Beaver, Brighton, Brigham & Babies

Beaver Mountain on Sundays!!! Yes!
Ian is skiing. Andy is a great teacher.
I didn't fully know what a great place Beaver was...now I do. Not a soul on the hill and every soul there is a brother or sister of the Beaver First Ward conducting their religious ceremonies.

Ladies weekend at Brighton Ruled. Beautiful lodge at the base of the Great Western lift. 10 ladies I got to hang and ski with. Made new friends! Thanks to Nanny, Andy, Lori and Alyson for making it possible. Refreshed.

Pretty Wellsvilles

9 months old and nicknamed "T" for trouble. Oliver is interested and on the go. Full on crawler, extremely curious of all things and a little destructo. He puts things in his mouth, reaches for plugs and dog dishes. One tub of lovin that's for sure!


Ian is the best time ever. Funny kid, super smart and coordinated. We are hauling through our first Sam books and making a serious dent in this reading business. Loving preschool and Lisa but we are looking forward to spring and summer. We are in swimming class and Ian is not so sure. He just likes to hang on the step and take it all in.
He has the most darling freckles and is the most precious being on earth.

New Years was eventful.....

Christmas in SLC

We had an interesting Christmas.... Oliver's First Christmas and the first Christmas that Ian actually really understood what Santa could do for him. He sat on his lap after all the other kids at his daycare did, just to make sure he wasn't too freaky. Oliver thought Santa was A-OK too. He just wanted to suck on the plastic candy cane filled with M&Ms. Lisa was awesome for arranging the close up Santa visit. That beats waiting in line for him by 100.

Arrived at Nanny and Poppas on the 23rd...all went well. Xmas eve Ian had a nap and woke up sick as sick/ High fever and not well. So that began a week of fever and movies and video games. We cancelled all our other plans and came home to get better. Bring on the new year!

Sick Ian...Christmas morning. Poor guy.

Thanks huge to Nanny and Poppa, once again! We made a huge lute, ate delicious sweet rolls and left some germs for Nanny, sorry Nan.

6 months of Ollie...3 1/2 years of Ian...LOVE

Oliver turned 6 months this month. What a good baby. Seriously this little guy is so happy and easy going. His only ailment is his rashy skin. A gift from me to my children I guess. Fair toned boys. Ollie is rolling over, wants to move, sitting in highchairs, eating all sorts of blended stuff and laughing like crazy. No one entertains him more than Ian. Teeth may be on the horizon. We are so blessed to be his parents. Pure love going on here!

Ian is 3 1/2 this month. What a riot this one is. He is obsessed with supermario and his cousins Anna and Sean. He is learning to ski with his dad, a few days at the mountain and he's making pizzas and hitting the magic carpet like its no ones business. He loves preschool and Lisa's house and is reading up a storm. He is so entertaining and darling... a total character. What an age this is. Shoveling is also a top priority right now, he likes to help. Mostly I want to thank Ian for being the best big brother, he is always looking out for his baby and makes him smile all day long. Again we are lucky!


They were right.

Thanksgiving

Much time spent like this. Julia watching Ian play on an I-device......
