A Visit From Family

Jody's parents and sister and her little girl (we missed having you come Jon!) came to visit the second week in January.  We had a wonderful time having them come.  We went to a dinosaur musuem at Thanksgiving Point while they were here.  It was a lot of fun.   Below is a picture of Will with Grandpa Jack smashing a penny.

There is a place in the musuem where you can dig through sand and play in water.  Will had a good time doing both!

This is Will and his cousin Annie playing in the sand.

In the gift shop my sister-in-law and I found oysters you can open up and dig through to find pearls.  We each bought one and had a good (although smelly) time looking for pearls.

We loved having everyone here and hope to see everyone again soon!

Wedding Pics

Here's a couple pictures from the wedding.  On Mary's side she has 19 nieces and nephews all under the age of 6!  It was quite the time trying to get them all to stay and smile for the picture!  Andrew and Mary are loving being married!

 

New Year......Time for a new look!

I found this awesome site.  They have really fun and cute backgrounds you can put on your blog.  After looking I decided it was time to change our blog's background.   Here's the address if you want to take a peek at the backgrounds.  http://www.simplychicblogs.blogspot.com/

Busy, Busy, Busy

It's been awhile, but we've been busy.  We've had Christmas, two birthday parties, New Year's, a wedding, and a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Lane, and Aunt Stephanie and Annie all within two and half weeks.  Will post pictures soon.  Hope everyone is having a great new year!!!!

Awesome Deal!

I've gotten into using coupons when I go grocery shopping.  Its fun to see how much money you can save.  Here's a great deal I found.  This week at Albertsons if you buy 3 boxes of kellogs cereal, you only pay 1.67$ per box.  And if you go to this site www.Kelloggs.com/value you can print off 3 coupons for a $1 off a box of Kellogs cereal.  So in the end you are getting a box of cereal for $0.67.  Awesome!!!

Happy Holiday Season!

A couple weeks ago Will and I went with some friends to visit a farm close by.

He loved seeing the animals and running around.

We were excited to get our tree up this year.  Will got right in helping his daddy put the tree together.

And he loved putting ornaments on the tree.  In fact I'm still finding him taking ornaments off so he can put them back on. :-)

"And the stockings were hung with care...."  I've had a hard time finding stockings that I loved and that I was willing to spend money on (because they can get really expensive), so I decided to try making some.  We went to a fabric store one family night (before Thanksgiving) and spent some time trying to find fabric that we liked and that would match.  I was finally able to finish them the other night.  I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out.  Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

Catching Up :-)

It's been awhile, so here's what we've been doing......

Will loves to help in the kitchen.  One of his favorite things to do is make cookies.

We had the opportunity to visit Temple Square before it got too cold.  Will loved running around seeing all the lights.  

Santa came to our ward Christmas party and Will wasn't too thrilled with Santa.  He didn't want to get close.  But as Santa was leaving, Will was more than willing to wave and say "Bye-Bye".
