Snowfall in Las Vegas...

On Wednesday when I opened the door to get a package that was just delivered, I saw that it was snowing! It started off snowing very lightly. I didn't think it was going to last. At 2:30, we had Achievement Days, and were planning on going caroling and bringing treats to some of the members in our ward. Of course the girls still wanted to go, so we did. They had lots of fun! At every house we stopped at they would play in the snow, and eat it, and throw snowballs at each other. The snow just made it seem so much more Christmassy...if that's even a word! Of course I forgot the camera to take pictures of them! I was so bummed! After I got home...still shocked to see it still snowing, I had to get a few pictures of Landon!

Now if only this would happen again on Christmas day! I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...

Does your child...

Does your child ever do this while eating?

Mine does! I was feeding him green beans, and was looking down at the jar and scraping the sides. I got the spoon ready to put in his mouth, put my head up, and he was sleeping in his high chair! Crazy kid!

Trying out photography

Back in October I got a nice camera. Paul told me if I got it that I could only get professional pics done every now and then. I think it was worth it. Today Paul and i went to town square to take family pictures. I think we did a pretty god job! What do ya think? I just love Landon's hat and tie. He's such a cute little boy!

Sunday

Last Sunday was a bit different than the usual  Sunday. Usually we go to church from 9-12. Last Sunday I threw my very close friend a baby shower. I went to church at 9 and left at 10. I came home and finished the remainder of the cleaning I needed to do. I iced the cupcakes, and at 12 my friend and her mom came. We finished setting up for the shower, and at 1pm the shower began. We ate lots of food and played lots  of games! After the shower was over, we went to tithing settlement. We came home ate some dinner, then went to the cactus garden to look at Christmas lights....it was free, so we thought it would be a nice Sunday activity! Here's the pictures.

This is the banner and vinyl boards I made for the shower. To see better pictures go here.  I had to use the TV to hang the banner because every other place that the banner would look good was being occupied by Christmas garland.

Here's my mom and me at the shower.

From left to right: Tiffany, Ashley (mom to be) and Me. We've all been friends since junior high.

Landon and Me at the Cactus Garden.

There was a Santa Clause chair so we sat on it and took a family picture.

Landon on Daddy's knee.

Here's Landon crawling around when we got home.

He found the balloons from the baby shower and crawled around with them.

They were stuck on his foot, he loved it. He crawled around the whole downstairs with the balloons, just as happy as can be.

Sick

I'm sick today =( One of my favorite things to have when I'm sick is Chicken Noodle Soup! How about you?

Also, I thought I'd give photography a try! Check out Lanier Creations to see some pics I took of my friend! Let me know what you think!

This is the newest addition to my Etsy Shop. It's a Christmas Countdown Calendar. You move the magnet to the day of the month. Let me know if you are interested in one of these!

Tis' the Season

Monday night we bought our Christmas tree! I love the smell of a real tree! Mmm! We ended up doing our Christmas decorating when we brought the tree home. 

Here's Paul driving the tree home.

Landon getting into his presents from Aunt Havy.

Paul setting the tree up inside.

Landon got a present from Aunt Havy that said to open while setting up the tree. It was a cute baby's first Christmas ornament. This is Landon looking at his ornament after us helping him open it.

Then he wanted to eat it....surprise, surprise!

His ornament on the tree.

This is me decorating the tree.

I love this Merry Christmas banner. I found it at Thai Pan the last time I was in Utah.

I put wreaths on the back of my chairs. I love them!

I bought this Santa head a few years ago at the Gatehouse, in Orem. I just love it!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying this Christmas season!

Thanksgiving Vacation

We spent our Thanksgiving in Arizona with Paul's family. We arrived Wednesday night, and we left Sunday night. We had a great time hanging out with family. We ate good food (way too much), shopped, played uno and Parcheesi...and I'm proud to say, I beat Paul's dad every time! That's a rare occasion! Paul also went elk hunting with his dad and sister. Here are some pictures from our vacation!

Our family on Thanksgiving.

My drooley baby!

Paul found a caterpillar and showed our twin nephews...they loved it.

Landon and his second cousin...they are 2 months apart.

He loves to see himself in the mirror. It excited him so much!

Here's Landon as we were packing up...he was trying to crawl out of the house!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
