Christmas Vacation: Christmas Morning with the Belnap's

It was so fun watching Crew open his presents. Tearing off the paper was his favorite part. He hardly payed attention to what was inside. Once he had one present unwrapped it was time to grab another from the pile. I'm pretty sure he ended up opening everyone's presents. 

My very talented mother-in-law made me the cute apron and place mats.

Christmas Vacation Day 1: Christmas Party

Grandpa and Grandma Nelson hosted their annual Family Christmas Party. We ate delicious food, shared stories and laughs, played Fishy Fishy, and listened to Brinlee & Sheldon sing us Christmas songs. Thanks G & G for the fun night.

Still Growing

I am now 23 weeks pregnant. Yeah, a little over half way through. I now enjoy heartburn, kicks to the bladder, ridiculous cravings, swollen legs, aches and pains and my favorite, waking up at least 3 times during the night to pee. 

New Adventures

Crew experienced a different kind of park today. No swings or slides were involved. Just a whole lot of climbing, running and jumping. There was so much to do and it covered such a large area, that for the first half hour he ran from one thing to the next, not even stopping for a second to enjoy what the object was all about. 

Anytime Crew sees a table or in this case the giant rock, he thinks it's there for him to give a speech. So when he got to the top of the rock, he held out his arms and started yelling out to the whole park. Then he'd clap for himself. It's cute and all but when he thinks its the greatest thing to do and he wont climb down, it becomes a problem.

Thanksgiving in Idaho

We spent the weekend in Idaho with both mine and Dev's family. Thanksgiving day was spent at my parents cabin where we went ice skating on the frozen lake, took naps, played games, watched movies, sat in the hot tub and of course, ate, ate and ate. We both have such fun wonderful families, the weekend couldn't have been spent any better way.

Birthday Boy!

Crew got to spend his Birthday in Idaho with his favorite people. He got spoiled like crazy and is having a blast playing with every gift. I made his favorite, an airplane cake. Crew didn't attack it like I thought, he got really embarrassed while everyone sang so he made me and Devin blow out the candles. He didn't even have a bite of it, he was way too distracted by his new toys. I'm pretty sure that now he understands what the Birthday thing is all about.

TuRnInG 2

My little boy turns 2 next week and I can hardly believe it. I took these pictures of him a couple of months ago and just from then to now it seems like he is a different boy. I could list for hours the things he does and the reasons we love him, don't worry I won't. But I will say he has been nothing but entertainment everyday and has taught us so much. It's been so fun watching him become his own little man and I can't wait to see how he sprouts over the next few years.

Jason and Eliza Ruys

We traveled back to Idaho Falls this weekend for my sisters wedding. Jason was dashing in his suit and Eliza made such a beautiful bride. They couldn't have picked a prettier day, everything turned out just as planned. We're so happy for them.
