Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve - I have such cute kids :)

Well we survived the holidays and had a great time (Although I am glad to have my house back to normal again!) My mom and dad came down from Boulder for about a week and a half to spend the holiday with us. We had a great time with them and were of course spoiled with yummy caramel corn, cookies, and dinners out. They spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day here with my family watchin my cute kiddos open up presents. We must have been pretty good this year, because Santa definitely spoiled all of us!! Colby got an Xbox 360, games, and a new BB gun. Taylee got tons of toys that play music (she is such a little music kid). Josh and I got a new TV for our living room. We then got to spend a little time with Josh's family on Christmas day before Josh's mom had to go to work. Geoff and Danelle stayed up north with Danelle's family for Christmas but were able to brave the snow storm and made it down to spend New Years with us. We had a great little late Christmas celebration with them, complete with my dad's Chinese and homemade Eggrolls....wow! And my parents surprised us with a great gift!! They paid our plane tickets, hotel, and rental car for our family Orlando trip in June!! Josh and I's schedule worked out great so that we both had quite a bit of time off together through the holiday so that was nice to be able to spend so much time with him. Plus a few little white Christmas days... all in all it was a perfect holiday!!

NFR

On Monday we took off to Vegas with a couple of our good friends Gary & Jamie to go to the National Finals Rodeo!! It was the first time we had left Taylee overnight, so needless to say, Josh had to call my mom all night to see how his baby girl was doing haha. But it was such a great night!! The rodeo was so much fun!! Its always fun to be somewhere you've seen on TV year after year and fun to watch the cowboys and cowgirls you've heard about year after year... Trevor Brazile, Cody Ohl, Fred Whitfield, J.W. Harris... There were also quite a few cowboys from Utah in each event. Anyhow, after the rodeo we went back to the MGM and were playing slots and I had done horrible all night long, had not won anything... so I was tryin to waste the last of my husband's $10 so we could go up to bed and won $120!! Yay me!! It was by far one of the best Monday's ever!! Can't wait for next year!! I'll post a couple pictures, but they are not great since, I totally forgot to bring my camera, so I had to use Josh's phone for the pictures....

Redecorate

Well I redecorated the blog for Christmas. But not much to say, so I'll post more later :)

Family Pictures

We finally went and got our family pictures done!! A HUGE thanks to my cousin Kylie who did a great job with our pictures!! There are tons of great ones so here is just a little sneak peek! To see the rest you'll have to come visit me :)

Halloween

We had a good Halloween this year. Taylee was a devil and Colby was the "Halloween Horror" We got a kick out of Colby because he would tell everyone he was going to be the "Halloween Horror" however he was not to great at emphasizing Horr-or, so it would always sound like the "Halloween Whore" haha. And Taylee was a true devil since she would not take a nap ALL DAY long so needless to say, by 6 o' clock she was a bit grouchy. So we went with Colby to trunk or treat a little and then he went off with his friend Makayla and we took Taylee home. Hopefully next year will be a little more fun for her. But all in all it was a good weekend.

9 months

Yes, this post is a little late... I like to play the try and catch up game on my blog haha. Well 9 months has came and went and Taylee is now almost 10 months. She has 4 teeth and is now working on #5. She is such a happy girl most of the time and she has finally decided that other people besides her mom are okay. She loves to eat EVERYTHING, you put it in front of her, she will eat it. She is also very, very mobile... she is unstoppable haha. Love my baby girl

Ekker Ranch

A couple weekends ago we went up to Josh's grandpa's ranch out by Delta. We went with Josh's mom & dad, his brother, and nephew Jayden. We camped out there for 3 days, had some great dutchoven dinner and some great 4-wheeler rides. This was Taylee's first real campin trip... It was fun but she was a little stressful at times hahaha.
