Christmas Party

Now that my family is getting so big and we don't all get together for Christmas anymore we have started to do a family Christmas party. This year we went and stayed at a condo in Park City. We had alot of fun shopping at the outlets, playing games, eating, opening gifts, and just hanging out. I stayed the night with my parents the night before everyone came down. It was fun to spend some time with them. They finally got to see how fun Mylee is starting to get. Lots of BIG smiles as you can see in the pictures, as well as sticking out her tongue. It is so funny.

Thanksgiving

So we headed to Vernal for thanksgiving and spent it with Jesse's family. It was a busy weekend. Between thanksgiving, family pictures, two baby showers, and trying to visit other family and friends there wasn't a lot of free time.
I have a lot to be thankful for. Since we have had Mylee it has made me realize even more what is most important in life. I am so thankful for our little family. That is where i find my greatest joy. Mylee turned six months old over the weekend, and it has flown by. Her little personality is really starting to come out. She is getting so fun and cute. It is hard to even express the amount of love we have for her. It was good to see everyone in vernal, but I have to say that it is always nice to get back home and relax.

What a sweetie!!





Here are a couple of pictures of the turkey bowl the guys played in.

Dad's little cheerleader

This is Dad's favorite outfit. It was a birthday present to Dad from Mylee(with a little help from Grandma Julie). When the Broncos are playing on Sunday Dad likes to dress her up to cheer them on. He thinks she is their number one fan. Too bad her cheering doesn't help out a little more because they have been losing. But thats okay she still makes a pretty dang cute cheerleader.

1st Halloween

For halloween we took Mylee over to aunt Robin and uncle Waynes house. They made dinner, and we hung out with them. Its nice to have them nearby especially since we don't have a lot of family that live here in Salt Lake. While Jesse was on his mission in Chile Grandma Julie bought this halloween costume, hence she is a "chile pepper."

Catching up

So I finally got my blog started. I probably wont be very good at this because it is hard to find the time to do it. Its already been five months since we had Mylee and it has flown by. Everyone told me to enjoy every stage because it goes by so fast and I really have tried to do that. I have loved every minute of being a mom it has been the best experience ever. I didn't think I was ready for it when we found out that I was pregnant, but I couldn't have been any more ready now that we have her here. She is really starting to get fun. Her personality is starting to show, smiling, giggling, and demanding all of our attention. Its hard to imagine what life was like without her, she has brought so much happiness to our lives. Right now life is very busy for Jesse and I, especially for Jesse. Between switching places to watch Mylee so that I can work and so Jesse can also work and go to school, we don't have very much spare time together, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.
