so fun! (you can't tell from the video, but he's going down a hill...)



Yeah, we could get used to this weather in the winter.... :)

We made it to San Diego! We're happy to be here in the beautiful weather! We've played outside and gone on walks just about everyday since we got here on Tuesday. Sam & I even got to go out on a date today to see a movie, the Kings Speech. (so good!)

I've been really bad at taking pictures since we got here. The only picture I took with my camera is one of Maizie with my Grandma Kay. Maizie's middle name is Catherine, named after my grandma.
Here's the one of the two Catherines :)


The rest are random cell phone pictures that I've taken this week...








Maizie smiles a ton now. She's especially smiley in the morning. She is so dang cute when she smiles. This picture doesn't do it justice, but here's one I got of her smiling. I'm so in love with this little girl...

The morning after Christmas, we piled in the car and headed to San Diego. We stopped in Las Vegas for a night, where we stayed with our good friends Andy & Jamie. Their little girl is just about 9 months younger then T, they had fun chasing each other around the house and playing together.

(We took this picture when they were so sleepy...after all the playing...!)


While we were there, it was so fun to see my good friend Amy!! She had a baby just 2 weeks after Maizie was born so we had to get those two together. It was so great to meet her little girl and fun to see Amy's family again.




T's favorite part of being in Las Vegas was playing outside. I don't blame him! The weather was beautiful and we haven't been able to play outside in months! It was great!!






Thanks for letting us stay with you guys Andy & Jamie! We sure miss living in Las Vegas, we still talk about it all the time. We have some really great friends there, hopefully we'll be back for another visit soon...or who knows, maybe after graduation, we'll be back there to live again :)

Christmas Eve...

12.23.2010

We had a busy & fun day today! First, we had breakfast with our good friends Josh and Heather. T loved playing with their cute kids (I couldn't get a cute picture of T during breakfast, T was way too busy stuffing his face with Heather's delicious meal...can't blame him..it was so good!! Thanks Heather!)


After breakfast, the kids made a cute Gingerbread House...


When we got home, we made and baked cookies to put out for Santa tomorrow night on Christmas Eve. We can't wait to frost them tomorrow!


Tonight, Santa Clause came to our house!! We could hear his bells outside our front door and we were so excited that he made a stop at our house even though he's so busy right now, getting ready for Christmas! T loved him! He kept saying, "cookies..." haha and "fly up in the sky!" "Down the chimney" and "North Pole" :)


Santa even brought a new Christmas story for us to read and new jammies for T and little sis to wear tomorrow night.


T loved it. Tonight as I was putting him to bed he goes, "Thank you Santa. I love you Santa. Come back." ha seriously. I love that he understands more about Christmas this year, it's so fun. Really, thank you Santa!!!

(Matt-you were so great, thank you so much!)

Tonight we rooted for the Utes even though they didn't pull out the victory. At least the kids looked really cute in their Ute stuff.




We got together with Sam's family to watch the game. His brother Jeremy takes great pictures, here are a few of the pictures he took. Thanks Jer!!








T had so much fun playing with all of Sam's brothers and his cousin Grant. He sure has some fun uncles!!

Snow!!
T had so much fun playing in the snow today. He never wanted to come inside. It was really cute, he looked so cute out there, playing with his daddy...






Little sis looked really cute in her winter gear too...even though we stayed inside :)

I liked Sam's outfit the best at our friends' Christmas Party last night :)

Last night, we rode the Heber Railroad to the North Pole!




We had such a great time. Santa Claus even came aboard and gave T a little present made by the elves at the North Pole.






It was really cute, I'm so glad we went. T had such a great time, he woke up this morning talking all about it :)

Remember this...?? (click HERE)

Wow those 4 months flew by, and tonight we got to meet McKoy! These 2 are less then 3 weeks apart. They're already best buddies :)

Tonight we went out to dinner at Naked Fish with our good friends, the Millers, and afterwards we went to look at the lights at Temple Square.


T is an extremely picky eater, we were shocked when he pointed to the scallops and said, "okay, okay" I gave him one and he loved it! We were dying. After he asked for more, it was great. (This is a kid that eats cereal, fruit or anything that looks like a cracker or cookie...seriously) I was so proud of my little guy for trying something new!


Beautiful lights!




We met up with my brother & Annie down at the lights. T was so excited to see Uncle Cliff....so were we :)

Thanks for the fun night Millers! It was so fun to see you guys!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Gene!!

Last Saturday night I was diagnosed with a Sinus Infection. It has seriously been so awful! They are so painful!! The good news is that I think I'm starting to feel better, and soon I should be back to blogging... (I'm not tying to get sympathy, I just want everyone to know that we're alive and hanging in there...! and I feel SO BAD for anyone that has ever had one of these!)

12.4.2010

This morning we made a gingerbread house. It was way fun, I kinda want to make another one so our 1st house can have neighbors :)

12.3.2010

We're still sick :(


But the good news is that I think, I hope, we're getting better.
