Beautiful Smiles

I finally caught Jane's beautiful smile on camera. What a pretty little girl.

Smart idea

I found this cute/smart idea on a friend's blog. It's a zipper that zips top to bottom or bottom to top! Great for diaper changes. It's also really cute. Check it out. (in case you're wondering, the picture below is not Jane :)

A couple sweet pictures

I figured out that round brushing Zoey's hair sure makes a cute little "do"

While we are packing Zoey is unpacking ;)

My five dollar find at macy's. Gotta love 40% off clearance.

Zoey loves Jane!

Opening one of those shrunken wash clothes that expands in the water. Zoey is saying "cheese"

What should I be doing?

Well, we are in the middle of moving and what am I doing? That's right, blogging. I just cannot seem to get into packing and moving. Just thinking about it makes me yawn. At least it's only 25 minutes away, which means we can make multiple trips.

A few things to blog about....our new apartment pros and cons

We are moving to Stonebrook apartments which are pretty nice. They have granite counter tops with deep sinks. The lip on the sink is inset so you can just wipe stuff right on it! That's great. The dining area is big and open both to the kitchen and living area...that's nice. There are two bedrooms, much better than one (we're moving up in the world:)! The carpet isn't nice but much better than what we had here. It's brown as opposed to the cream color we have here that has 0% stain resistance. I have sincerely hated it. Our bedroom has two closets and all the closets have built in shelving. The bathroom vanity is also granite and is larger than than our old one. The sink lip is also inset. There are more drawers and area for bathroom items yay! The bathroom itself is much larger and has the washer and dryer in it (with closet doors to close it off). I like this because you can just keep all the dirty stuff inside the bathroom where it should be. We get to paint one wall in the front room an accent color which I thought was a great idea for the apartment to do. It is also just a few months old so everything including appliances are all new. So, all in all a good apartment

Down side.....It's not too big :( We are taking a cut in both the living area and our bedroom. Thr light fixtures are gold...not a fan. The tub is kinda small. There's VERY little storage. We will be renting a garage to put our stuff in. It's an apartment so all the goods that come along with that....noisy neighbors, parking, knowing that everyone in the other thousand apartments is living with the same floor plan as you.....I guess there aren't too many negative things the biggest one is the small front room but you can't get everything you want when you're still starving students right?

So that's our apartment, I'm excited to get all settled in!

Yet another Christmas

When my parents came to UT they brought us another Christmas. Since we weren't able to go to CA this year for Christmas, they brought all of Zoey and our presents with them to UT this trip. I also brought the presents we had for them so they could open them.

Here's Breanna with the apron I made for her.

Here's my mom and dad, or Grammy and Grampa with a picture of Christ we got for them

Here's little Zoey helping Grampa open his present. Notice the accumulation of presents she is wearing.

Zoey opening her Grammy stocking. I think she had more fun this time around than on the real Christmas because she didn't have to get up at 5am with all the cousins :)

Christmas...better late than never

We had a great Christmas, things have just been too busy to post sorry! I'll explain more in the pictures.

This was New Years Eve dinner at Mimi's. yum!

I came up to the room where Andrew was putting Zoey down for a nap. This is what I found :)

My first Christmas experience with the Olsens. It was tons of fun!

Andrew helping Zoey open her present from Santa. It was a doll high chair, stroller, and bed. She loves it!

Opening presents on Papa's lap..an Olsen tradition

Opening Christmas Eve jammies

Each family did a Christmas nativity skit. Zoey was the Angel in ours. We just read the part about the Angels :)

Zoey's raindeer antlers

I look top heavy.....this was at the adult Christmas party at Paul and Serena's house. We had brick oven pizzas in their real brick oven and did a white elephant exchange which was fun.

We definately had a white Christmas this year. Zoey is watching Papa shovel the sidewalks.

Baby Blessing

We blessed Baby Jane on Feb. 7th at Andrews parents house in Lindon, UT. There were so many friends and family there to support us which was really nice. My sister Breanna made Nancy Jane's dress and as you can see it was so beautiful.

This is my side of the family that was there. I wish I could get all of Andrews family but with so many children, it almost feels impossible. :(
