Happy New Year!

Up snow canyon!

The lovely couple, i know at the reservoir in Kayenta.
Here is where we take Ben to feed the ducks. He even
hand fed the big fat greedy one that practically ate your
whole hand with it.

Snow canyon has some really fun short hikes
for kids. It was really funny hiking with Ben at his
snail pace. He would point out every rock as though
we hadn't already seen a million!

Christmas

Our outfits from Nana Davis. She got Ben and Josh matching sweaters, but I haven't got a picture of the 2 of them yet.


















Our sledding adventure





































Ben unwrapping his gifts. He got Cheetos from grandma, always his favorite! Paula got him cheetos for his birthday and he thought it was the best, so now you know the secret to Ben. Dora comes next and grandpa got him a boots toy ( because he didn't feel right about getting him a dora), and when he gave it to him Ben said, where's Dora, I love her?


































Christmas eve. Last year we tried to get a family photo and it failed. This year we tried again, and well, here is what we got

5 year anniversary!

Josh and I had our 5 year on December 3rd. It's just crazy to think about that we've been together for 8 years! Anyway this video is long, but if you're bored and you're actually interested here you go!

Bens first Santa experience

We took Ben to see santa at the mall yesterday. He got to sit on his lap with molly and despite how bad he wanted to, he didn’t cry, he just looked terrified! Molly cried, so at least one of them did. Ben told santa that he wanted candy for Christmas, and then he got a candy cane. I guess Christmas came on November 20th, oh wait, I guess if it’s candy Christmas comes almost every day for Ben. We didn’t buy a picture cause they charge $20 and it made me mad! Then later Ben wanted to see Santa again so he could get another candy cane, and I was like ummm I don’t think so. Then he started to cry, and I thought what the heck, so we went again. It was cute! Ben gave santa a bump it. It was the cutest little santa too! So I got suckered into buying a blasted picture! Yes, I am the cause of the problem! They couldn’t charge that much of we people wouldn’t put up with it. I realize it’s only once a year, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a rip off! Urgg! Oh well, it's fun cause I get to show Ben the picture of him with santa all the time.

End of summer days!

It's always sweet to see photos of a boy with his daddy!

Ben's turning 2!

So taking Ben to get his photos is close to torture, however nothing short of a miracle we get lucky and get one that's really great. It's hard to believe he's a 2 year old, but i'm starting to believe it even more lately. That terrible 2 thing apparently was not a myth and i feel a little prone to grabbing that candy bar to relieve my stresses! I should probably get out and hike or something, but ya know. He's still cute as ever and thanks to finishing his movie for the last year I can look back on the sweet times and suddenly things aren't so bad, in fact life is good!

Stewart Falls

Josh and I took Ben on a hike up to stewart falls the other day. We love going here because it has been a place we go every year together. Lots of those good memories, and a short and beautiful hike to boot! This is where our engagements were taken right under the waterfall.
