Happy Birthday Jordan!

Yesterday was Jordan's 27th birthday...we are getting old! :) Jordan worked yesterday but told me that he had a great lunch with his team at work. After work he opened presents and we went to celebrate with a group of our friends at P.F. Changs. Delicious. We had cake and ice cream back at our house in the midst of playing Rock Band, which I think was his birthday wish and it came true! We had a great time. I hope you had a wonderful birthday babe!

And We're Back!!

I guess it's time to get back to blogging! I went into a procrastinating slump for a couple of weeks and I think it's time to get back to business. Maybe it was the loss of my sister to the MTC or the the week and a half of being homebound due to Maddie having pneumonia, or just wanting to stay on the couch, in my pj's and reading a couple of books! Who knows, but I have been enjoying everyone elses blogs! I do want to give a big Congrats to my brother and sis in law who had their second little baby, Grayson, on monday. He is just adorable and I can't wait to hold him!

These are just a few random pics from the last couple of weeks...

Is she not the cutest Sister missionary? :)

Madison has this new thing about loving to sit on the couch. The "Big Girl" part of her comes out when we pull her up. She loves climbing from one section to the next and thinks it's the greatest!

Mmmm...we love pasta!

I know Maddie is getting bigger by the times we have lowered the crib and sad to say we are to the bottom! She thought this was so fun having her mattress on the ground. She would get on then off, on then off, standing then jumping, laying then sitting... oh the joys of a child!

Here is Baby Grayson! So sweet.

It's Finally Here!!!

I had to share some more exciting news in our family and give another shout out to my other sister Brittney who just got her mission call to.... the Albania, Tirana Mission!!! What an amazing call, right! We were stoked to hear and couldn't be happier for her. Yes bittersweet because I have to say my goodbye's next week which I am totally not looking forward to but I know she is going to touch alot of peoples hearts over there. It was a quick call and she leaves January 23rd, only a little over 2 weeks away! I can't wait to hear her speak albanian and get her emails, it's going to be awesome! Love you Britt!!

Right next to Greece and across from Italy, could it be any more perfect?

This is the Abania flag, I thought it looked pretty neat.

3 Special Years

December 28th was the date of our 3rd anniversary. Wow where has the time gone!? It seems like yesterday I was getting ready with butterfly's in my stomach for our wedding that turned out to be a dream. And now here we are today living in a different state, out of school and have a beautiful baby girl. I think that is quite an accomplishment for both of us! We had a great night out celebrating by eating at Flemings Steak House and going to see the movie P.S. I love you, how appropriate right? :) I love you Babe!

Happy New Year!!

To say the LEAST we had a awesome Christmas! This blogging thing has made me keep a camera in my pocket where ever we go, so... here are alot of pictures documenting our vacation!

Jordan, my Dad, Brittney and Brandy all got to freeze at the BYU game against UCLA while we were there and they all had their BYU getups on. Even Maddie was dressed for the occasion!

Go Coug's!

All the girlies dressed fabulous for church on Christmas sunday.

As tradition, we always have a puzzle to do and as you can see my dad and I were the only one's left to finish it!

After tummies were full after a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner, us kids opened our yearly Christmas books and pjs.

Christmas morning!!! After distributing all of the gifts under the tree we go in a circle and open them one by one. Thankyou Mom, Dad and Grandma B.!!!

The Longboarding duo!

Brands got her iMac notebook, to say the least we didn't see her for the rest of the trip after she opened this one!

I was soooo excited to give this to my dad. My dad is the hardest person to shop for because he never wants anything, but this year I knew what I wanted to get him. He had been wanting a good, sturdy citrus press ever since we were in Cabo this past summer and couldn't find one. So to my luck I found one online and it was perfect!

Here is my cute mom with her new glasses.

Grandma B. got this beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple. It looks gorgeous in her house and I think she was pretty excited about it.

As siblings we always pick names and this year I got Brittney. Not knowing what to get her, I got this crazy idea to make her a scrapbook. It took me a couple of hours to make it (more like I stayed in my pjs for a week and Maddie was on her own as I threw her cheerios :) But I was pleased with the outcome and so excited to give it to her and I think she loved it.

As one of our presents we all got tickets to go see the show Stomp on the strip Christmas night. It was so entertaining and fun!

There is nothing like spending time with family. I love this time of year, how it brings family together with traditions, giving, and love. I am excited to see what 2008 brings for our family this year. Happy New Year!
