Idaho

My sister live in Idaho Falls and was in need of some help for work on her home

so our whole family went up to help with construction and painting.

though we spent some time doing those things we got a moment to head to the pool too. 

Both kids did great. Derrick had to work so I went alone and made it through without too much lost sleep.

Amy's 1st Birthday!!!!!

Amy turned one and I think she might be the smallest one year old
She only weighs 16lbs and is 27in we still love her though.
For her birthday we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and they have you sit on a saddle.
Then home for presents and cake and ice cream
Even though this little girl it tiny she can eat like a horse.
She ate half of her cake and didn't even bat an eye.
This little girl has come so far in one year.
I can't wait to see what next year brings.

Christmas

We had a very great Christmas this year together with family.
on Christmas Eve we spent with my family we decorated cookies for Santa
Then Played races and snag Christmas songs. After burning some energy we sat down and read
the birth of Jesus Bryce was a Shepard. After they got to open PJ's.
On Christmas Morning we got up and opened presents. Bryce had a blast with that this year.
Amy loved the wrapping paper and eating it.
We got ready for church and went to Sacrament and then off to Derrick's parents.
All the kids opened presents at the same time and it was mad chaos but fun.
We enjoyed dinner and then got home for some much needed sleep after an early morning.

Winter Swimming

Winter swimming at our house usually means going
out back to Grandpa's hot tub. He knows to keep the temp down
and all the grandkids love spending time out there.

Bryce turns 3!!!!

Bryce started his day off sporting on of Amy's bows
the day was hot enough that he got to play outside.
Then we ordered pizza since that is his favorite.
Bryce is really big into Cars this year so he got some of the cars 2 stuff.
He also got the movie.
then cake and ice cream and a dip in the hot tub.
It still amazes me how fast the time goes and how he went from this tiny bundle to the wonderful boy he is now.
