Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Okay so I think the computer is not my friend today. For some reason it won't let me add more pictures so if there are two posts that's why. Anyway, to kinda update what's happened the last month..... Charlotte's gotten so much bigger! She sits up on her own and is just a character. She's getting her first tooth. It's a sharp little bugger on the bottom. She's been a little grumpy with that. This week she started saying "ba ba ba ba ba" a lot. That's her new thing and she loves when I say it back. She still loves to scream whether it's a happy yelling scream or if she's crying and screaming. She actually cried this morning when Scott left for work. She happened to wake me up at 4 and nursed until 4:30 then laid in bed with me and Scott and he left shortly before 5 and she didn't like it when he left. It was cute.

So we had a great Christmas. Money was pretty tight for us until I got the greatest phone call from my mom telling me that I got a $1000 check in the mail from my cousin. I guess when my mom's Uncle Gene died he wanted his sister's grandkids to have some money so that was a huge blessing. I paid off my Dr. bill... woohoo!.....and paid a little more towards some other ones then we were able to get more gifts for family than we planned for Christmas so that was fun. It was nice to be able to get Charlotte something more than a $5 toy at wal-mart. So Christmas was great. We got to spend time with my family on Christmas day. My brother was able to bring the kids up to my parents for the weekend then on Saturday we had a party with Scott's cousins at his Grandma Spence's house then we got to hang out with just his family at his parents. It was just nice to be able to spend time with family those two days. That's probably my favorite part of holidays is just to be with family. Oh and I was super duper excited about my new cookware my parents bought me. When Scott and I got married we didn't get a lot of kitchen stuff so we took my parents old pots and pans that were probably close to 10 yrs old. They did their job the 3 1/2 yrs we've been married but they were hard to clean cuz almost everything would stick to them. So my mom bought me this super nice set. I love it! Nothing sticks to it and it's so easy to wash!

Well I don't think there was much else that has gone on this past month. Oh we did take Charlotte out to Red Lobster and she did great for her first restaurant dining experience with us. We also went to see the lights at Temple Square and it was freezing. Hopefully I can post those pictures up. Also, my parents are moving! Yay! They are gonna rent this amazing house in Erda. It's 5 acres with horse property and like right down the street from Chloe's high school. It is a gorgeous home and so amazing! I love it! It's rustic and all westerny like. As soon as I can get in to take pics I will. I love it! They also can buy it in a couple yrs from the owner that lives next door so that's great news. So exciting! So other than that I think that's it. So here's a few pics of Charlotte and I'll try to do another post... hopefully it works. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!


Here's Charlotte in the tub. We took a few tub pics when I got a new memory card for the camera. This picture reminds me a little of some of mine from when I was little.

She likes to eat the bubbles

I didn't think she'd like the bubbles this much but it's fun to put 'em on her and watch her try to get them off. She's a blast.

I love this face. She's my sweetie.

This was her Christmas morning at our house before we went to my parents. She had just opened her toys... well more like we opened them for her. She was too busy playing with the paper.
