Family

I love the holidays because we get to spend it with family and friends. We are so blessed to have so much love around us. We spent Christmas Eve and morning with my family in Orem. It was so fun to see how excited Oliver was when he saw the tree on Christmas morning. We got to talk to Derek on Christmas morning. he is serving a mission in the Philippines. He is doing great, and it was fun to hear his voice. He gets home in June WooHoo.
Christmas afternoon we spent at the McQueens. We were spoiled this year, because Matt and his girls from Colorado were here, as well as Jordan and Sierra. Love them all. We went sledding and skiing in their yard which was a blast.
We were able to ski at Solitude over the break. It is harder to get up there, because Brad still can't ski, and I am super prego. Brad was able to take Oli on a couple runs. Oli kept sayin, "I ski fast." The snow was fantastic and I was happy to get in a least one ski day before the babe comes.
I have about 6 more weeks until our baby girlie arrives!

ALOHA

Thanksgiving was a dream this year.

We spent it in Hawaii with the McQueens. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to vacation the way we do.

I can't believe Oli has already been to Hawaii.

HE LOVED IT!

It was so fun watching him play in the ocean. He loved to watch the surfers and now has a new obsession. First skate board, then bike, now surf...I can't complain.

Brad was a trooper. He just had knee surgery so he couldn't do much. He never complained. He is the best dad. He is so helpful and spends so much time with Oliver. Oli has so much fun with Brad. Oli and Brad caught a wave together. I think Brad was more stoked than Oli!

Thanks Roger and Jill for the amazing time. We are so grateful for all you do! We love Hawaii and I can't wait for the day when I can go back not PREGO.

Halloween

Guess Who??

2 years!!!

Wow! Time goes by so, so fast. I can't believe it was 2 years ago this little guy was in our arms... NOW HE IS CRUISIN!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIM!

California

Tyler, Brad, Oli, and I went to California over our Fall Break. It was so fun spending time with Jordan and Sierra. We miss them so much, and will be so excited when they live closer! Until then,, we love visiting.
For those of you who know me well, I fall asleep very very easily. But, I must say that I am a car driving champion! The last two California trips we have taken, we leave at 8:00 p.m. and drive through the night. There is no better way to travel with a kido. Oli slept the entire drive.

Rampage

The Red Bull Rampage was yet another epic weekend. The event was awesome, the people we were with... even awesomer. We love spending time with family and friends doing activity. Jabs and Sis met us from California, which is always a treat.

I was able to get one last bike ride in before my belly gets too big. Yes, that's right, I am pregnant-- due the end of February..yeehaw! Anyways, on the ride Brad and his bike had a little encounter. The bike won, and took a chunk below his calf. It was deep and he needed stitches. Jordan and Sierra performed the operation on a patch of grass at the grocery store parking lot in La Verkin. Sierra is a P.A. and Jordan is in training.

Brad is a tough dude, and had 4 stitches in his leg with NO pain medicine.

morning routine

When Oliver wakes up in the morning, he goes to the computer and says, "bike".
