Escape the Fate

So Zach got to go to an "Escape the Fate" concert a little while back. To tell you the truth I don't know anything about the band except that they are a rock band and he likes them :) Anyhow at some point he and his friends heard the bassist was in the restroom so he and his friends decided to "make use of the facilities" so they could meet him. Looks like their plan worked. I guess it worked out pretty well because Zach said after the bassist ( sorry I didn't get his name) left the restroom he was mobbed by a bunch of girls. Good times.

Snow Day

.This was last week when we finally got enough snow to build a snowman. I know he doesn't look like it in this picture, but Jamison was having so much fun playing in the snow. My favorite part was when I finally got his gloves on BOTH hands long enough to show him that now he could touch the snow and it wouldn't be cold. Once he realized that he was in heaven.

Offical first day of Nursery

This is Jamison just before heading out for his first official day in Nursery at church. He has come in for the first hour of play a few times but today was the first full nursery day. Wow. It is amazing to see how much he is growing. It seems like just yesterday I had this new little baby that I would just sit and hold in the chair all day long. Time is going so fast. Can I say that enough on here, I don't think so.

**WARNING** This too, could happen to you

This is what can happen when you let your husband decorate the Christmas tree. (Note the pacifiers) :)

First Presidency Christmas Devotional

12/7/08
Tonight we were supposed to go with our friends the McNeelys to the Christmas Devotional at the Conference Center in Salt Lake, but unfortunately they weren't able to come down after all. But they were very sweet and sent us the tickets to go anyway.

We went with Rhonda and Verl while Andy and Aubrey watched Jamison at our place and Dan and Tyler came to hang out with Jamison too. I have to admit that I started to have a small anxiety attack this afternoon while getting ready to leave. We have only left Jamison 3 times and for some reason this one was really freaking me out. He was fine of course, I don't think he even knew we were gone.

Anyhow, the devotional was really nice. Great talks, great music, very relaxing. The Prophet conducted and spoke at the end. I guess it is one of the perks of our time in Utah, getting to see the prophet in person. We are very lucky.

When the devotional was over we made our way to the parking structure feeling joyful and filled with the Christmas spirit, got to the 4th floor, below ground that is, and sat in line about 10 feet from our parking spot for 1HOUR!!!! After the first 15 minutes Terry had had enough and went up to the street and directed traffic for 45 minutes. By the time we got up to him he was a popsicle, but had had a good time. I was a bit jealous. I've always wanted to do that. He sure saved the day. GO TERRY :)

So begins the holiday season. Thanks again Amy and Jason. I sure wish you guys could have made it.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

I caught Jamison in his room the other morning singing his favorite song, Itsy Bitsy Spider. I think it is so fun to watch him dancing around in his room. How is it that they grow up so fast!!

Gingerbread House

12/5/08 Tonight was a fun night. We went to the bountiful Light Parade. It was a cute little parade. Jamison of course loved the "floats" and cars all covered in twinkle lights. I just wish it was a little longer. Then we came home and started to work on our gingerbread house. I had purchased one of the Gingerbread house kits at Costco last week and thought we would have fun doing it tonight. Jamison was VERY excited, he was running around like a crazy boy with the bags of candy. He was so funny. I was hopeful that he would actually decorate and enjoy it but thought he might be a little young still to get it. Nope, he totally got into decorating. He of course tried to pop every other piece into his mouth, but all in all he did a great job putting the candy bits in the icing then licking his fingertips after each application. :) We did have to abandon the project halfway through because it was taking forever. But we'll try to finish it tomorrow. Fun times.
