Can You Tell How Much I Love Winter??

My blogging hiatus has been largely due to the fact that I HATE winter, and therefore have had nothing fun to report =)  LOL not really- TONS has happened this Winter, though I am extremely grateful for warmer temps and the sunny days to come.  Here are a few of the exciting things that have happened since October of last year..

We had 2 Weddings!!

First, Matt and Brit's.  They had their wedding and reception at the Point.  It was beautiful and I couldn't be happier for Matt.  Brittany is so amazing.  She has the best personality! She is one of those people I admire for always being so cheerful.  AND I have no idea how she puts up with Matt =P


The second wedding was Tim and Jess'.  They had a beatuful reception at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, which was SO Jess.  Their ceremony was amazing- my dream beach wedding at the Cuvier Wedding Bowl in La Jolla.  We are very happy for them!! (And excited to be done planning her wedding for her while she works her butt off getting her Masters Degree)

And we have a THIRD wedding planned for June 3rd.  I am so so so happy for Ben and Jobie (Pete's twin brother and super sexy fiance!)  We thought this wedding would never happen...   I love this pic of them at the Oakley Rodeo last 4th of July.



I have been knitting a lot.  My latest creation was a pair of wool (alpaca) gloves Pete could use while fishing.  I'm not sure why I support his annoying habits.. aka fishing... but I guess that's what you do for the people you love, right?? LOL.  Apparently the wool is supposed to keep your hands warm even if they are wet. 

We have snowmobiled into the cabin a few times this Winter.  We were up last weekend and everyone was sad that "it is probably the last weekend we can snowmobile in this year."  Maybe I'm the crazy one- but I can't wait until we are snow-free and sitting out on the deck in the SUN!!

Aww.. What a cute uncle =)


As always, I have to whine about my baby getting huge.  Mason has gone from TINY 5 LBS 13 OZ....
 
To Chubby Baby..
To my little crawler...
To A Little Man!!
He is going to be 2 in a few weeks.  I can't believe how the time has flown by.  He is such a sweetheart and a joy in our family. 

He has recently found a new play place--
He loves to make the light go on and off!
I love the crazy positions he sleeps in!!
Last week, I gave myself an early b-day present from Mason and cut the top off his paci. He has only been allowed to have it at nap and bed time for about 5 months, but he started reaching in his crib and sneaking it all the time.  Monday he threw the biggest tantrum because he wanted it, so i chopped the top off and gave it to him.  Of course he was super mad and chucked it across the room.  I honestly think it was harder for me than him!! Besides the 4 hours of crying that day (and 3 on Tues, 2 on Wed), it was nice to have at church/grocery store to keep him happy and quiet.. and in the daycare at the gym so he doesn't put everything in his mouth.  That being said, we are now binkee free and SO happy about it!! It has cut down the whining a ton!!

Well, that's enough of my marathon post- but I really want to keep up on the blog so hold me to it, guys!! Oh- and if your blog is private, send me an invite because I haven't been on for so long that I can't get into some of your blogs.  Happy Spring!!
