January

I can't believe January is almost over.
My friends Wendy, Lesley, and Amber decided to go to the Discovery Museum at the Gateway. While we were there we tired to take a picture of the 8 kids...this is as good as i could get. It was a fun adventure.


Us three on a fake horse...we are cowgirls at heart.


We took the girls bowling for the first time. Carley loved it.








Carley and i went rode the carousel at the Provo Beach Resort.

We got free tickets to watch a Utah Flash basketball game. Carley met the mascot the Flash Fox at Boarders and loved him. She asked where the fox was the entire game. The funny part is she can't say the "x" sound so she said fok...which sounds like the "F" word. We could not stop laughing.

Carley has used the potty sporadically. We haven't gotten serious about potty training yet but i think we will next month around her birthday.

We had a visitor for a week. This is Emma. She is Joel's stepmom's dog. She is really well trained and Carley LOVES her. Carley mostly loves having someone to boss around and feed. It was a fun week.



I think these two are going to be best friends. They love each other so much already.


I promise i do Carley's hair about 15 times a day she just takes everything out of it.



I love this little picture of Bryn...such a smile! She is such a happy girl. Especially when she gets her dad all to herself.

We also lost someone very special to us this month. Joel's Grandma Ginny passed away. We will miss her very much. She had the most tender heart. We are glad she gets to be with her beloved Bob again.

Bath time

We love bath time at our house. Joel was giving Bryn a quick bath before church and Carley was feeling left out so we put her in the other half the sink. Carley loves taking care of Bryn. She is such a little mama.




Melt my heart...it doesn't get any sweeter than this.

Christmas

I didn't take many pictures on Christmas. We had a great day. We started the morning with Joel's dad...nice and relaxing. Then we headed to Joel's mom's where all the kids gathered. We opened gifts. Joel got a huge box of fortune cookies...some of you will be getting these re gifted to you soon.


Carley got a ton of new books. She mostly jumped on the mini tramp and made monkey noises. She loved opening everything and making a big mess. Bryn slept through everything.

Then we went to my parents. Carley and Bryn got new clothes that are so cute! I can't wait to dress them.

My little sister did a half marathon dressed as wonder woman Carley was obsessed with the tutu from the costume. She wore it all day and looked so cute.

My mom made the girls beautiful soft blankets entirely out of minke. We all love to snuggle in them. I love the giraffe on Bryn's. Carley got a baby to take care of.

What a great Christmas. Lots of family and fun. Lots to be grateful for.
