Chopped

I have hair A.D.D. Really though I can't have the same hair for longer that about 4-5 months. But it's hair right? It always grows back and is so fun to change.

AFTER

14 Weeks

January 19, 2012 I hit 14 weeks. I need to start getting some shots of my growing belly. I hit 15 weeks this last Thursday and a patient at my office asked how far along I am without knowing beforehand I was pregnant... I guess I have popped out.

Little Get-a-way

January 13, 2012 Jamey and I went to dinner at Sushi Groove.. really great place if you like Sushi. After we went down to the gateway and saw a light show at the Clark Planetarium. It was so great. Then we headed to the Anniversary Inn for the night. It wasn't far, just down town but it felt great to get a way for the night. January comes and it's so rough.. the let down from the holidays and the cold weather (without any snow) just isn't my favorite. I love you Jamey!

Reflection.

2011 Came and went, FAST! Time just goes by so quickly now it's really amazing! It was a great year but we sure are looking forward to 2012... probably because of the little/huge addition that we will be having.

Christmas Morning!

CHRISTMAS MORNING 2011. Oh how I LOVE waking up on Christmas. There is a sparkle in the room and it's quiet and everything is still.. Until the kids come in and OPEN PRESENTS!!

We make the kids wait until everyone is up and everything is good to go.

We gave the boys some new shirts.

The madness

My Mom's Amazing whole wheat bread recipe is in the new "The Gathering of Friends" cook book volume 4. Exciting! It really is such great bread, so light and fluffy.

I could GOBBLE this man up

Mar and Steve gave everyone marshmallow guns so all the boys had a war out back.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! Yes it is on Christmas Day. Thank you so much for all that you do for us, your one amazing Mom and we love you so much!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve 2011

Saturday December 24th was Christmas Eve. I woke up, throwing up that morning and had the flu.. Awesome. My family was nice enough to let me come over that night and sleep over still. They had a big dinner then the Nativity.

Mel was in charge of getting all the children ready and putting them into action.

Mary and Joseph

Wyatt doing who knows what?

After we had a little talent show. Ashley played her violin, Kate and Crew sang a duet, and Bryce sang. It was a great Christmas Eve despite being sick. I love being with family.

The Lights

Friday December 23 The Slater family went down to temple square to see the lights. It was our on year for Christmas this year and it was a blast! I love the holidays when we all get together, make lots of delicious food, and just relax.

Kate and I

Crew needed to barrow one of my scarfs.

Mr. Crawford

The loved red tree.

I could eat this Bennett up!

My sister Melanie has a BEAUTIFUL voice. We talked about how awesome it would be if she just got up in the middle of temple square and sang a Christmas song.. talking turned into doing. Great job Mel!

The Hubby's 24th!

Friday December 16th Jamey turned 24! We woke up in the morning and I surprised him with our first baby appointment. It was so great, we got to hear the quick little heart beat and we both cried. Later that night we went out to Bonsai for dinner with the Walker's and then to the new Sherlock Holmes movie. It was a very fun night.

Party Hats

Don't mind our hair.. there was no other way to keep on our hats.

Sunday December 18th we had 3rd Sunday dinner at the Airhart's and celebrated all the December birthdays. Jamey, Finn, and Greg. (Devin too but he lives out of state.)

Tuesday December 20th we celebrated again with the Slater's. I just forgot to take the camera. Thank you everyone, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMEY!! I love you.

FLOW

Saturday December 3, 2011 we went to Flow Rider with Jordan and Mandy. It was our first time and it was a blast. Jamey and Jordan rocked it!!

Some great falls

By the end of the hour they had it down!!
