Christmas in Sunny St. George!!

Hey All!!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We had SO MUCH FUN! We spent the 22nd-26th at Gma. Kim's and Gpa. Danny's house. It was a little chilly but the sky was blue the whole time. The kids (especially Carter) had a blast playing with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt McKenzie, Aunt Courtney, and Uncle Casey. We were so sad that Uncle TJ, Aunt Hanna, and Uncle Josh couldn't be there. That would've been the only thing that would've made it even better. We went to movies, played games, and Ryan & I even got to go on a lunch date!! My mom and dad are so good to us! We ate and ate and ate mom's yummy food until we thought we were going to burst! And they gave us great gifts and were so much fun to hang out with. Santa gave Carter a train set that he has hardly stopped playing with and Rylee got some cute clothes. They both got so much from grandmas and grandpas it's impossible to list. Most importantly it was great to be with family and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas together. My parents have always been so good at remembering Christ!!

Ryan

I know I said in my last post that Carter was the love of my life, but what I really meant is that he is extra special to me and that we have a special bond that I've never had with anyone else. RYAN is the love of my life. We have spent many years (ok only 9 but that's long for people our age:) together laughing. He can make me laugh when I am SO mad at him. He is a great husband and dad and best friend and I am so grateful that we were married in the temple. Love ya Ry!!

Carter David

A Little Bit About Carter

At the risk of sounding extra cheesy, Carter is, simply put, the love of my life. Not that I love him any more than Ryan or Rylee, just in a very different way. He made me realize how much I LOVE being a mom. We seem to have a special bond. I guess there's just something about the first baby! Who knows!! Anyways...Carter is CRAZY in a good way. He is so curious about EVERYTHING and he LOVES to push buttons. Anything with buttons quickly becomes his favorite toy. Even if it's just the vending machine at the hospital!! He has a way of knowing exactly how far he can push me before I go over the edge. He always stops being naughty at the exact moment before I am about to lose it. He is very sensitive to how I am feeling. He is so loving towards me. If I am crying he gets really concerned and gives me a famous Carter hug. He has an AMAZING sense of humor too!! He laughs at the silliest things (especially me)!! He is also very extreme with his emotions & I love that!! He either loves something or he hates it, there is no in between.
He LOVES:
Buzz Lightyear
Toy Story Movies
Mommy
Daddy
Rylee
Grandmas & Grandpas
Aunts & Uncles
Cousin Chase & Cousin Baby girl Egginton
Going to both grandma's houses
Visiting the cabin in Bear Lake

He HATES:
Being "stuck" in a car seat
Bandaids
Small, confined spaces
going to the doctor
His face washed
going to bed
being ignored

Some of his hilarous phrases include:
"is it funny mommy?"
"To Infinity and Beyond"
"Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue"

He is the funniest, sweetest little boy ever. I feel SO blessed that he is mine!!

Rylee Danny

Just A Little Bit About Rylee

Rylee is just 2 months old, but she already has a personality!! She is very much a DRAMA QUEEN!!!!! She knows what she wants and she wants it NOW. As much as I hate to admit it, she probably gets that from her mom. She also seems to have quite a sense of humor. Sometimes when I am trying to get her to smile I do the silliest things and she looks at me with this smirk on her face and I just know she is thinking "Mom if you only knew what a DORK you are!!" She also seems to have a secret alliance with her big brother. When he starts having a fit, she ALWAYS joins in!! She LOVES to be held and just barely started sleeping longer than 3 hours at a time at night. She has already become our little princess.
