Cristin's Bridal Shower

My cousin Alyssa and I hosted a Bridal Shower for our cousin Cristin. Here's some pictures of it.

Cristin, her mom, and her friend showed off the latest trends in Wedding Dresses made of tolite paper.

Here's a few of the many gifts she received

Backyard Fun

Today was the first nice day since Christmas, there was no wind and it's really not that cold. So today I decided to pull out one Faith & Logan's Christmas presents and set it up in the backyard. They're still having tons of fun with it.

As you can see I gave Logan his first haircut, this is the best I could get of it.

The Last Few Weeks

Yup you guessed it, Faith is being potty trained. She's doing very well. Here's her first "official" potty chart. Everytime she goes in the tolite she gets a sticker. If she goes #2 she gets 2 stickers and once it's full she gets an ice cream party. As you can see this one is full so I took her to DQ and she got to taste all the shakes and choose which one she wanted. Then she got to eat it all by herself. She LOVED it!

Here's Faith right before church on Sunday, it was her first Sunday wering panties. She's pretending to be a dog if you couldn't guess why she's in the basket. Lol.

I took this really cute picture of Faith when she was getting ready to brush her teeth. She wanted to stay in her Cinderella "jammies" all day long that day.

And it snowed!!! Can't see it very well but it snowed all morning Sunday (the one before last). Didn't get a picture of it after it stopped, but it stayed all day and night. Faith had lots of fun playing in it.

Babysitting

A few days ago I had my first taste of what it would be like to have 3 kids. My parent's neighbor needed a babysitter for a few hours and I happily volunteered. It was a lot of fun. Faith liked him a lot, she played with him, read him stories, and sang to him. Logan on the other hand wanted nothing to do with him and tried to jump, climb, or take his passi every chance he could get. I had to watch Logan like a hawk! If Jon and I do have another baby, I hope he/she is as well behaved as Aiden!

New Years Eve

New Years Eve we spent the morning/afternoon with my brother Brandon, his wife Jody, and their two kids Macie & Brody. Our kids had lots of fun playing together. Later that afternoon my sister Xandra came over with her kids. In the evening we went over to Grandma Grape's house and stayed there till Logan was too cranky to stay up any longer (about 9pm). We didn't do much after that, but it was fun visiting with all the family and talking about resolutions. It really made me think about how I want to be a better person this year, and a lot of things that I really want to work on and need to work on. I hope everyone's New Year was wonderful and I wish you all The Best Year of Your Life!
