While wraping gifts this year I just couldn't help my self! Isn't she cute!!
Merry Christmas All and Happy New Year. 
To our friends and family who we are away from this time of year we miss you and love you very much and hope to see you soon!
We wish you could be here to celebrate the season with us!
We wolk up last saturday to a beautiful 8 inches of snow! We tolk our family pictures that day because it was so beautiful outside. We are so excited to be back here in Utah and be able to be back in this weather!
It snowed so hard that day. We ended up having over 20 inches that day of snow fall and we enjoyed every minute of it.
What a wonderful day!
Oh Erin just loves her Daddy! She loves to sit and play with his arm hair and giggle at him. She loves to snuggle with him and watch the pretty lights on the TV :) Oh and Daddy so loves his lil girl!! She is getting to be so spoiled. Thanks Jeff preciate ya :)
After all the Turkey and shopping Gramma and Erin crashed on the couch. What a day!
Yum Yum! We went up to the cabin to celebrate Thanksgiving w/ the family. We had so much fun talking and playing with the family.
Erin had so much fun w/ Uncle Bryan, Gramma & Grampa Great, Gramma & Grampa, Uncle Clay & Aunt Jamie & all the kids, Monte & his girls, Uncle Mark & Aunt Debbie & Ashley, Brian, Spenc, and Dallas! We missed Sharon, Ammon, Gracie, Brad, Tiff, Kaydee, Bay, Harmony & Pawel. We sure do wish you could've been we missed you so much!
Our lil Erin is reaching for stuff now! She loves her lil bouncy chairs toy cause it sings to her :) she also loves to hold onto her blankets and grab for her rattles. she just loves her toys :) Oh i can't believe how fast she's growing up.
I'm almost sitting up by my self! Daddy loves to hold up Erin and she's gotten so good and steady while sitting on Dads hand. She just loves it too, smiling and giggling the whole time.
well it's official, Erin no longer takes a binky! we now have alittle thumb sucker. even though we should stop it now, man she's cute when she does it :)
She's rolling over now everytime we put her on her belly.
She's not there yet with starting from her back.
Every morning when I go to get Erin for her first feeding Erin always greets me with a big smile. She also now likes to talk to me when I'm changing her diaper. :) it's so funny!
I couldn't believe it! There Gramma was feeding Erin and all of a sudden Erin was holding the bottle her self. I am so grateful that I can be home to watch her grow. What a wonder thing this lil life is.
Mommy loves you Erin
We were able to have almost all the cousins together for Halloween!
Cute lil Gracie was a "punkin", Ammon was a skeleton & Bay was a Zombie. Lil Gracie though was scared of Bay's fase paint and so kept her distance :) that's why she's not standing right there in the picture :)
This was Erin's first Halloween and the start of her first Holidays! She was so cute in her lil bear costume! We didn't keep her in it all night, poor lil thing was way hot in it, but hopefully it will still fit her when it starts getting really cold out. Coco, Jeff & I were U of U fans... kinda lame, but it was all we had since we just moved & all. :)
We are lucky to be able to be around our family. Erin gets to be with her cousins here in Utah and will have so much fun playing with them when she gets older. We sure miss Kaydee though!
Erin, Ammon & Gracie had so much fun swinging w/ Jeff & Grampa! Ammon's got his goo that Gramma's good friend brought for him. Gracie wasn't havin any part of it though! She wouldn't go near it and kept calling it icky! She's such a cutie and is soo smart!
Erin got to hang out w/ her two Aunt Jackie's! Aunt JB came all the way in from Saint George to see Dude who just got home from Iraq!
Gosh she's gettin so big! Erin can sit so well now and also loves to stand! You have to help her balance, but she loves to push herself up. She's a strong lil girl! She sits on the couch,
in fun lil chairs,
and in her bumpo! i just can't believe how big she's getting!
Erin loves the cabin. She's such a cutie and we had so much fun hanging out w/ Gramma and Grampa Great. We watched the deer come by, went cabin hunting, and had a blast playing cards.
Dad really enjoyed fishing with Grampa Great. They were out fishing only for an hour and caught their limit! They really hit a hot spot!
Erin got to meet her Momma's friends. They were all so nice and spoiled the crap out of her :) Something her Mom's way too good at too :) lol! it's too easy to find way cute clothes for girls! Very dangerous :)
The Day before Erins blessing it snowed! This picture is up in the mountains, but it snowed in the valley too! I love Utah!
We have been blessed w/ such a happy baby. Erin is always smiling and so happy when she's awake. Only when she's hungry is when the poor lil tears come. Our lil cutie has the cutest expressions too. I've just loved being able to be her Mom and getting to experience her growing right before our eyes.
We're proud of ya Dude and are glad you're home!
