A recap of the holidays and some pictures...

For Christmas this year we were in UT, because Creighton had to work :( But on the day before New Year's Eve we got to drive out to CA to visit with my family. While we were there, the little guy got to meet my brother Evan, who is going to BYU Hawaii--lucky dog!!, for the first time. He was great again in the car on the way there and back, but had a little bit of trouble sleeping while we were there. Not sure if he was going through a growth spurt or what, but he has been better ever since we have been home.

Here he is with Evan.

While in CA we went to the beach again, and this time got some better weather. We went to Dana Point which is right by my grandparents house, so we got to visit with them afterwards.

I look silly in this picture, but I love how you can barely see the baby with the blanket wrapped all around him--it was very breezy that day, but clear!

I love that we actually have a good picture of us, besides the fact that we really aren't in focus that well--bummer.

Now that we are back, I am really missing the warm weather--of course. I guess I can at least be grateful that it hasn't snowed since we've been back, knock on wood. I'm sure though, that that won't last for much longer. Oh well, at least Jan. is coming to an end, which means one more winter month will be gone! Yahoo!!

Before I get to some pictures of the little one, I just have to say Welcome Home to my brother Logan. He just returned home from his mission in the Philippines today. Hopefully I'll get to see him one day soon...I'm so proud of him, and am sad to see this journey be over for him. But I'm very excited to see him too. I've missed him so very much. Plus, he will finally get to meet the newest member of my family! How fun!!

Love you Elder Young!

He loves to grab things and put them in his mouth!


Look at those big blue eyes.

Mom and baby!

He is seriously such a cutie pie!!!!

He's always got his fingers in his mouth.

He looks like an angel here, all glowing--photography props to my husband!
