PrOjEcTs!!!!

Spencer's room is finally finished!!! It was so much fun to do and he loves it! Grandma Nielson even bought him a new bed for his birthday as well. It was an early birthday present for him so of course we had to put it up!! He loves his room and plays in it all day long but getting him to sleep in it, is going to be the next challenge!!!

Another project I have been working on is a diaper cake. My first one yet and it was so much fun! They are way easier then they look and I was so intimidated by it but once I got going it was a breeze! Good times! Here is the picutre of the final project......

Christmas is done and here we are in 2010!

This was Spencer on Christmas afternoon at Grandma Nielson's house!!

Spencer was so excited that Santa didn't forget to stop at our house!

This is what Santa left for us here on lake street!

Santa even at the cookies we made that night for him. He also wrote on Spencer's new crayola marker thing that Auntie gave him that night too!! ONE SPECIAL BOY!!

As you can see Christmas went very well at our house. Sorry it has taken me so long to post anything. It's been busy with loved ones around and in town! For New Years we stayed home and had family and friends over. It was fun! Playing games and laughing is the best way you can say goodbye to the end of the year bring in a new one!! It was been an eventful past year and we hope that this new year will bring us cheer and happiness!!!

Christmas is coming!

It's been a long but yet fast year! I can't believe that next week is Christmas already!! I have finished my christmas shopping early this year and I am so glad I have the time to sit and just look at everything going on around us. We have been so blessed this year and yet have had some really hard times as well. It will be a hard christmas for us all without Grandpa and Grandma but yet it will be a good christmas knowing that it's our Saviour's birth. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I hope everyone else has a very MERRY CHRISTMAS this year!! Here are some pictures that my friend April took for my in laws and I. It was so much and I love how good she does!! As well more pictures to come of my family as well.

More Crafts!!

It's my sister in law's wedding tomorrow. So I decided to make her a little scrapbook that she can put some of her wedding pictures in. It was fun!! I keep saying I am going to make me one each time I do a different one! Here it is.....

Canyons!

Yesterday for family home evening we went up little cottonwood canyon and went on a hike to find a cave. We found one but it wasn't the one that we were hoping for. It was so much fun! I forget how beautiful it is at this time of year and enjoyed looking that the colors of the leaves and just smelling the fresh mountain air. Spencer had a good time until it was the time to hike back down and he kept saying "This is boring!" Here is some pictures from our hike. Yes I know the dates are wrong on my camera. I always forget to change it!

Lots has been going on!!

Last month has been a doozie for our family. We got back from California and were trying to prepare for another vacation to Marysville UT. My grandma got sick three days before so we didn't get the chance to go. On Saturday Sept 5th things turned for the worse and grandma didn't get better. It was around 3 pm that she returned to her sweet heart of 67 years. We miss her and the atsomphere around here is so different now that Grandma and Grandpa aren't here. It's hard to think that they are gone. It seems like they are just on a vacation. It's been two weeks almost since Grandma has been gone and we miss her and love her so much. The funeral was very nice and at the same time it seems like a repeat since we just did it three months ago. So grateful for the gospel and what it teaches us with being with family for all eternity. We love you Grandma and Grandpa!!

San Diego!!

We had way to much fun in San Diego. We went to Sea World and it was so much fun!! Spencer loved watching Shamu and touching th star fish. If you ask him though this would be his most favorite part of the day which is getting his face painted. He is suppose to be half hulk half human. It was fun watching the process to the final project.

One night we went to Belmont Park and let the kids and kids at heart run wild! It was fun to watch Spencer get excited about the rides this year and see him go on the rides. It's always fun to be close to the beach as well.

Spencer thought it was fun to dig a whole and stick his toys in the sand. The fun part was when he didn't remember where he barried them. So it would be fun trying to find them! He also got used to the water and loved swimming with his life jacket. He thought he was big stuff when he could go in the deep part of the pool.

Fun times at the beach. Bethy and Kyn showing of there smiles!! We had way to much and can't believe it's already been and done as well. We miss you California counsins!!
