with both my parents and each of my siblings. I love my family so much. I guess that also leads into why I am so glad I have the gospel in my life and the blessings it has brought to me and my family. I know that the gospel is the main contributing factor in my family life. I know that by my parents being faithful in their callings and temple attendance we have been abundantly blessed as their children. I am so grateful for the sacrifices my parents have made over the years to live righteously so that we may have the spirit in our home.

Here are some photos from our day of thanks...

There is no better way to start off than with a picture of my father cutting the turkey. I love the face he is making.

Here are my beautiful parents working hard in the kitchen.

We were lucky enough this year to have my mom's parents Betty and Bill Jemison come to dinner. It was so nice to have them over. But here we all are getting ready to feast. Just to go around the table to introduce everyone. (clockwise starting bottom left) Sierra (12), Kelsey (17), Bill (Bompa), Betty (Grammie), Rick, Kris, Me (20) and Logan (23).

The Sunday after Thanksgiving we had a fun night of games and ginger bread houses. Wade and Hannah came over to join in the fun.

Here is Wade helping Sierra put on the roof of her house. Kelsey and I are just observing and throwing in our two cent comments.

Me jumping in on the fun. Sierra didn't like that so much.

Once the house was built the roof kept sliding off so Logan and Hannah kept their hands on it till it dried.

Homecoming October 2008

Well I finally got around to looking at the vast amount of pictures that have been taken since September and thought I would share some of the past events with you. The following series of pictures are from Kelsey's homecoming dance. This is her Senior year if you can believe it or not! It is hard to think of her growing up. But she is going to be gradutating before we know it. I am really starting to feel old. So in honor of that we will start the picture series off with a blast from the past. My senior homecoming picture. Enjoy :)

Homecoming October 2005. Alright moving on now here are the pictures from October 2008.

This is me crimping Kelsey's hair. Our inspiration this year was Ms. Taylor Swift ...

Time was running short so I called in some back up... my mother! Thankfully she came to the rescue and finished crimping Kelsey's hair while I started on her makeup. It was so much fun getting her ready, she let me do whatever I wanted. SO... I did her hair swept up and wavy with bright blue eyeshadow to match her dress. She looked sooooooo beautiful. I am so proud. She is growing up to be quite the lady.
