Temple Square

We went down to walk around Temple Square last night. We have tried to go for the past couple years but it has never happened so this year we set a date and we went. It was sooooo cold and we forgot the stroller but other than that we had a lot of fun! Daxtons favorite part of the night was riding the elevator in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building but looking down on Temple Square from the top floor was pretty amazing.











I had my camera on the wrong setting so the pics didn't turn out great but if you click on each pic, you can see it better. Sorry, still learning!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

I can't believe it! We finally got some snow! Granted, it wasn't a lot but hey - beggars can't be choosers! I really love it when it snows and we have not had any so when I looked out the window today and saw that it was snowing, I bundled up Dax and took him out to play in the little bit there was.


Nice moon boots Napoleon!




Trying to catch snow flakes on his tongue! How does every kid naturally know how to do this?

Haircut Day!!

Nate gave Daxton a haircut today and I had to put these pics on to show off the new do! He always looks like such a little man when his hair gets cut. I look at these pics and it makes me sad how fast he is growing up and then I get so scared thinking about having a brand new baby to take care of. I swear, I have forgotten everything already.






This kid is so dang entertaining, we are constantly laughing at his little quarks. (except for when he's nasty, then it's not so funny!)



Some of you may be wondering why it is that you can actually see my pics now instead of blurred faces on fuzzy bodies............well, I got my Christmas present early and I LOVE IT!! I have been telling Nate forever that I wanted the canon rebel and I really didn't think it would happen but what a Christmas surprise. He gave it to me early so I could take all of our fun Christmas pics with it and not that piece of crap I was using! Anyway, I know some of you have this camera and if you have any tips about using it, I would really appreciate it!!

THANKSGIVING

So I know that I haven't done much with our blog lately (sorry, haven't been feeling too hot) but I thought I would at least write about our Thanksgiving. I didn't get any pics but so much went on! This year was Thanksgiving with Nate's family (we rotate every year) and we had dinner at his sisters house in Farmington. We spent most of the day there and stuffed our faces with some really good food including perogies which is a Sumko family tradition and sooooo good! Anyway, the best part was the day after. Every year I go shopping the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) with my sister and my mom (and sometimes Krystal when we can convince her!). It's tradition and we love it!! My cousin got married on Black Friday this year but that didn't stop us, we just had to get up earlier so we could be ready to go to the temple after our shopping extravaganza. Anywho, we got up at 3am this year!!!!! Crazy I know, but so much fun and so worth it! You should see us, we are running and dodging people and at one point this year my shopping cart was up on one wheel! We got everything we needed and there were no injuries so it was another success! So yeah, we had an awesome Thanksgiving and an even better Black Friday! :)

Jazz Game

We went to the Jazz game tonight and I had never taken our camera before so I thought it would be fun to get some shots of Nate & Dax in all their glory. Daxton gets so excited when we go and it is so fun to watch him yell for the Jazz. He loves it whenever the bear comes out and when the music comes on he busts a move!






Nate, Daxton & Thurl Bailey! Thurl Bailey used to play for the Jazz and we saw him walking around during half time. He touched Daxtons hair and told him that he liked his Andre Kirilenko hairdo. YIKES!! Nate was so excited I had our camera and he thinks this is the neatest picture we now own. Wow, my husband isn't obsessed with basketball AT ALL!

Girls Night Out!

So, this weekend was too much fun! I got together with my girlfriends from high school and we had a ball. We left the kids with our hubbies and we went and spent the night in Park City and went shopping at the outlets. It's always so fun to get together with these girls and we all needed a night out and away! We didn't get to sleep until 3:30 am and then we woke up at 7:30 am to get ready (sorry girls!) and I am still paying the price.


Janae won the award for most original pj's! Not really but we had a lot of fun teasing her. ;)


This was the condo that we stayed at. Me, Katie & Stacee slept on the pull out couch and yes it was the most comfortable thing we ever slept on!!

Helena getting ready at our sweet set up in the kitchen. The condo only had one bathroom so we had to get creative with the vanity areas.

The whole group at the outlets! Sorry, the quality of pic is horrible.

The best part of the whole trip was staying up late and laughing about the remember whens (and yes a little humiliating as well)! I love getting together with my friends and I always leave wondering why we don't do it more often. Anyway, thanks girls for the night out - it was a blast!

and then there were four..........

Well, baby number 2 is on the way! I think I am about 8 weeks along and my first appt is tomorrow so I will know more then. It happened a lot faster than we thought it would (about two weeks after I got my IUD taken out) but when these babies are ready to come, they come! I have been pretty sick which everyone says is a good sign but I never got sick with Daxton so this is a whole new experience for me. I don't think Dax understands, when I tell him I have a baby in my belly he tells me he has a baby in his belly.
Anyway, we are so excited and feel so blessed that we are able to get pregnant and have kids! What a blessing it is to bring these little spirits into this world.

Trick - or - Treat

Here are some of the pics from Dax trick or treating! It just gets better every year and Dax was actually excited to go this year! He couldn't understand why he could only take one peice of candy each time so that was fun.


Dax with his cousins!

The hat didn't last long.



By the end of the night, he was wiped out! He kept saying to Nate, "I want to hold you daddy!"
