We're Back!!!

We're Back! heheh Luna, New Mexico was fun for Christmas! We even got snow! I had a great time playing games, watching movies, attempting to start the fire for the stove!, making breakfast Christmas morning, cutting down a tree, sledding, watching Taelin sled for the first time! Etc... But I am SOOOOO excited to be home! No more waiting for the bathroom, following Taelin around reminding her not to touch the stove or the fire place or the space heaters! She did such a great job down there! I think that she only bumped into the stove once and that is the only close call I know of! Well... I just wanted to let you all know that we made it safely home and that we had a great Christmas! No I did not have the baby yet... good thing! I have begun the Swelling process unfortunately. I thought that I was safe this time since I'm having a winter baby and I didn't start to swell like three months ago like I did with Taelin!

Anyway.... I will write more and post pictures and videos later! I am so tired that I wouldn't mind taking Sleeping Beauties place! :)
Love you all and thanks for reading!

Snow Fun!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Every December my Aunt makes a wreath to put on my sister Annelise's grave. She does such a good job! They always turn out sooo cute! The first thing that Taelin did when we got to the cometary was sit on Annee's grave! Annelise would understand and probably laugh, so I didn't bother making her get off.





Oh.... The winter wonderland has arrived!!!! I am so excited to finally have snow! With the snow come the responsibilities of shoveling the walks at our apartment building. Taelin does so well following Danny around and playing in the snow with him.... I get to take the pictures and spread the ice-melt. I shoveled a little! There sure was a lot of snow to shovel! Here are some pictures of our fun family adventure in the snow!





This morning Taelin woke up at 4:00 a.m.!!! Ahhhhh.... I thought that we had this whole sleeping through the night down! I guess not! It was okay though because we were getting up at 5:00 a.m. to take my brother to the airport! He is joining my mom, and sisters in California for Christmas! He is going to have a great time! Here are some pictures of our drop off!





I hope that you have enjoyed our Blog! Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Trip to Salt Lake City!

So yesterday our little family took the trek up to Salt Lake City! Danny needed to go tour the Church History Museum so we did that first and then took advantage of being close and seeing the lights! The Museum was great and Taelin was even amused by all of the things that were at her level! They were so smart in putting up railings and plexy glass below to allow the children to see the exhibits too! She loved looking at the refection of Angel Maroni in the window looking towards Temple Square! One of my favorite things is watching or riding the carriages! (I have only road in the carriage when I was about 5 years old) The sound of the Clydesdale hooves clapping against the road is just so beautiful not to mention the horse itself! The lights were amazing they are always soo beautiful and make me want to be so ambitious myself and do it to all of the trees in my yard, but who am I kidding do you know how long that would take! FOREVER! I love decorating for Christmas but do not enjoy being a human ice sculpture. On our way home I was in the mood for Olive Gardens soup! And just as we were passing a car pulled out of a parking place just in front of the restaurant! We were meant to go.. the wait was only 10 minutes so we stayed! I love the Minestrone soup there.... it's the best! Yummmm.... Taelin enjoyed it too.... There was a family of kids sitting behind me and they had fun making her laugh! We're talking a gut belly laugh! It was adorable and we all had a good time laughing with her! Thanks for reading! Have a very merry time getting ready for Christmas!

Catching Snow Flakes

Okay so here is the video of Taelin Playing in the snow!

Hopin' for a Winter Wonder Land!

I sooo love winter! I love all four seasons! So far Utah has been lacking one or two of the seasons every year for the last few years. They come late and leave early! So sad!!! I remember the years when I would play play play in the snow that was at least two feet deep all winter long! The boys in the neighborhood would make the coolest forts! They were tall enough that you could stand up in them and they would build them on a hill so that you could slid into the igloo and then they had another way out! I am not quite sure what the inside was like, because they were true boys and NO GIRLS were allowed! So sad! but they were still cool to look at. The next door neighbor would take his four wheeler and snow plow all of the snow to the side of the street into a big pile.... then I would attempt to make my own igloo.... never really was fun since you have all of the dirt from the road! No shoveling isn't the best, but it sure makes for a great family activity with hot chocolate afterwords. I wish that the snow would stick today! It needs to look more like Christmas! Here is a cute picture and video of Taelin playing in the snow! Okay so Blogger is being stuborn and not downloading the video! Sad! She tried to catch the snow flakes in her mouth it was really cute! Maybe I will try another day when I have the patience!

It was cold and fun. Taelin enjoyed a candy cane for the first time! The stickiness was all over her and the coat! I guess that it is a good thing both are washable! Uncle Ian was in the parade since he works for Provo City.
It was fun to see him. We have our house officially decorated for Christmas! I think that it looks so cute! I will have to post some pictures later since I haven't taken any yet!
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!


Oh and here is another picture that I LOVE Taelin snuggling with Daddy!
