Merry Christmas From The Rodrigues'

Wisdom Teeth

I got all four of my wisdom teeth out on Friday. My bottom two teeth were impacted and my top two were not so bad. I don't remember much from being at the doctor. I remember sitting in the chair and hearing my pulse it was at 102, but when she got ready to put my IV in it jumped to almost 140. It actually didn't hurt so bad. What hurt was when she was taping the IV and her gloves got stuck on the tape and she was trying to rip it off and it was moving the needle around inside. I'm pretty sure that is why i have a huge bruise. Then she put medicene in my IV that made me loopy and itchy for few seconds. They were laughing at me and that is all I remember. I remember a little from the car ride home, and when Gabe was walking me into the house. I remember saying, "I can walk on my own" and I almost fell. My mom came to vegas to help and Gabe took the day off work. So I had both of them with me. Gabe helped me walk and my mom took videos. They are short, but some of them are really funny. Lots of emotions. Here they are.

Just a note. I don't remember anything these videos shows. And the video where I'm crying and Gabe is kinda mean to me, apparently this was like the thousandth time I said the same thing over and over. :) And I was bleeding pretty bad so I need to stop talking.

Thanksgiving Weekend

For Thanksgiving dinner, we went to the Palazzo with my Mom and her friend from Seattle. We had lots of fun and the food was yummy.

The day after Thanksgiving I went up to Alamo to spend some time with my my Dad, Jake, Johnny, and Chance. We had taco's, which were so yummy. We also went and visited Grandpa and Grandma. The above picture is Chance with a doll at Grandma's that says a prayer. Chance loved her.

I aslo got to got to Mike and VeraDells anniversary surprise party. It was fun seeing everyone and all the cute kids and babies.

We decorated our house this weekend also. It was alot of fun to decorate our new house. We bought christmas lights to put on our house, but after we opened them all we found out they had no end connectors. So we just decorated our trees.

Gabe took this picture because me and Olivia Match, because of her purple collar.

The doggies got sent to the corner because they were getting in the way. To curious.

Pole position was having a good deal on the price per race. So me and Sarah finally raced. We have always been to scared. It was so much fun. I was nervous at first but that went away quickly. I want to go again. Me and Sarah only raced onced but the boys raced twice. The pics are pretty cool of the racing.

Twillight Saga: New Moon

Twilight Saga: New Moon

A bunch of us girls went to New Moon on opening day. Right after work we went to the theater to wait in line for an Hour and a half and it was totally worth the wait. The movie was so good. It was alot better than the first one, but they also had alot more money to make it. There were a few scenes that bugged me since they were nothing like the book, but I went in opened minded.

In this picture is My mom, me, T-Rose, Jenny, Sarah, Katie, and Heather and her friends. We were first in line, so we got really good seats.

Waiting in line patiently. :)

Before I went to the theater I just had to take a pic with the family. Olivia is so silly, she stuck her tongue out of the camera. I'm so sad that Gabe couldn't come. I will make him watch it with me when it comes out on DVD.

At work, me and Sarah wore our shirts. It is tradition for our group of TwiNerds to make shirts and wear them to the movie.

First November Weekend

Since Gabe went to a Gears of War Tournament. I packed up the dogs and went to Alamo for a night. My pa was in Logandale so I spent all the time with my Mom. We went to the Highschool football game on Friday. They were 50 to 0 at half time.

Finally it is fall. I mean I had to drive 90 miles to get there but the trees in Alamo are pretty. I haven't seen any trees in LV turn any colors yet.

We went to Aunt Merna's to let the dogs play around and to try and catch some Crawdads. No such luck. But the dogs had fun. They chased a deer, found nasty things to chew on, and got really dirty. You can see here Olivia first deciding to get in, she decided against it until after she chased the deer. Then jumped in. Scooby, poor doggie, fell in. I had a hilarious picture of it, but it didn't save. He fell in head first and I had to help him out since the bank was muddy.At my mom's place they get so spoiled there. They even got to sleep on the couch. Thats a no no at my house. :)
Here is Gabe and his team at Anaheim, Ca at the Gears of War tournament. Bunch of nerds. They lost the first game, then won the second, and lost the third. It was double elimination. One of his teammates were not getting very many kills a game. He did have fun though.

More House Pics

I think these pictures are too funny. I told Gabe that we had to do the traditional picture of your husband taking you over the threshold and this is what he did to me. Knocked the air right out of me.

We finally closed on our house. It was a week later, but we are happy.

That night we closed, we took the dogs to the house. They seemed to love it. They ran all over. Upstairs, in the bedrooms, then the closets, bathrooms, then they ran outside and ran around some more.

Here are all the paint samples the boys brought for us to pick paint colors. I think they over did it. I knew what colors I wanted, but I did find a cool color for my bedroom. I will show pics when we are finished.

Gabe patching holes.

Sarah and Nate helped us out and I love them for it.

I love this picture. Now when we lock them out they can see us and give us the pouty look.

At 10:30 at night.

I wish they could help. Instead they laid around and watched us. But they did get paint on them.
