Brooks finally decided to walk
My little baby decided that he would try this whole walking thing. He started about a week ago. He is too little to be walking around. He can go upstairs but has not perfected the going down yet. He enjoys sitting on the couch by me. He is whine and jump around next to me and I finally figured out that he just wants to sit in the couch like everyone else. He is talking more and even holds his hands during prayers. He makes me smile.
Christmas 2012
Well Christmas has come and gone. This year the excitement was in full force. Gray really got into Santa, our Elf Bullet and the advent calendar. Asher and Cohen asked and got Skylanders from Santa. Gray got the Mickey Mouse clubhouse from Santa, which occupied his whole morning. Brooks got Jungle Junction(animals on wheels-a Disney show) race track.
Asher and Cohen started collecting the skylanders figures before they had the game. Grandpa sent UPC symbols for skylanders. After receiving those they were hooked. They have loved their new game. Even better though, they got a new XBOX as well. They had a great day.
Gray was probably my favorite this year. He is really into Mickey as you know, so getting the clubhouse with figures was the best. He sat down and played with that for a log time. He wasn't into opening other presents. We got him to open his jake and the neverland pirates ship from Grandma and Grandpa, a Mickey chair, Mickey books and a jake sword. He was set with those. He had 5 other gifts but didn't care to open them. So, I decided to save them for his birthday which is 3 weeks away. Why waste presents on making him open them? So his birthday shopping is done. I can't remember what he got from Mary and George at this second. We opened presents at Thanksgiving, so forgive me.
Brooks enjoyed his race track thing and opened his few presents. He got a race car walker from Mary and George and a few other things. He mainly liked sitting on gifts, playing with wrapping paper and boxes.
I surprised Zach this year with cowboy boots, well kinda. I bought him a pair in OK and I was stoked I would have an awesome surprise for him this year. He came back from OK and started looking at stores for some...Seriously?!?! I told him just not to buy any. I also got two of the pictures he took in Alaska on canvas's for him. He got a leaf blower from my parents, which he has wanted for awhile. He got a Yeti cooler from his parents. I didn't know a cooler could be so expensive. Super nice and will come in handy on his camping trips. So overall, good Christmas for him.
I had a great one. I got clothes from my parents, a new insta hot water tank from Zach, hope this one works. Asher and Cohen spent their money and had some help from Zach buying me a gift this year. They picked out candles for me. They smelled several before choosing two. That was by far the best. They asked Zach to take them shopping to get me a present. They had this whole story about getting farm equipment. I also got a new and bigger kitchen aide from Mary and George, and new slippers. Wahoo!! Awesome to make things in.
It was a wonderful year as we celebrated the birth of our Savior. Zach and I really tried to make the focus the birth of Christ for FHE. I hope they understand that we have been given the best gift of all, and that is our Savior and through him we can live together with Him, our Father in Heaven, and our families forever. I am so blessed with 4 wonderful boys, an amazing husband who works so hard to provide for us and is obedient and faithful in his calling so we as a family can receive blessings. I have great parents who raised me in the gospel and who set good examples for us to follow. Great in-laws who have always treated me as a daughter of their own. I love my siblings and my in-law siblings. I have an amazing life, which I am so grateful for.
