He's growing up so fast!! We just love him so much and it's so fun to watch him experience life. He had his first friend birthday party this year and absolutly loved it!! We had 12 little superheroes here to celebrate, we made capes and masks, played pin the S on Supermans' chest and did a superheroes save the day scavenger hunt. They had a blast, and I was exhausted... however that night before Ayden went to bed he looked right at me and as sincerly as a little 4 year old can say it said "Mommy thank you for my birthday" and right there I knew we'd do it all over again!! </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRfUyh1_WolXT_PSni_dGOW7-L_Hla2oUX_Lk20WmSmb8Kc8vV0sAlZODQOWw5LUKUKC95-ICJPb2l5oGDa6R8ejBMHdmaznagJuONDtG8F13ZOb3C2VsonK7fBVzhZZ8tSZp-sqXHco/s1600/DSC_0115.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 268px;

First off here is a few pictures of the Allen Family Christmas Party Nativity. Ayden was Joseph and Madison was Mary. Gavin was baby Jesus. I didn't get any pics of Gavin in the craddle which was way too small for him, but <a href="http://kropfs.blogspot.com/">Carly</a>, Sean's cousin did so check out her blog if you'd like to see. Ayden was also in the ward christmas nativity that evening, I need to bug some neighbor friends for pics. The kids were adorable however!!<br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tPfCp9ugq1QmjhjCpvEmTfE2_28cNAyUsfvdVs9NEWp9MDQMZv3GlKWjEwt1XTvaJBj8fQmJ0VHmm-5dmZeu5ink8jM61Ib_B3cZkQkSmwm4k2aF1HNIT3ah67onTLhiN9tRiACdv2s/s1600-h/edit+mary+%26+joseph.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 387px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416257003852333858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tPfCp9ugq1QmjhjCpvEmTfE2_28cNAyUsfvdVs9NEWp9MDQMZv3GlKWjEwt1XTvaJBj8fQmJ0VHmm-5dmZeu5ink8jM61Ib_B3cZkQkSmwm4k2aF1HNIT3ah67onTLhiN9tRiACdv2s/s400/edit+mary+%26+joseph.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH62_MPZFaOodyIMgcNUklKAcOVjZi6der7Ob-7INIWJ1ZbfVEBJ1OEPyTd1eaRkdorQ7GvS_dUOhSnlikTvgHXyRQqq5_xV3bZX7ur_jFeT95NKTLFlHQwt0u73-k89io8LJDy2iJSGY/s1600-h/edited+sheperd.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 291px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416257014836220370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH62_MPZFaOodyIMgcNUklKAcOVjZi6der7Ob-7INIWJ1ZbfVEBJ1OEPyTd1eaRkdorQ7GvS_dUOhSnlikTvgHXyRQqq5_xV3bZX7ur_jFeT95NKTLFlHQwt0u73-k89io8LJDy2iJSGY/s400/edited+sheperd.jpg" /></a></p><br />Also Ayden wrote a letter to Santa that was adorable so I thought I'd share...<br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dear Santa,</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"> Jesus is a little baby. I love him. I want to say don't forget my house it's the one with the lights. We'll leave cookies and milk on the counter for you. Astronaut boy and dinosaurs and a robot would be good. Please leave presents for Gavin under our Christmas Tree.

We recently returned from a trip to Moab with Sean's parents which was a blast. It was the perfect time of year to go, not to hot and not to cold. We went on some awesome hikes, and Ayden and Gavin were both such troopers. Ayden even did a 2 mile hike without being carried at all!!

I can't believe how fast the last three years have gone. For Ayden's birthday we planned a fun filled weekend down in Salt Lake. We visited the Aquarium, went to dinner at the Mayan, had a little pirate party and went to the zoo. Unfortunitaly while waiting for our table at the Mayan Ayden got sick (all over the sidewalk) and so Sean had to take him back to my parents house and he missed out on the divers and bird show. His Aunt Candis had set up a cute little pirate party with balloons and banners for him there and he just laid in Sean's lap telling him how much he loved his pirate party. Poor kid. He was however feeling well enough to venture out to the zoo the next day and he loved seeing all the animals. (He looks pretty happy in this pic ecspecially considering the previous couple of hours).</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWtvPtTL1NCIefVwsApl9ejS9M6u_84e1rAIpFNELJ9DKBdQEWSSfLdq5_5MU2Xa12TlswjAQzH5hoBD2RV0UGwoffLdNlxnD56UzdeOhUsckqk00D_0uI2JWjz78fnso-nWn16tAl10/s1600-h/Ayden+3rd+birthday.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389613818191630146" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWtvPtTL1NCIefVwsApl9ejS9M6u_84e1rAIpFNELJ9DKBdQEWSSfLdq5_5MU2Xa12TlswjAQzH5hoBD2RV0UGwoffLdNlxnD56UzdeOhUsckqk00D_0uI2JWjz78fnso-nWn16tAl10/s400/Ayden+3rd+birthday.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Currently I'm recovering from a Cornea Transplant Surgery. Many of you know that I have a degenerative eye disease called <a href="http://www.nkcf.org/about-keratoconus.html#">Kerataconus</a> and that it's been messing with my vision for several years now. The doctors decided that my conditon had gotten bad enough to warrant a cornea transplant. My name made it to the top of the list and they were able to find me a viable cornea a few weeks ago. I can't begin to tell you how indebted I feel for the sacrifice that a perfect stranger made in my behalf. My vision in the eye that has been corrected is already improved to 20/30 while the remaining eye is worse then 20/300. The other day I was cooking dinner and looked across the room to see my little Gavin watching me smiling and I just wished that I could tell this person, and their family how grateful I am. The impact that they have had on my life is tremendous and I feel so lucky that I'll be able to pick my son out of the football huddle now, or see the expression on their faces Christmas morning (I know it sounds cheesy, but you don't realize how great it is until you don't have it anymore). So a big thank you to all of you who have signed up to be organ donors. Just know that your sacrifice won't go unappreciated. </div><div></div><div>Our family has many reasons to have thankful hearts right now, LIFE IS GOOD!!</div></div></div></div></div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-17970069602835129152009-08-10T18:14:00.000-07:002009-08-10T18:44:30.266-07:00Catch upI know, I know, it's been forever since I've posted, life is crazy and that's the best excuse I can come up with.

They've started construction on our house which we are so excited about. I know we're big dorks, but we go out to the lot almost every day to see what they've been working on. Here's the most recent pic, they've been working on the electrical and are getting ready to to sheetrock and brick now--I know it's probably not that exciting to anyone, but Sean and I. <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFN9Zk1OAM327s-dMY1xEu1tLiNPDNyRcJX8kSpz1rxij9QNN1If4kbQwh5AcJ1ve31wz0Fvc-OtcPpLssnbm_-Td8PF9TfZQZBciQxkl_TrcxRlmG1nXL3u3n-FeFHw0g6RnQvZRFg3U/s1600-h/DSCN0257.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345852465538546690" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFN9Zk1OAM327s-dMY1xEu1tLiNPDNyRcJX8kSpz1rxij9QNN1If4kbQwh5AcJ1ve31wz0Fvc-OtcPpLssnbm_-Td8PF9TfZQZBciQxkl_TrcxRlmG1nXL3u3n-FeFHw0g6RnQvZRFg3U/s400/DSCN0257.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In other news, Ayden got his first bike!! He is so excited about it and asks to ride it 10 times a day. It took him an afternoon to figure out that he can only pedal forward, but is a champ on it now, and yes I did make him wear the helmet and knee pads, Sean thinks that he's going to get beat up, but they've already saved us from several spills so it's worth it!! If we could just get this rain to stop we'd take him out for more bike rides and maybe walk this baby right out, that's right I'm still preggo, but I had a friend remind me today that he can't stay in there forever so I take comfort in that !!<br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTodB41BdaiHaW6MDyU5Q-wYxIA6iCnwYp0BHyOf8h-W4HMdx3nyh9ahTbjJKYfOxd9yZZVpMEnLKwHb1MqufS6Tpa8_OE7tN428WC7cN-59AnJZIQF3I-8X-8roZe2-4Bp8mRypM6fTQ/s1600-h/DSCN0246.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345858883275922754" style="WIDTH: 360px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTodB41BdaiHaW6MDyU5Q-wYxIA6iCnwYp0BHyOf8h-W4HMdx3nyh9ahTbjJKYfOxd9yZZVpMEnLKwHb1MqufS6Tpa8_OE7tN428WC7cN-59AnJZIQF3I-8X-8roZe2-4Bp8mRypM6fTQ/s400/DSCN0246.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div> </div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-59192054079511857932009-04-10T15:55:00.000-07:002009-04-10T16:16:22.027-07:00Medic GraduationSo it's official, we're done with the classroom portion of Paramedic school!!!!

We had record attendence and the speakers, food and venue all went smoothly (much more then I can say for last year). It's a huge job coordinating an event like this and I'm glad I don't have to do it again for another year!!<br /><br />While stressing about the annual Symposium we sold our house!! It's been on the market since July and we were just getting ready to take it off and refinance when it sold. We're so excited, but the timing definetly could have been better, considering this time of year is the busiest for me at work, not to mention I'm feeling very pregnant!! However, what a blessing it will be for us both to be closer to work, we sure will miss our ward out here in Rigby though, hopefully we'll still have lots of reasons to come out and reconnet with everyone.<br /><br />So we've been looking and looking at homes, but to no avail. We either love the house and hate the location or love the location and hate the house, so we've decided to rent an apartment for a few months and build. We've been working with a builder in Idaho Falls and are dillegently working on picking out features for our new home. If anyone has any idea on the best way to go about picking out countertops, cabinets and floors it would be much appreciated, those little samples you get just aren't enough to base such a big decision on!! So overwhelmed with the whole process right now!!<br /><br />So we've been packing (which seemed much easier when we lived in an apartment and didn't have room to accumulate so much stuff) and finding an apartment, and a storage shed. Not to mention we've been trying to get ready for the baby to come in June!!<br /><br />So here's the point of this whole post, any of you who may feel like I've been slacking by not posting is mistaken. I've been doing to opposite of slacking, I've been stressing!!!Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-36778777024260930452009-02-06T09:12:00.000-08:002009-02-06T09:28:37.724-08:00Styling of a 2 year oldAs of late Ayden has discovered the joy of playing dress up. Yesterday was one of those days where we just stayed home all day and cleaned (I've been working on cleaning out the catch-all room, so we can get started on decorating for the new baby) so I was being a little bit lazy and didn't think it was too important to get Ayden dressed, Ayden thought otherwise. Here's what he picked to wear. <div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkrcRU_WTAqcPly2h4axDBIL5MbX0dXbA9Mc6X1cD7fMFfhn6cAlXf2tFlzslUdJy9vc98dG_C7DlFW2uu1GrATItr6hHL1Oob4G8JlA42XGm-rjDTJTANJxuT20hG6y56P2QEgXmaxs/s1600-h/DSCN0168.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299736475774027346" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkrcRU_WTAqcPly2h4axDBIL5MbX0dXbA9Mc6X1cD7fMFfhn6cAlXf2tFlzslUdJy9vc98dG_C7DlFW2uu1GrATItr6hHL1Oob4G8JlA42XGm-rjDTJTANJxuT20hG6y56P2QEgXmaxs/s400/DSCN0168.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>And here is Ayden in Daddy's fire shirt (he's a little obsessed with all things Fire Department related)!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxl8T_wxb1Aia2H4zFg4uz8q8BsDrIaDZqjDiiilCwD3_dukha5oRLbIkgQHqzMcPz2Q_bKhv9w1nOpR7hnz7h37ZIpIM-RVWqPK_PDWvgq1LVCbX_eCcI9x0jIj2wHDgpaQTxzKj91AM/s1600-h/DSCN0162.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299736472560359778" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxl8T_wxb1Aia2H4zFg4uz8q8BsDrIaDZqjDiiilCwD3_dukha5oRLbIkgQHqzMcPz2Q_bKhv9w1nOpR7hnz7h37ZIpIM-RVWqPK_PDWvgq1LVCbX_eCcI9x0jIj2wHDgpaQTxzKj91AM/s400/DSCN0162.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-51467741542565178782009-01-29T08:55:00.000-08:002009-01-29T09:31:52.951-08:00It's a......It's a BOY!!!! We are so excited to be adding another little boy to our family, we just know that Ayden is going to be the best big brother and we love him so much how could we not be excited about another little guy running around the house. Plus I won't have to come up with a new title for the blog!!<br /><div></div><br /><div>Funny story about our Ultrasound...There we are taking pictures of the baby's heart when all the sudden he just stops talking mid-sentence, sets down the rolly thing they use to see the baby and says to the PA student why don't you try to see the baby's face, tells us he'll be right back and walks out of the room. So of course Sean and I both are thinking that something is terribly wrong, he went to grab another Doc for a second opinion or pamphlets to make it easier to tell us what is going on, the PA is mindlessly prattling when the Doc comes back in, and starts apoligizing. Apparently he had fallen asleep right there standing up in the middle of the ultrasound so had to excuse himself to go get some sugar. He explained to us that he'd gone on his first family vacation in 17 years the previous week and in the 3 days since returning home he'd delivered 14 babies plus all the regular check-ups etc and only gotten about 4 1/2 hours of sleep. Since he's one of the most recommended Doctors in town and really one of the busiest (in fact the wait time to get into see him is about a month out), he's been crazy busy playing catch up. We got a good laugh out of this, and were relieved that the baby looked healthy (he even went back and double checked all the pics just to make sure he didn't miss anything while his head wasn't 100% in the game). What a Doc to come to work even though he was so tired, I would have called in sick. I'm glad he didn't make us wait to find out what we are having!!</div><br /><div></div><div>So without further ado...here is the debut picture of our new little stud!!

We had so much fun I totally forgot to take pictures of the day, even though Sean surprised me with a new camera earlier in the week, oops!! But I just couldn't let Thanksgiving go by without posting about how grateful I am for all our family!! I'm also grateful for Black Friday shopping. It's always hard to motivate ourselves to get out of bed and go out shopping so early, but what a blast we have everytime. It's just so funny to see how crazy some people get at the thought of good deals. Here's a pic of the sisters excitedly waiting in line at Target. It was way too crazy to take pics once we got inside, but thanks to the mad shopping skills from Becky we were able to come up with all the goodies that we set out for. Also a big shout out to the rest of the family. We divided and conquered with pieces of the family all over town, including Sean's parents who stayed home to watch Ayden for us, thanks guys! Wish I could have gotten a picture of everyone!!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvKtiUlpiPitQHCVU3QF-A54HlBU0keVyafuITp95gALYbm-e_iVA35m21h0-5y_J8MT9Xv9OFWOQVWzqsIDe7_cKSw8G5bKiGCBzfFOEanynsvUZ8f_D8GQYFVqPFz5N9jAjmIRaXdg/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274638823313897010" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvKtiUlpiPitQHCVU3QF-A54HlBU0keVyafuITp95gALYbm-e_iVA35m21h0-5y_J8MT9Xv9OFWOQVWzqsIDe7_cKSw8G5bKiGCBzfFOEanynsvUZ8f_D8GQYFVqPFz5N9jAjmIRaXdg/s400/013.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-6015478083223138472008-11-25T10:34:00.000-08:002008-11-25T16:23:17.979-08:00Just love that HubbySean's b-day was last week, so when I saw this tag on <a href="http://thosecrazyjoneses.blogspot.com/">Malissa</a>'s blog I thought it would be a good birthday post for him.

Where did you meet? Sean and I were FHE brother and Sister at Utah State.</div><br /><br /><div>2. How long did you date before you were married? We dated for 4 months before we got engaged and another 4 months before we were married. (The engagement was way to long)!!</div><br /><br /><div>3. How long have you been married? 5 1/2 years of marital bliss</div><br /><br /><div>4. What does he do that suprises you? It suprises me that he can still give me the butterflies with just a kiss, he'll get me flowers for no reason and cooks suprisingly yummy meals.</div><br /><br /><div>5. What is his best feature? I know it's weird, but my favorite physical feature is his back, he'd never admit to it, but he's got the best muscle definition back there and it's really sexy!!</div><br /><br /><div>6. What is your favorite quality of his? His sense of humor (he's always making me laugh), his spirituality, and his openness (he'll talk about anything, anytime which can get embarrassing, but most of the time I love it)!</div><br /><br /><div>7. Does he have a nickname for you? Lots of them, but most of the time it's just Hon, or Babe</div><br /><br /><div>8. What is his favorite food? Lasagna (I hate it, so he only gets it once a year for his b-day).</div><br /><br /><div>9. What is his favorite sport? Baseball and football, he loves playing them both but doesn't get into watching them which I'm grateful for because watching sports on TV bores me to tears.</div><br /><br /><div>10. When and where was your first kiss? In the stairwell at my apartment building in college. It took him a really long time to kiss me, I thought it would never happen, but it was definitly worth the wait!!</div><br /><br /><div>11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Do couples get to do things together after kids??? Just kidding when we do get out we love going to dinner and movies, it's typical, but hey that's us.</div><br /><br /><div>12. Do you have any children? Yep, and Sean is the best Daddy in the whole world!</div><br /><br /><div>13. What are his hidden talents? Funny story, we were hanging out the other night and I started trying to get him to dance with me, when all of the sudden he pulls out swing dance, followed by the waltz, cha-cha, tango, and a few others I'd never heard of. Six years together and I didn't know he could dance. Bet you didn't know he can also sing really well.</div><br /><br /><div>14. What is his favorite music? Classic Rock</div><br /><br /><div>15. What do you admire about him? He gets things done, we started on our basement thinking we'd take it slow and do it together piece by piece, 4 months later it was done. He also thinks well on his feet and is so smart, good trait to have as a firefighter/paramedic.</div><br /><br /><div>16. What is his favorite color? Whenever I ask him this question he says that he doesn't have one, but he has a lot of clothes that are blue so we'll go with that.</div><br /><br /><div>17. Will he read this? Probably if I tell him I posted</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Sure love you lots honey!! Hope you had a very happy birthday and aren't too embarrassed being the spotlight of the blog for a change!! </div><br /><br /><div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-62238387692950672252008-11-13T10:25:00.000-08:002008-11-13T10:48:37.995-08:00The Simple Pleasures<div><div><div><div><div>The other day Ayden and I decided to meet Daddy up at school and have a picnic lunch and play at the park.

Cutest thing ever!!! We went to Boo at the Zoo on Thursday with Ayden's little friend Deveny, Trick or Treat Street and the Ward Trunk or Treat Carnival on Friday, by the end of the two fun filled days Ayden was so wired from the sugar high I didn't think he would ever settle down. He ran both of us ragged and Sean and I were both thankful for the weekend after those two days. However Ayden absolutely had a blast this Halloween and really got excited to go get candy is his bucket. I had a really hard time getting him to stand still long enough for some good pictures, but here are a few to give you an idea of how cute he was...<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGUzdsLzH-f4i6uW3zKlxhTsvw3eww0Kr-WSzL8lo3SJeeA1ZGgrch1ixUx5SriixNf71CSGTheaTJUr_U1KT5JGMHkxMamm0uHO06Q34eyyeGecSdJTskOmr_Ik9Wp9e075oevwTiffo/s1600-h/DSC02212.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264848321413983378" style="WIDTH: 248px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGUzdsLzH-f4i6uW3zKlxhTsvw3eww0Kr-WSzL8lo3SJeeA1ZGgrch1ixUx5SriixNf71CSGTheaTJUr_U1KT5JGMHkxMamm0uHO06Q34eyyeGecSdJTskOmr_Ik9Wp9e075oevwTiffo/s400/DSC02212.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTAqfY59BvI4_vnJvBcfkIG72HLmx6eTReFp8sQv4E1aVRYB8iDk5FUIr2V7cvFUlR3Ytxf4UMq24divyfmAfHEqxFiEMRJ2fwph_xB8Aq-Xxzg0znXucEmfEOqEY99fzeVJQABYqC5c/s1600-h/DSC02198.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264848327644011618" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 373px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTAqfY59BvI4_vnJvBcfkIG72HLmx6eTReFp8sQv4E1aVRYB8iDk5FUIr2V7cvFUlR3Ytxf4UMq24divyfmAfHEqxFiEMRJ2fwph_xB8Aq-Xxzg0znXucEmfEOqEY99fzeVJQABYqC5c/s400/DSC02198.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwdTPugIYGBmVVaN-ZPui5InA5EuoLofrr4RdRypdMF2i3L5G6DVkoFKZeaR-qhJJDhsrPO5rEjV7cSraCg5IEDRSfYiFCk-vME655W090uWmBtGZWvQHVEMjrNDKBtYSRwQv85hwHmw/s1600-h/DSC02201.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264848326277268898" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwdTPugIYGBmVVaN-ZPui5InA5EuoLofrr4RdRypdMF2i3L5G6DVkoFKZeaR-qhJJDhsrPO5rEjV7cSraCg5IEDRSfYiFCk-vME655W090uWmBtGZWvQHVEMjrNDKBtYSRwQv85hwHmw/s400/DSC02201.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YVyTWq_c8ft2uh-Um6TgFCaICrsx6AKJcDIqnB952_rLqsa-3U8lsblOyIgWW2I-ME8c0J922AvT90aag699Hm94UQbhKWcW7gQweLghLfXHopEApd3PLBRTsGux7iA0toTXpPZ-RjE/s1600-h/DSC02215.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264850496555878706" style="WIDTH: 272px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-YVyTWq_c8ft2uh-Um6TgFCaICrsx6AKJcDIqnB952_rLqsa-3U8lsblOyIgWW2I-ME8c0J922AvT90aag699Hm94UQbhKWcW7gQweLghLfXHopEApd3PLBRTsGux7iA0toTXpPZ-RjE/s400/DSC02215.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65OnpBtmt4ek422097Q2DOrS5XpQWP5vFrXaPcH-ybxDK73L5k-6zpMYCIi9fUF243oUZtDhbZa4Aa372G47V05MR18yC8uXwusZJOKZ_U03txS7neuev1-x8BEEIMK73jkFzJaigLvU/s1600-h/DSC02205.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264850490489995938" style="WIDTH: 328px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65OnpBtmt4ek422097Q2DOrS5XpQWP5vFrXaPcH-ybxDK73L5k-6zpMYCIi9fUF243oUZtDhbZa4Aa372G47V05MR18yC8uXwusZJOKZ_U03txS7neuev1-x8BEEIMK73jkFzJaigLvU/s400/DSC02205.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-29136944484181032872008-10-22T10:21:00.000-07:002008-10-22T10:35:22.479-07:00Photo TagLeslie Tagged me a little while ago.

This is Christmas in Sean and I's apartment when we first moved to Idaho and Sean had to work on Christmas Day and so the whole family came up and crammed into our little 2 bedroom apartment to celebrate Christmas. Becky and I thought it would be fun to make matching PJ's for everyone to open on Christmas eve, but wanted it to be a suprise so we picked out the tackiest cheapest material we could find and guessed on everyone's sizes. (We didn't even really use a pattern we just winged it). Needless to say it was one of the funniest things ever watching everyone open up that gift. We got the sizes pretty close, except for Candis's were like 6 inches to short and Spencer's was a tent, but it was a blast!! Fun times :)<br /><br />This was a fun one, I tag who ever wants to!!!Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09874541556841879336noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038521225243619865.post-75522385091767671722008-10-21T09:18:00.000-07:002008-10-21T09:47:04.404-07:00Weekend FunSo we had yet another whirlwind weekend in SLC, what a blast. First thing we did when we got to SLC (after stopping at the Sprint store to get new phones) is we went to Candis's house to meet our new neice Alexis, what a sweetheart!!<br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27b9ULtWCj7AG9T0nFESIHHaGggq8z0IzndwfPfsDq__2C0x5HfHlADawWCKvuf_X-2ce4M4ZEVpUaGhXM3J_IuQuRqfAHMeO0p82gbK7AjqtcJm8psW3LV4A6t1Wpa6bQE809xdFig8/s1600-h/Alexis_Birthday_008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259643222465269570" style="CURSOR: hand" height="180" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj27b9ULtWCj7AG9T0nFESIHHaGggq8z0IzndwfPfsDq__2C0x5HfHlADawWCKvuf_X-2ce4M4ZEVpUaGhXM3J_IuQuRqfAHMeO0p82gbK7AjqtcJm8psW3LV4A6t1Wpa6bQE809xdFig8/s400/Alexis_Birthday_008.jpg" width="238" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br />After that we dropped the kid at Mom and Dad's (thanks guys) and went on a date for my b-day. Sean planned a great evening that ended with Derest Star Playhouse and Scary Poppins<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ-0_9M26503FD7p2XA0jOSxmE1OQ2vEvXXJHuN_rkICrU02G3mWFj5JxbFA2nMyNJ6wabeOp0uaQ-Zz7rNV0w6ZG0kQiLRfMHbKixv-MypU9aUgYUjTA1J_lw8cTBttOc0JLJCfFPV9c/s1600-h/Poppins.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259643977489441634" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ-0_9M26503FD7p2XA0jOSxmE1OQ2vEvXXJHuN_rkICrU02G3mWFj5JxbFA2nMyNJ6wabeOp0uaQ-Zz7rNV0w6ZG0kQiLRfMHbKixv-MypU9aUgYUjTA1J_lw8cTBttOc0JLJCfFPV9c/s400/Poppins.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br />The next day we went to Park City with all my sisters to shop. It was completely different then it used to be with a caravan of strollers and a whole lot more baby clothes then adult clothes. Although I did get a screamin deal on some baseball cleats for Sean.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzoRcbz8Caaq8g0GTswUFDFmoQO2zxbiS1QHWK2SZHrt5zyD3qELWTcdesRc_98ARC6KcLNifI5L-2yAXXvelw-mezWZmSJST-Krym_PfSbIlzeVnuCSOIqzQxq00Fn730YFoNxeY5qU/s1600-h/stroller.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259644872853861090" style="WIDTH: 143px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 139px" height="170" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXzoRcbz8Caaq8g0GTswUFDFmoQO2zxbiS1QHWK2SZHrt5zyD3qELWTcdesRc_98ARC6KcLNifI5L-2yAXXvelw-mezWZmSJST-Krym_PfSbIlzeVnuCSOIqzQxq00Fn730YFoNxeY5qU/s400/stroller.jpg" width="231" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="left">The next day the whole family was able to meet up at Mary Elizabeth's house after church to spend some quality time together. Mary Elizabeth made my favorite meal (fajatas) and we were able to enjoy each other's company and get a pic of all the cousins. It's not that great of a picture, but we didn't want Ayden to pop any of the babies in the head so this is the bast we could come up with and the most we could get him to sit still.</p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg30avCrF3Xoyt4lFDWbXyZn-MdWY-ohZ0685Zf8zvZdzKx-GH4FtvWVZ5anLnWrdVyMHJ4Ta9P7rWkzVsONNP-EDNqkJ0bFTbvJEJmMLl3DxLd7016s1PK_B7EI_WgwYGO5MhPpsr4l3w/s1600-h/Grand_kids_Oct_08_002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259647054137725698" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg30avCrF3Xoyt4lFDWbXyZn-MdWY-ohZ0685Zf8zvZdzKx-GH4FtvWVZ5anLnWrdVyMHJ4Ta9P7rWkzVsONNP-EDNqkJ0bFTbvJEJmMLl3DxLd7016s1PK_B7EI_WgwYGO5MhPpsr4l3w/s400/Grand_kids_Oct_08_002.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="left">Needless to say I had a really great birthday weekend full of family.
