Happy Holidays

As usual, I need to catch all of you up on our Holiday season. (I am terrible about keeping up) This year we had Christmas twice! We went up to my parents cabin the weekend before Christmas and celebrated up there; opened presents, had a big feast.. the whole deal. Then the following Tuesday we left for California to spend the 'actual' Christmas with Kevin's family. I'm not exactly sure why, but I didn't take any pictures while I was in Cali and the photos I got from Kev's mom I can't post. Sorry!! There were some really cute ones. Here are some photos I do have:
We love sweatsuits!! Nani got her the cute boots. (she has some in brown as well)

Ellee loves Bostyn, especially holding her!

We made sugar cookies!! Of course Ellee just wanted to eat the first one she frosted, part of being a kid :)

Me and Ellee frosting

All the girls out in the snow

Bostyn sledding.. go mom go!!

Mommy and Bostyn. Brrr... it's cold!!

Bostyn has flour on her face here from making sugar cookies

In my last post, I told you all how much Bostyn and Jynx love each other. Well, here is a video of her petting him. She saw me patting his belly and started doing the same. Haha.. what a cutie!

Bostyn is CRAWLING!!! Well.. arm crawling that is. We have been patiently waiting for this little girl to start being mobile and it's finally here! We are so proud of her... she just wanted to take her own sweet time.

Jynx, Snow & One Bada** girl!!

Bostyn is SO in love with Jynx! She gets excited everytime she sees him and always wants to play on the floor with him.

It snowed!!! I was overly excited one morning when I found that it had snowed over night! I absolutely LOVE the snow.. especially when it snows in St. George.

I am in love with this photo of Bostyn. She looks like such a Bada**. .. haha. I think she was probably wondering, "What the hell, mom? Give me my food and put the camera down!"

Week of Wonder

I have alot to catch up on!! So bare with me.. We dedicated Bostyn at our church the Sunday before Thanksgiving. It was so wonderful because Kevin's family was able to be there as well as my parents and my brother's family. We truly felt blessed to have so much support. Here are some pictures of that day: This year for Thanksgiving we went up to my parent's cabin. There wasn't much snow up there, but it sure was cold!! It was nice to spend time with my parent's, though. Here are a few pictures we took up there... of course most of them are of Bostyn! (Haha)

Bostyn is finally getting some hair!! We had SO much fun in the bath one night that I just HAD to snap some photos!
This last one is my favorite. CHEESE! Haha.. She is too much fun.

So Bostyn is working on being more mobile... It's taking a little longer for her, but she's getting there. She can now pull herself up to a standing position. Her legs are still stiff, but they are getting better. She also got a walker from her Papa (my dad). She really likes it! The funny thing is she moves backwards.. oh well, as long as she's moving! Here are some more photos of our precious girl:

Since Bostyn is getting more mobile, she is enjoying the jumper her noni got her months ago. Here's a video of her enjoying this:
(sorry it's sideways, I always forget when I'm videoing!)

Bostyn Laughing

Bostyn and I were playing yesterday afternoon and I got her laughing pretty good. Kevin wasn't home, so you can't see her face very well.

Enjoy!! We had so much fun!

Clap Your Hands

I have been clapping Bostyn's hands together for weeks and finally yesterday she did it on her own!! I was so proud of her. We were watching a basketball game on TV last night and she saw the people clapping and she started clapping.. haha.. I love it! Here's a lil' video of her clapping:

Bostyn's 1st Birthday Party

Bostyn had a costume halloween birthday party last Saturday. This came a went WAY too fast!

Here are the photos:
(sorry they are not in order!)


She was digging on this puzzle game Papa brought! Or should we say.. drooling..

Bostyn's cousins. Gigi, Ellee, and Bostyn.

Get those fingers in it!

Opening presents.. Thank you everyone! She LOVES everything.

Bostyn's cake (before it was destroyed) was made by my cousin, Kimberly, and was the Mickey Mouse Club House... Halloween style!

Playing with Ellee

My mom and dad dressed up as Bert and Ernie. Haha.. NICE!

Kimberly and I... Flash back to the 50's! (those are wigs!.. looks real, huh?)

The cutest Bumble Bee EVER!

What do I do, mom??

Here is a video of Bostyn eating her first cake.. O boy..

Thank you everyone for coming to Bostyn's birthday party! I truly appreciate all of you.. Sorry I wasn't the best host. I hope you enjoyed yourselves!
