THE GREAT LONDINI TURNS ONE!!!

Well, little Miss London is now one year old! She has really grown up to me in the past month; she is crawling all over the place, is into everything, and is losing those "baby-like" qualities. We had a little party for her on Friday night, and she was definitely spoiled. Little Londy loves cheese,mandarin oranges, baths, playing with toys, her sister Brooklyn, and apparently she LOVES cake. : ) Happy Birthday sweet London, we love you!!!

The night before her birthday - we let her open one present. Brooklyn was so helpful. : )

Opening her cute new outfit from Grandpa and Grandma Watts, the hangers were a big hit. . .

A fun new book for the birthday girl.
A new camera (which Brooklyn also loves).

A new hairdo for the birthday girl, she cried while I did it. I LOVE it!!!

Yummy cake!!!
She got it everywhere (eyes, ears, sprinkles up the nose) : ) . . .

Loving her birthday . . .

Singing Happy Birthday:

Digging In:

P.S. I was a little nervous of what she would do with the cake. She's not a big eater, and if you remember back to B's first birthday (when she wouldn't even touch the cake - it was so anti climatic), I was worried London would be the same way. Not to worry, she LOVED it, and dove right in! : )

BROOKLYN IN ACTION!!!

This is Brooklyn in all of her glory. We seriously need to put the girl in dance/singing lessons, etc. Love her!!!

HEART DAY = LOVE

Look where all of this love has gotten us: two beautiful kiddos later, the LOVE is still going strong!!!

We had a nice dinner out, just the two of us (thanks to my parents for watching the ladies). Ben spoiled me with flowers and some other little presents. Love that hubby of mine!!!

THE GREAT LONDINI!!!

She did it!!! London is crawling!!! Pardon their undone hair, and know that London rocks the mohawk constantly now! : ) We love our little Londy. . . way to go baby girl!!!

SLC Weekend Getaways . . .

For two weekends in January, we were able to getaway to SLC. January 7 -9, we went down for my cousin Ally's wedding/reception. Ben also installed a wrap on Phatty's (from the Boondocker's crew) sled, and was able to go to The National ISOC races. The ladies and I shopped, swam, and played in the hotel while Ben was gone.

We went down again January 27 -30. One of our friends (and Ben's old roommate) from college, Corey, got married. We left on Thursday afternoon, and headed straight to PF Chang's for some delicious dinner. Then we checked into our hotel for the night, and took the girl's swimming. The next morning we were up bright and early to head to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple for the wedding. I loved that temple, it was so beautiful. I chilled with the girls in the car while Ben went in to the wedding. After that, we met up with some of the old college gang and visited and went to Taco Time. They had their wedding dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and their reception at a chapel downtown. It was so fun to catch up with everyone, and my BFF Julie, even made the journey from TX to be there. : ) On Saturday, we met up with everyone again for a little bowling/arcade games (Brooklyn's first time bowling - she LOVED it!), lunch at In N' Out, and dinner together again. We had such a fun time seeing everyone! On Sunday, we met Julie at Temple Square. It was so fun showing Brooklyn around, and she kept asking all of the missionaries, "But where's President Monston?" : ) Before leaving town, we had to sneak to The Cheesecake Factory for some oh-so-delicious lunch with Julie. We have the best friends, thanks everyone for such a fun weekend! Ah, the memories!!!

Denver Christmas 2010 . . .

This year's (well last now) Christmas was spent in Denver with the Watts family. I realized now that I am blogging about this how awful we were at taking pictures while we were there. This is all I have for you, so sad...



We left for Denver on Monday, December 20. The roads were looking bad all of the way there, so we decided to get a hotel in Rock Springs, WY ahead of time to be safe. We got there about 5:00 and decided to stay the night and go the rest of the way the next day. We started watching the weather report and they said it was supposed to snow all night, so we decided to head back out so we wouldn't be stuck in Rock Springs on my birthday. We made it to Laramie at 11:00 that night and after fighting snow, ice, wind, low visibilitly all night, decided to stay the night there. The next morning we went the rest of the way. When we crossed over into Colorado, it was seriously blue skies and sunny with NO snow in sight. I love that Colorado weather.



We partied it up in CO for 2 weeks! We had a wonderful Christmas, and we were completely spoiled rotten. We hit up the malls, Coach factory outlet, Build-A-Bear, musuems, multiple Chinese restaurants, and all of my favorite CO stops. Thanks to the family for a wonderful vacation!

The kiddos loved the carousel . . .

Yummy Christmas Eve dinner with the fam. . . .
