Happy New Year!

This New Year has already been a very eventful one. We returned home from Utah to the task of moving. Within 4 days of getting back into town we were boxed up again and moving! I am sick of living out of suitcases but we are finally getting settled and things are getting back to normal! We just moved a few miles from our old house so it is not like it was a huge deal.

Ezra has now learned how to throw a tantrum and he follows me around the house saying "Ma,ma." It used to be cute but now it is just annoying, something is telling me that he is not going to be as independent as Trevi.

Trevi started preschool again today and so I am feeling like we are back on our normal schedule. I feel like I need to blog about Christmas and reminisce about 2007 but I am too overwhelmed so it was great and here is to 2008!



I would also like to introduce all of you to Shabby Baby! My sister-in-law is very talented and has a fantastic eye for fashion and all things beautiful! She has started her own little line of baby things starting with these fabric flowers. They are a super-cute hair accessory for little girls and I think I just may need one for myself! To check out all her cute things click here. Her store web address is www.shabbybaby.etsy.com. Be sure to check back to see her bows, they are a work of art!

Christmas in Utah

We arrived in UT to be reunited with Trevi last Friday. Our reunion was sweet but now we have the task of bringing her down from the cloud of getting everything she wants! Immediately after getting here we had a baby blessing in SLC for Ryan's brother's new baby, Holden. Then my dad had some work in SLC so we stayed Monday and Tuesday nights. We had a great time shopping and seeing the lights. But it is just so dang cold!!! I still can't get used to it!


Normally I like to see all the lights and cover every inch. But a few years in AZ has made it hard to bear the cold weather! Heaven help me if we go somewhere cold for residency.


Poor Ezra is getting four top teeth at once and it has made him sick. It seems like every time we travel like home one of our kids gets sick. It must be all the traveling and activities!

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!

Sexy Sweater Party

Ezra's first encounter with "Santa" was not really a pleasant one. I don't know why he wasn't just mesmerized by that high-quality Walgreen's Santa suit!



The Hunters put together a fun Christmas Party before we left AZ! We all wore the most beautiful Christmas sweaters we could find. Our pretty sweaters are courtesy of Savers and sorry they are one-of-a-kind so don't wear yourselves out trying to find some just like them! We had some good food and did a video scavenger hunt. Thanks for a fun evening!!

Trevi Update

Trevi is having a great time at Nana and Papa's. Check out Tessa's blog to see some of her fun times. The last three days have been one Christmas Party/event after another. It has been fun but lacking because Trevi isn't here to share it...6 days till we get to see her!!

Bummer

So I just drove 20 minutes to find out that the Triathlon I was supposed to participate in tomorrow is CANCELLED! I am bummed =( I spent the last few days psyching myself into thinking I was ready. I was mentally prepared and now I have no chance to prove myself. I had all my gear ready and everything. Dang it.

Now I have to find another one and prep all over again...

I like Big Boys and I cannot lie...

Okay well maybe just little "big boys" ;) Ezra had his 9-month check up and despite his ever persistent reflux he is thriving and then some. He was 90th for his weight at 22 pounds and 100th for his height! (Here's to those great Jones' genes for height!!)
Ryan took this picture of him trying to get a drink today while not letting go of his crackers in each hand. He said it was hilarious watching him trying to figure it out!

So here is a little update on Trevi! First, we miss her tons and know that she is having so much fun in UT. She spent last week with Nana & Papa. Being pampered by Papa and helping Nana decorate Christmas Trees. She was with Tessa the last few days and she had a traumatic experience in the bathtub last night.

Tessa said that Trevi POOPED IN THE TUB! WHAT!?! This is my borderline OCD, prissy little girl and she pooped in the tub. Needless to say it distressed us and my dad enough that he is ready to bring her back on Friday if it comes to that. Tessa said she was screaming when she saw the floater and had to be moved to a whole different bathtub so that she could bathe again!!!

Today she is with Ryan's sister and Crystal and all of her cousins on the Jones side so I am sure she is having a ton of fun. For those of you that know Trevi I thought you might appreciate that story! I really miss my little girl.

Girls' Getaway

This last week Ezra and I took a drive to Las Vegas to stay at Kelsey's and Katie and Libby came down from Logan. It was so much fun to spend time with these great girls. We are SO SAD that Leah wasn't able to make it at the last minute. (Leah, I was going to photoshop your head in the picture but I am not that good yet!) We just spent LOTS of time talking and catching up on everything. Ryan commented that he didn't need to ask what we did when I came home with almost no voice left.
Our last night there was went out on the strip for dinner at 11:30! It was a flashback to the good ol' college days. I really love these girls and all of my roommates I had in college. I always say if my kids are able to have half as great a college experience as I did I would be so happy for them. I love you guys and all the roomies that are spread all over the world!!!

GO AGGIES!!


Look at the name of the restaurant! TREVI - seeing her name up there really made me miss her more that she didn't get to see it too. We love you Trevi and miss you!!
