Christmas 2009

Well, Christmas is come and gone. I can't believe it. It seems to come so quickly, and then it's here and it goes way too fast. I wish it could last longer. I could do with more 'Holiday Cheer'. Music, food, family and friends. It's just the best.

We had a wonderful Christmas. We spent the first of December in Idaho with Denny's side of the family. We had a wonderful time with family! We did a sibling gift exchange at Sheri's which was fun! We had a lot of fun with everyone.

Then we spent Christmas Eve over at my sister Julie's home. Which was great. She made a wonderful dinner and desert. We did a gift exchange and her kids opened their EVE gifts and it was really fun. They were fun to watch. Tatelin was happy to help Jayden open hers. :O) So cute. We spent the night there and watched their family have their Christmas morning and then went over to Traci's home and watched them open gifts. Then we came home and our Christmas morning it was about 1 or 2 :O) We had a really fun day and got some great things.

We enjoyed giving gifts this year and were blessed that we had money to do so. Denny is still without a job so it was amazing all that we were able to do.

Giving Thanks

I can't believe Thanksgiving is here! I swear we just had it! Amazing how fast time flies by.
Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for. I'm grateful for my little family! So wonderful. I am also grateful for my bigger family, and all my friends. We are so blessed to have all of you in our lives.
I just love the Holidays. Such a fun time of year. Thanksgiving is just so fun to get together with the people you love and enjoy some wonderful food together!
Jayden is just as fun as ever!! We love her!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Hope everyone is having the best Thanksgiving! We love and miss all of you we couldn't be with! (For those in Idaho, we will be there in 1 week!! :O) YAY!! We can't wait!)
I'll post pics hopefully later today!

Jayen 8 Months old!!

Jayden is 8 months today!! Amazing! She is just so fun, and growing so fast. She wears 12 month clothing and has for a month.

We went to see New Moon on Friday and Jayden did great in the movies! She took a little nap. Ate some snacks, and watched some of it too. When the movie was over a couple walks by and the guy said and I quote "Best baby ever!". :O) She really is! It was great.

I just can't believe how quickly these past 8 months have gone! We are excited for Thanksgiving, and the shopping the day after! We should have all of our Christmas shopping done on Friday! That will be nice! I don't even have very many things to get! YAY!!

Loving being a mom

So I love being a mom! Jayden makes it so much fun. She is changing and growing so fast. Sometimes when she wakes up in the morning or from a nap she looks completely different from when I laid her down. It's so crazy.
She does lots of new things and she says Mama, Dada, Nana, Baba. Of course just the sylabols. She has said dada for a long time, and I LOVE hearing mama! It's just the best. She doesn't crawl yet, but she scoots around on her bottom and makes her way around the room, she eyes something that she wants and she scoots her way to it. It's adorable!
Hmm.. what else does she do that's new?? Her laugh is so sweet. She has been laughing for a while, but I don't know if I ever posted about it. It's just the sweetest sound. Denny can really get her laughing. So cute.
Just had to post about how much we love our little girl. She is our little entertainer. I could watch her forever!
Oh! I almost forgot! Jayden CLAPS! So funny. I just say YAY! and she starts clapping (well almost everytime), she smiles and starts clapping and gets so excited.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween! Jayden was a cute little pumpkin! Jayden and I passed out candy at our Stake Trunk or Treat. It was fun! I was out of candy very fast though!! We had Julie and her kids and we also had Traci's kids with us! It was lots of fun! They had fun at the Trunk or Treat! So fun! :O)

Denny's 27th Birthday!

Denny Had his 27th Birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!!
(His birthday was actually on Wednesday the 21st)
We had a fun day. Denny and I went to lunch and to a movie (actually we ate lunch in the theater). Then we went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with my siblings. Chris, Jon and my Dad weren't able to come. We had lots of good food and some yummy cheesecake!
Jayden was watched by her Grandma Bland while we went to a movie! It was nice not have some time by ourselves.
On Friday night we had a surprise party for Denny! It turned out great! Denny had no idea! It was themed after an episode from 'The Office'. So fun! All thanks to Traci & Brandon, it was their idea and they had it at their home. It was so fun, Julie and her kids came! It was so fun.
Denny got a couple books, a case of ROCKSTARS, supplements and a gift card! He had a great birthday! Thanks to all who made it an awesome day!

Teething

Jayden has been teething. She has her 2 bottom teeth that are coming in. :o) I can't wait until they are out farther. You can hardly ever see them now because she always has her tongue out. She is just too cute! Ha!
She is 6 Months already!! Time just goes by so FAST!
She is 26 inches and is 18 pounds 8 ounces! Big girl! :o)
Also she has been eating rice cereal for about 2 months and has tried squash and carrots and loves them both!
