It's a GIRL!!!!

Introducing, Baby Savannah!!!

Our bishop owns Fetal Fotos in Murray. We went in to find out early what gender the baby is. They had a hard time getting a good shot at first, but once we saw, there was no doubt. It's a GIRL!!! I started bawling and Brady leaned over and gave me a big kiss. We are so excited to have a girl! Baby Savannah is going to be one loved little princess!

Love is in the Air

Valentine's Day was so fun this year! The day before I helped Stockton make Valentines for friends and family. He was so excited to send them off in the mail and deliver the ones that live close.


We started out the day with some yummy pink heart-shaped pancakes.


After breakfast Stockton got his first Valentine from his friend McKinley. It was a princess Valentine, with Jasmine. It was the perfect princess valentine for Stockton, because he LOVES the movie Aladdin. Stockton hugged and kissed his valentine, so excited about it!

Then we dropped some valentines off to some of Stockton's friends.


At lunch time, Brady came home and surprised me with a dozen pink roses! My favorite!

After Stockton's nap, we delivered valentines to Grandma Shawna. Then we hit up the grocery store to get some steak for a special Valentine's Day dinner.

Stockton was so lovey the whole day. At one point he came up and hugged my belly and said, "Happy Valentine's Day, Baby! I love you!" So sweet!

It was such a special day! It was so fun how much Stockton was into it!

Baby Love

In case you haven't heard... we're expecting more love in our family. Due to arrive August 15th!

Holly and Jace for Time and All Eternity

On February 4th Brady's sister, Holly and her husband, Jace, were married in the Bountiful Temple.


Anellina was so excited about the wedding. She insisted that she was getting married too... to Stockton. The day before Holly's wedding Anellina came to our house to play, and here they are getting married!



Holly and Jace coming out of the Temple. It was a sunny day, but the wind chilled you to the bone! So we didn't get many pictures outside the Temple.


At the luncheon they did a little ring ceremony, Anellina was the flower girl and Stockton was the ring bearer. They both did a great job! And they looked stinkin' adorable!


I LOVE this picture of my handsome little guy and the beautiful bride!


The two most handsome men ever!


And the two cutest kids ever!


Uncle J and Baby Carsten.


The couple rode off in Cinderella's carriage. But, we got to sneak a picture in there first!

It was such a wonderful day! The perfect princess wedding! Congratulations Holly and Jace! We love you and are so happy for you!

Christmas

We started the holiday cheer by heading to Grandma and Grandpa Orgill's house on Christmas Eve to open gifts from them.


Stockton and Dallan are good buds! They happen to look very related, too.


Stockton got a Cars "map" to drive his cars on! He and Brock both loved it, as did Grandpa Orgill.


I gave my mom some frame necklaces with pictures of her parents and grandparents. They were very special!


Then we made our way to Grandma and Grandpa Haider's house, where we opened Christmas jammies. I'm so glad we got Stockton's reaction opening his Cars pjs, slippers, and blankie. He was super excited because he had just seen his cousin Brock get the EXACT same pjs and slippers at G-ma Orgill's house and he was super jealous!

Cutie little cousins in their Christmas pjs in front of the Christmas tree. Look at those darling faces! They have so much fun together.

Then off to bed, reading "The Night Before Christmas" book that G-ma Orgill had just given us.

The next morning was a Sunday. So we went to Sacrament meeting before opening presents. Stockton and Anellina looked so cute in their Christmas Sunday clothes.

Yahoo! Santa came!!!

Stockton went straight to his "shaking cars," just what he ordered from Santa!

This was a gift from Anellina. She got very creative with the wrapping paper. Opening gifts was pretty chaotic. We've decided that next year we are just drawing names. There were WAY too many presents! We were all spoiled rotten!

Stockton loved his new Buzz and Woody blankie from Aunt Holly.

It was such a fun Christmas! We loved how much Stockton was into it this year. And I'm glad I survived, because I was so sick pregnant and super tired. But, the Lord blessed me to make it through. I love Christmas!

Happy Birthday Carsten!

Baby Carsten turned 1, so while the Jones were in town for Christmas, we celebrated!

The theme was "balls!"

The kids had a ball playing with balls.

They had a ball with the piñata.

This is a video of when the candy came out of the piñata. Notice where Stockton tries to stash his candy!

Carsten had a ball eating his cake! He's such a cutie and such a good boy! Happy Birthday Carsten!

This video is unrelated to Carsten's Birthday party, even though it took place the same night. It just shows how Stockton and Anellina act when they get together. HOLY ENERGY!

Hey Santa

Stockton was such a lucky boy and got to see Santa at the mall. Stockton was so excited to see him, as you can tell by the enormous grin on his face. His Aunt Holly was working there as Santa's helper, so we even got to cut to the front of the line! Thanks Holly! Stockton told Santa that he wants "Chick, Cars, Mack, and Mr. The King.... and Mater" for Christmas. Mater was one that was added to the list. Uh... slight panic. It's a good thing Stockton got his order into Santa on time!
