Christmas in Star Valley!


Lella is pretty close to walking so we bought her this toy that she can push and walk with. She loves it!






I was so excited this year to give Tyrell his gifts. The big one I gave him was a new 40 cal hand gun. He had no idea he was getting it. He normally finds out ever year what he is getting but this year I made sure that it would be a surprise. Oh he loves it. I did good this year. It turned out to be a great Christmas!


Christmas Eve!


I thought this picture was so cute of Lella!

This kids put on the nativity Christmas eve and Lella was the sheep. It was very funny when she came crawling out with the mask on. She has always been good with leaving things on her head. It was a very fun night with Tyrell's family in star valley.


A great 4 years!!


We celebrated our anniversary this month on the 19th. Tyrell and I went out together by ourselves for the first time since Lella was born. We had a great time being together just the two of us. This is what Ty made me to go by the side of of our log bed he made. We will have matching lamp shades when we find the right ones. He did a great job!

A new Christmas Dress!


I had a coupon which made this dress only 6 dollars. I love it when I find good deals. Lella looked so dang cute today at church!

Lella's new adventures!



Lella will be 8 months old on Christmas Day. We can't believe how much she is getting around. She has been crawling for about a month and a half now. And now is pulling herself up on everything. We normally eat most of our meals on the couch and now we cant without her crabbing everything off our plates. I guess it is time to start eating around the table like we should of been all a long.


Last weekend Lella and I went down to Roy to visit my Mom and Dad. It was good to go spend the night and let Lella get to know her grandparents a little more. Saturday morning we met up with some of my friends from high school and had a little shower for Angie who is due to have a baby in about a month. It was good to see them and tell Angie things she might experience having a baby. We sure had a good weekend!

Lella's first Christmas Tree!!



The same weekend as Thanksgiving it is a tradition of ours to go to Star valley and cut down a Christmas tree with Tyrell's family. This year was extra special because we have our little girl to share the fun with. She was such a good sport, like always and enjoyed getting all bundled up and going out in the cold.


I found our tree clear up on this hill. Tyrell made me make sure that it was the one before he hiked up there to get it. You can't just settle for a tree that is close to the road because they are never good. If you want a good one you have to be willing to go hike for it. which is the fun of it. Plus I just think how it is giving my legs a good workout!

This is the result of our searching this year! I love having the tree up and everything decorated because of the feeling it brings into our home. I put everything up as soon as I can so that I can enjoy it as long as possible.

Thanksgiving 2011



Thanksgiving was great this year! We all went up to Preston Idaho to celebrate. Travis, my brother in-law was on call with his job so he wasn't able to leave, so we went to them. They reserved the church and had everything there. Later that evening we went over to the High School and played dodge ball in the big wrestling room and hide and go seek in the gym. We had a lot of fun this year, thanks to the Despains. They put in a lot of time and work to make it so we had fun and it paid off! Thanks so much you guys.
This year I wanted to attempt to make pies. The one I'm holding was a pumpkin cheese cake. I made two of those. I would have to say it was mighty yummy! I also made two banana cream and one chocolate. It was a lot of fun but took time. We will see If I do it again next year. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving like we did!
