Don't Blink... They grow up way too fast!!!!

I wish I was better at posting but seriously I just don't have time!!! I always say I'm going to be better, there is no excuse... BLAH BLAH BLAH! Maybe one day when I have a "little extra time" on my hands I will really follow through and post regularly!

Anyways since my last post a lot has happened. The holidays have been great and we've managed to stay pretty busy through it all! I can't believe March is already here... Honestly life is just good, Work is crazy busy and involves some traveling =( (do I survive YES, do I love being away NO), I am so very thankful for my family and their wonderful support and love, I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and can't imagine my life without it, Kyle is of course AMAZING and well Noah is growing up way too fast and is the joy of my life!

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to as of late! Enjoy...

Tonsils are gone! Noah would stop breathing in his sleep during the night, so we opted to have them removed! One of the hardest things ever but we managed to pull through...



Before, he was being so cute and innocent! Then he realized what was happening! Talk about SAD...



Family Pictures...

Noah LOVES Mickey Mouse and waffles... So I thought I would be creative one morning and make him a Mickey Mouse waffle. Little did I know this would turn into and every meal ritual, I would say "Noah what do you want for breakfast, lunch and dinner" Noah would reply "Ummm... a Mickey Mouse Waffle, Sandwich, spaghetti (how do you do that you might ask, well we just got creative)

Ragnar Del Sol 2011!!

A bunch of people at Kyle's work were on a team for the Ragnar in AR and needed a couple spots filled in. So they begged him and he said YES! Not because he is a runner (because he's not) but because he knew I would LOVE IT! And well I did... It was such a neat experience and so much fun and especially to do it with him! Our team was amazing and we finished a minute ahead of schedule, running 208 miles total and placing 217th out of 308 teams. Not so bad! I've had a problem with my IT Band (joints in my knee) for awhile now but thought it was fixed, well come to find out one mile into my first leg it wasn't so that was the only thing that SUCKED, once my knee is better I am so doing another one! My favorite run was running at 2:30 AM, LOVED IT! Did I miss my baby YES, so next time somehow he is coming with us! =) Thanks Babe for signing us...






Yes my baby started presechool TODAY. What in the world? My moms really good friend has been teaching for 20+ years and does an amazing job! It was bitter sweet, I am so excited for him to learn and do new things but at the same time I want him to be my baby FOREVER and with him starting preschool it becomes more of a reality that he is growing up way too fast! (His new thing involves the cheezy face below) Oh I just love him to pieces...




So when I say Don't Blink... They grow up way too fast!!!! I seriously mean it!

Will I ever post ON TIME again??

I always say I’m going to post real time and then I never do and find myself always playing catch up. Life just gets so busy, which isn’t an excuse but man on man how do you do it!

Here are some of Noah’s birthday pictures we took and his invitation I sent out. From the pictures you can’t tell that he was being a little stinker but really he was a lot harder this year than last year… But we still managed to get some good ones. I still can't believe he's 2...














Forgotten Carols

We again went to the Forgotten Carols this year. If you haven’t gone Go to it! It is totally worth it… This year Weber State was sold out so we opted to go up to Logan, it worked out because my cousin Brittany goes to school up there and is always saying she’ll babysit Noah so I took her up on the offer. Thanks Britt! Noah had a blast and still talks about you… =) We went with my brother and sister in law, and Jess and Kip. It was lots of fun for us girls and the boys went along because it would “make us girls Happy” Really? Deep down they love it they just don’t want to admit it! Anyways it was a fun night as you can tell by Kips face… =)





Lights and Dinner

It was my grandmas birthday on Saturday and so everyone in our family went down to Temple Square to see the lights and then to eat at Siete Bello (this is seriously the best restaurant EVER). It was really cold but so much fun!! I don’t have a pic of everyone because my camera wouldn’t work when the guy was taking it, so it’s on my grandparents camera but here are some pictures from earlier that night.







There is a funny story to go with these next pictures. My little nephew Aidan (who is 6) loves to take pictures. I asked him to take ours this is the first picture he got just our legs and then he said he messed up so he took the next picture. He said it was absolutely PERFECT! So when I looked I couldn’t help but laugh because he didn’t even realize he cut off Noah’s head… I didn’t tell him, I just said “Nice Job”! He was pretty proud.










Christmas Devotional

My grandparents are missionaries at the conference center and so they had two extra tickets to the Christmas devotional this year. I snatched them up and me, Kyle, Chazel and John went down. It was lots of fun, I’ve been a couple times before and every time it is such a good reminder of what Christmas is all about. I love our Prophet and leaders of the church they always have such a good and meaningful messages and every time President Monson talks the spirit testifies to me that he is a prophet of God and this church is true. I am so thankful for this time of year, for the yummy food, the gift exchanging, Christmas cards, shopping, family time and traditions but most of all for the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I forever grateful for all he has done and continues to do for me. As I was reading the Sullengers blog the other day she posted this amazing video that is what Christmas is all about. I loved it and I hope you do too. Enjoy!

For family night the other night we decorated our Christmas tree… We had so much FUN! I remember growing up when my mom would always suggest where to put the ornaments and even sometimes without us seeing (except sometimes I would catch her) would rearrange it because we had about 10 ornaments on the same branch. As Noah was helping I found myself doing the same thing, and now understand why mom did that. =) He loved every second of the decorating, he even has his own little tree that he can redecorate in his room which he already has done numerous times. I of course have a little nativity and as I got it out and we set it up the one thing I found so cute and interesting is Noah sat for over an hour playing with the nativity, he LOVED it. I explained who everyone was and sure enough I would over hear Noah saying “baby Jesus, and mommy and daddy” He then goes through and names every animal. He was in HEAVEN! I thought that would last just that night but nope every morning the first thing is says is “Umm… mommy, I play with baby Jesus, mommy, daddy and the barn?” (really he puts Ummm in front of everything now days).

Here’s some pics from family night…
