Family pictures in the snow

We took family pictures out in the snow. Kyle Payne took them for us. He is great if anyone needs pictures let me know and I will get you his info. Anywho, it was so cold and it was snowing while we were out there. We were only outside for 15 minutes or so. But the next day Jade got really sick. Turns out she has an ear infection and an upper respitory infection. It might have been from the cold. Seeing her be so sick is soooo amazingly sad. It breaks my heart! Hopefully she will be all better really soon. The pictures turned out really good though.

Out with my sisters in Arizona



Jade and I went to Arizona this past weekend to vistit my sisters and their families. My sister Deidra had her birthday while I was there and we got to go out. My brother-in-law, Trevor, watched Jade so we could go out, just us sisters. We missed Lynsey and wished she was there with us. We had a good time. We went out to eat at Pita Jungle and then saw the movie "Twilight". It was a really good movie but the book was still better. Then we went to another restaurant to have chocolate cake they kept raving about. It was delicious but the chocolate cake at PF Changs and the Chocolate Lasagna at Olive Garden was still better. I had so much fun being with my sisters!

Jade's First Birthday!




Jade got a water proof Winnie the Pooh to go in the bath tub. She loves it and thinks it's so fun to have 2 Winnie the Poohs.

Jade's First Birthday!






Jade had her first birthday on November 24th, 2008. Ian actually had the day off so that was awsome getting to spend the whole day together. We went to the park and she walked around on the grass. We didn't stay very long because it was cold. Then in the afternoon, Lynsey, Tallie, and Chloe came over for her little party. Jade love Winnie the Pooh so we had a Winnie the Pooh theme. She had her first cake and was more interested in squeezing it in her hands then eating it. She liked it, had a few bites and then was done. She loved the party favors that you blow into and they make a noise. She also really loved her fire truck because it talks and sings and she figured out how to push the button herself. She also loved her shopping cart because it also sings and lights up! It was a good day. A little part of me was sad though because she isn't a baby anymore! She is growing so fast. I love spending all my time with her, it is flying by too quickly!

Dress up for Jade


My aunt gave Jade a cloth diaper cover and so we played dress up in it and I put one of my necklaces on her.
Well I haven't been doing a good job on the blog lately. Ian had his birthday on Nov. 17 and he turned 25. We took an ice cream cake to Lynsey's house and ate it there the night before his birthday. Then Lynsey watched Jade over night for us. We went to Park City and stayed in a condo. Park city was totally dead and we couldn't even find a restaurant to eat in. We found a grocery store and bought some food to take back to the condo and watched a movie. Then the next day we went to the Park City outlets and then drove to Salt Lake. We had lunch and then toured the Behive house (Brigham Young's house). Then we went to see the movie Joseph at the Joseph Smith Memorial Builing. It was such a great movie. I cried a ton, parts of it were really sad. Then we walked around Temple Square and went into the Tabernacle. Then we ate at PF Changs for dinner. Way good food and we got the best Chocolate cake ever there. Then we missed Jade so much we drove back to get her. We had fun and it was really nice to have a little mini get away with just Ian. I think he had a good birthday! I forgot to take my camera to take pictures, bummer!
