Merry Christmas!!!

So we had a great Christmas and I hope that everyone else did to. We spent Christmas out to Kearns with Matt's parents. Eli had so much fun seeing his cousins and spending some quality time with his grandparents and aunt and uncle. Eli was way beyond spoiled this Christmas, that's all I have to say.

This is Eli with his cute cousin Zander. I have decided that Eli is really short. Zander is almost 9 months younger then Eli, but by this picture you wouldn't be able to tell that.

Aunt Heather, Grandma Gaye, and Eli on Christmas morning. As you can plainly see, Eli was not quite ready to wake up yet, but that all changed as soon as he realized that Santa had come to visit him.

Heather just being Heather. This is what Justin gave her for Christmas, there was some comic value to this present although I'm not sure that I ever got the full story.

Heather and Justin looking oh so cheery on Christmas morning

Randy loving his Bronco's jacket that he was given from most of us. He loved it.

A very cute picture of Eli and his Grandma Gaye. She just loves this kid so much.

Don't ask me where this face came from. But this is one of Eli's new outfits and he just looked really cute in it.


Eli got a new karaoke machine from Santa, and needless to say, Santa knows this kid all to well. Eli was loving life as he was singing Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog at the top of his lungs. It made Mommy's day.

Daddy and Eli playing with Eli's new Treo set. We were a little worried that he wasn't going to be quite strong enough to pull these apart, but he did just fine.

All in all, Christmas was amazing and we had a great day. My amazing husband gave me a new camera and that pretty much made Christmas perfect. I got to spend some good quality time with my family, my husband and my son. The day was amazing and that's about all I have to say to that.

Once there was a Snowman...

A while ago we were tending my brothers kids and we decided to build a Snowman. I honestly think that this was Eli's first "real" snowman. He thought it was great. And have I mentioned that this kid loves the snow. I don't know how kids have this adrenaline rush that keeps them from ever getting tired, and helps them to never get cold. OOOOO to be a kid again.

Puppies Puppies Puppies

Yep Folks, that's right, These cute adorable little things are for sale and they are ready to go now. I do have to say, that has by far, been my favorite litter that we have ever had. They are so much fun and potty training this bunch has been so much easier then it was with all the other ones. I'm not exactly sure what we did so different with them, but we have just been so much more successful. They are 8 weeks old and eating like champions. Their mom is a pekingese / chihuahua mix and we are not exactly positive what the father is. My sister was dog sitting for us and they came home from church and well..... We kind of have a picture of him, if anyone is interested. Not a great one, but it is a picture. We think that he was a mini terrier, but not really sure on that either. We have two boys and two girls. Please let us know if you are interested or would like to see them. Joni May 801-949-8907. They are located in American Fork, but make frequent trips to the Delta, or Salt Lake area.

Lara's Christmas PALS Performances

Lara had numerous PALS performances throughout the month of December. I have lots and lots of pictures and videos, but I just thought I would post a few to show what fun she has with this group. Also, what fun we had watching her. Love you Lara.

Eli loves the Snow..... LOVES IT

Last year Eli didn't really care so much for the snow, but his year, I had to MAKE him come in the house after about 30 minutes out there because his cheeks were flamming red and his face was so cold. But he sure didn't seem to mind. And honestly once I started taking off his snow clothes, I found out that he was really warm. His hands and his head and his feet were so warm. I should have just let him keep playing. He was way warmer then I thought he was. He was crazy. For some reason he would just dive down into the snow and play.
