OK so when you have a new baby and a new camera and it is still cold outside it makes a perfect receipe for photo shoot. So I have been taking a lot of pictures of my new little princess. She has been so much fun and I am just trying to soak up every little second with her. Here are some of my favorite photos.
When I bought this shirt for Wyatt I just thought it was cute and I didn't realize how prophetic it was going to be. Ever since London was born my little Wyatt has gone looking for trouble. So far his list of crimes have been; Elmer's glue all over Tyson's bedspread, Vaseline all over the red sofa, a bottle of lotion on London's carpet, marker drawn all over the wall, emptied a bottle of shampoo on the floor than did a dance in it and ran all over the house with shampoo feet, and last but not least the rubber glove over the hot lamp that almost started the house on fire if Tyson had not caught it in time. Now don't get me wrong he loves his baby London but he is getting a little bored sitting around the house all the time. Lets all just hope that warm weather is around the corner. Heaven help us!!
THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR SCHEDULED C-SECTION WE TOOK SOME LAST MINUTE PICTURES TO REMEMBER WHAT OUR LITTLE FAMILY WAS LIKE BEFORE OUR DAUGHTER CAME INTO THE WORLD. WE WERE ALL SO EXCITED AND I WANTED AT LEAST ONE PICTURE TO REMEMBER THE HUGE SIZE OF MY BELLY BEFORE SHE CAME OUT. WE DID NOT GET A LOT OF SLEEP THAT NIGHT WAITING FOR THE MORNING BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH THE WAIT.
WYATT'S OLD BEDROOM WAS THE CUTEST LITTLE ROOM WITH ANIMAL MURALS PAINTED ON THE WALLS BUT WHEN WE FOUND OUT IT WAS A BABY GIRL ON THE WAY THERE WAS NO STOPPING THE ROOM MAKE OVER. WYATT MOVED DOWN STAIRS INTO TYSON'S ROOM AND WE STARTED THE PRINCESS ROOM MAKE OVER. IT WAS ALL FINISHED WHEN WYATT TOOK US INTO THE ROOM AND SAID, "TAKE IT OFF, TAKE IT ALL OFF!" SORRY WYATT BUT IT WAS TO LATE. EVERYTHING WAS READY AND THE ONLY THING THAT WAS MISSING WAS A LITTLE GIRL TO PUT IN THE ROOM.
THIS KID TAKES A LICKIN' AND KEEPS ON TICKN'. MY POOR LITTLE WYATT HAS HAD MORE ACCIDENTS THAN ANYONE ELSE IN OUR FAMILY. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BROKE A BONE AND HAD STITCHES AND NOW WE ARE ADDING THIS HUGE BUMP ON HIS HEAD. HE WAS RUNNING IN THE DOOR AND FELL AND HIT HIS HEAD ON OUR BUFFET TABLE. THANK HEAVEN HE WAS ALRIGHT BUT THIS KID IS SO ACTIVE IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT IS NEXT.
I FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE SURROUNDED BY SUCH GREAT FRIENDS. MY FRIENDS WERE SO EXCITED FOR ME TO HAVE A LITTLE GIRL THAT I HAD TWO DIFFERENT BABY SHOWERS. ONE FROM BEST FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND ONE FROM GIRLS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WAS SO FUN TO GET SO MANY BOWS, LITTLE JEWLERY, AND PINK OUTFITS. I JUST LOVED IT.
IT HAS BEEN 12 WONDERFUL AND MEMORABLE YEARS AGO THAT CHIP AND I WERE MARRIED. WOW WE CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT 12 YEARS OF JOY AND ADVENTURE WE HAVE HAD ALONG THE WAY. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS WE HAVE HAD INCLUDING OUR 3 GREAT BOYS AND THE LITTLE GIRL JUST A WEEK A WAY. WE ENJOYED OUR NIGHT AT A FUN RESTAURANT AND MOVIE.
FOR VALENTINES THE BOYS DECORATED BOXES IN A CREATIVE NEW WAY. BRAYDEN MADE A FLAT SCREEN PLASMA TV OUT OF A PIZZA BOX THAT INCLUDED A EXTENSION CORD COMING OUT THE SIDE AND TYSON CREATED A CELL PHONE. A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHEN I WAS LITTLE. WHEN THEY CAME HOME WE MAKE VALENTINES COOKIES- I ACTUALLY THINK IT WAS ICING WITH A LITTLE COOKIE TO GO WITH IT. ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT THEY WERE FILLED WITH LOVE.
FOR WYATTS THIRD BIRTHDAY WE HAD ALL OF HIS LITTLE FRIENDS OVER FOR A THOMAS THE TRAIN BIRTHDAY PARTY. THEY WERE SUCH CUTE LITTLE KIDS TOGETHER BUT THE BEST PART WAS THE CAKE. CHIP DECORATED THE WHOLE THING WITH NO PATTERN OR ANYTHING. HE WANTS ME TO ADD HE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO HIRE OUT FOR PARTYS BECAUSE HE LIKES HIS DAY JOB WAY TOO MUCH. ;)
BRAYDEN AND TYSON PLAYED JR JAZZ ON TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS THIS SEASON. TYSON WAS ABLE TO PLAY WITH HIS COUSIN DALLIN AND BRAYDEN WAS ABLE TO HAVE HIS DAD BE HIS COACH FOR HIS TEAM. COACH CHIP DID AN AWESOME JOB AND THEY BOTH HAD A GREAT SEASON.
WE BROUGHT IN THE NEW YEAR WITH A PARTY AT OUR HOUSE WITH OUR FRIENDS. WE HAD A HUGE BUFFET OF ALL KINDS OF YUMMY FOOD INCLUDING GIGANTIC STRAWBERRY DRINKS. WE PLAYED 2007 TRIVIA WITH QUESTIONS THAT CHIP THOUGHT UP AND ALL KINDS OF OTHER GAMES WHILE ALL THE KIDS WATCHED MOVIES AND PLAYED TOGETHER. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW UTAH HAS HAD RECORD BREAKING SNOW FALL THIS YEAR. SO WHAT FUN IS ALL THIS SNOW IF YOU CAN'T PLAY IN IT? WE SPENT A FEW DAYS AT MY PARENTS CABIN AT SUNDANCE AND WENT SLEDDING DOWN THE MOUNTAINS OF SNOW. WYATT SPENT MOST THE TIME CATCHING THE SNOW FLAKES IN HIS MOUTH.
YOU MIGHT THINK THIS IS AN AD FOR SOME THIRD WORLD STARVING CHILDREN TO SEND MONEY TO FEED THEM BUT NO IT IS JUST MY SKINNY LITTLE PACKER BOYS. OH WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE FOR THOSE GENES.
CHIP AND WYATT ARE THE YOUNGEST AND THE OLDEST OF OUR FAMILY BUT THEY SEEM TO LIKE TO NAP AT THE SAME TIME. WYATT JUST LOVES TO CUDDLE UP TO HIS DAD.
YOUR NEVER TO OLD TO TELL SANTA WHAT YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS. THIS YEAR SANTA CAME TO OUR WARD CHRISTMAS PARTY AND WHEN HE CAME OUT WYATT BEAT ALL OTHER 200 CHILDREN WHO WERE THERE AND WAS THE FIRST TO SIT ON SANTA'S LAP. IT WAS TOO FUNNY!
TO RELEASE SOME STRESS IN CHIPS LIFE HE WENT ON A GUYS GOLF TRIP TO ST. GEORGE. HE LOVED TALKING SPORTS WITH GUYS WHO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT AND HE DIDN'T MIND THE FACT THAT HE PLAYED 18 HOLES ONE DAY AND 27 THE NEXT. IT WAS SOME MUCH NEEDED THERAPY.
WE TOOK THE TRACKS UP TO TEMPLE SQUARE WITH TIFFANY AND ZAK AND COUSINS TO SEE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE KIDS LOVED THE HOT CHOCOLATE THEY DRANK AFTERWORDS.
ONE OF CHIPS FAVORITE MEMORIES WAS MAKING CHRISTMAS COOKIES WHEN HE WAS YOUNG. HE LOVES TO MAKE THOSE SAME CANDY CANE COOKIES WITH HIS BOYS EVERY YEAR.
ALL THE BOYS HELPED DECORATE THE CHRISTMAS TREE THIS YEAR. THIS IS OUR FUN FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE WHERE WE HAVE ALL OF OUR SENTIMENTAL ORNAMENTS FROM VACATIONS, KIDS HOME MADE ORNAMENTS, AND CHIPS GREAT GRANDMA'S ORNAMENTS SHE GAVE HIM MANY YEARS AGO. IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO UNWRAP THEM AS WE GO AND REMEMBER GREAT TIMES.
