Dallin's new tricks

We can no longer just keep our toilet lid down. That used to be all we had to do to keep little hands out of the water. Now, our little man has figured how to lift up the lid and hold it while getting his other hand in the water. It didn't take him long to figure it out. I laughed as I had to call Ryan to tell him. Dallin would put his hand in the water and then look at me with this look like "Haha I figured it out." Our little man is so smart!!

Dallin used to love to play with Ryan's lunch box and push it around. One afternoon Ryan and I were talking and looked down. Dallin had gotten the lid completely off and was pulling all of the things out. We had to laugh!!

Happy 50th

Last Saturday the Farrs had a big celebration for Gary and Stacey!! Stacey turned the BIG 50 last Dec and Gary will turn the BIG 50 Feb 15. We celebrated their day in the middle in January. It was fun to chat with lots of family and friends. Good job all those that planned this fun night! Happy Birthday Gary and Stacey!!

We made cupcakes for the party. As you can see, I had to get Ryan. It was too tempting. He was even really nice and didn't smash one in my face. I was waiting for that. Love ya honey!!

Wendi and Matt

Wendi and Matt were sealed in the temple on Sat., Jan. 19. It was a beautiful day. I can't believe little Wendi is married and she found an amazing guy!

Go Cindi go! Cindi was Wendi's wedding planner and Julie was her right hand woman. Amy and I did what was needed to help out wherever. The reception was perfect. Good job ladies!!

Nathan and Andrew were styling in the outfits. As you can tell they didn't want to smile for me! I love my boys!!

Wendi and Matt at the reception. I was the one that was so lucky to pin all of those flowers on the material for the arch. I thought I did a pretty good job!

Of course, our little man found the cake and got a hand in it. He really wanted to play with the whole piece but I wouldn't let him.
We had so many people help us on Wendi's day. Thank you to everyone. Thanks Aunt Linda and Uncle Jerry for all the help in the kitchen! It was a really nice day and the week wasn't too stressful but I wasn't Cindi. Fantastic job Cindi!!

Our Curious Little Man

Our Fun Holidays

Dallin loves his new play table he got from Nana. He likes the music and lights!! Thanks Nana!

Dallin is helping Ryan with our new ice cream maker. It was lots of fun!

Grandma had a little Christmas tree just Dallin's size.

Dallin didn't care much for unwrapping his presents. He would rather play with the paper. Next year will be more fun!

After a fun Christams morning, Dallin fell asleep on the drive home. I tried to keep him awake but he had too much fun at Nana's house.

We had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We had lots of fun all weekend long. For New Years, we had fun playing games and enjoying each others company at my parents home. Ryan didn't win very much at poker. Dallin got a new upper tooth for New Years. No wonder he was clingy to me the weekend before. Now Dallin has 4 upper teeth and 3 lower teeth. They just keep coming. We received many blessings in 2007 and had a wonderful year. We are excited for 2008!!

Our Cute Dallin

Dallin's new favorite thing to do is crawl with something in his hand. He will hold onto anything he can and push it along if it is too big to just hold. One day I had just opened a new bag of wet ones. I turned around and Dallin had them in his hand and I can hear him grunting as he is trying to push them along. They were heavy but were going to go with him. If he loses the item he will go back and pick it up before going on. He is so fun to watch!!! Underneath are some pictures of our cute boy pushing along his things.

With this being Christmas, we want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Pictures of our fun day will come soon! We love you all and love spending time with all of our friends and family!!

Crawling Is More Fun With Something In Your Hand

Temple Lights

We love going to the temple as a family and was even more excited when the christmas lights were turned on. It was fun walking around and Dallin loved all of the colors. Those of you that haven't been yet, you have to see the color they added to the 3 wise men on the front lawn. We love the temple!!!

I Got Tagged

Last time I got tagged I just ignored it and never did it. This time my wonderful sister Cindi tagged me and told me I had to. I took a deep breathe and said okay so here goes....

1. I love cereal!!!! That doesn't even begin to describe it. I can eat any kind of cereal but my favorite is Lucky Charms. I could eat those for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I ate it all the time while I was pregnant. We joked that Dallin would come out with Lucky Charms in his hands because I ate it so much. I never really ate much of them before I got pregnant so I blame Dallin for this one.

2. I have a little OCD in me. Everything has to be in its place before I can relax. I always am picking up the house after Dallin goes down for a nap. Ryan loves this one. Our closet doors slide back and forth. I can't sleep if the doors are open even just a little bit. I now find Ryan closing them all the way before he climbs into bed. He says its better that way. I think I'm rubbing off on him.

3. I never leave dirty dishes in my sink and go to bed. I don't know how people can do that. I think I would have nightmares that my dirty dishes were coming after me. I love a clean kitchen and usually do dishes as I cook to help with less clean up after I am full.

4. I was training for a marathon which is 26 miles. I love running and did it everyday except Sun. I got up to running 42 miles in a week. I even got up at 4:30 in the morning to run before teaching school. But, 5 weeks before my marathon I hurt my knee. I strained it really bad and my dreams of a marathon were gone. I was devasted because I had trained for 5 months. But the next month I met Ryan and he made it all better. I soon forgot all about a marathon.

5. I hate roller coasters. I never will go on one. I always went to the fair with my friends but just watched them on those crazy rides. One trip with Aimee Nicole to Vegas she got me on the New York New York one. Don't ask me how!! As it went up I got scared and mad she got me on it I started to cuss and she just laughed at me. I will never forget that ride. I barely lived.

6. When I was little I was really good at popping my arm out of its socket. Yes that really hurts. For those of you that don't know what that means it's when your arm moves out and stays out of place at the shoulder. I have done that so many times. I remember one time my brother Scott moved my arm just right as we were playing that it popped. I had to wait for my mom to come home. That felt like eternity. I can still sometimes move my arm out of place but it will go back into place. I would do that as I played softball and volleyball. It still hurts.

7. I love reality TV shows. Two summers ago I got Ryan hooked on Big Brother and we watched it again this last summer. We also love So you think you can dance, America's Got Talent, and now we love The Biggest Loser. I hope Bill wins!!! Ryan won't admit it but we also watch America's Next Top Model. We both think that is a silly show but you get hooked and want to see who wins. Sometimes I wish they would just have reality tv shows but then I would miss CSI. I love that show too.

8. I have the BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST husband in the world!!!! I love our little Dallin so very much also!!!


So now you know a little about me. Now it's time for others to share 6 or 7 things about them. I tag Megan H. and Amy Sorenson so they have to start a blog, Brad Payne since he says he looks at blogs, Mark and Mary, Lindsay, and Marjorie. Have fun!!!
