We're a Happy Family!

We had such a great time over Christmas break! 

We got to Lyman late on December 19th so we could see my sister that weekend. We were even able to go to the temple, YAY! We spent Christmas there in Lyman with my family.

We got to Laramie the evening of the 26th and were able to see all of Matt's family there before we came back home on the 31st.
The parents with their two remaining children :)
Grandma and Grandpa with all their grandkids

Kyle family
Lane family
Nathan family (they borrowed Dean since they don't have kids yet, hee hee)

Our 8th anniversary was on the 30th so we went to dinner with all the married siblings a few nights before and then just the two of us went out for ice cream on the 30th. On the way home from our date this song (Shotgun Rider by Tim McGraw) came on and Matt actually told me it was how he felt about me and he never pays attention to song lyrics (and dislikes country) so it meant a lot for him to say that. :)

Roll, won’t you come roll with me slow, fast, full speed
Girl wherever sweet time takes us
Hang, with me down this old road
Only God knows where we’ll go
Don’t matter long as I’ve got your love

[Chorus]
I don’t ever want to wake up,
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, Oh O
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, Woohoo Oh O

Slide, slide over nice and close
Lay your head down on my shoulder
You can fall asleep I’ll let you
Dream, life aint nothing but a dream, don’t wanna be 
Cruisin’ through this dream without you

[Chorus]
I don’t ever want to wake up,
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, Oh O
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, Woohoo Oh O
No other shotgun rider, Oh O


We had a very mild but fun new years eve together just the 5 of us. We taught Brennen tripoley (he won) and after they were in bed we watched a movie. We did stay up until midnight but we had been staying up at least that late the whole trip so needless to say we were a bit sleep deprived and literally spent the rest of the break taking turns letting each other sleep. :)


My Seth is now 2 1/2 months old! He's been sick so much since he's been born and it makes it hard for him to sleep and be happy but the past week or so he has obviously felt better and has been SO happy when he's awake and has slept much better. He "talks" constantly and grins and giggles. Here are his 2 month stats and a couple of pictures. 
Weight: 11 lb 5 oz (18%)
Height: 22 3/4 inches (25%)
Head: 39 1/2 cm (52%)
2 months!


The other night at 11 weeks old at 11:00 PM happy as can be when he should have been sleeping!

I love all the pictures and the updates. I don't do a good job at keeping up the blog but I am glad you do. Makes me feel closer even when we aren't.
