Christmas Time...

Our Family

Sabrina loves playing in the snow...as long as she doesn't have to wear snow gear

 

Bri had fun running around and smelling all the Christmas trees

 

Me and my girl the Sunday before Christmas

 

Making sugar cookies with grandma...so much fun

 

Christmas morning :)

We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  Our families were so good to us and it has been wonderful spending time with them.  We've had Anthony's Dad and my brother Scott with his wife Necia in town and it has been so great to see them.  Anthony's grandmother passed away just before Christmas which was our only sadness and we had time apart while he attended the funeral - I missed him so much and was soooo glad when he returned.  We love all of you and hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

October : Part 2...Happy Halloween!

We went to the pumpkin patch and it was so cold - Sabrina still had a good time even though our hands and noses were red and chilly

Bri LOVED the tractors.  We moved from one tractor to another and she was in heaven...she was very upset when we had to go

 

She was way into the pumpkin goo...her pumpkin scoop was in that bowl playing around until I got too sick of being splattered with pumpkin goo and seeds

 

My cute little fairy bug :)

 

Trick or Treat! Bri was not into the trick-or-treating until I gave her a piece of candy and made it known what it was all about...once she realized what was going on she got into it and even made herself comfortable in a few homes.

October was super busy with lots of fun stuff.  I always love the holidays and how many fun family things there are to do together.  I am excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year...Sabrina is a little more aware of things and it makes it just that much more fun.  Anthony is super busy with school and he can't always be there for everything but he sure does try and we love him for that :)  Crazy stress and crazy fun all at the same time for our little family right now, but we're grateful for each other and for what we have.  I will try to stay on top of the blogging through the holidays...wish me luck!

October : Part 1...

We went to Gardener Village and let Bri run around the Hay Maze

 

Sabrina loves running around Gardener Village, but she was not a huge fan of the witches this year...they freaked her out a bit

 

We went to This Is The Place after breakfast one Sat. and Bri loved opening and shutting the door of the small houses - here she is with cute cousin Tessa

 

She loves running around and away from me :) -she quite enjoyed the fallen leaves

 

I think it's funny how much she enjoys wearing her blanket on her head...sometimes she walks around the house with her face completely covered - I'm surprised she doesn't have more bruises

Our September...

We went to Lava over Labor Day weekend and had some good ol' camping fun.

 

Sabrina's first 4 wheelin' experience

Proof that we actually saw fall leaves on our canyon drive...

 

We had tinfoil dinners after our drive to see fall leaves - next time we'll be a little more careful with the dinners...they got a little overdone, but still very tasty :)

For some reason it won't let me write under my photo of our sister-in-law Necia and Sabrina.  Necia came to see us over Labor Day while she was in town and it was so nice to see her...we miss her and Scott so much.  I started feeling better in September and so I thought I might be more on top of the blogging but I was wrong.  I get to spend 4 hrs. in the hospital today to do a glucose test (yuck!) so I will have the chance to catch up on the last couple of months.  I think September was my best month because I finally started feeling better and my back and stomach didn't start killing me yet.

Finally...

We had lots of swim fun this summer...

Evidence of how messy Anthony's PB&J's are...

We finally got Bri down in the sand...

I thought that Bri would love the sand up @ Pineview but not so...

24th of July fun with the Layne's...

Well, pregnancy sure does a number on me, my last blog was about the time I started feeling sick. Hopefully, I will do better from here on out. Above are a few pictures of our summer fun. Unfortunately, we spent a lot of time indoors since I didn't feel well and Anthony was super super busy with work and school. Crazy times...

Fun Family Time!

I should have taken more pictures of Bri and her cousin T the other day...they had some really cute moments together. I took a couple of shots of them chilling out together after our walk - they were both glued to Baby Einstein :)

We had a Smokin' Meatfest at my brother Steve's this last weekend and Bri got her first go with sidewalk chalk...good times!

May Days!

Cinco de Mayo fun...

...at The Mayan!

Bri loved the lambs @ Gardener Village

Chocolate is YUMMY!

Bri and me on Mother's Day...

May has been a fun month for us so far...Anthony finished up his semester at school successfully - YEAH!!! I haven't been able to go into work which kind of stinks for money purposes, but it's been nice to be home for a little while with Sabrina and try to get her on an actual nap schedule. It's been nice to spend time with Anthony too when he's not at work we can all hang out and have fun together. Bri has loved spending extra time outside...we took her to Gardener Village and The Gardens at Thanksgiving Point (I forgot my camera for that one...so sad) and she just loves being outside and seeing new things. I am still trying to make it very clear to her that she has to walk outside...no crawling...the little stinker must think that crawing is better...still...Good Grief!!!!
