Merry Christmas!!!

Will was very excited to open his presents, as you can see by the expression on his face!



He got the coolest book from Grandma JoLynn that has music and lights. He was mesmerized!



"More books? I better learn how to read quick!"


Sweet! A train!

Check out my new wheels! I got this Cadillac walker from Grandma and Grandpa Newbold.

Naughty or Nice??

Will's first encounter with Santa. I think Santa could see the word
"trouble" written all over this kids face...



"Hang on Santa, I gotta sneeze."

"I want a firetruck, a red one."


Better leave, Santa's getting sleepy.


I was proud to play a part as a "Who" in the ward's version of
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Actually, I was
embarrassed. It was fun though.

Will is a Pill.....




So, my dear friend and former roommate Jen, got married a few weeks ago. We were invited to attend a small luncheon for friends and family. We got there a little late, but slid into a table where some other guests were seated, most of which were strangers to us. No sooner had the salad plate been placed in front of me, than Will had a sudden bowel explosion. It was running out the bottom of his pant leg and all over my WHITE skirt. Lovely. I was so shocked, I just sat there for a moment and then quietly nudged Blair. He wrapped the baby up in a blanket and escorted him to the bathroom. Meanwhile, I had to pull the tablecloth over my entire lap. We managed through the lunch, and when it was time to go congratulate Jen, I held my coat over the main area and hoped no one would notice the side of my skirt. As I quickly said my congrats and was readying to make a dash for the exit, the photographer pulled towards the stairs and said, "Hurry and get in the picture. She wants one with all the former roommates. So, there I was, sitting sideways behind the beautiful bride. Will laughed all the way home.

A House Divided

I think these pictures speak for themselves. Don't ask me how we are able to make this work...it just does.

Of course, the son sides with the mom...at least for now.

Sorry this one's blurry!

Happy Thanksgiving!!


We were lucky enough to have TWO Thanksgiving feasts. Thursday we go to the Newbolds' and Friday is round two with my dad's family. This is the whole family gathered around at Grandma's house to play a little after dinner game.


I LOVE solid food!!


Will was tired out after all that turkey and mashed potatoes. Grandma was content to hold him as long as necessary.The aftermath...Will get's ready for church after a long Thanksgivng weekend. It is obvious he over did the pie just a little. He'll have to hit the gym come Monday.






Going Cold Turkey!!

My sister decided that it would be a great idea to run a 6k on Thanksgiving morning to jump start the old metabolism before gorging ourselves on turkey and stuffing. So, we ran in the race in downtown and boy was it cold! I actually felt my nose run and then stop...because it froze halfway to my lip! Okay, mabe that is a slight exaggeration. We all did have a great time though.

Before the race: Dad, Steph, Steve, Lisa, and me.

Our cold, but devoted fans.
