Jacer's haircut

Jace was long overdue for a haircut. He hates clippers so that is why we put it off for so long. With some help from my cousin we managed to give him a cute little boy haircut. I can't believe how old it makes him look. He is growing up way too fast! Lately he has become quite the talker. We have been enjoying all the silly things that he says. Sometimes it even sounds like he is cussing under his breath. He gets that from his dad! :)

Winter Wonderland!

Every morning I love to look at the trees in our yard and all down the street. They are so pretty with every branch covered in frost. The other morning Jace and I braved the cold to take some pictures.

Jaceroni!

Here are some great pictures of Jace at his best. He loves Jello and pickles right now. If you open the fridge he will grab one of the two before you can catch him.

He has unrolled the toilet paper many times. It has become one of his favorite little tricks. So now we have to shut all the doors to keep him out of trouble.

I am not a very good blogger!

I am sure you can all tell that I am not very good at the blogging thing. I just have too many other things to do. So here is a quick recap of December. Please see Shelli's blog for the Webb Christmas party and Garret's b-day pictures. Whenever she is around I don't take very many pictures because the pictures she takes always turn out much better.

We had a great time with Garret's family in SLC. It was so much fun to be with them for the holidays. Jay and Josie give us the fun weekend in SLC for Christmas. It is a fun tradition that we look forward to every year. They also spoiled us with a gorgeous temple picture. Thanks for everything. We love you!

Garret turned the big "26" on December 21. We celebrated with two big parties. One on Saturday with his family and one on sunday with my family. It is also my brother Ty's birthday on December 22nd. So we had a joint party for them. It was fun to finally have a house big enough for everyone to come over.

On Christmas day we slept in until 8:30. It was so nice to get some much needed rest. Garret was so lucky this year and was able to have Christmas off. I was pretty excited and so was he. When Jace woke up we took him downstairs to see his presents from Santa.

Santa had brought him some of the cars from the movie "Cars". They were just sitting among his presents. He liked them so much that we had a hard time convincing him to open his other presents. I ended up unwrapping more than half of his gifts.

After opening our presents we headed over to my parents for breakfast and of course more presents. My dad made each 0f his kids a really cute shelf. They also gave us two big totes of food storage, plastic bags, etc. We were pretty excited to get some much needed supplies. It makes our food storage look very nice.

Jace received so many fun presents from his grandparents this year. He got a cute bear that he can sit on, church outfit, and toys from Grandpa Jay and Grandma Josie. And from my parents he got a wagon, a rocking chair, P.J.'s and toys. My mom even made him a tool belt to go with his new tools. Thanks heavens they are only plastic or we would have many holes in all our walls.

68 Years

My grandparents just celebrated 68 years. It was so cute to see my grandpa hold my grandma's hand and say, "I wouldn't leave here without her." (He has dementia really bad and forgets sometimes that it is him that can't go home.) It has been hard on both of them to have to stay at Logan Nursing and Rehab and even harder for us to see how frustrated they get. Hopefully they will be able to go home sometime soon.

Grandpa and Jace on the tractor

One of Jace's favorite things to do is to be with his grandpa. He especially loves to get dirty and play with tractors (or anything with four wheels). I love how my dad will take him on little outings. Last saturday they went to Logan for almost four hours shopping. They hit Petersen's feed store, IFA, Smithfield Implement and Wendy's. Dad dressed him up in cowboy boots and a hat at the Imp and said that Jace strutted around the store. He said it was hilarious. The best part was when he came home. I don't think he stopped smiling all night.

Lindsay, can you guess who she was dressed up as?

Love for Shoes!

Jace has inherited my love for shoes. Everytime I turn around he has someone's shoes on. It is pretty funny watching him stumble around in shoes that are four times his size. He is actually getting quite good at walking in them.

Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone has a great Halloween. Here is Jace in his cute little puppy costume. I can't believe how much he has changed since last year. He is getting so big. I am excited to take him to the trunk or treat. I think that he is really going to like it.

A Precious New Nephew

On Thursday, October 2nd Taitum and Jared were blessed with a new little one. Cole Jared Abrams weighed in at five pounds eight ounces and 19 inches long. He is so tiny and precious. He had a hard time breathing on his own so they put him in the NICU on oxygen. He is doing great and they were both able to come home today. I can't wait to snuggle the little guy.

Plane Rides

On the 27th of September Dr. Wood took us on plane rides for our work party. It was so fun. Jace even braved the ride with me. He loved it except that he had a hard time breathing with the wind blowing in his face. Dr. Wood even let us make gravel bombs to throw at a target on one of the run ways. Garret took some of Janessa's bombs that she hadn't used and won me a day of paid vacation. Sweet!

Ready for take off.

Sunday Family Fun

We had a great sunday with Garret's parents, Jami, Jenna, Nate and Preslie. They came to see their parents for Grandparents day. The first stop was at Grandma Webb's. After that we went to see Grandma and Grandpa Jorgy. They were all glad to have visitors. Jace enjoyed playing on the slide and driving the tractor. I was excited to have his family here for a visit.
