temple square lights!



















sunday night jeff and i took abby to see the lights at temple square, and she loved it. it was so much better than taking her last year, she seems to just love everthing about christmas this year and it makes it so much fun. i think that temple square is the best place to go look at lights. everything up there is just amazing and we had a lot of fun.


christmas at gardner village







jeff and i got bored so we decided to check out the elf's at gardner village. they are really cute and its a fun free thing to do with the family so i recomend it to anyone!



decorating for christmas










i love decorating for christmas! and this year so did abby. she was so funny, whenever we would get out a decoration she would get a big smile and say "oh mommy thats beautiful" and play with it until we got another one out. its great to have the house all done and the spirit of chirstmas here.

seizure number 2




there are more times than i can think of when abby has gotten sick and as a parent you worry about them over and over and just want the pain to go away and want everything back to normal. Abbys first seizure was in january and that was by far the scariest day of my life. i cant tell you what goes through your mind when you watch your child go through something like that, no one knows unless you experience it for yourself (which i hope you never have to) but she made it through it. they say that once a child has a febriel seizure they are more likely to have another one until they are 3-5 years. i guess there is something in our brains that stops us from having siezures when we get fevers but its not totally developed in young kids until 3-5 years. so basically i guess this might not be the last one she has, and i hate that. abby got sick on weds and weds night is when she had another seizure and luckily jeff was here at home and did most of the work. we took her to the e.r. and found out she has bronchidous and that it was another febriel seizure. i am so glad that it is over and that she is getting better. she has been so tierd and mellow and weak and last night we were playing with her doll house and she just layed down and went right to sleep. poor girl was exhausted but she looked so cute i had to take a picture of her. today she is doing better and acting a little more like the cute girl i love.

Color me mine





We took abby to color me mine a couple of weeks ago and i thought it was awesome. i have herd of it before but have never been there. for those of you who dont know what it is, its just a store you go to and get to pick out something you want to paint and they have all of the paints there for you and when you are done they fire your pottery for you and its awesome. we made a plate and a bowl for a abby and i am not sure who had more fun between jeff and i or abby.

Cornbellys

















cornbellys at thanksgiving point was well worth it. we have never been before this year but abby loved it and we actually liked it with her. they had a lot to do to keep you busy for a long time and it was a great family night!




winters here!



i love winter cause i love all the winter clothes for abby. i think the beanie look is my favorite!
