Car Show!!!

Baby Driving a Toyota Tundra!!!

Why do they even have the back seat?

Baby enjoying the Car Show.

So this past weekend we went to Utah to a car show for Chad's Birthday present! It was so much fun. Chad really enjoyed himself and we discovered that Garrett will probably love cars just as much as his dad! He didn't make a sound the whole time we were there. He just looked around and took everything in! Mom will soon be outnumbered! We had such a great time and hope to make it a family tradtion.

My Birthday!

So my birthday was yesterday and I just wanted to tell everyone how great my husband is. I had such a wonderful birthday! He planned to have my parents watch little Garrett so that we could have a real date. Woohoo! We first went out to eat at Johnny Carinos (yummy), then we went shoe shopping because that is what I wanted for my birthday. Chad was great and let me drag him to every store in the Mall that sold shoes so that I could find the perfect pair, then we went to the movie " I am Legend" (Very good but very suspensful). It was such a wonderful night. I love my Husband!!!
I also got to hang out with my mom during the day and she took me to the cannery so that I could learn how to can. I got a phone call from my Grandma and my dad and my cousin Tia. It was such a wonderful day!

Garrett is 6 months old!!

I can't believe it. Time flies so fast. Garrett is now 6 months old. He is amazing and learning new things everyday. He is getting really good at rolling over and is now trying to sit up. He loves to talk and have people play with him and read to him. We just love him and are amazed by him everyday! What a blessing he is. (The above are current pictures of him that I took)

Chad Graduated!!

Well, I have been waiting to publish this post until I had more pictures of his graduation but this will have to do. Chad graduated on December 14th with his bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was very excited and is now working full time as a Nuclear Engineer.

We were very grateful that his parents were able to fly in from Seattle for the graduation. It is always so good to see them.

Here is a picture of him at Graduation, hopefully I will have more to post soon.

Christmas Time!!!!

I just love Christmas and thought that I would share with you some pictures from our day and what we were up to. We went to my parents house on Christmas Eve and had our traditional Pizza dinner, we then had a Christmas program and did the nativity. Me and Chad were Shepards and Garrett was Baby Jesus.

Garrett then got to open his Christmas PJ's which he is wearing in the picture. They have a car on them and say 'Daddy's good little Driver'

We spent Christmas eve together at our new house and had so much fun with Garrett on his first Christmas. We got lots of presents but I was very happy with the present that Chad got me. He got me a leather jacket. It is very nice. He is sooooo good to me.

I just love Christmas and am so glad that I got to spend it with my family, especially my wonderful husband and my cute baby boy!

Christmas!!!!!

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here! I am so glad that we have gotten so much snow. I love white Christmases.

So now that I am a mom and a wife I have gotten kinda crafty and wanted to share the beautiful stockings that I made for us. I have found that I kinda like to sew! Crazy! I have only made three because that is all that we need this year but I have more fabric so that as our family grows I can make matching stockings for our whole family!

I also wanted to share with you our first tree in our new home! Last year we had a free, fake tree from my parents. It is the kind that they put the white stuff on to look like snow. This year we went out and picked out a real tree. It was way fun and now our house gets to smell like Christmas.
