Miscellaneous Monday...

Another week and a NEW month too!!

I am home for a few days while my parents are in Vegas... excited they could get a way. It's fun to hang out with my brother and spend time with my fam again.

I am the WORST at NOT drinking enough water... I thought this was clever!

Crafty fun and Sunny Sun...

Yesterday I finally sent off a changing pad order that I've been working on

for a while. It's for a John Deere lover and I hope she loves it as much as I do.

Congrats Jenny!! Hope that baby arrives safely in a couple weeks!!!

After we went to the post office Tydon was excited about the sunshine and wanted to play outside. When I talked to my mom in Idaho and she said she was sitting in her car in the middle of a snow storm!! So I knew I had to take advantage... I couldn't get Tydon to come inside to eat so I took lunch to him.
It was really bright!
Between bites he was running back and forth.
Ready, Set, Go...
Pretty sure we have another football player in the fam.
After lunch we went for a walk to soak up as much sun as we could!
February usually doesn't provide us with such warm weather...
maybe being in Utah isn't so bad :)

Oh wait! I guess it's back to reality.
This is what we woke up to this morning.
I guess when it's warm outside you HAVE to take advantage while you can!!

Fun with the Wood Fam

Last weekend was a BLAST!

Gordon's sister Teri and her family came Thursday night to stay for the weekend. That meant 6 extra people staying at our house. Quite the PARTY!!

The reception was beautiful...
Lots of Dancin...

Saturday...
Tydon loved being swung around in the sheets by Braxton and Teri
The weather was AMAZING for a February day so the kids played outside on the playground by our house.
The girls went shopping... the boys....

Gordon went with his nephews Braxton and Tanner to a foam pit to PLAY!!

These boys had a BLAST!! Glad none of them were seriously injured.

I love Gordon's family so much! They are all so much fun to be around and I'm so grateful to be a part of such a close family. Hope to see them all again real soon!

Some Valentine Fun...

We have made some great friends here in Utah!!

Tydon was invited to his first Valentine Party last week...

The kids decorated their bags...
Ate yummy treats...
and passed out Valentines...
Thanks Melinda for the fun party!!!

Valentine's Day came early this year!!
Really... it was just timing, but I'll claim it as an exciting gift this year!!

After moving to Utah we knew it was time to get a new car. Gordon was going to be taking our Civic to work everyday and that meant I was stuck with his pick up.

Gordon loved his baby. He had a new stereo in it and XM radio... He LOVES music!!
I cried last week as we took his pick-up into the dealership to be traded on our new car. I felt bad that Gordon couldn't keep his truck. I'm sure it was hard for Gordon to say goodbye to his pick up. Every man deserves a truck!!
But Gordon doesn't need it anymore for construction so it makes sense to get a bigger car for the fam. I'm super excited about the upgrade, but will miss the Duramax.
Thanks Gord!!

Last weekend we got to go back home to IDAHO to visit family.

Saturday we celebrated the baptism of my cousin Ashtyn Hope.
Gordon confirmed her after her baptism. It was a special day for her and her family.
Congrats Ashtyn. We are so excited for you and happy we could be there to celebrate this special day with you. We love you!

I'm so happy we got to see my family this weekend.
I'm grateful for all of my family and their love for me and my little family.
Can't wait to see you again in a couple weeks!!
