Uncle Joshy and Twins

Uncle Josh is so cute with the kids. He is such a good daddy and uncle!

My Big Boy

Ammon does NOT want to sit back or lay down any more. He loves to sit up and stand. He is constantly chewing on everything and is always so happy. He loves his rocking chair but it won't rock anymore when he won't sit back.

Bethy Babysitter

We are always so grateful for our spur of the moment babysitters. I'm not use to planning ahead for a babysitter yet. Thanks Bethy and Grandma Johnson for always being so willing to watch Ammon!

Washington here we come.

Ammon and I left for a week to move Josh and Krista up to Washington. We were so excited to see Grandmi mi and Grandpa Goodall. We are having so much fun playing with the babies. Tanya and Calvin and Tessa got here Friday night and we're having so much fun with Calvin, Jaylie and Ammon. We went to mom and dad's ward Christmas party tonight and all the babies sat on Santa's lap. I will post pictures when I get home. We are missing daddy and excited to come home but we will miss mimi and papa. It is gorgeous, snowy and cold here but we have a beautiful cozy home to stay in.

Snuggles

I'm just snuggling with my precious baby Ammon. He loves to sleep in my arms so I don't get a lot done when he's napping. He'll sleep in the rocking chair but it is out of batteries. I'm trying to atleast read up on everyone's blog while I'm just sitting here holding him. We had a bunch of people over for homemade pizza (thanks to Chris) last night and so my computer is on the floor and I'm typing with one hand. I love being a mommy though. It is so rewarding!

Christmas is here!

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I look forward to it all year. I just love the music and the spirit of giving. Ever since I was young I get so excited on Christmas Eve and I can never sleep. Darren called me from work yesterday and suggested we decorate for Christmas for family home evening. I was so excited. He loves to put the tree up and help me decorate. It's such a fun family acitivity. Ammon loves the lights and sparkling ornaments.

Cloth Diapers

So, I've been looking at the possiblity of using cloth diapers. There are a lot of pros and cons of both cloth and disposable. I bought 2 cute cloth diapers from a lady in Spanish Fork to try them out and I've just been using them along with disposable ones. I really like them for now but we'll see when he starts eating solid foods. Isn't he so cute in them!? I guess this is my way of saving the planet 4 diapers a day.
Ammon has been scratching himself a lot. I have to cut his fingernails every day in order to keep him from hurting his eye. In one of the pictures you can see 5 scratches on his face. He got these all in one night from ONE stinking finger nail that was a bit too long. I felt really bad.

The Joys of being a Mommy!

I was playing with Ammon tonight and he gave me a big smile and then wahlah... a big surprise! He was wearing disposable diapers here. This never happens with the cloth diapers!

Arizona

We had an awesome time in Arizona for the Teambuilders function. I loved Arizona in the winter. The weather was perfect and the cacti were so cool. We went swimming even though the pool and hot tub were a bit chilly outside. We had a blast!!! The babies were SO good! They didn't fuss at all during the entire trip. 12 hours down and 12 hours back.
Our leaders were amazing and we learned so much during the function. We are so excited to move forward. Brett Deimler spoke to us. He was hilarious and very inspirational. I am so grateful for Teambuilders and the blessing that it has been in our life. We don't know what we would do without it! Thanks Ledbetters, Bennetts, Hunters and Josh and Krista for never giving up on us and for inspiring us to be the best we can be! *

What a blast!

Our fabulous leaders have made such a difference in our life! We love them and appreciate all that they sacrafice for us!














The brand new ferrari was so beautiful! Darren took tons of pictures of it.















I thought these mountains were so cool. They are so different from the Mountains in Utah. We stopped at a little shack and looked at the Indian jewelry on the way. It was very beautiful!
