O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree....

Well, I had a little time on my hands this week, and after talking to my mom-who already had her tree up a week ago- I put up the Christmas tree and decorations! It was a lot easier that I thought it was going to be, what the Lucy and the Dog! But They helped a lot, and we got it all done in one afternoon! Ben was sure surprised when he came home from work! Now we can enjoy the Festivities much longer!

Our Christmas tree. I had to put it up so it wouldn't get chewed or ripped down!

Cute earmuffs... getting ready for the snow!

I just added the picture of Lucy and Charlie for fun!!

New Dresser

This past week I have been working on our new dresser... well, new to us! Ben's brother gave it to us and I thought, "I could do something good with that!" So I have been sanding with Ben's vibrating sander, but it was taking forever! So Ben had a friend at work who's dad had a belt sander, and that baby did the job!! So after a long hard week, I have finally finished and am very happy with the results! THANK YOU STEVE AND LAURA FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!




sorry no before pics! i guess i wasn't thinking!

TIME FLIES...

I cannot believe how fast this last year has gone by! This time last year i was huge pregnant with Lucy... and now SHE is getting huge! (in a super cute, good way!) Life seems to be going by so fast lately and Lucy will be ONE YEAR OLD next week, so i thought i would put up some pics of when she was a tiny newborn, which only seems like a few months ago!

The First night we brought Lucy home!

She was so tiny!

I love this picture! She looks so much like Ben to me!

Three months old!

Our Little Ballerina

This year for Halloween, Lucy's first, we decided we would dress her as a ballerina! (because i had already made her a tutu like 6 months ago!) I think she liked her outfit and she sure looked cute! We didn't do any trick-or-treating, on account of getting our new puppy! But I don't think that Lucy minded one bit! And there is less candy around the house for me to eat!

Christmas Came Early!

Well, this weekend was Christmas in our family! (well at least for me!) We were looking online at a few PUPPIES for sale in Utah, and i found some that were so cute!! so i showed them to Ben after work on Friday. We talked to our managers Sat. morning and Sat. afternoon we were on our way to West Jordan, UT to pick out our sweet little addition! We all loved him from the first time we met him! His name is CHARLIE! He has been so good to Lucy and I think that they are going to be great friends! We take him out about every hour and so far no accidents in our home, but it has only been a few hours! I am so excited for the fun (and time-consuming) years ahead for out sweet little family!

Just Hanging Out with Lucy

I just LOVE being Lucy's momma! I am so thankful that i GET to stay home with her and have fun with her! It would be so hard to leave her and miss so many milestones in her life! I am thankful that Ben is such a good husband and works so hard for Lucy and I, so that we can stay home together! I love my eternal family and am so blessed to have a beautiful, healthy little lady and a sweet caring hubby! I LOVE MY FAMILY!

Our little animal Lover

Lucy just loves animals....and we ALL love ice cream! So we like to go to Reed's Dairy and get the best of both! They make delicious ice cream and Lucy loves to go and visit the goats and sheep! I am glad that she likes animals, because I do too! One day we will have a little one for her to play with!! (an animal, i mean! Don't get any ideas!)
