Christmas and such

We spent Christmas Eve, with the Ashman's. We went to Tepanyaki for dinner and after we just hung out, opened our exchange gifts, and Sam & JD threw pillows at the kids as they ran by. It sounds kinda mean, but judging by the pictures below, the kids loved it.

Our Christmas could have been better. It sounds harsh, but it's true. I'd would have liked a little less throw up. Alli woke up with throw up everywhere, but still in great spirits. We didn't end up getting out til later that day, when the vomitting subsided.

We also made an attempt to go tubing at Solider Hollow. She loved putting on her new gear, but when I put her in a little tube to pull her around, she wasn't having it. It all unraveled from there...

Happy Birthday Alli!

Our sweet little Alli turned 2 today! She's such a funny little girl. She's growing up way too fast though. Alli loves anything Sesame Street, Mickey Mouse or Disney Princess. She loves playing with other kids and is still working on the art of sharing. She likes reading books and coloring. She's a girly girl and doesn't like to leave the house without her purse, keys, lipstick and credit card. She's brought so much happiness to our family and we love her so much!

We had our front room filled with balloons and a princess chair and a few presents to open. She was more excited about the balloons I think. We're going to continue the celebrations at a venue responsible for a good chunk of my birthday parties as a kid... Chuck E Cheese.

Getting caught up

I haven't taken any pictures lately. Fortunately, anytime we do anything fun, it's with Tara & Nash so Tara's always right there to capture the fun. We try to get the kids out every now and then. Recently we went up to the Children's Museum, Wheeler Farm, and a park up in SLC. I don't know what we're going to do when it gets too cold to go outside.

Spicing things up this Halloween!

Happy Halloween!


PS Alli is not picutred because she doesn't want to wear a costume. Poor Macie didn't have a choice.

Here we go again...

Okay, I thought thumb sucking had been eradicated along with other various diseases? How did I get 2?

Oh how we love this little face! She can be so sweet, but she will let you know if you are "buggin me!"

Our little chunk! Macie is 12lbs 14oz, she's in the 90% for height and weight. Doc says she's healthy as a hog.

blessed

Macie was given a name and a blessing September 27, 2009 by her father. Jeff gave a great blessing and again we're so grateful to have her in our family!
