BABY #2

Baby number 2 is due July 5. We are so excited for this new one to join our family. Andy really wants a boy. He is always asking Gabby if she wants a baby brother. Some times she'll say yes other times she just ignores her dad.
Things are going good so far. The all day sickness has been bad for Lisa, but she takes pills like crazy to help her. She still has her bad days were she doesn't feel like doing much or she might be worshiping the porcelain thorn for a while.
Andy has been a great help with Gabby and around the house these past months. Thanks, we love you and appricate all that you do for us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving. We got to enjoy both side of the family. Alan, Laurie, Cami and Brady came over to Roosevelt and had Thanksgiving Dinner with the Naylor Family. It was so nice to have them join us. There was plenty of food and pie to go around. Andy and I went to the black Friday sales. The stores were crazy but we had fun. Brady and Cami came a long on Friday morning. After we got back from shopping then it was back up to my mom's house to do the craft. This years craft was ceramic Santa and Mrs Clause. My are not finished so the picture of the craft will be later. Saturday we went tree hunting. Gabriella did really well for all the snow that was up on the mountain. We got our tree, just need to put it up now.

Witchy Witchy Screamy Screamy Happy Happy Halloweenie!!!

Trick or Treat!!! Gabriella was not big into putting on her Halloween costume until she saw that she got candy. Daddy helped the situation out by putting on his Yellow rain slicker to be a fisherman. Or as some people thought, because Gabriella was a monkey, the man in the yellow hat from Curious George. Gabriella loved watching all of her cousins dress up, when she saw that she was not the only one that looked silly she was alright, except when buzz lightyear tried to take her out. Or course we call Gabriella our little monkey so the costume was great.

A Fun Fall Day!!

What a fun way to enjoy a fall day, a Corn Maze and get lost in it. Hay ride to a Pumpkin patch and picking out the perfect pumpkin for yourself. Being out in the cold breezy air. That's how we spent our Saturday. Gabriella loves picking her own little pumpkin.

Viva Las Vegas

For our 3 year anniversary, Andy and I took trip to Las Vegas. Gabby stayed a Grandma Maynes and had lots of fun. Her and Brady are best buds now. They got a lot of time to hang out together. When we picked her up she was ready to go home. Gabby would follow us around make sure we weren't leaving her again. Andy was packing the car, Gabby climbed in and got in her car seat and wanted Andy to buckle her. She knew if she was in the car we couldn't leave her.

Andy and I enjoyed our little vacation. We saw the Lion King on Broadway, went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, M&M world and saw a 3D film and went to a lot of the free things they had in the casinos. We did a lot of walking , but we had a good time. We were grad to be home and have Gabriella with us.

Pictures from M&M World

I got this quote in an E-mail from my mom and I really liked it so I thought I would share it with all of you. The quote is from President Harold B Lee affirming that America will not fall.


"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, _I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail_. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges. I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. _It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through._ (Ye Are the Light of the World, 350-51)

18 Months

Gabriella is 18 months old and loving it.  She thinks that she is such a big girl now.  She no longer likes to drink out of a sippy cup she needs a big cup.  She has learned that when she want to go out side or needs a snack she just goes to mom or dad and pulls there hand where she wants to go.  She may think that she a big girl but she is still just a little tike.  She is just over the 20 pound mark but is still growing.  Gabby loves books and likes to be read to and also like to take a turn and read to mom and dad.  She likes to try and throw fits also but that just kids for you.  She is growing up to fast.

Zing Zag Zoom

On Friday we took Gabriella to the Ringling brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.  We all enjoyed every minute of the circus. Gabriella Loved the Elephants and the Dogs the most. When they came out the hole time she was laughing and pointing.  Andy and I were a little worried that she might not sit still, but she did very well. She sat on our laps while eating her popcorn.

Flaming Gorge

Saturday we went to Flaming Gorge, so Andy could get one last fishing trip in before it got to cold. Andy didn't have luck with catching fish, but we had a good time anyways.  After fishing, we tried to tour the Flaming Gorge Dam , but we were a little late so no tour for us.  We looked around for a little bit then went home. The drive home was pretty, with all the leaves changing colors.

Where Do these stairs go too? These stairs are at the Flaming Gorge Dam and just keep going into the water. Get you scuba diving gear and take a walk down.
