Weekend in Utah

Family at "Hollywood Connection" for my Grandpa Ethington's 80th Birthday Party

My uncle Aaron and I

Papa took the bugs on another last minute merry-go-round ride...how cute : )

Crew was loving this place...he was everywhere!!

He loved playing in the snow with Sam and Erin.

We went on a quick little last minute trip to Utah on business. We had so much fun staying with our good friends Sam and Erin. We miss them so much a wish we lived closer to each other. Our family also had fun spending time with Dallas and Jessica and Mimi and Papa. Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so great. We love you all!

"I Am Your Brother"

For those of you who haven't seen this..you have to take a few minutes to watch this. It is hilarious. This guy auditioned for American Idol last night and this is probably one of the funniest auditions I have ever seen...hope you enjoy it as much as Wyatt and I do...

Happy New Year!!!

We had such a great New Years. We decided to go to California to stay at the Beach House so we could spend some time with my brother and his family. They live up in Sacramento so we aren't able to see them as much as we would like to. We had such a fun trip shopping in Newport, walking around in Huntington Beach and going to Disneyland. We spent all day on New Years at Disneyland. It was such a fun experience. Crew loved it even more this time than last. We were able to see it "snow" there and we danced our way into the new year with our hats and horns they passed out to everyone. What a fun experience we will never forget...Thanks for making our vacation so fun Rick, Kelly, Kendal, Cole, Chris and Carsyn!!! We love you!!

Stocking Treats

We had such a great Christmas this year. We spent this holiday with Wyatt's family. It was fun having Beegh and Randee home for Christmas. We miss them and very rarely get to see them since they now live in Ohio. We were able to talk to Elder Dannels on the phone and it was neat hearing all of his stories. It is so crazy that he is coming home this YEAR! It also was fun having some of our friends here for the holidays and seeing them as well. Crew had a great 1st Christmas and was spoiled by his Nana, Papa, Mimi and Papa and his parents. He has so many new fun toys to play with that he can never decide which one to use. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope everyone had a great New Year!

Busy Life

Sorry I haven't posted any new pictures lately. Wyatt and I have been so busy moving into our new house, shopping for Christmas, baking, and also busy working. My sister's friend sells these beautiful temple pictures and their warehouse is here in Arizona. She had needed some help getting some orders out by Christmas so Wyatt has been making them and I have been helping her with shipping. Wyatt has been spending ever minute of every hour at the shop trying to fill 900 orders before christmas. We are having fun helping but can't seem to find time for anything else right now. Hope everything is going well with everyone and hope you are all having a great Christmas Season..

This weeks favorite toy... a car

We got this cute little car for our baby for Christmas but his daddy just couldn't resist giving it to him now. It has been such a hit! He loves this car and plays with it all day long. Just yesterday he taught himself how to climb in and out of the seat, it was so funny to watch him practice. Our Crew is getting so BIG...I can't believe he is already 10 months old.

Christmas Cards..

Ok everyone... it is finally Christmas time so you all know what that means...Christmas Cards!! If anyone would like one from our family please email me your address. My email address is jennydannels@gmail.com. Thank you so much! Please try to email me as soon as possible too. Happy Holidays!

Happy Turkey Day!!!

The Final Rose???

Is anyone out there wondering what the heck happened tonight with the ending of the Bachelor? I am so mad at Brad right now. I waited this whole season for him to finally pick "the one" and instead he didn't even choose one girl! I have so many questions in my head right now and feel for these two poor girls. I was in love with Brad but now I am really doubting what kind of guy he really is. Maybe there really IS a reason why he is 34 and still single? Let me know your feelings on this whole situation...

Splish...Splash!

Lyza splashing Crew...I love this one!

Matching Pj's...

One of my best friends, Jaime Yetter and her daughter Lyza were in town this week from Ohio. We had so much fun together just letting the kids play. Crew and Lyza had so much fun keeping each other entertained. They loved taking a bath together and then reading books together. We had such a blast while they were here. We miss them already and wish we lived a lot closer so we could play more often. We can't wait until they come again for Christmas. Thanks for the fun time Jaime. I love and miss you already!

We were lucky enough to watch Jane and Jack for Nicole and Jevin while they went to New York with my parents for a little getaway. We had so much fun with them and little Janie kept us oh so entertained. She is the cutest little girl and says the funniest things. We had such a fun time with 3 kids for five days. We were always busy but had so much fun. It was also nice having them around because Crew was so entertained by them which was really nice for a change.

My poor Crew

On Sunday as we were getting up in the morning to go to Church my poor little boy got sick. What an awful week this has been for me and for Crew. I just know how uncomfortable he has been and I feel so bad. I just wish I could trade places with him so he doesn't have to go through this. I had the worst meltdown last night because I felt like everything I was doing for him wasn't helping and he was just so miserable. And to top it all off.. Crew was playing by his exersaucer..not in it but walking around it..and he slammed down on it and hit his mouth and there was blood gushing EVERYWHERE! That is when I just lost it. I felt so bad for him. So everyday I am just praying that he gets completely over this soon so he can get back to his normal happy little self. Today I would say that he is about 75% there...

I just think this picture is hilarious! The other day I probably had to wipe Crew's nose about 20+ times and was trying to think of something I could invent that would be a convenient wiper. It gets so annoying running to the bathroom and grabbing tissue every 5 seconds. Let me know if any of you have some good ideas for this because I know you moms out there know what I am talking about with kids and runny noses. I ended up just putting a soft bib on Crew and using that..it seemed to work! : )
