Christmas

This was Skyler's first Christmas and our first Christmas playing Santa! It was a lot of fun. It was a very busy holiday! On Christmas eve we went and saw Grandma and Grandpa Modahl. They give Skyler the cutest little beanie. He looks like the biggest stud! Then, We went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Tyler's for Christmas eve dinner. Skyler had a lot of fun playing with his cousin Sayge! Christmas Day came and when I was growing up my Grandpa Horsey would always come up and watch me and my sister Nicki open presents! Well, my dad wanted to start the tradition with Skyler! My parents and Aunt Nicki came out in the bad snow storm Christmas morning to watch Skyler open all of his presents! After they we did our Christmas we got ready and went to Grandma and Grandpa Bronson's house to have lunch and watch it snow like crazy mad! Then it was off too Grandma and Grandpa's Crazy's house for dinner (Like I said).. It was a very busy holiday! I know that Skyler had not a clue what was going on but he loved all of his toys that he got from everyone. It was fun watching him open presents because he was not very interested in them. He liked the bows and the hungers that the clothes came on. I know that we loved seeing all of our family. Thank you everyone for all the fun stuff everyone gave Skyler and us!!

This was a Skyler's Gift from Santa! He likes to make car noises.

Skyler got an ELMO live for Christmas and was watching it. He love it.



Aren't we cute?

Our little snow angel! We took Skyler Sledding!!

What a fun, but busy weekend! We can't wait for the New year!! This year has been great and I can't wait to see what next year brings as Skyler gets older!

Skyler and Santa

So, Skyler met Santa for the first time on Sunday! We got to the mall early in hopes that we would beat the line but I was wrong! We waited for an hour and half! Skyler feel asleep waiting.

I have heard horror stories from other parents that have taken there kids to see Santa and they scream and cry.. so, I was really worried about what he might do because Skyler has stared being really scared of strangers. But, Skyler passed with flying colors! It was so cute, when Drew put Skyler on Santa's lap he looked up at Santa and started patting his belly then this beard and then touched his nose. It was the cutest thing ever seen! It was like he was trying to see if Santa was real.

Skyler loves Santa!

Almost!!

Skyler has the formation of crawling down... Now he just needs to move!! He just seems to bounce in place and laugh! What a silly boy!

What keeps me warm!

Jacket?............ Check!
Gloves?......... Check!
Beenie?............Check!
Blanket?...........Check!

Looking like an idiot to where I can't move.... CHECK!!!

Cocktails anyone??

This weekend we went to my best friends dad's Annual Cocktail party! It's always so much fun to get all dressed up and party with your friends! All of us looked so awesome and had such a great time!!! Thanks Jerry and Merideth for the awesome party!

Before the cocktail party we stopped over at our friends Matt & Jenny's Annual Browning Christmas bash! It was great to see all over our old friends that we don't get to see as much. Drew and I felt a little over dressed because we where headed to the cocktail party.. but, it was still good to see everyone!

I lOvE ChRiStMaS!!!!

So, This year I got to get new stuff for my Christmas decorations because I was sick of the same ones that I have had for the last 6 years! Drew's mom helped us out and gave us some outside decorations! Thanks Lisa! I thought everything looked so great that I had to show everyone! I just love decorating my house this time a year! Drew did a great job decorating the outside! Thanks babe! xoxo

Bath anyone?

Crazy Hair!

I went in to wake Skyler up for the day and he must of had been tossing and turning all night because when I put him down for bed it's right after he gets out of the bath and his hair is flat, not spikey like how I normally do it, but last night he had pushed himself all the way to the top of his crib and his hair looked like this!! A comb over!! It made me laugh so hard!! The picture does not do it justice!

Skyler Loves Thanksgiving!!

What a great day! Skyler's first Thanksgiving! We went to Drew's Grandma's house for lunch and to what a great surprise Sarah, Sayge and Travis showed up!! So, we had a full house! Then we went to my mom's house. Skyler tried Grandma Crazy's rolls and sweet potatoes for the first time! Boy did he love them. Then on Saturday we went up to Grandma and Grandpa Modahl's house and had Thanksgiving there!! I just love this time of year! You get to see and spend time with friends and family!

What I'm Thankful for:

I have SO much to be thankful for this year! I have a wonderful husband that is my best friend. Without is love and support I would not be where I am today. Thank you babe! He has given me the greatest gift that anyone could ever ask for, My son Skyler! I'm thankful that he his healthy, happy little boy growing into a little man. I'm also, thankful that I have a roof over my head and both Drew and I have great jobs to help provide for our family. I'm thankful for all the love and support that both of our families have given us! Our relationships have grown so much with them. They help us out so much with Skyler. With out them we would be lost! Thanks everyone! I'm also thankful for our friends! We have the best laughs, memories and fun times with them and we consider them family! I'm thankful that Drew and I both are healthy. But last but not least I'm thankful for Allie and Gator! They bring so much joy and happiest too our lives! I hope that everyone has been as blessed as we have this year and has lots to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We all have enjoyed the book so much that we could not wait until the move came out! This weekend we planned a girls day!! Lunch and Edward!! ha- I mean Twilight! Thanks girls!! Can't wait for the next one!! love ya all!! xoxo

Skyler first tooth!

Yup! It's true!!! All the drooling, the stuff anything in his mouth humanly possible.. does have a meaning, He got his first tooth! It has broken the gums but has not pushed up all way! Only 31 more to go!

Yea Me!

So, At work they have this thing that's a pretty big event called "recognition". It's all the top people in Salt Lake Division that get to attend. Well, I got to attend this quarter. This was my first one, the last one they had that I was invited too, I was having a baby. So, this time when I got invited I was not going to miss it. They have it fully catered with the yummiest of food, prizes, games and a super cool award. Yea for me!

4 Generations

4 Generations of Modahls

Drew's Grandparents came down last weekend and they meet Skyler for the first time!

6 month check up

Skyler went to the doctor's today for his 6 month check up! The doctor said that he is a perfect, happy baby! I can't believe how big he has gotten. He now weighs 19 pounds and is 27 inches long! He is still in the 75% percentile on weight, height and head. He had to get 6 shots today.. and it not the happiest lil' man! I think he cried harder this time then the times in the past! It hurts my heart :-( but, Dr. Bean did tell me that he has 2 teeth that are almost ready to come in.. she said give it a couple weeks. Explains why he has been so pleasant to be around!! hee-hee. I just love the Dr. Bean! She is great! I was asking her about burping Skyler and she said that we don't have to anymore- And I explained that Drew is so headstrong about it, and she just laughed and said " If that is what he likes to do that let him." She is so cute! We just love her!

Allie and Gator will not leave Skyler alone today!! He took a nap and they both snuggled up on the coach with him. Either they really love him.. or.. they where really cold- the verdict is undecided at this time..

Michelle turns 25!

My best friend Michelle turned the BIG 25 on friday! We threw her a suprise party! Thank you to everyone that showed up! We had such a great time!

Happy Birthday Mucha-cha!! Love you to death!

HI Everyone!!

Mom wanted to go get my pictures taken because I’m 6 months old. So I thought I would share them with you. I have 2 halloween costumes because mom bought me one and Grandma and Grandpa Bronson bought me the other one! I love them both! I look like a stud!
I have gotten so big. I have mastered rolling over and sitting up by myself. And boy, was that hard- But I got it. I have also started to eat baby food. I really love sweet potatoes and HATE green beans. But, mom keeps feeding me them. One day she will figure out that I don’t like them. I’m in the stage in my life where I grab for everything I can and put it in my mouth… I have also found a new friend his name is ELMO. And I get so excited when I get to see him! But, I think my favorite part of the day is when I get shower with dad. He lets me play in the water forever. I like to lick it like my doggies. It tickles my tongue.

Well, I have to go now.. It’s naptime hope to see you soon-
Love,
Skyler

Skyler.. Skyler.. Skyler!!

I had to post this picture!! I just love it!!

Last trip!

So, We went to the dunes this weekend. It was the last trip of the season. Drew is really sad about it. But It's OK.. because it will just make the winter go by faster. I honestly think this was the funnest dunes trip I have ever had. It was so lade back and fun. We got there Thursday afternoon and left Saturday night- For some reason Gator was throwing up really bad at my mom's and I was worried and wanted to come home. . . But no worries he is doing tons better now.. it must have been all that birthday cake.Ü But, this trip had tons of memories.. laughing at the camp fire, almost blowing up camp, and the famous boys riding the dunes naked.. Can't wait til next year!

Happy Birthday Allie and Gator!

Allie and Gator turned 4 years old today!! We love having them in our lives! Happy Birthday my crazy twins!! We love you!

PuMpKiN FuN!!

So, we decide that it was time to get into the HALLOWEEN sprit and paint pumkins! We had a great time and I think all of our master pieces turned out great! Thanks Bj and Jess for having us over!

Entertertaining himself

Boy.. Painting pumpkins not so much there thing- Wii is-

Our master pieces

LiL' man was out for the count!

Gotta love little boys!

So, I got this really cute e-mail from my friend Jessica and I had to post it because I thought it was hilarious.

GOTTA LOVE LITTLE BOYS Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter. The man at the counter asked the older boy, 'Son, how old are you?' 'Eight', the boy replied. The man continued, 'Do you know what these are used for?' The boy replied, 'Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either one'.

Busted!!!

So, you know that saying "what happens at "GRANDMA'S stays at GRANDMA'S." Well, aunt Nicki loves to take pictures.. and she gave me some insight on what happens at grandma's and grandpa's when I'm not there!! Skyler does everything from bike ridding with Grandpa, too getting to many speeding tickets in his race car!

Thanks, Mom, Dad and Aunt Nicki for being so great to our son! We love you guys! xoxo
