Some Christmas...

Yes, I'm finally posting a few of our Christmas vacation pictures. We were lucky enough to be able to make the trek out to Utah and Idaho for a couple of weeks (almost three actually). Our families were amazing and wonderful and we had so much fun spending time with them. Thanks to everyone for all of the rides and arrangments. :)
Here is Josh taking Madeline sledding down Grandma and Grandpa Dustin's hill. She liked it more this year than last year, but it was probably not her favorite activity.


I love this picture!! Here is Josh with all his brothers playing Rock Band. You should have seen them jammin'.


Madeline found Grandma's play-doh drawer. This was her favorite place in the house. Notice the little puppy that Aunt Kali gave her for Christmas. She never let him get too far from her sight.

Here are Josh, Lydia, and Joel preparing veggie trays for our traditional New Year party fiesta!!

The finished product!


This picture was to demonstrate the awesome room service we received from Joel. He let us stay in his room for a whole week and half AND he left us free rootbeers. We were reaallly lucky! :)


Here are Madeline and Alayna at Christmas time! You wouldn't believe it from othis picture, but they really did enjoy eachother. Madeline always says, "Laaayyyynnnnaaahhh," because she misses her cousin! :)


Kali is like the best ever!! Look at how cute she is with the girls!


Here are Josh and Coby doing what they do best... playing "BOND"! Stephani and I tried to avoid this scene all we could, they wanted us to play. Yuck!


Alayna, Madeline, and I are watching Barney!

Here is Madeline loving the bear that she got for Christmas.

A Treasure Hunt...and Christmas in Indiana

Josh and I were fascinated when we saw The Office where Jim put his coworker's stapler in jello. I wanted to try it, so here is Josh one evening at the beginning of December with his jello suprise...

Can't you sense his excitement?? :)


He finds a note...


A treasure hunt?? What??


Ok, he's pretty excited, he's almost found the prize...


WOOT! We're pregnant! We're having a baby around August 1st... I am 12 weeks now. :)

We had Christmas really early again this year, because we visited both of our families in Utah and Idaho. Here are some pictures...


Madeline mostly got books for Christmas. She LOVES them!


Here is me just looking pretty cool at Christmas time. :) Madeline thought I was pretty funny!


Here is our beautiful baby.


Here she is chillin' with my favorite stuffed animal from when I was little.

...Don't worry more Christmas pictures and Christmas Utah and New Year Idaho pictures are to come...
