And a Happy New Year!

We went to Southern Utah for New Years we didn't get much sleep, rode horses and had a really fun new years party with all the cousins! It such a pretty place and we always enjoy visiting family there.

 we went out and looked at the chickens and every time we handed Jeter an egg he would throw it! Only two casualties until we caught on.

 We went out for a hike our last day and rode horses. It was fun, but I was under some stress because I couldn't find my wedding ring, don't worry we found it. But I was worried all day and it was hard to enjoy myself. Kameron and Jeter fell off the horse because it tripped so that was scary. I am just glad no one got hurt. We can ride horses again but I was done for the day.

The best part was going to Tia Pan and finding these little beauties! I'm not sure how I will use them but I couldn't not buy them! I love that place and the valentine display was to die for! They should build one in Arizona!

It was a fun trip but that seven hour drive was a killer. Jeter did really well actually, but we won't be taking any long trips for a while. So for now bring on 2012!!! And good luck on all those New Years Resolutions!!

Have Yourself a Very Merry Little Christmas!

I have been trying to get this posted for some time but blogger has been difficult and we went out of town for New Year's so, here is Christmas! We went to Janel's house in Queen Creek. It was a great christmas we really had fun and I loved going to church. Something about it just seemed right and kept us in the true meaning of Christmas a little longer.

 We are so excited!

 The girls in our elf pajamas!

 Jeter always loves getting new things, he had a lot of fun even if the day started early!

 I went up to Thatcher that week and we played with Killian's new toy...we are still learning to share !

 I have to find ways to entertain Jeter while driving by myself so I came up with the great idea of a chocolate hershey kiss...it kept him quiet but it was bath time when we got home!

 The best part of christmas was the Kitchen table from my parents! Love it so much! I woke up the next morning thinking "was that a dream?!" But it was still there! I just love it!

Kameron's Graduation

Blogger wasn't cooperating so my pictures are out of order. So I guess I'll start with Kam's graduation! We went up to Flagstaff for the occasion, he graduated with his bachelor's in construction management. Kameron has worked so hard and taken on work full time and school full time and got honors for good grades! He seriously is amazing. He is so glad to be done and looking forward to working and coming home. The guys in his major wore hard hats the are in the far section in the middle. It was a good ceremony and we are so proud of him!

 Here is Kameron walking back to his seat after accepting his diploma

 Jeter was such a trooper, graduation was at 9am! Here we are, Go Lumberjacks!

 Kam and his parents

 The Johnson group.  (Jeter had enough of the cold by then)

 We went to the mall to give Jeter some walk around time and he got ride some rides there and had the time of his life! We also stopped by the toy store where you can play with toys, probably the happiest place on earth next to Disney Land.

 I love love love this picture. Jeter's face is so priceless. Love this kid!!

This is our Christmas tree, Jeter hasn't really bothered it much and the fresh pine tree smell is a nice addition! We have this little Christmas count down and it has a Santa on it and Jeter said "Santa" a couple of times and he defiantly knows who Santa is. So funny.

It snowed a couple weekends ago. Maybe an inch and a half. It was a fun treat though. Snow seems to follow us wherever we go. Jeter wasn't too excited about playing in it though.

We went to the Globe light parade too. It was fun to get out and see all the towns people we live by.

Thanksgiving Weekend 2011

Thanksgiving was different this year. Good but Different. Kameron worked on Thanksgiving so he could have an extra day hunting up in Flagstaff. So after much debate I ended up just going down to Mesa with my parents and Emily for lunch at Janel's. The food was so so good. One of the best and it was a successful Thanksgiving Day! My mom, Emily and I stayed at a hotel that night than went shopping (not early bird style) and it was my Mom's birthday! I than traveled with Cade to Prescott to spend the weekend there while Kameron hunted. Overall it was a fun weekend but it was good to be home. 

 The boys doing some turkey coloring

 Jeter is mobile now so he loves stairs. Fun fun.

 He acts like he can take a step all by himself....maybe in a couple of weeks...

 On Thanksgiving night we went and saw the Emerson bunch! We got to meet Dyllon (Adam's little boy-he's like 14 months I think)

 The balloons were very distracting and I couldn't get the boys to look! I am so glad we went everyone was there but Austin. We even got to meet Jean the newest Emerson baby and see Tommy Joe and her little girls So fun!

 Natalie and I hung out all day Saturday. Logan is really growing up! He is a scooter like Jeter but uses both legs, we had a lot of fun playing with him!

 Jeter loves walking! And running sometimes, he handles the falling pretty well haha. It's so fun to see him walking though, he's not a baby anymore though! I don't know how I feel about that. But he is loving it and it has opened a whole new world for him!
