Merry Christmas! Yeah right :(

Well we were on our way to Utah, the night we left Alivia had a fever and didn't sleep very good, took her to the doctor the next day as we pulled in to Utah and she had Strep! ugh, so mad and it was down hill from there. Although we enjoyed seeing everyone it was really hard going in and out of the doctors office and Alivia not being herself. Lots of prayers and priesthood blessings that week! We were glad to get home and feeling better!

But we were excited my dad and step mom were sealed while we were there. Thanks to my good friend Kristy, Stu and I were able to go.

Happy Birthday to me! and it's a BOY!

I had my ultrasound on my birthday what a nice surprise! We were able to get a clear view on his gender but he wasn't letting us see his heart so we had to come back in 6 weeks to have another ultrasound. Though those pictures were alot better of our exciting news. They didn't give me a disc so this is the best I could do!

Heather comes to live with us!

Okay so this actually happened before Halloween, but Heather called me up asked if she could live with us, and I couldn't tell such a sweet girl no, she moved in that weekend. It was a good learning experience for us and Heather brought such a sweet spirit into our home. Heather is in the black, the cute girl on the left is Charly her friend.

Amber stays for a week!

I was spoiled to have Amber come stay with me for a week! We had a great time, taking care of Alivia, making a countdown calendar for Christmas and got a massage! It was really fun to have some one on one time with Amber!

Thanksgiving

We decided to stay home again this year for Thanksgiving, We had alot of fun with friends, and lots of good food!

First Hike with Alivia

So one Saturday morning Stu decided to let me sleep in... I woke up to him getting home from the store where he made a great purchase, a backpack to carry Alivia in while we hike! We love it, she loves it. We had a great time!

Our First Camping Trip this year!

We have had the opportunity to do alot of fun things lately..We finally took the camper out with some friends. I was nervous to take Alivia I didn't think she would sleep well. She did awesome...until I decide I wanted to snuggle her and went I got her out of her pack-in-play, stupid move on my part. oh well she went back to sleep after some time but she took up the whole bed because she likes to sleep kneeling down so it wasn't much cuddling. Then we woke up the next morning and went for a hike the kids did great! I was impressed my friend Jen carried Kayden on her back! There is no way I could do that with Alivia.

Happy Father's Day Stu!

Stu's first Father's Day! I can't believe how time flies by, Stu has really been a great daddy and husband. He loves this little girl so much and Alivia loves her daddy too! It is cute how excited she gets to see him when he gets home!

Tornado hits Billings!

Lots of company and a trip to Utah

Memorial Day Weekend Stu's sister Alison and her adorable family came to visit. Marissa the youngest wanted to help take care of Alivia all weekend and it was fun to see her try. Alivia is almost as big as she is! While they were here the boys went fishing and the girls shopped! Everyone had a good time. Then we went to an indoor water park because the weather wasn't that great and over to our favorite restaurant Rib and Chop House it was a great weekend! On the way to Utah we went through Yellowstone Park, ate lunch and took a walk around some hot pots. WE had a Black Bear Cub cross the road in front of our vehicle, pretty exciting! Thanks Alison and Brodie for letting me follow you back to Utah!







Utah was great, always to short Alivia and I visited alot of family...but didn't get to see everyone. sorry :(
We went swimming, to parks, shopping, and out to eat and visited with family!
Thanks to everyone who let us stay at your places!













I got home just in time to put away a few things and get ready for Jd and Callie and their cute girls to come play. We had a great time with them. Events that took place were fishing, eating, shopping, and swimming and don't forget UNO! Stu actually played a card game. Alison and Brodie started the battle of Speed UNO and Stu liked it so much he decided we should share this exciting game with JD and Callie. It was great.
