Oldies at the Prom

Tanner and I got the chance to chaperone the Prom last night. I thought Tanner was joking when he said we got asked and I was sure he was joking when he said he agreed to it. To my great surprise he was not.
It was such a neat Prom. Jeff and Chana Duffin hosted it in their barn and the theme was Footloose. Lots of girls came in shorter dresses and cowboy boots. There were definitely more people there than when I went to Prom. I didn't get a picture of Bridger and his date...Tanner was afraid I was going to embarrass him :) Tanner did a great at his job...being on parking lot patrol. He definitely laid down the law :)

{Baby Number 2 is on its Way}

We found out at the beginning of February and now that we have finally been to the doctor we can share our news :) I wanted to tell tanner in a fun way. I had an a feeling for a few days that I was pregnant. I went grocery shopping picked up a test and some doughnuts. Sure enough positive test. I was in a bit of shock. Of course I wanted to call Tanner right away but I also want to have a little fun. So I set it up kind of like an early Valentine's and we he got home I had these on top of the oven and told him to look inside the oven...

I took a video and it is hilarious. It shows plain shock and then excitement. It is priceless. Breckyn is running around saying "Happy Birthday" ha ha! We are excited for our family to grown and I will be more excited when I stop throwing up :)

We sent these pictures and the video of Tanner to our family to share our good news!

It was such a relief to finally go to the doctor and hear that wonderful heartbeat. It was fast ad strong - 164!

Who Loves Ice Cream?

Yesterday I went down to Burley with my mom for Aubrey's piano recital. On the way home we stopped at McDonald's for some ice cream. I looked back to access the mess on Breckyn and she just smiled at me and said. "Ice cream is 'icious', mommy!"





Merry Christmas!

I love this time of year and the time we get to reflect on the birth of our Savior and Redeemer. With all of the hustle and bustle of the season I really tried to find those moments to focus on the Savior and they truly do make a difference in the season. We had quite the week of festivities. My family wouldn't al be together on Christmas, so the Sunday before we got together at my mom's. ( with Braden's family and Dev's family). We enjoyed a delicious dinner ( as always) and then we enjoyed the nativity. I love watching the kids get dressed up. Lucky for all of the dad's in attendance we were in need of someone wisemen :) I took a video but no pictures darn it! Breckyn was an angel and got to follow Halle around, which she loved! Then of course at the end of the night we all opened presents. My mom spoiled all of us girls with Bosch mixers!

Tanner did get this picture of me playing the violin at my parents Sunday night. My mom always has us do our annual family talent show :)

 



Christmas Eve we went to Tanner's parents home. It was great and low key and easy. We enjoyed Papa Murphy's pizza! After dinner Tanner and I introduced them all to the Best Christmas Pageant Ever. It was a hit :) We watched the Nativity and that is always so special! Grandma and Grandpa Vollmer got all of the Grandkids these awesome upholstered chairs just their size. They were in love.
Christmas morning was great! Breckyn didn't want to get up, just like last year, but once she saw her toys she was fine. We had my parents over for Breakfast so we enjoyed some of the day with them. We went over to Aunt Jan and Uncle Brad's for dinner and it was AMAZING! Breckyn loved playing all day with EJ and Emily! We were definitely tired by the time we got home but we had sure enjoyed a great Christmas day!

Best Uncle Ever!

We watched Isaac and Hannah the other night while Braden and Rebecca were out. Hannah was so tired and would not go to bed for me, but Uncle Tanner must have the magic touch...

Bath Time and my Birthday!

I love bath time pictures! I have always felt that they are some of the sweetest memories. This girl loves baths and I am so grateful. I can put her in and hurry and run around and clean the other bathrooms or whatever needs done. She will stay in there for an hour. Sometimes I go in and refill the tub with warm water :)

I don't usually post pictures of myself but I got these cute leggings in the mail from my sister Heather for my birthday. I love them! Tanner took me out for my birthday while my parents watched breckyn. We had to stop at Costco and Winco for some groceries. You know you're getting old when your birthday date entails grocery shopping. We ended the night with a delicious dinner at the Sandpiper! It was a great birthday! 24 is going to be great!

Let the Season Begin!

You know its Christmas in Aberdeen when the street lights go up and the first Monday in December we have the Light Parade! There were some surprisingly good floats this year that made getting out in the cold worth it :) Then we go to the fire station to see Santa. Breckyn was less than thrilled...

I do know that every kid has to have a picture like this, so it definitely makes me laugh!
