it is like doing things with your eyes closed

Ok our internet is not working good and I am not real patient with computers anyway. I can not see what pictures I am typing next to. Oh well. This past weekend we went to Utah to go snowboarding. I was planning on staying until the last minute. I could not stand the idea of being left home. So Brent, my dad and I rotated in the lodge babysitting. It was so worth it. We went to Snowbird, Brighton, and The Canyons. I had never been to The Canyons before. Abrielle got to ride up the gondola to the lodge. It was fun. You should have seen here eyes when we went over those rolling things. One picture is of Abrielle and my dad on the gondola. I love that picture. Abrielle has this new thing with her tongue. She has been doing it for a couple of weeks. She has her tongue out like this all the time. Silly girl. And last, Brent loves putting his hat on Abrielle. Brent was on baby duty at the hotel and this is what I walked in on. Hope you all are doing good.

A couple pics mom thinks are cute

Mom has to trick me to spend time on my belly. She got me here.














Trying on my sunglasses before going sleding. Mom forgot her camera . Hopefully mom will get copies of the pictures that were taken of me going down the hill.















I have been driving mom crazy wanting to always be sitting up. I throw little tantrums when I want to sit up and mom can not hold me up. Grandma felt sorry for me and she went and got me my new favoite thing. I love my dog, uncle Carlos got it for me. I laugh when it makes all the different noises.



















I told you this is my new favorite thing. Mom was laughing at me though. When the animals on my mobil go by I try to put them in my mouth. It is such a fun game, and I laugh at my mom when she laughs.














I do not understand why mom calls me rollie-pollie.

lots of fun

Ella having so much fun playing with my dogs!!

A lot has been going on since the last post. Abrielle is growing fast and to prove I am not just crazy thinking she is growing really fast and big at her 4 month appointment she charted on the growth chart in the 90th percentile. That is right, the problem is when she is 16 she will probably be in the 5th percentile. I just laugh. I guess I needed a faster crash couse in getting my arms stronger. This last week we had a lot of fun. Brent's dad came into town, and we had a blast watching Abrielle bust out in this long laugh. A couple of my friends also came into town, Angel and her family and Kim. We had a great time going down the slopes and watching Madison go "super duper fast."

Madison taking charge playing with Abrielle, she is so loving.

I love my view

This is the view out of my house. The one with the dogs in it is looking out off the front porch. The others are out the back yard. The one of the big tree and the one of the oak tree is what I see out my bedroom window. It is awesome!

Aunt Ramai and Uncle Carlos came to visit. Abrielle got to meet Navi. As you can see, she really enjoyed looking at her. She also loves to hear the monkeys on her mobil. You should see the face she makes, it is so funny. She stops kicking, makes this funny face then gets really excited.

What did Santa Bring?

What did Santa bring me this year? I sure think she is cute. She actually spent most of the day in the stocking, she seemed to really like it, and it kept her warm. It the craziness of the move I could not find her Christmas dress we got her. So that made me a little upset. Oh well. We had a great day and as you can see Abrielle slept through most of it.

Laugh

Doesn't this picture just make you laugh. Grandma Moro dug out all the baby stuff she saved. This little outfit Abrielle has on was something I used to wear. I think she looks like a little elf in it. It makes me laugh.

These are pictures from our Christmas tree hunting adventure. It was awesome. The snow was so deep. It was hard choosing a tree because there was so much snow on the trees. We got ourselves a good one!

Slacker!!

OK, I am sorry I am such a slacker. I look at all your blogs and you guys are all so up to date with things. I have had a hard time keeping my head above water it seems. We finally moved into our house, the Thursday before Christmas. It was awesome. The first night in, it had snowed a couple of inches that day so there was snow on the trees. That night going to bed there was a full moon, or at least almost a full moon. It was so beautiful looking out our big bedroom window at the snow covered trees lit up by the moon. It was breathtaking. My goal was met. To be in my house by Christmas and the first piece of furniture would be my Christmas tree. I will post a couple pictures of the house and tree as soon as I get my act together. It seems that every day has been filled with so much work moving into the house. Before I know it, it is time for dinner and another day gone. I do not make it much past dinner time, I am ready for bed shortly after but try to keep myself awake until Abrielle's last feeding of the night. We do not have Internet at our house yet, so I have to remember to bring my camera to my parents house so I can put some pictures on. Hope all is going well, Happy New Year and hope you had a great HOLIDAY season. love ya all.

What is wrong with this picture?

Caneel was so cute when she laid down in Abrielle's bed. Caneel had been walking all over the house trying to find a place to lay down. Later, I found out her bed had been put up where she could not lay on it. She smelled Abrieel's bed, then gently stepped into the basket. She walked in circles and then gently laid down. I really did not think she would lay down. I thought it was cute. Anyway, just a little funny moment for me.
