The New Year!!!!

I think this year is ending on a good note....

We paid off our car (we are officially debt free!!!)
Dan lost 32 pounds in 4 months
I lost all my baby weight!!!
We applied for a loan and are trying to get into a place before the tax credit is gone!!!!

Hopefully next year will be just as good!!!

Dan is 25!!!!!!!

Dan turned 25 on the 26th!!!









Of course Logan wanted to help blow out the candles!!!!

Christmas

This Christmas we stayed home. Logan and Tyler got a lot of fun toys!!!!

Santa

The other night Costco was having free pictures with Santa and we thought it would be fun to have the kids get their picture with Santa. Obviously Logan did not like it as much as we thought...

Pictures.....

This was our attempt at family pictures....

Temple Square

On Friday we (dan, logan and I) went to Temple Square. Tyler stayed at Grandma's house.

Dan and Bruce hunting

Dan and his dad went hunting this last Saturday. Here are some cool pictures of the hunt.....

The boys' first plane ride!!!!!

Me, the boys and of course Jackie flew down to Utah yesterday for Thanksgiving week. I figured that kids fly free under 2 so it would be a cheap flight for three of us!!!




This was the only good picture we got of us in the plane (Tyler was sleeping in my lap)



This was in the Denver airport during layover






Logan loved looking out the window at everything and he laughed his head off during landing!!!

We cant wait to see Daddy in a couple days!!! We love you!!!!!!!!!

Tylers Baby Blessing

We had Tyler's blessing back at the begining of October. My whole family came up from Utah including my Grandparents. I really appreciated them all coming (especially my Grandma Russell who was freeazing the whole time, it wasnt even in the single digits!!!)

Halloween

For Halloween Logan was a Monkey and Tyler went as a baby! We went to the mall first and then we went to the trunk-or-treat at the church and then last of all we went to Grandma and Grandpa's. Logan had alot of fun

Pumpkin Carving

Logan really got into the whole pumpkin carving this year. Here are some pictures.....

Potty update....

We are on day #4 of potty training and it is going REALLY GOOD!!!!!!! He wakes up from a nap dry now and he only has about 2 accidents a day now! :)

Potty Time!!!!

Over the last couple days Logan has been really interested in using the potty. He knows when he has to go and he goes. We are now on day #2 of no diapers and it is working a whole lot better than I thought. He only had 5 accidents yesterday (not bad!!!!) He loves using his own little potty and putting his 'big boy' undies on. I am way excited to be almost done with Logan's diapers!! HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch!!!!

Logan was playing on the 'kiddie car' at grandma Tew's house and he decided to drive it off the deck....smart move Logan!!!

Swimming

Yesterday we decided it would be fun to take Logan to the swim center. It took him a while to get use to the water but we had a blast!!!

Tyler is 1 month old!!!!

This past month has gone by so fast!!! Tyler already weighs 9 pounds!!!

Here are some updates of things that have been happening....

• I am not watching kids anymore because I got a transcription job!!!! I am sooooooooo excited. I love being able to work at home.
• Dan has lost 16 pounds on "Ashley's low calorie" diet (just in the past month too!!!!)
• We are going to pay off our car next month and be 100% debt free (but hopefully not for long) we are kind of looking for houses!!!
• Dan got his LSA license (insurance license)
• We had our 3 year anniversary
• Our little boy turned 18 months and is FINALLY in nursery!!!!
  

Tyler Alan Tew

He weighed 7 lbs 6 oz but is now down to 7 lbs 1 oz. Everything went way faster and better than my 1st. We will post more pictures soon.....
