Christmas and Blessing

It's hard to believe that Christmas has already come and gone. These past few months have just seemed to fly by! We had a wonderful Christmas and although Lucas was not able to show it, he was very excited about his first Christmas :). We started off by having a little alone Christmas at home on Christmas eve where we opened presents with Lucas. He got a Bumbo and so far he seems to enjoy it. After our little Christmas at home we headed to the Meier's for a very yummy dinner, my mother-in-law is a very good cook! We then opened presents and that was quite eventful. We got our nieces shoots n latters and my niece Cambrie informed us that they already had that game, then 5 minutes later they opened another game of shoots n latters from Nichole and Chris




We recieved alot of nice things this year. We are very blessed. Lucas was a spoiled little boy this year. His favorite so far seems to be his play mat. He is a very happy little boy when he is on it. The mat has three little animals dangeling each has little shapes hanging off of them. He is really good at grabbing onto them, he tries so hard to get them into his mouth, but as much as he tries it is never going to happen.


We had a nice night at the Meiers and the next morning we opened a few more presents and had pie (yum) We left early and went to my parents and had waffles (yum again) and opened more presents, Lucas sadly slept through this entire event. We had a yummy dinner (I really must have gained a million pounds these past few days...)
To top everything off we had a little b-day party for Larissa thats evening and that was fun too. The night ended with some rock band at the Meiers.
The next day we went to St George to go shopping (Colby just loved it :p) It was Larissa's birthday and we were glad she came with us. I can't believe she just turned 21! I always thought she was this goody good girl but man i guess turning 21 and legally being able to buy drinks just hit her! She is quite the funny drunk though!..for anyone wh actually knows her you know that last statement was totally false and she wouldn't even consider buying a drink! Anyways the shopping trip was fun and I got some nice deals!
After returining to Cedar (larissa stayed in St george to go to dinner with my parents) we headed to Milts to meet Nick and Kasandra for dinner. It was a nice meal, Colby and i split a steak...basically i ate the salad and he ate the steak (nasty raw meat) and we split rice. After dinner we all dropped our kids off somewhere (after getting a list of demands my parents agreed to take Lucas...lol they would have watched him either way though) and went bowling. It was couple vs. couple, guess which awesome couple won? Yeah thats right Colby and I are awesome, we won by a whole two points lol. It was a fun night.
Today was Lucas' baby blessing. I can not believe how big he is getting. He looked so cute in his little blessing outfit. I was sp nervous for Colby and I don't even know why! I knew he would do a great job, and he did. It was a really great day. We held the blessing at the Meiers and it was a nice little gathering. we had a delicious lunch afterwards thanks to my wonderful mother in-law and we were able to get some good pictures of family.



Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Years

Holidays and Life

Lucas is now two months old and I can hardly believe it. It feels like time is going by so quickly, except maybe for those 3 am feedings. At his 8 week check up he was 9 lbs 9 oz and just about 22 inches long. He is in the 14-15 percentile for weight and and 13% for height. With how big he is getting it's hard to think that he is on the smaller side for his age. He is so alert these days and some days I think he must think he is alot older then he is. He goes many days with so little sleep during the day. Most days he only takes 1 or 2 hour long naps. I wish that meant he slept through the night but that is not happening yet, but i think were getting pretty close, he's doing pretty well. A few weeks ago he got his first haircut

Wednesday night before Thanksgiving Colby and my Uncle Ron and I went up to Provo to pick my sister up so she could come home for Thanksgiving. It was alot of driving and I missed Lucas (who stayed at my moms) but it was fun. My family went down to St. George for Thanksgiving dinner and then Colby Lucas and I went his parents house. We got to have some yummy homemade pie and play Beatles rockband.

We decided to do some Christmas shopping on black Friday, although we got a really late start we were still able to find some good deals. We were even able to find Colby jeans that fit him (which is a hard thing to do!) After shopping we met Vicki, Dana, DJ, and Claire at Texas Roadhouse for dinner. After we went back to Vicki and Danas to visit, and so Claire and DJ could see Lucas. Unfortunatly Lucas was overly tired and hungry and had a rare cranky night.

We recently bought my uncles car and it has been so nice having two cars. It makes life so much easier! It will really help when we both start classes in January. We also have been working on getting life insurance and working on a will, both are grim to think about using but we know its best to be prepared.
