So much!

We had a fun weekend! On friday evening I went and visited my friend from nursing school who just had a beautiful baby girl! I didn't take a picture because I was enjoying holding the beautiful little one! I made her this vinyl name picture:

I was excited to give it to her. I think she liked it. That night we headed over to Jen and Troys and played Wii. We had a tennis tournament. I lost bad! I was not very good at all! Poor Troy got stuck with me. It was a great time.

On Saturday we played as a family for awhile. We got this fun video of Regie dancing! Now let me just say that I know I look like a big dork! I was dancing with her. But the video is cute because of her!



Saturday afternoon my parents came over fpr a few minutes and said hi. Then Gary, Regie, and I met up with the Jensen Family and my parents and we watched Kayden play basketball.














As you can see Grandpa was feeding Regie Mt. Dew and sour patch kids. It was fun to watch Kayden play, he did a great job! That night Gary, Troy, Jen and I went out to dinner at Sakura (LOVE THAT PLACE)and than we went bowling. Brittany came and watched all the kids, thanks girl!!! We had a lot of fun!! I do really suck at bowling!!! Here is the only picture I took all night:


I had to change my sign that I made because HO HO HO doesn't really fit after Christmas so I made one that is more universal for none holiday times of the year. You will have to tell me what you think.


I have been debating selling my vinyl name and quote signs and the season sings so if anyone is interested let me know!

Sunday Troy and Jen came and kidnapped us and we went to lunch and did a little shopping and rented some fun Wii games. We played them all afternoon and evening it was great! Thanks for the FUN weekend Troy and Jen we had the best time!! I will beat you guys again at cooking mania and mario party 8!

Prize From Jen and Moulton Family Visit

I got my great prize for Pay It Forward from my sister Jennifer awhile back ago and I love it! It is perfect, so I thought I would share a picture:

It has her wonderful recipe for her sour cream sugar cookies, which I love!! It also has these cute cookie cuters!

And this really cute towel to hang on my stove!

My favorite part was the little note she put on it which said:

Congrats on winning my Pay It Forward!!

I hope you can enjoy this and use it to make some sweets for the sweethearts in your life!

Love-Jen

I think I might make some yummy cookies tonight! Thanks Jen!

Speaking of Jennifer, she is selling some dang cute bows that she is making! They are really cute and they look great in her daughters hair! You should go check it out! Here are pictures of some of her bows!




I am going to buy some for Regie...she just needs to grow some longer hair!

My wonderful cousin who I love so much (Elisa) and her family stopped by today on thier way to Boise. Bryce and Hyrum are the sweetest little guys! I love that they took the time to come say hi to me! Thanks Moulton Family! I took some fun pictures:






And because I love her so much, here is a picture of my Regie girl!!

The video I was talking about!

The video works!!! Yeah! I love this video so much!! Especially when she looks through my legs and laughs at me!!! We love this girl so much!!!

I think she is getting good at the whole walking thing, well she is getting better anyway! We are proud of her!

Things I want to remember about Regie right now! And a yummy turkey dinner!

***She crawls all over right now, but she doesn't bend her elbows. So she reminds us of the little elephant off of the jungle book. Her arms go out way in front of her for each step. And if she gets excited and wants to go fast her legs go a little faster than her arms and she starts crawling sideways. It is very cute. Yet, if she wants to go really fast she gets on her stomach and army crawls! She cracks us up.***
***She has been in no hurry what so ever to walk. She stands up to everything, and I mean everything. But she doesn't trust herself to walk alone. She much rather crawl and get places faster. She will walk along couches and her crib, and even walks with her push toy but that is just for fun. Just tonight she walked along with me holding onto my pants. It was great! The best part about her standing up to things though is that for awhile there she couldn't get back down. She would get upset and complain to us until we would help her down. She has gotten better though she now just bends in half and gets to the floor that way!***


***She is the biggest pack rat. She always has something in both hands. She has to take things with her everywhere she goes. I have even seen her stick things in her mouth so that she can carry more, or she wants to crawl faster. That girl is full of it!***

We love that girl so much!! Tonight I made a wonderful turkey dinner! We had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and corn! It was great! Gary and I figured out that it only cost us $6.00 a person for the meal, and that included even the butter and milk! It was a little under $18.00 I think for the whole meal. And it was enough for four people. We have plenty for leftover turkey sandwhichs! Even Regie girl liked it. Well let me rephrase that, she liked it when she was feeding herself. She did not want me to help! So we gave in and gave her the fork. She loved it! She was a mess afterwards but the bathtub wasn't too far away! It was a nice dinner. The best part is that we sat up to the table to eat it. Now I know how strange that sounds, but we usually feed Regie and then we make our plates and we sit on the couch and eat, and visit, but we aren't at the table. Well tonight we made all of our plates and put her highchair by the table and we ate as a family. It was great! We are going to pay more attention and do this more often! Life is too short not to enjoy each other. Here is a picture of Regie girl eating dinner!

Here is one last picture of our beautiful girl. She just got out of the bathtub! She is the best ever!

(I have a video of her walking with me while holding onto my pants but for some reason it isn't loading right tonight! So I will put it on here as soon as it works for me! It is a great video!)

Burley Trip

Last night we headed to Burley to meet with Gary's parents, Erin, and Addison to enjoy dinner. It was alot of fun! Dinner was very delicious! Here are some fun pictures I took.


It was so good to see them all. We have missed them very much!! I love that we could get together with them!

Afterwards Gary dropped me off at the high school for a few minutes so that I could watch Abbie perform at her halftime. She was amazing! The whole team was so put together and it was awesome to watch! I snapped a couple of pictures.


She got sick afterwards, but you could never tell by the way she performed! It was great! It was a fun evening!

Fun News!

YEAH!!!!!! We are finally building a house! We decided on friday, and the way it sounds is that the hole could be dug in the next couple of weeks!! It will be done around may-juneish! I can't wait! I am so excited. We both are! We have gone around and looked at houses to see what color of rock we want to do on the outside and fun stuff like that! We are loving it!

Last night Gary and I went on a date! It was so much fun! We went with Troy and Jennifer to dinner and a really good (sad) movie! The Bucket List! Must see movie! It was nice to go and enjoy my husband! We all had fun I think, we laughed alot! Regie was well taken care of by Brittany, who if I may add is one of the best babysitters out there! She is so patient and good with kids! I love her! Here is a picture of the three of us before we left for our date!

New Pictures

Today we went and had Regie's one year pictures done. I think they turned out cute. She was such a sweetie!!

Tutu

My friend Jenni just put a picture of her beautiful daughter wearing a new tutu on her blog. It is so cute on her. So I finally did it. I went to the store today and bought material and made Regie one. I have been wanting to do this for awhile now, especially because of this blog. This photographer is amazing! I would have her take pictures of Regie in a heartbeat, but she is based out of Utah. Maybe one of these days I will go visit my cousin Elisa and have her go with me! But here is what it looks like one my cute girl:

Now I need to go get her one year pictures done! I can't wait!
