Finding the Toys on the Jumperoo

Liam loves his jumperoo. He would jump all day long if we would let him. Just recently he has found interest in the toys on the jumperoo and has been able to start playing with them. I love seeing his little mind work and his little body starting to make connections.

Celebrating 3 Years


On Januanry 2 Jess and I celebrated three years of being married. What a great three years it has been. I can't speak for Jesse, but for me I have become a better person since being married. I love the opportunity to share my life with someone and become something better.

Wrap Up of 2009

Well, obviously I am not very good at blogging. The last thing I posted was in November. Although, I must say that it was shortly thereafter I started back to work and have not had as much free time. So I have included a pictures from events of the last part of 2009. We had a great end of the year.

I turned 27. It was the first year I didn't have cake for my birthday, but crunchy munchie bumpy cookies are just as good

.

Liam got his shots at his two month appointment. He did great at the appointment, but we had a rough night. He wouldn't even take his binky, and you know he is not doing well when he wont suck on that.



We had attack of the killer wasps in the kitchen. They were sprayed for in the fall, because we could hear them in the ceiling. Well silly us, all the spraying and sealing did was create a nice little house for them that they could not escape. I came up into the kitchen one day to find it swarming with wasps (this is no exaggeration). They had chewed through the ceiling and were coming out a screw hole in the ceiling. It was kind of scary, but we did have fun vaccuming them up.




Jesse and I had a junk food night. This was at my request. During the end of my pregnancy I thought it would be fun to get all of our favorite junk food and eat it while watching a movie in our pajamas. However, I couldn't do it at the time, because my stomach didn't have very much room. So, we did it in November, when my tummy had lots of room:)



We went to Disneyworld with my family. My Dad is really good about getting us all together to do fun things. My sister and her husband that live in Florida will be going to China next year, so this was our chance to get together. Despite the rain and cold (I know I too was wishing for warm sunny weather to escape our cold depressing winter) we had a great time.



My mom gave the Relief Society Christmas lesson. Jesse and Liam and I got to play the part of Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus. It seems rather silly, but I had some tender insights into Mary and her experience both giving birth and raising a child.



Liam passed the three month mark. He is such an adorable little guy.



Because of the Christmas season we had lots of family in town. Liam got to meet his cousin Cason and hang out with his cousin Oli.



Poor Jesse got a heinous jaw/tooth infection over the break. Needless to say Christmas wasn't very merry for him.



Christmas started nice and early for us, 6 am:) I'm not sure when the last time I opened presents that early was. It was fun to have Christmas as our little family. Liam is too young to get any of it, but it was fun to imagine what it will be like in the years to come.



New Years was more fun than I thought it would be. I'm not much for staying up late or celebrating New Years, but this year ended up being an exception. We went to a fun fondue party at our friends house and then came home to make bucket lists and funny faces with my family.
