Will speaks!

So Will has been saying "Good" officially for a few weeks now. I'm not quite sure if he knows what it means. Jason is convinced it's his word for everything like "smurf" is for the Smurf's. Well today after hours of "good, good, good" we went up to have a bath and get ready for bed. Jason has been confined to bed today because he is sick and I'm trying to keep the germs minimized. So anyway, I am trying to get his jammies on and he is escaping, trying to climb on the bed so Jason will rescue him and he said "Dada" several times and reaching out to Jason. It was so sweet!

So I was hoping to post his 1 year old pictures, but Portrait Innovations messed up and didn't burn the CD so I have to trek back to Provo tomorrow to pick it up. I should have them up tomorrow.

Christmas Mini-Vaca

So Jason & I decided to take a mini-vaca instead of gifts to each other this year. It was our first night away from the baby, and boy was it fun! We spent the night at Zermatt in Midway and had dinner at the Blue Boar Inn. It was awesome! We also went cross country skiing and tubing in Soldier Hollow and it was soooooooooo freaking fun!!!! I can't believe I've lived in Utah my whole life and never tried cross country before. The video is of us going down the tubing hill which was a blast and I highly recommend to you friends, especially if you have kids. They will dig it!

We waited exactly 1 day after his first birthday to leave Will. He did great at grandma & grandpa's house and barely missed us at all. Thanks so much to mom & dad for giving us the night away!

Happy Birthday Will!

Well, we survived the first year and Will had such a fun birthday! He got an awesome bear that talks to him from grandma & grandpa (which hopefully we can keep away from Bas as long as possible) and a big truck he can ride on, walk with, and stack blocks in. Grandma, strike that, "Auntie" Mina sent him some money & a card to pick out whatever he wants, but it has been delayed in the holiday mail.









Tasting cake:


Considering the flavors:


I think he likes it:


Well anyway, Happy Birthday Monkey! We love you!!!

Merry Christmas!

Will got a haircut today

We went to Cookie Cutters which specializes in kids haircuts. Boy was it cool! They have neat-o airplanes and cars they sit in and a tv with cartoons right in front of each chair. We were in and out in 15 minutes and Will didn't cry at all. Plus he was thrilled with his balloon they gave him too. Here is the before & after pics:

Wicked update

So Jason is going out of town Thursday, and my mom had surgery so an overnighter is out of the question for Will. She is going to come over early (5am) Friday so I can go wait in line for tickets though. So no camping for me, but hopefully I will still be able to get good seats.

***Update*** So I went up at 5am, to find the line already wrapped the block. I am glad I didn't wait because apparently people waited in line for hours to find them sold out by the time they got up there. I tried for 2 hours online and by phone, but the website had crashed and the phonelines were busy. Now people are scalping them at 3 times face value or more. At that price I can fly to NYC and see it there! (Which I am sure is a much better production.) I will keep my eyes open for a decently priced ticket, but if all else fails will see it in NYC when Cole & I go for our 30th bday next year. I am very dissappointed though. *Sigh.*

Will met Santa

He didn't cry, but he wasn't too thrilled to meet him. Maybe next year...

Who wants to go "camping"?

Tickets for Wicked go on sale on December 12th at 7am at the Capitol Theatre, BUT, they don't go on sale online, or by phone, until 10am! By then I am sure the good seats will be gone. So I will be camping overnight to get my seats. Who wants to come?

Back from TX

We made it back in one piece, with suprisingly little damage done to the debit card. It was a super fun trip, but way too short. Will has such a good time playing with his "cousins" Chloe, Brooklyn, and Jack...and of course their awesome cat Chuck Norris (the coolest cat in the world)! Will was good on the plane on the way there, and GREAT on the way back -- whew, what a relief! Anyway, thank you so much to Aunt Colleen for all the clothes and toys! I won't have to shop for Will for clothes at all in the next year!!! LOVE IT!!! We had such a good time and hope to come back in the summertime. Love you guys!

Will and Aunt Cole:

Off to Austin

Tomorrow I leave for Austin for a few days, but won't have time to post tomorrow with all the packing so thought I better do it now. I'm very nervous to fly with Will by myself. I just pray he sleeps! It is only a 3 hour flight, not like the 6 hours to Hawaii, so we should be okay. I am super excited to go visit my BFF Cole and her family and of course eat some good Tex Mex & shop up a storm at the outlets. I am bringing a VERY large bag to hopefully fit all the loot. I will be back on Friday morning with lots to talk about. Wish me luck!
