December

December was a crazy fun month. Lots of parties and shopping. Gage was such a champ with them all. For Greg and I, it was our first one with a kid. So it was different, but made Christmas so much more fun and exciting for us. These are just a bunch of random pictures from the month. The most exciting is probably the jumper. Thanks to Jaime, we have a jumper and Gage loves that thing! He will jump for 30 min to a hour which means a little free time for me to clean or cook or do whatever I want!!!!!! I never knew I would love a jumper so much. Thank you Jaime for saving my sanity at times!

The Carling Christmas party was awesome this year. Santa came!!! Gage got to sit on his lap and was good long enough to get a picture of him and his drooled on shirt(man, that kid has so much saliva). Greg made an amazing gingerbread house this year. He was so proud that we kept it till January before he would throw it out. Then Gage got to go bowling one day while I was working, heard it was way fun!

Christmas eve we stayed down in Vineyard with my parents. It was way fun to get everyone together... it's becoming a Christmas tradition that someone announces they're having a baby and this year it was Jordan and Sarah!!! We're so excited for them. Come August, Gage will have another cousin to play with! Christmas was so fun this year. It was fun to start some traditions, like Christmas pajama's and ordainment, in our own little family. Gage loved the wrapping paper, but was big eye's when he opened the train from Gunner and Addie. My mom made him and Chaz these fishing waders, they are so cute! She is so creative. I wish I had more pictures of the morning, but I eventually put my camera down and haven't got the pic's from my mom yet. Overall it was a great month and great to spend time with the families!

November


Not only is Gage crazy fun, but we hit a BYU women's game and headed up to Utah State to watch SUU men's play. We stayed overnight up there, Gage loved the swimming pool.
....Turkey time? Gage wasn't quite sure what to think of the turkey, until he finally wanted to eat it, then that's all he wanted ;-)

For Thanksgiving we went to Cedar City with the Carling's! We had so much fun. The drive down was a little intense, it took us 5 and a half hours with Gage, the blowout was one of our many stops. No worries though, we made it to the SUU game almost on time. It was fun to have all the cousin's together. They were Gage's favorite and we're always playing with him.

This was a way fun hike/ slot canyon we went up just outside of Cedar. Ben was mr. adventure and loved it. To say the least, out feet were soaked and sooooo cold! Would be so fun to do in warm weather... next time.
The games were a blast to go to. Gage loves them and gets so excited to watch all the movement, colors and then all the fans going crazy. His head is on a swivel the whole time. Ron does a great job with the boys and they have a good team this year. They are really fun to watch. We went and shot around one morning. The girls were announcing while Gage was giving us pointers from the bench.
