Thanksgiving!

Man i love the holidays!! I love all the family time, the wonderful music, the shopping, the long lines, the yummy food and all the love that is shown all around! This is by far my favorite time of year! I get so giddy and excited for this time of year!! Nothing is better than waking up to a handsome husband, smiley baby and looking outside to a blanket of snow!!! Man i feel like i could just fly! Thanksgiving is such a good time to look back and think of everything i am grateful for! This year we got to go to Reno for Thanksgiving! This year of all years i was super excited! My parents had not seen Blake since he was 1 month old! I have to say being away from my family when i have a baby is really really hard! But they just ate him right up! Every morning my dad came into our bedroom the second he heard Blake was awake and said, " Hey is Blake awake yet?" Or if Blake was awake my dad came in with big smiles and all sorts of ready to play with him! I loved it!!! My mom made sure to give him lots of cuddles every night! She always wanted to be near him to! She even changed every diaper she could! WAHOO!!! That was a nice break! Blake was so good all week! He seriously barley even cried! He was on his best behavior! Blake loves loves loves his SheShe and Crampa! There was even a time when he didnt even want me because he was with his Crampa!!! I was nervous that he would be a little hesitant because he doesnt know them but he just fell in love!!

I wanted to make sure that i wrote down some of the things i am grateful for because i feel like i have been so blessed this past year!!!

* I am so thankful for an amazing husband that has really shown me what it is like to be loved
* I have the cutest most adorable little baby that has brought the sweetest spirit into my home
* I am so thankful for my awesome family who cares and supports me and my family
* I am truly blessed to have the gospel in my life as i strive to return to my Heavenly Father
* I have great in laws who we love to spend time with
* I am so thankful for every trial i have been through this year because i know how important they were.
* And lastly i am so thankful for my Heavenly Father for blessing me in time of need, answering my prayers, opening my eyes to new things and ideas, the greatest family, my wonderful sisters and awesome brother who i miss like crazy, and for giving me the means to live my life to the fullest!!!

Happy Holidays everyone!!
I love this picture! Sweet Sweet boy! He is getting such a fun personality!
He can now sit all by himself in the bath! We love it!
I love my husband! He is the light of my life!
Blake loves Macy to! He gives her the biggest smiles ever and never wants to take his eyes off her!
Awwww this picture really touches me! I love that my dad is so infatuated with Blake And man can he get Blake to laugh!

AWWWW Blake loves his SheShe! That is seriously the sweetest picture!Blake and Grandma Jenny! I am so glad we were able to spend some time with her
Blake and Grandmere meeting for the second time! I enjoyed really getting to know her this trip! We talked for a couple hours one night!

Just Too Fast!

Blake is getting so big just too fast! I get so excited when he starts to do new things but at the same time it makes me sad because he is becoming such a big boy! Blake is now officially a sitter! He rarely falls over! We are so excited for him! He feels like such a big boy to its so cute! As far as rolling over goes he knows how to and he will every once in a while but he just doesnt like to! What a bum! He also thinks that everything is funny! He thinks it is funny when you look at him, when you smile at him and everything! I love it because he is one of those babies that smiles at everyone. But its funny because he will stare at someone and not take his eyes off of him until they smile at him and then he gives a big smile and turns away. I got a new calling to be a Beehive advisor at church and the girls just eat him up!

I do have a really funny story for you! The other day i was watching The Proposal and Blake was sitting on my lap. Well it got to the part where Sandra Bullock is dancing in the woods with his grandma and all of the sudden Blake starts to laugh! HAHAHA! So i look down to see what he is laughing at and sure enough he was laughing at her dancing! HAHAHA! Then she starts dancing again and he starts to laugh again! O man i love that little boy! I thought that was so cute!

Well here are some random cute pictures!

This is at a point when he really found his tongue and it was always out!!
I seriously think he looks so stinkin cute sitting in a grocery basket! He held on the whole time! HAHA!
This is his new toy! And let me tell you he love love loves it! If you try to take him out he starts to cry! He loves it!
Such a handsome little man!
Yep sitting all by himself!!! This is how the playmat is used now!He had just woken up in this picture but i think he looks so sweet!!!!

Hunting????!!!!!!

Yep thats what i said!!!! HUNTING!!!!! I am still in shock that i married someone who hunts! I am so not a fan of hunting but i support Chance in his desire to! We have come to an agreement that Chance can hunt as much as he wants but can only shoot what he will eat! So this weekend was the Pheasant hunt and Chance got super excited! He spent the whole day down at his parents hunting. He ended up shooting 2 pheasant! We are so proud of him and i have to say he was pretty proud of himself! He thinks that he is going to get me to eat it but i cant see eating something that i just saw almost alive! YIKES!!!! ITs different to go buy chicken or whatever from the store and eating it but when you see the animal all in one piece before its a different story for me! Maybe i will try it and maybe i wont but here are some pictures of Chance and his prizes!!!

Good job honey! That is such a gross picture but i guess i need to get used to it!And there they are, the poor pheasant that didnt even know it was coming! They are really pretty birds though!

Sitting Boy!

Blake has gotten so good at sitting! If i stick toys in front of him he will sit without falling for like 2-3 minutes! I love it! Towards the end though he starts to fuss because I think his stomach starts to hurt from bending! He has also gotten really into grabbing everything! I love love love this stage! He grabs anything in his sight! I love how interactive he is getting. He is so animated and fun! He can even raise one eyebrow! He also thinks that pretty much everything is funny! If I just look at him he smiles! Anyway here are some random pictures from the past week!

I love this outfit! But it makes him look so old! My sweet boy is getting so big!
My mom pointed out that he looks like he is posing in this picture! I love it!
Sitting man! He feels like such a big boy when he sits by himself! He just gives me a look like hey mom look what i am doing all by myself!!! And can we talk about his cute wrists and how since he has so many rolls it looks like he has a rubber band around his wrists! HAHA I love it!
I love this smile of his! I dont know where he gets the dimples!When i lay Blake on his play mat his legs and arms go so crazy that he always gets his foot stuck in this toy!
