Merry Christmas!!!


Our first big snow of the year...it was beautiful - huge fluffy flakes - but way too warm to stick!
Sterling enjoyed watching it fall - I always wonder what goes through his mind : )
Some Christmas pictures we didn't use on our card...



I know this is a bit late but the last month has just flown by and we have been really busy!! As I'm sure all of you have been!! We had a wonderful Christmas! Very low key this year! I hope to have more pictures to add later but unfortunately they are on Tim's computer.

August 4th-9th - Clarah's Visit

Well, I'm afraid too much has happened in the last couple months to actually properly catch up!! I'll do my best with a quick overview...I'm terrible at 'quick'!!

August 4th
Just a couple days after I got back home from the 2 week trip to Missouri Tim's 5 year old niece, Clarah, flew out for a 5 day visit. She was great and we really enjoyed our time with her!!

Bedtime stories with U. Tim!

We got to go out on the boat with my brother, Ryan, and his family! It was a beautiful afternoon!!! The sunset was spectacular!!

Ryan and Sterling!

The guys


Sterling is always so funny in his life-vest!!!

Shanny, Ry, and little LexiLou!

We had an awesome taco salad for dinner!

Tim and Clarah

The guys had fun wake-boarding!!

July 16-30 - Missouri Trip

Why oh why must I be so crazy about getting everything from one trip into one post??!!! Because I don't have time to sit down and do this updating in one sitting it has literally taken me at least a week and a half to do this one! Ridiculous!!! Anyway, it's the synopsis of our 2 week trip to Missouri - it's a darn good thing that I misplaced my camera for almost a week of it or else I'm afraid this post would've been twice as long!



Our whole family (minus Tim and Jenna : / ) got to go to Missouri for my cousin Kendra's wedding! We all flew together! What a blast!!!!

In the St. Louis airport.

How cute are they?!!!

Sterling with cousin Kinsie.

Matthew told Kinsie that if she wasn't gonna let him hold Sterling that he'd just hold them both!

Uncle Logan, cousin Matthew and Sterling.

The wedding reception

Sterling and I with The Cakes! Kendra designed the whole thing and I had a lot of help executing the project!! It was the first cake that I've done since having a baby - it made it a little interesting but in the end it all worked out! All the black is fondant overlay.

Andrea and the boy!

Mikayla and the boy!

Too bad Ry and Shan missed out on this shot! Poor little Lexi Lou had a bit of a melt down earlier in the evening and they had to leave.

Buds!! Andrea and Kelsey

I love this one of Becky and Derek with Selah!

Sterling is crazy nuts about drinking water out of a glass!! Cracks me up!

How great is this one - my little Fish in the tub!!! Just in the last month he has discovered that he can roll over onto his belly in the tub too : )

Crazy guys!! Ty, Kyle, U. Rodney, U. Dan, Logan and Pops

A bunch of us were still around on Sunday so all got to go to church together - took up a whole row!

So far Sterling loves books!!! I hope that love will continue to grow as he does. Hopefully he'll be like his dad in that!!!

High-centered trying to escape from one of his many sleeping pallets!
