Cole and I got married in September of 2006. Currently he is working for Mountain States Lineman Apprenticeship and we are kind of in limbo as far as a permanant residence goes. I am a homemaker and mom to our beautiful girls, Brooklyn and Jenna. We enjoy spending time together and being outdoors.
I finally was able to pull Brook's hair up into a little piggy. You can barely see the ten hairs that are in her elastic. But they are there. I can't wait until I can really do some fun things with her hair. She even sat pretty still while I did it. I hope this is a good sign for the future hairdo's.
We stayed home for New Years Eve because Brook has had a hard time getting over the flu and a nasty cold. We played games and played on wii. I didn't get any pictures of that but I did get a picture of my little cheeser. You can't tell she's sick in that one, but she had papa's glasses and knew she wasn't supposed too. For New Year's Day, Dad and Ryan went and got the horses and we went sledding around the neighborhood. It was so much fun. Brook even got in the action and looked like the stay puff marshmallow. Too cute!!
I know I am not the only one who feels like this, but every time I peek in on Brook while she is sleeping I can't help but think I have the sweetest little princess ever. She is soo darn cute and innocent while she sleeps. I love my little monkey!!
We started Christmas morning around 1:00 a.m. Brooklyn woke up with the stomach flu and threw up most of the night. We decided since we were already up we might as well open presents around 5:00 a.m. (I think, the lack of sleep had an effect on my memory.) Anyways, even though Brook was so sick throughout the night she loved what she got from Santa. Santa brought her a Fisher Price Learning Table, tub toys, M&M's, and Orange Sticks (her favorite). After playing with her toys from Santa she opened up the rest of her presents. She really had fun and was so excited for everything she got. She even packed around her clothes. We had a great Christmas at Cole's parents house. I felt guilty cause Cole spoiled me so much this year, but I was so excited when I opened my last present and got a Wii Fit. I love it!! I have the best family ever and they are my world. I am so glad Brook felt good enough to open her presents and enjoy Christmas.
This year our family had our Christmas party two weeks before Christmas Day. I don't know why, but for some reason I had a hard time feeling like it was Christmas time this year. All of my family were able to make it to the party and we all went to church together that day too. It has been a long time since our whole family has been able to make it to sacrament meeting together, but it was nice to have everyone there. After church, my mom fixed up the most yummy dinner. The kids were all so anxious to open their presents and Brook even got into it a little bit. After all of the gift giving we played King Elephant and had so much fun. I laughed so hard that my abs were pretty sore the next day. I was sad to see everyone leave after the festivities, but we all had a great time.
