Gifts, Visits and Ninja boy

These two toys are presents from My Dad and Teresa. Lochte loves them!

Nate, Leslie Morgan, Emma, Talmage and Peter came to visit us we had so much fun visiting with them, we miss you already!

Nija Lochte

I love this little man, he cracks me up everyday.

Our first Christmas with Just us... Lochte Jameson and I.

Just a few days before Christmas it snowed enough for Lochte and I to go build ourselves a snowman. We had lots of fun building this 5' Frosty.

Christmas Morning Lochte woke up very sad and very sick so we had him take his very first Bubble bath and he loved it, it put him in a good mood to go downstairs and open presents.

Although he loved the experience he didn't quite know what to think when the bubbles would stick to his hands, not his most favorite thing.

Oh but this was his favorite thing. He loves loves to wear my shoes... and it made me laugh that he was wearing my most girly pink high heels with roses on the top. He didn't want to take them off.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Jameson's Christmas present that I am not quite done painting. (The Portland Temple)

This is Lochte's stocking I made him and he is just about to dig in!

Crepes for Christmas breakfast with Strawberries and Mangoes! YUM!

I was sad at first thinking that we didn't have any extended family we could afford to go and see this year but now my worry is that I am never going to want to leave home for Christmas again... it was such a blast and so convenient. That doesn't mean we don't love going to see you family though!

Comet and Cupid

Check out that hair... that is official nap hair and I am not so sure what that look means.

We went to Thanksgiving point and got to meet Comet and Cupid... Santa's Famous Reindeer.

My newest friend Amie Hale, spent the afternoon with us and it was so fun. She took this photo for us.

Lochte put up the christmas lights on our tree... okay well not really he mostly did the taking down of the lights.

Our fun adventures in Page Arizona

We hiked out to these beautiful sites.

Thanks to Ben and Mandi for a wonderful time in Page.

We squeezed our toddler into a baby carrier and Ben and Mandi sported the Roo Wrap with little Blaik.

I just love this photo of Lochte

Oh how I loved being with them, Ben and Mandi are the coolest ever and we love love love them!

Mandi gave Jameson and I this great idea to pose our silhouettes in the sun set.

Jameson's Last Triathlon of the Season!

So we went down to Page, Arizona to visit Ben and Mandi and on top of it all Jameson got to do a late season Triathlon! It poured the whole time, Ben and Mandi are champs though and Ben babysat while Mandi and I ran around taking photos and videos of Jameson racing. That's fabulous babysitter Ben in the Blue, he watched his own 3 month old Blaik all while chasing Lochte in the rain!

Oh and Blaik was quite the champ himself.

Check out this running form... oh yeah baby.

I'm not even totally sure what's going on here.

I'm not sure which of these men are cuter but I think I'll keep them both.

Look at how proud Lochte is of his Champion Daddy.

Ha ha ha... that's all I am going to say.

Good Job Sweety we are so proud of you, you had a great race!

One of the Latest crafts... an earing/necklace holder.

Where did I have them before??? At the bottom of a drawer of course. Oh it has been so nice. It's just wooden frame with window screen behind and some scrapbook paper with some mod-podge. And some ink for the edges to distress it and of course some nifty knobs found at Home Depot.

Halloween... a Monkey, a Tree and a Tree Hugger.

I tried to convince Lochte that Monkey's don't use Binki's but that didn't go over so well.

Every tree needs a tree hugger. Lucky ME!!!

Thanks to Nicole and Kaulana Shum for a wicked fun Costume party!

No no no... it just isn't fall until I've had my caramel apple.

So I didn't have many Halloween decorations and since the budget was tight I made this! It's made of real sticks and real leaves and some twine to be seen as a close line and some clothes pins to hold up the fabric squares that spell out Happy Halloween!
