Catching up!

Jessie got to enjoy Christmas Eve dinner too!

She was very happy about it!!

We could only take 2 of our own pictures, and they both turned out pretty good. The packages started at $20, which I though was ridiculous...so we made due with the 2 pictures we were aloud to take...phil was a good boy and only took the 2, but if it were me, I would have taken the flash off and took as many as I could! :) Probably not...but it just peeves me when these things are so darn expensive.

First time she tried eggs. I was proud of her...she at about half...at least I thought. When I got her out of her chair I noticed all that she had dropped. Mostly she just played with the eggs. Then the next day when I gave her an egg, she was gagging on it. It was pretty funny. She has not had any since. I should probably try them again soon.

Jessie just loved all the bows that grandma Heileson used on her presents!

Jessie loves playing in the dvd's. It keeps her quiet and busy for awhile, so I do not mind.

I was sitting on the couch and she came to visit me. What a sweetheart, I just had to take a picture of this happy little girl.

She liked to play with the gifts, but did not really know what they were for and what to do with them.

BUSTED!

Jessie loves hanging out with daddy! If that were me, she would be crawling all over me, grabbing my face, pulling my hair, or looking for a nursey!

This was our Thanksgiving spread! It was really nice to have Phils parents and brother Zach. I just LOVE cooking for company!

Back in the day...well not really

I was looking though some older photos and found some from right after our trip around the world when we visited Pennsylvania. They made me a bit nostalgic, but I thought some might enjoy these pictures!

This is at "the waterfall". There is a creek not too far from our house in PA....actually it is right up against our backyard. When you follow it a ways, you come to this waterfall and later to a tunnel. We came down here frequently when we were younger so it was a must when we went back. In the picture are brother in law Kevin and Phil who are standing up, and sitting are Elizabeth and Katie.

This is me and my handsome little nephew Jadyn...remember this was almost 5 years ago. My hair was a lot lighter back then.

Katie and myself after a run...I am always bright red for hours after I work out.

My mountain man husband and my mom...we picked a ton of strawberries (the best in the world) and made a ton of jam! YUM!! Phil is quite a bit hairier and a little thinner here. The pictures of him on our trip and right after make me laugh....i can see why a boy in india asked him if he was Jesus (yes true story)...the physical resemblance of course...not comparing Phil to the Savior...Phil is a good man, but still...ok, moving on..

I love cuddling with my nieces and nephews, and now I have my very own to cuddle with...and I do smother her with hugs and kisses often. I just cant help myself!

I am sooo happy to have internet again

I have missed the internet the last couple of weeks. Our internet has been down and because we are renting and the internet is not in our name...it was a bit of an ordeal to get it back up and running. It made me realize just how much I rely on the internet everyday. What did I ever do without it!?! :) Anyway here are a few pictures of Jessie and my wonderful family.

Phil put that hot pad on her head and she forgot that it was there...she was eating carrots...hence the orange on her chin and nose.

Phil was on the floor trimming the tree, but Jessie thought he was there for her. She LOVES her daddy and anytime he is in the room she watches his every move!
