Minor Mishaps

This past week we had a few minor mishaps: Tanner took his first dive off our bed. Luckily, when he hit his head on the nightstand it flipped him so he landed sitting up. He is perfectly okay. I got a hair cut, and the chic chopped my bangs so short that I was embarrassed to leave the house for a week. One more week and they might look presentable. Anthony's license expired on Tuesday, and he got pulled over on Thursday...he got off with a warning. And last, but not least, Tyson got a 12 hour bug and threw up all over in my car, on my couch, and in his bed. He feels fine now. So, nothing major. Things like this keep our lives interesting.

Tyson got so tired, he fell asleep standing against the couch!!



Can you see his two front bottom teeth?

Over The Holidays

As you can tell from my lack of posting, December was a busy month for me. Since before Thanksgiving, at least one, if not more, person in our house has been sick. Luckily, our prayers were answered and we were all healthy and well just in time for Christmas. We went to Beaver to be with family and had a great time. Here is a little update with us.

• One of the highlights of my holiday is that I got together with my two best friends from high school. We figured it had been about two years since all three of us had been together at the same time.
• Tanner was lucky enough to get his two front teeth for Christmas. He is such a cheeser, and at times can be a biter. Bottle feeding might be on the menu sooner than I had planned.
• Tyson got a tricycle and he loves it. We forgot it at grandma's so he has to wait awhile to ride it.
• I managed to fall down a flight of stairs without breaking any bones, but bruised my whole left arm and tailbone. I guess I am gettin clumsy in my old age.
• I made a photo album of our wedding pictures for Anthony at mypublisher.com. It was so fun and turned out great.
• We didn't get to play in any snow because it was too blasted cold. I had a hard time staying warm even inside the house.
• Anthony is permanently in St. George with his job now. The opening date is.......TBA! We will let everyone know.

I just wanted to say Thanks to family and friends for blessing my life with such love. I feel so blessed this holiday season. I love you all.

My favorite things...

One of my favorite things around this time of year is the smell in the air. It must come from the snow or the cold weather, resulting in the smell of a cozy fireplace and food. However, with the snow and cold weather lacking now that we are in St. George, it doesn't smell like Christmas at all. That is why I had to go out and buy the infamous Christmas Eve candle from Salt City Candle Co. to help bring in some of the smell of Christmas. I don't think I have gone a Christmas without it since I discovered the wonderous scent. Another great discovery was our shatter-proof bulbs for our tree because Tyson has already thrown some down the stairs and on the tile and they don't break. This is great because they are the only decorations we have on our tree!!

O Christmas Tree

Here is a picture of our Christmas Tree. This year we had to use a fake one because we don't have a truck to haul a real one to St. George. It is beautiful but it lacks the character and smell of a real tree.

Tanner's growing up!

Here is a not so good video of Tanner...

Thanksgiving

Thanks to all of those who made Thanksgiving a big hit this year. We spent Thanksgiving day at Carolyn and David's, and most all of the family was there. This year was very relaxing and enjoyable for me...and it was great to see everyone. Some of my favorites were the El Bambi rolls and the seven layer jello. It was delicious. We then got to spend Saturday with my mom's side of the family in Orem. What a nice weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again at Christmas time.
