Thanksgiving Break

We just got home from spending the week in Soda Springs for Thanksgiving. I love real food. Thanksgiving dinner was so delicious, I'm quite upset that I don't have leftovers. I guess I will just have to wait a month for Christmas.

So here are some pictures that I took on our break. Most of them are of Gwen, of course, but since this is a blog for the showing off of such a cutie, I don't think anyone will mind.

Gwen loved playing with Grandma's curtains. She hid behind them and ran through them, playing peek-a-boo. Gwen thought it was the greatest game ever; she giggled and giggled as she wiped her snot all over Grandma's pretty cutrains. At least she's cute.

Here's Gwen saying "Chee!" for the camera! Oh, and her hair is cut! I love it!

Gwen only took a few bites of her Thanksgiving meal before falling asleep. It was extremely funny to watch her try to stay awake to finish the roll she was munching on. You should check out the video.

Just a few minutes after the meal, and already the naps began.

Gwen loves her aunts and uncles!

I can't wait until Christmas. Tonight we're supposed to check out Wal Mart to see if there are any more Christmas trees left. It's the day of the Big Sale so I'm not holding my breath. I'm hoping it's not ridiculously busy by the time Logan gets off work. Last year, people lined up across the parking lot to get in when it opened. It would be nice to do Chistmas shopping for Gwen while we are out, too. I want to get her a new baby doll that's life-like. She loves her currtent little baby doll (though she's already lost its clothes) so a baby doll that resembles a real baby might help her to prepare for a real baby by the time February rolls around. I'm not sure what else I want to get her, but it's still going to be hard not to get her everything. I want her to have a lot of presents on Christmas, mainly because I want to see her little face light up while she's tearing up paper, but also so she's not trying to open up everyone else's gifts. She tried last Christmas, but she could only get to places by rolling, so it was easy to head her off.

Nursery Already

I added a slideshow of pictures of Gwen's first birthday. I realized nobody has seen her birthday pictures, since I haven't even had them developed yet. We're really bad at getting our pictures developed. I haven't even had last Christmas' photos developed. I still have Gwen's birth on my camera still. That's mainly because I can't bring myself to delete them. Still, I need to get to Wal-Mart and spend about a 100 bucks to get all my pictures developed finally. I hope we'll be good when Phoebe's born and take as many pictures of her as we did Gwen. With Gwen, we took about ten poses of the same little scene every time we took her picture. We've stopped taking so many pictures already, which makes me worried that we'll forget to take pictures of the next baby. I'm sure that won't happen. My kids are meant to be in pictures. Gwen is such a little ham, honestly. She takes my camera now and tries to take pictures of herself, saying "Chee! Chee!" It's really hard to take a candid shot of her. Once she sees that camera, she stops whatever cute thing she's doing and runs to the camera, "Chee! Chee!" That's probably why we don't take as many pictures.

Gwen is 16 months, but she's going to be starting nursery this Sunday. I teach primary and Logan teaches the family history class, so we've been given permission to start Gwen in nursery early. I'm so scared! She's too young for nursery! She still puts everything in her mouth, and she doesn't know how to share toys. Honestly, I think she's too agressive. She's not shy at all, and she gets into every little kid's face, scaring the poor kid to death. We can't even stay with her for her first time, because we both have class to teach. I'm not looking forward to it at all. Logan says she'll be just fine, but I have my doubts. What if the kids are mean to her? I thought I would love to put Gwen in nursery early, but I've changed my mind. Isn't 16 months too young?

Just a little explanation

Okay, so I've been convinced to write. I had to change my site name and address, because it was "too boring" according to Logan. I'm a little hesitant to have Gwen's name in the title, because we'll be having another baby in February. Oh, well. Logan picked the name. Gwen is in love with Elmo. Everytime Elmo's World starts on Sesame Street, she starts dancing in circles and clapping her hands. I really need to sneak a video of this. Everytime she sees the camera, though, she stops whatever she's doing and says, "Chee!" My little ham.

It's late and my eyes hurt! I'll post more about us later. I need to get a hold of everyone I gave my blog address to and tell them it's been changed already.

Just Experimenting

So this is my first blog, obviously. I'm not sure how often I'll post to this, or if I'll ever come back to it. I just heard that family is blogging, so I thought I'd try it out. I just want to see how this looks on the actual blog and whatnot.

Go Suns!
