50 years

My Grandpa and Grandma's 50th wedding anniversary was coming up and they planned a huge vacation for our whole family the plan was to go on an Alaskan Cruise. We couldn't go because the Cruise line had a rule that wont allow pregnant women on the boat that are over 25 weeks. Both myself and My sister couldn't go. It was a huge bummer but I still wanted to do something nice for them so I decided to draw the Manti Temple were they were sealed. I used calk in sepia tones. I don't have the original finished drawing but it is inscribed with their sealing date and names at the bottom. My Grandparents are some of the most giving selfless people I know I love them to pieces!

The Happy Couple

They received it the day before everyone left for Alaska... I think they really liked it.

Merry Christmas! Yeah were pretty excited for this one it will be our first Christmas as a family of three, Weston's pretty excited too he just begged us to let him decorate the tree.

How cute is that?

 So I took these on Christmas morning and I don't know what I was thinking because I only took two and they were really bad...Just two really unfocused pictures for my first born child's very first Christmas. Sad day. Next Christmas is going to be different. I do love his little sleepy face though.

 Grandpa and Grandma Arbon got Weston this little bumbo seat he loved it and used it every day

 Grandma Herrud got Weston this grippy ball and he just went to town as you can tell. grrr!!!

Weston's Blessing

We really wanted to bless Weston around family so we hopped on a plane and flew to Idaho. We stayed with Nicks wonderful parents and later my family came down to spend the weekend with us and attend the blessing. We were surrounded with so much love it was such a great week.

                            Here are a few fun picture while we were messing around before the big day.

Wheres Waldo?

 We decided to dress up as a Wheres Waldos Family for Halloween! It was Weston's first Halloween I think he really liked it cant you tell? How cute are they?

 At our trunk or treat night it was pretty cold so we had it inside the church. There were stations in every room. Ours had three different cauldrons and you had to guess where the candy was, most kids didn't have enough patience but it was still fun and a little different.

Hershey Park Getaway

 So Nick and I decided that we needed a little mini vacation to just get out of the house. So at the last minute we decided to get a hotel room and drive up to Hershey Pennsylvania. It's about a hour and half away so it was a perfect quick trip. It was such an amazing drive it took us out into the country and really reminded us of back home.

Hershey Factory (Chocolate Magic)

 When we first got to the park we purchased tickets for the Trolley tour through town. It was an amazing experience we got a full blown history lesson of Hershey himself and all the amazing good he and his family has done.

 Our Guide and Driver were hilarious hey handed out goodies through our the tour and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Weston was the only child there it was October so we bundled him up pretty tight he was almost 2 months.

 This was a cute little ride that took you through the workings of the Chocolate Factory there was singing and dancing cows it was really fun.

Timi and Leslie Diaper Bag
this was my beloved Diaper Bag that I saved my whole pregnancy for... I loved it.  It was this trip that it was stolen out of our shopping cart at Target. Along with everything Weston and I brought with us for the weekend Phone Wallet, medicines and my wedding ring :( other than this horrid moment the weekend was pretty great.
