Something New and Exciting.....

We're having another baby! Our little bundle will be arriving sometime in August, the nice hot dead of Arizona summer....! We are excited and hoping things will continue to go smoothly!

Cousin Time

Chris' sister Tiffany and her family live in Utah so when they came into town for Christmas we tried to let the kids play a ton. We went to Chuck E Cheeses, the science center, and got some updated family pictures done. Everett had a blast at Chuck E Cheeses, way more fun than I thought he would have. 

(Pictures are in reverse order than I named above!)

4 Runner Fun

A few months ago Chris found a pretty cheap 4Runner for sale. We had been talking about getting another car so me and E aren't stuck at home when he goes to work, it has ended up being really nice. We have taken a few little day trips to see snow and things that aren't in the Phoenix Metro Area. We team up with Heather and Kevin, which makes for a pretty fun time. Chris likes to keep his beard scraggly like a mountain man. Heather and I end up with LOTS of super cute pictures of each other. Nephi ran away, Preston chased her, then decided to try and brave a giant hill on his bike... to no prevail. We then found Neph curled up under a big bush shivering like a crazy.

Holiday Festivities

For Halloween we borrowed a costume from Heather, a sweet little elephant. The Saturday before we played at Heathers ward trunk or treat. And then on actual Halloween we went trick or treating with Heather, Kevin, and their kiddos. It was a fun first Halloween and the candy was definitely worth the walk!

We spent Thanksgiving Day with the Baker side family, and then spent the rest of the weekend at Tiesha and Lee's cabin in Heber. It was a nice and relaxing way to spend the holiday.

Christmas went by way too quickly. We helped set up Christmas lights at the temple a few weeks early. We did a pre Christmas Eve the Sunday prior with Chris' family, Christmas Eve with my family, and Christmas day with both families. It was crazy. Everett didn't get a ton, he didn't need much. A few toys, jammies, and some sippy cups. He loved it all and we had a blast watching him enjoy it. 

New Years Eve we did a little bon fire with some of my siblings. It was fun, as usual. We ended up getting home right around midnight and we were all SO tired. Not too eventful but we are glad to have started another year together. 

Watching Ev grow is amazing me more and more. He will soon be a whole year old, and I can't wait for the many more years we have with him.
