What a Christmas!

This Christmas is definitely going to be a memorable one. We waited to put the Christmas presents under the tree until Christmas Eve. Because Shea is a sneak. Let me first start out by saying that Wayne and I bought her a slide for Christmas. We were looking forward to seeing her on Christmas morning. She is absolutely in love with slides. I also want to mention that when Shea wakes up in the morning the first thing she does is wake up mom and dad. Well, around 7:30 am, Shea jumps into our bed. Wayne and I both look at her and say CRAP. Her face is covered with make-up. So of course, I jump up to see what kind of damage was done to my make-up. I walk out of our bedroom and notice that all the lights are on. I turned the corner and to my amazement, the floor is covered with wrapping paper. Shea had opened all of the presents! She runs to into the room yelling "SLIDE SLIDE, WATCH!" It was obvious that she had been awake for quite a while. She definitely is my child. We sure did have a great Christmas being together, sledding, and even talking to my brother who is on his mission in Florida!

I also want to say CONGRATULATION to the Maddock family, on Kaidence's new heart. That is such a great gift for Christmas. She is the cutest little girl ever. If you want to go to her blog it is at http://www.4mykaidence.blogspot.com/!

POTTY Times

Wow, I can't believe how fast Shea is growing. She is starting to use the POTTY. The other day she went twice. I been having her wear panties for about an hour a day, and am constantly asking her if she needs to go. I didn't want to push potty training very soon, but she is so independent. She wanted to start using it all by herself. She isn't even 2 yet, so I am going to take my time with it. We finally got our Tahoe back from the shop. At first they thought it was a transmission problem, then an engine problem. Well, it turned out to be an exhaust problem. So it is all fixed. Wayne was pretty excited to get his baby back! (I forgot my digital camera in Utah, so as soon as I get it back I will post some pictures.)

Anniversary

We have been married for 3 years! It has gone by so fast. We had a wonderful anniversary, and as ususal it snowed. With out fail, every year on our anniversary it snows a big storm. We probably got a good foot. Anyway, Wayne sent me some flowers that were the same colors from our wedding. He is so thoughtful. He even had a cheesey note to go with it. Ha Ha. That night Wayne took me to dinner at the Four Season in Jackson Hole. (Which is where he works.) When we got there a couple people came up and wished us a happy anniversary. Then they brought a card over to us from the Front Desk. (Which is where I use to work.) Then they brought us some soup compliements of the Executive Chef. It was so good. The Pastry Chef also sent us out a couple of items. We got a nice sherbet and a plate full of chocolate dipped strawberries. She even wrote on the plate "Happy Anniversary" with white chocolate. It was such a wonderful meal. They sat us right by the fireplace and the big windows. So we were able to watch the snow falling while eating. It was such a nice experience. They sure did give us the Four Seasons treatment that they are known for.

Christmas is Coming!

I hope everyone had a wonderfull Thanksgiving. I sure did! My mom and dad, sister Brooke, brother Chad, and my dog Teby all come up from Utah! Shea loved having everyone at our house. I was just glad that the turkey turned out okay! Thanks MOM! The day after Thanksgiving we all climbed into my dads truck and we went Christmas Tree hunting! It was cold and exciting. Everyone had a blast even the Dog! Last Christmas Shea was almost 1 and she was into everything. This Christmas it is worse, so Wayne and I decided to tie bows on the tree and hang Ginger Bread Men. This way we won't have to worry about things breaking. I think it turned out alright.

A New Bed

Well, Shea has reached a milestone in her life. She is officially sleeping in a big girl bed. The past week she has been climbing out of her crib and playing around in her room. I watched her get out and let me tell you, it was pretty impressive. My daughter is fearless, so I thought I better do something fast. So we made her bed into a day bed. The 1st night she cried and cried and then feel asleep in the middle of her room. The 2nd night she feel asleep right in front of the door, but with less crying. Then the 4th night, Wayne laid in her bed and she did not like that one bit. So for the past 2 nights she has been falling asleep in her bed. It is the cutest thing ever. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I was surprised.

My Sisters Wedding

My sister Mandie got married in July of this year. She just sent me some pictures of Shea from her wedding. A lot of people probably thought that she was acting like a brat the entire time, but I thought she did really good considering the circumstances. It felt like it was over 100 degrees and there were things planned for the entire day so she didn't get a nap. Here are some pictures from some of her "happy" moments. (P.S. Sorry Mandie if she ruined some of your pictures! Ha Ha)

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone! We had a wonderful Halloween at grandma and grandpa's house. Wayne also had a great time. I love him so much, he is a just like a little kid. He makes every holiday such a good one. Shea sure does love him! Grandma Zollinger and Aunt Brooke were able to go with us. Shea definetly wasn't affraid of anything. She asked a couple people for more candy, and when they would let her pick her own she would grap two handfulls. After just one house Shea was satisfied! And after 10 houses she was tired. We knew it was time to go home when she just laid down in the grass and wouldn't get up. Luckly we were just across the street from my parents house. Well, I hope everyone had a great Halloween.
