Welcome Home Elder Morgan!

My little brother Dusty came home from his mission on Monday. He was in Macon, Georgia. It was so fun to have him home for Christmas! He's heading up to Utah State in 2 weeks- so look out ladies! :)

Oh the life of an 8 month old.....

Carmyn Jayde is 8 months old and on the go. She loves to crawl as fast as she can and stand up on everything sturdy enough to hold her. She is starting to cruise along the furniture- which makes me nervous because she has no coordination yet- which leads to multiple bruises on her head. She is very vocal and loud. she say's mama and baba all day long, then she has her own language for everything else she talks about. Chad and I are working on doing some simple sign language with her which will hopefully help her out with the screaming thing she does when she wants something:) We are amazed at how fast she is learning everything ( which most parents are amazed by their own children )- she makes us laugh constantly! We love you Carmyn!

HooRaay for Chad!! He Graduated last friday! He graduted with his Tech Sales degree from Weber State. It's been a long road of taking classes here and there, but this last semester he got really dedicated and decided to take 22 credits so that he could hurry and finish. He did it- along with working 40 plus hours a week. I'm quite proud of him :) Now comes the fun part of sending out resume's to find a good sales job! He's hoping to get in the medical field- so we'll see what happens....

Let the Christmas Festivities Begin........

We started off the festivities this season with a gingerbread house making contest with our friends Kody and Megan! Unfortunately my awesome North Pole wonderland did not win- but I did recieve most creative! Chad got best in show with his 3-car garage rambler! Megan won best entry way, and Kody won most clean frosting lines. It was a fun filled night topped off with wassal and chocolate cake! Saturday night we went and sew the Odyssey Dance Companies production of "It's a Wonderful Life". They do such a good Job! Our good friend Jackie Guimond dances with the company and is nice enough to get us free tickets to all of their shows! We have been loving them all!

Its a Wonderful Life

tUrKEy dAY !

Yummy Turkey Day!! Lots of thanks to my mom for the wonderful meal. We had a great time eating, playing games, watching movies, and hanging out with the babies :) The cousins-Carmyn and Elijah- had a great time getting to know each other. Carmyn was a little rough with her cousin- but I'm pretty sure he'll be getting back at her soon :) My brother Nate and his wife Kristin came down from Washington for the week- It was so fun spending the week with them! Oh and I had to post a picture of the babies and their hats- they're pretty cute!
