Christmas

Where is mine?



Wow this holiday is very different when you have a kid. He is still too young to understand what is going on. He did know what to do when he saw a present. It took him awhile to tear the wrapping but he liked it. He is starting to smile at the camera when he sees it, even if we are not ready to take a picutre. He starts to smile and the starts to squint his eyes and laughs. It is so cute. We went over to Blake's dads house on Christmas eve had dinner and opened presents. Jaxson was so cute and wanted to "help" everyone open thier presents.



We went to my mom's on christmas morning and had breakfast. It was great to see all the little kids have so much fun with eachother. Every year there is at least one more grandkid that is added to the bunch. It was our first year in two years that we did not have to wait for Bryce to call from Australia. It felt a little strange not waiting for that phone call.

Bentli observing all the other kids

Aili loves to hold Deron.




We went to Blake's moms house later that day and had dinner and hungout. It was great when Kelley and Josie arrived Jaxson handed me Deron's present and said that he could open it for Deron. I love this little kid and how smart he is! He knows how to get what he wants. It was a great weekend to be with family. It could have been better if we got to see my dad but they wanted to wait until Chantell had her baby to come up. Deron was spoiled, of course and loves all of his toys.

Christmas Party

We had my mom's family party the other night and Santa came. It was Deron's second time seeing him and both times had the same ending. He was so interested in him unitl he was on his lap then he would cry. Then as soon as we got him off Santas' lap he stopped crying, of course!




This is the face he made while starring at Santa.

This is his crying face. It took him awhile to start crying so we left on Santas' lap for awhile until he was really crying hard. His face was so cute we could not help it.

This proves you are never too old for Santa.

Bentli and Aili. Bentli did not like it but Aili had said she was not scarred of Santa this year.



It did take him awhile to open the present. Hopefully he understands what to do with a present, or it will take all day for him to unwrap his presents.


Loving his new toy!

Tech Savy

One night Blake, Deron, my dad, and I were sitting on the couch. Deron loves to play with everyones' cell phone. He got a hold of my dad's and by no time this is how he ended up with it. He got on the phone downloaded an app. Got on google and searched for AK47 yes the gun! What is he wanting to buy? It was so cute though how he was laying and just minding his business playing with the phone.

GRADUATION

Wahoo it finally came! I am finished with my Bachelor degree. I graduated December
10th from Weber State. It feels so good to finally be done and to not have to think of school for awhile. I am so thankful to all my family and friends that helped me through the last year and a half. Thanks to everyone that watched Deron while I went to school and worked so it was possible that I could work fulltime and go to school. It may have seemed like nothing to you but it meant a lot to my family! Thanks again to everyone and you are deeply appreciated! It will be nice to spend time with Blake and Deron and not worry about school work that needs to get done!

Having Fun

We went to Blake's dads a few days after Thanksgiving and had dinner. The two little ones were finally awake at the same time so we put them together so they could play with eachother. Deron is the one that is always going after Landon. It is so fun to watch them interact and laugh together.

I love how they are holding hands.


Now I want to eat your hand!


Landon was leaning on Deron most of the time. Deron had no idea what to do or how to keep both of them sitting up.


What that is my teething ring!

I will show you!

Yep that is right I wont hold you up anymore!

Thanksgiving

We went to my family party and had fun. Bryce and his fiance Cherise were able to come up from St. George. It was a blast to see them! We are so excited that they are getting married! Deron spent most of the time in his walker running around the gym and bumping into everyone. We hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!

PICTURES

Here are a few pictures that I love of Deron. He is getting so big and learning new things every day. I love to see the amazement in his eyes when he figures something new out. Deron is rolling all over now and is running around in his walker. When he is in his walker he chases the dogs around the house or out the dog door. The dogs do not like the walker every time it comes out they run to the dog door. Deron has so much fun playing this game and trying to catch them before they get out the door. This is a daily occurrence.

I don't know what was going while this picture was being taken.
