The Many Smiles of Rebecca.
There are so many times when pulling out my camera I am faced with this:
A Smiling Happy Baby Girl!
Eating cake and loving every last bite!
This look was her puzzled, cause she couldn't figure out why she couldn't play with Colby's toy.

Our Baby!
We were SO BLESSED to have our baby boy come and live with us after 4 years! It is so great to have him home, and he is adjusting as well as we had hoped. Here are a few pictures from the day he came home and how lovely it was!
Swimming Lessons
For the month of January we signed Aubrey up for swimming lessons. She was so excited to go 3 times a week. She loved being able to wear her two Ariel swimsuits. And boy getting her out of the water was a chore.
There were so many things as a mother that I loved about this class. I enjoyed being able to watch her learn new things everyday. There was only her and one other kid in her class so the attention was always there. It just made me feel safe for her, not being able to be in the water with her. Her teacher was AMAZING! I loved that she was informative to the parents and explained the areas that she needed to work on. She passed her first class with flying colors. She has two things that she can do, but needs practice. So excited for the next time she goes back.

New Years!
For New Year's it was pretty exciting around here. We started the evening with a light dinner, followed by fireworks. Not to mention how COLD it was out there. Frozen hands in a matter of moments, but Oh was it fun!
And just after this picture was taken at 7:40 pm.... the kids were PJ'd and in bed at 8.
For the rest of the evening Don and I watched movies and took it easy. When Midnight hit it was kissy kissy and then bed! Hope your New Years was great and you partied like there was no tomorrow!

Christmas with the Jordans
We were lucky enough to spend the day after Christmas with Don's family. We had a great time celebrating with his family. Celebrating with the Jordan's is a little different from my family in that there are more people there to celebrate. It is great spending time with lots of people that you love and they love you. Another year under our belts and many more to come.
Can't wait for more times like these with the Jordan's. Merry Christmas everyone!
Christmas Day
It was a BEAUTIFUL morning!

Christmas Eve
We celebrated Christmas Eve this year with my family up in Bountiful. Getting there was the hard part. I headed to the store to pick up the goodies that I was set to take, when I recieved a call from my hubby. So I dislocated my knee and I can barely put any preasure on it. (Seriously!!! On Christmas Eve you had to go and do something like that!?!?!?!) The killer part was when we got to the Instacare. The estimated time from check-in to seeing the doctor was 2 HOURS!!! Again SERIOUSLY!!! It seemed liek everyone and their dog chose that day to get hurt.
Anyway, we were seen by the doctor and they took x-rays to see if anything was broken. Luckily there was nothing showing in the x-rays about it being broken just possibly torn ligaments.
So showing up two hours late for the party turned out to be great. The turkey was a little late in cooking time and so we got there just as it came out of the oven. We had a great time celebrating with my family and loved seeing all the kids faces when they opened all their gifts.
I have to say my favorite reaction of the night was Aubrey with her BIG gift from Grandma and Grandpa. She received a Tinkerbell themed scooter. When she opened it, said with gasps in between almost every word, " It's my... It's my... It's my NO FALL SCOOTER!!!!" She has loved watching all the kids around the neighborhood ride their scooters but doesn't have the balance yet to use the two wheeled scooters and this scooter has three wheels. I tell you it was a HIT!!!
Rebecca received her first dolly. And loved it, if you can't tell by the expression on her face.
A Tinkerbell Blaze Vet Kit.
Little people school bus
My wonderful gift was a new pot and pan set, and not just any, a Rachael Ray Set. I LOVE IT!!! It is so amazing! Thanks Mom and Dad!
And look and that beautiful face
And then this awesome puzzle was given to Don. It is a maze game enclosed in a ball, and the goal is to get through all 100 steps and reach the end... getting harder as you go of course. It is a blast, and so frustrating!!!

Halloween 2010
Needless to say this is long overdue. For Halloween 2010 we stayed in our neighborhood. Aubrey was very excited to get all dressed up as Snow White! We did our annual Halloween dinner of taco soup before heading out. We were so grateful that the weather decided to be nice to us after a while. It started to downpour just about 5:30 and lasted for a good hour before letting up. But then the rest of the evening was beautiful!
Dressed as Snow White and a Giraffe we headed out for an even of fun!
We met with Superman and a dinosaur for part of the evening.
At the very end of the evening we had two tired girls.
Our evening ended early with two girls in be by 8 and us parents relaxing. Next year we may celebrate a little longer with the kids being just a smidgen older. :)

Life Lessons
Well first and foremost.... WAY too long since my last post! I will have to take some time to catch up here in the near future. But until then you get to read what is on my mind.
In these past few weeks I have made mistakes that have affected people around me. Being confronted with my statements and how it was perceived made me realize that I am the one in the wrong. I have no excuses for my behavior and if I have a difference of opinion I need to thing about what I am saying before it is said so that I can be more aware of those around.
In the four and a half years that I have spent my life with a wonderful man, he has periodically reminded me of a simple part of being human. As humans we are not perfect, but by living here on this earth we have the option to either continue in our ways and distance ourselves from our Heavenly Father, or to learn from our mistakes and change our ways for the better. Sadly I have not taken this in stride and my ways are far less than perfect.
I am grateful that I am surrounded by people in my life that are there to help me in many ways. I have wonderful friends that are honest and open with each other. I have wonderful parents that have given me the tools to shape me to who I am. And I have been blessed with a larger family that I married into that have shown me new ways.
In saying all of this, I would like to apologize if I have ever done wrong to you or someone you know. My past actions can not change, but using those actions, good and/or bad, as a stepping stone in my life to realize what kind of person I want to strive to be. I look forward to the future near and distant. Thank you all for being in my life no matter how small. You have made an impression. And thank you for being who you are.
