Wow, I really am behind. I still haven’t posted about New Years! Well…to get that going, we had a great time with our friends at Ashley and Jason’s. It was a combination New Year’s/Going Away Party, and though we’re really sad for the latter, it was fun to get together, eat yummy food and play some Guitar Hero World Tour. We rang in the new year in style with noise makers, hats, clackers and masks. Unfortunately, we didn’t take our camera, so I have to wait till I get some photos before I can post. Suffice it to say–we had fun, and we’ll miss them a lot! All is not lost, however. We fully expect to see them at least a few times a year when they come back to visit…and there’s email…and blogs…and texting etc. They won’t get lost that easily.

We’ve also had to say goodbye–or see ya later–to our other friends, Chris, Nanette and Elle Harvey. They’ve moved on to greener pastures (Seattle–see, really greener). There was a going away party for them on Sunday and again, we had a lovely time with lots of people and amazing food. Krisha and Cam Deaver make the most amazing desserts. I really hope they get their business going soon, because I want to be able to have them whenever I want. I will also post pics of this event when I have access. We’ll miss you guys! Mark’s losing all his techno/computer guy friends. This isn’t good.

I finally got new tires on my car. They were in bad shape, and after analysis by the tire guy 3 were in need of replacement…the only “good” one, was in fact the one that kept leaking air, so we got 4. That was fun. But, I do feel safer on my new tires, so that’s good.

We’ve also been busy being sick with colds for a week. Poor Brit was having a hard time sleeping at night and kept waking up. But, we’re pretty much on the mend and hope to be back to normal soon.

Below is a mish-mash of pics from Utah till now that don’t really have a category to go into, they’re just kind of fun. Enjoy!

Trying to figure out what that stream is. He really tried to grasp it, but alas, his hands just went right through.

Reading his A-Z word book. He’s going to know lots of stuff!

His super cute Christmas outfit. I love the little vest and black pants (they’re hidden…)

Hugs from G-Grandpa John. He happened to be in town and picked us up from the airport. It was great to see him and visit for a while!

His hat matches his pjs! Thanks Cass.

Brit loves Baby Einstein music videos. If I need to make dinner and he won’t stay out of the kitchen, this is  sure to work every time. He looks like he practically wants to climb into the tv. He does this with his interactive toy as well. He forgets to push the buttons to make it work because  he’s so intent on getting as close as possible.

yes, he just climbed through the chair rungs to get to the other side.

This is his new high chair. It’s supposed to grow with him and become a normal chair one day, so we figured we’d get a lot of out of it. I hope to change the color sometime. He seems to like it and can actually reach the table now. He’s also getting really good with his sippy cup and if it’s pretty full he can drink out of it himself.
