wanna buy stuff?

Hey, Cassi and I had a Pampered Chef party last night. There was a lot of yummy chocolate and a lot of cool cooking stuff. If anyone would like to get something let me know before Friday night and I can hook you up. Have a happy Thursday!

Pretty Yummies!!

I was so proud of my honey wheat pancakes tonight. Thanks Momma Partridge for the pancake molds. We enjoyed eating a snowman, mitten, and snowflake.

Our Tipsy guy

I know that our 'family' blog is more of a 'Hyrum is the man!' blog, so here's one more video, because he pretty much is everything to us.

Our handsome man is 6 months old!

Thumbs Up!

He's just decided in the past couple of days that he can sit up. It's so cute to watch him sit and wobble from side to side. The occasional fall happens, but he has pretty good balance. He's also decided that he has a strong set of '6th gear' lungs. He'll just scream and yell for no apparent reason. It's pretty darn cute. . . and loud.

Christmas Fun in Albuqerque

It's been tons of fun with the Rushton Family. Hyrum's been able to hang out with his cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and Desert (Scott and Michelle's dog). We've mostly just hung out and watched movies, but we did go bowling this morning. FUN!

Jimkeepers Christmas Exchange

We had so much fun having a gift exchange with everyone. There was caroling, hot chocolate, brownies, hotsauce, and talking until midnight. One of the best parts was when everyone got on their phones and called all of the other guys that are out of state for a massive conference call. So much fun!! It will be a sad as we all begin goin our seperate ways.

'Tis the Season

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I love the feeling I get when I see Christmas lights and hear Christmas music. I love hot chocolate and eggnog. I love the way snow glitters when the sun hits it. I love caroling and exchanging gifts. I love time with family. I love not having to go to work or school. . . I could go on forever. Tonight Brett and I watched the Polar Express after Hyrum fell asleep and drank hot chocolate with vanilla ice cream in it. If only every night could be so wonderful! We're reading a book called "A Christmas Treasury" by Lloyd and Karmel Newell. Both of us highly recommend it to get into the mood of the season. It has short stories, scriptures, and quotes for everyday of the month of December. We hope you all are getting the Christmas 'bug'.
