Snowmobiling

The day after Christmas the entire Robert's family packed the family up and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Roberts cabin on snowmobiles. Abbi and I chose to sit this one out since she had been sick. I loved this picture of Warner and his grandpa. I picture Ryan doing this with our grand kids someday. The Roberts grew up snowmobiling and have so many fond memories of it. As always they all had a good time. Ryan said it was so cold that when he would take his gloves off to defrost his helmet his gloves were completely frozen when he went to put them back on. Guess I'm glad that Abbi and I didn't go.

Warner's Birthday party

Warner was so excited about his Birthday cake he even stepped in it. He wanted a Nemo cake and this is what I came up with, a cake from Costco. He was proud of it and called it his Nemo cake.

Awaiting for his surprise from mom and dad.

Tada....it's the spiderman bike he's been riding around Wal Mart for the last three months. If you notice he didn't notice the bike sitting in front of his face at first.

Here's Warner with his new 3+ size helmet. For most three year old this helmet would work, but for Warner it didn't quite do the job. His head has always been off the charts, but we figured he had grown into it by now. We had to go back and by a helmet for a 8 year old.

Christmas Joy

In a nut shell Christmas was great as always. This is the first year since my mom passed away that my sisters and their families all spent Christmas Eve and morning at my parents house. I'm not sure why we haven't been doing it, but I'm glad we did it this year. It makes me remember all my wonderful years as a child. We all got what we wanted for Christmas and then some. Most importantly we were able to reflect on the birth of our Savior during the season. What a wonderful time of year it is. Here are pictures of the new pj's, Christmas morning, Landon's letter to Santa asking for forgiveness because we didn't have cookies only graham crackers, and a bunch of Wii playing. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Happy Birthday Warner Bug!

It's hard for me to believe that three years have flown by. Today is Warner's third birthday. I remember back to the day I was pregnant with him, and the anticipation for his arrival. I didn't care how close it was to Christmas I was ready for this baby to come. We went to the hospital on the 27th to get started. I was beginning to have contractions without getting started. I finally was able to get my epidural around 2 or 3 in the morning. About a hour later the Dr. came in to let me know that this baby was in danger and at that point they needed to get him out. His heart rate would go down with the contractions and not come back up. Once we agreed to the c-section the room turned into total madness. Dr.'s and nurses running around. I was completely fine until they all started running and then I got worried. Of course this wasn't the way I had planned child birth. Needless to say they got him out safe and sound. The cord had been wrapped around his neck. We are so grateful for Warner and ALL his ENERGY! He is a blessing to our home and we love you so much!!!

Forth and final post of the day

A couple of weeks ago Peggy (Ryan's mom) received this bouquet of it's a boy and it's a girl balloons at the family history center. There was a card with it that said Congratulations your going to be a grandma again????? Who could it be? She starts calling all of us. First it was Lynzie who denies it. Then she calls me and what is she thinking, Abbi is only 8 months old? So then she goes on to call Denise who can't have kids anymore and everyone is denying it. I was starting to feel sick for her that she might be thinking it was Ty who isn't married so I called to confess that is was me. Yes it is me who is pregnant. I can't believe it myself. This was not our plan to have baby number three so soon, but we couldn't be more excited. How can you be mad right? Baby three should be here some time the end of July which means baby and Abbi will be 16 months apart. YIKES!!! and YEAH!!!

Santa brings a present

Every Christmas my sister in law Denice has a kids Christmas party where Santa comes and brings the kids a present. Here is Abbi's conversation with Santa.

Santa "What would you like for Christmas"?
Abbi " To get off your lap!!"

Warner's conversation with Santa

Santa "What would you like for Christmas?"
Warner "My two front teeth to wish you Merry Christmas" (This is the song he sings at singing....I'm not sure he understands if he tells Santa that he wants a bike or something he might actually get it). Santa might get off easy this year!

Temple Square

Monday the 8th....My niece Emree had a concert at Temple Square so I loaded up the mini van, and headed to the big city with the kids. Warner hadn't been feeling well and was wanting me to carry him a lot, but once he found the snow he was a new person. Here we are riding Trax. Warner thought it was so much fun riding on a train.


Mr. independent walking to the concert we were late but he was still determined to walk and carry the umbrella.



Abbi and Griffen enduring the cold beautiful lights. Griffen wasn't always this content to just sit in the stroller. Abbi on the other hand looked just like this the entire time, even when she was awake. I'm not sure if she couldn't move from all the clothes on or what. What a great trip it was. I'm glad my sister guilted me into coming. It was a trip well worth it :) We can't wait to do it all over again this weekend with the Roberts family.

Warner makes the paper!
