Meltdowns!

So Isabella decided that she didn't need a nap today. After several meltdowns through the afternoon and at dinnertime, I took her to the store with me because I'd forgotten a couple things when I went earlier in the day. She fell asleep on the way to Target. She stayed asleep when we went into the store. She stayed asleep when I put her in the cart. She stayed asleep while I tried shoes on her. She stayed asleep when I put her back in the car. She stayed asleep the whole way home. She stayed asleep until I tried to lay her down on the couch. Then we entered meltdown mode again. Ken finally got her calmed down and she is now playing on the Wii Fit Plus. She likes the bird one and the skateboarding one. Here are some funny pictures from the store though.

Oh so sweet...

So last night, we put Isabella down for bed and were hanging out with Bryce in our room. He proceeded to spit up all over his pajamas. We took them off while we went to get some clean ones. He decided he really was excited about "naked time" and was squealing and laughing like crazy. Next thing we know, we hear Isabella crying. Ken went in to check and see what the problem was. She was upset because she thought Bryce was crying. She had to come in and see for herself that he was actually happy. So she gave him a kiss and then headed back to bed and was fine after that.

Cutie-pies

Ken took these pictures before I came downstairs this morning. Isabella really hasn't "held" Bryce since he was born. But its just too cute with them together in their PJs.





Its done! Its done! Its done! Below are pictures of an afghan I have been working on for the last year. Its a (belated) wedding present for our niece, Tiffany. She got married last Christmas and I finally finished this afghan this morning. I think it turned out quite beautiful, if I do say so myself. And yes, that is Bryce crashed out on the couch next to it.

Picture a Day

So a friend of mine told me that she was going to do this Project 365, where you take a picture and post about it every day. I thought it would be a ton of fun to do as well, so I set up a separate blog for my own Picture a Day Project. You can check it out at:

I hope you all enjoy this pictorial glimpse into our life.

Christmas

Christmas was wonderful. Its always nice to be able to spend time with friends and family. Christmas Eve was spent with Ken at work most of the day. When he got home, we headed out to deliver the last of our Christmas treats to friends. Then we came home to a dinner of chicken nuggets in the shape of snowflakes and snowmen. We had a nice Family Home Evening talking about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Then it was off to bed for the kiddies.

Santa was good to us this year. As you can see we had quite a few things under our tree. Isabella was very excited about the kitchen that she got from Santa (via Craigslist). She did actually stop to open some presents but once she got to a large Dora the Explorer pillow, she was done. That trumped the kitchen, until later when Dora had to be with her in the kitchen.






After we finished things up at our house, we packed up and headed to Ken's sister's house for the day. Isabella had a blast playing with her cousin Katlyn. That included "helping" Katlyn while playing the Wii.

Isabella freaks out whenever we try to do anything to her hair, however she stands perfectly still for Marcey to tie this on her head. Go figure!


We really are truly blessed by such great and generous family. We had a lovely day sharing the holiday with our loved ones. Now its off to play with all our new toys.
