Grape Vine

We have these grapevines on the fence in our back yard. Justin and I were out working in the yard today and saw that the grapes were ripe! I was so excited. They are really small, but I think that is how their suppose to be. Kelson absolutly LOVES them! So now we have more than enough grapes to last us a long time!

Mr. Cinderella

So today I moped the floor and walked into the other room. When I came back Kelson was mopping it! Ha ha! It was so funny. He got really mad when I tried taking the mop away so I just let him do it! He looked like he was really working hard and enjoying himself. LOL! Someday he will have a very lucky wife! Here are some pictures!

Our Kiddies!

We are having a new baby and the thought of holding a newborn is terrifying all over again. I didn't realize how fast Kelson had grown up until I thought of him as a little baby. Kelson talks and runs like a real person. Ha ha. He is absolutly loving the new house and all the time he is finally getting to spend with his daddy! Any ways, we are really excited about the new one! Crazy how quickly our family has grown.

Our First Home

Justin finally got all the financing for our new home in St. George. I wasn't sure I wanted to move back to St. George (the heat just kills me), but when Justin showed me what would soon be our home, I knew I had to. I love everything about this house; the location, the yard, the bedrooms, the vaulted ceilings, the paint job in Kelson's room(thanks to me :)..), everything! Justin did an amaizing job. It really feels like home. There is a lot of work to do but it is so very worth it. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and HUGE backyard!

Long Time No Blog!

So it has been a very long time since I have been on here. Maybe I just didn't know what to say. Maybe I wasn't sure just how to say that everything had fallen apart. Well I am happy to say that everything has come back together. Justin and I are back together... and better yet... having another baby! I am due January 28th.... and I am hoping for a girl but we will be happy with a boy too.

Justin bought a beautiful home for our family in St. George. We will be moving in this next week. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, just perfect for our little family. The backyard is fantastic as well! It needs some work but Justin has already been doing alot and we all will once I get moved down there.

Mr. Kelson is growing up so quickly! I can hardly believe it sometimes. He has such a sweetheart. He saw me crying the other day (I cry at everything... its the hormones lol) and he came and loved me. He talks so much! He is so smart! Justin has taught him a lot.

Christmas!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas. We sure did! We had a party with my family Christmas Eve in Cedar City. It was so much fun! The whole family was together. We headed out for Kanab at about 8 pm and it took us about 4 hours to get there. The snow was NUTS! We had a great Christmas morning in Kanab. We opened all of our presents and took Kelson outside to play in the snow. He was amazed! Then we went to Justin's Grandpa Glover's house for breakfast. Kelson had fun feeding Great-Grandpa's dog eggs. After breakfast we went over to Justin's other grandparents for lunch... too much food! Ha Ha. Kelson had so much fun playing with all of the other little kids and opening presents.

We were all so spoiled. I got a sewing machine from my parents, a Cricut scrapbooking machine from Justin, and SOOO many other things. Justin got a tent, dvd camcorder, air matress, and tons of other stuff. Kelson was the most spoiled of us all! He got a beautiful wood toy box from Grandma Glover and tons of toys to fill it up with from Grandma and Grandpa Brown.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!

By the end of the day Kelson had had about all the Christmas he could handle!

I took some pictures of a few of the pages I made with my Cricut!

Christmas memories!

Christmas is less than a week away and before we know it the madness will be gone. Don't get me wrong; I love everything about Christmas. I love the happy lights, the shiny presents, the anticipation factor, and the heart warming scents of the season.

As this is my sons second Christmas, we are getting closer to the times of his exciting, life long, Christmas memories in-the-making. I can remember the endless Christmas Eve nights watching the clock; time never goes as slow as it did on childhood Christmas Eves. We waited all day Christmas Eve to be able to open our traditional "one present before Christmas." That one present always made us more anxious to open the rest. My dad use to take away all of our alarm clocks so we couldn't set them for 2 am. Hee hee. Somehow Gavin always found a way to get up in the wee hours of the morning. He was always the first to riffle through the wondrous gifts Santa had left us in the living room. I remember him tip-toeing into my room and whispering, "London.... London...." as I stirred he would jump as if I were blowing our cover in a bank robber, "SSSSHHHHH! LONDON!!! Santa came. Come see!" We would tip-toe into the living room and adjust the Christmas candy that Skyler and Liberty received appropriately. Somehow Santa always left us more than he left Skyler and Liberty. After going through everything we would eventually go get our younger siblings. After about the 20th time one of us went in to our parents room to tell them one of the glorious items Santa left us, Mom and Dad would get up and let us open our gifts under the tree (one at a time, always youngest to oldest). Then Mom would make cherry crapes (Aunt Courtney's recipe). We spent most of the day in our PJ's and usually went out to Grandma Messerly's house for more presents and Christmas dinner.

Our Christmas's are a lot different now. Everyone is older and we've all kind of moved past the old traditions, but I can't help but miss them. We are all going to be back together this Christmas Eve at Gavin's home for a family Christmas party. I'm getting that excited feel all over again; I can't wait to watch my son and little niece rip into their gifts. It is time for us to make traditions for our own family. I can't wait to see the look on Kelson's face when he can see and feel the magic of Christmas. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

Kelson was helping me wrap presents this morning.

He got a little tangled up.

He was not happy when I took the ribbon away.
