Christmas, New Years... Catch up time!

We be Blogging...

Well... since we are constantly trying to improve our blogging skills... My parents bought Ash and I the new Flip Video cameras... We haven't used it much yet, but we know... it is going to change our life! haha... we are now able to directly upload videos from our camera to our blog. Amazing.

We had an amazing Christmas with the Anderson family this year. Here is a shot of Christmas morning...



ok, please ignore the fact that I sound like a complete idiot when I talk "baby talk" to Lily, but hey... I am new at this parenting thing, and besides... I think she likes it :) I am sure she is smiling and thinking, gosh, my Dad is weird.




This is Lily with her cousin Sailor. Sailor was sooo cute, i think she more excited about playing with Lily than any of her presents. She just kept coming up to Lily and kissing her, and saying "My baby..." She is such a doll. We love her so much!


Long story Short. This is the camera. We LOVE ours... now, we can officially say that we are BLOGGERZ4LIFE!

Happy New Year!

Joseph, Mary and.... Baby Jesus?!?!

We are LOVING our ward here in Lehi. We have met some great friends, and have loved almost everything about it... For our Christmas party they asked us to be Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus... For the most part I think the church is true wherever you go... but apparently in our ward in Lehi they think Jesus is a girl... :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Here are some pictures of our first family trip with Lily! Mom and Dad rented out a place up at Deer Valley... this was also the first Thanksgiving that we have done away from home like that too! It worked out great! We had an absolute blast.



GO COUGARS! With Ash being a BYU Grad, and me... just 12 credits shy of my degree, we were glad that we had one more year of bragging rights against our Ute family and friends... it was a close one once again, and once again Cougars take the win! Thanks Dad (Lowell) for great season tickets! We loved every minute of it!

Lily has lots of boyfriends!

Lily and Baby Cooper Broadbent... he came to visit after Lily was born!


Cole and Tommy were fighting over Lily....


it looks to me like she chose Cole! Do you notice the sucking of Cole's cheek in this picture!

It's Christmas Time!

I don't know about you... but in our house, we are EXCITED for Christmas to be here! Thanksgiving was amazing, we went up to Deer Valley with the Lefrandt clan, and couldn't of had more fun! Thank you Mom and Dad for an amazing trip! We ate a lot of yummy food, went shopping at the outlets (day after Thanksgiving sales!), saw some movies... August Rush is amazing for those that haven't seen it, relaxed and had a ball. Couldn't of been more happy. We are excited to openly listen to Christmas music, everyone is getting their lights on their homes, and trees up. We decorated our house last night! I will post pictures soon!

This Christmas is a special one, it is a dream fulfilled for me. I have always dreamed about Christmas with my own little family... and now with my wife and baby I feel like it is a dream come true. While Lily may not remember this Christmas, I always and forever will :)

I hope this post finds each of you well, and enjoying the holiday season! Hopefully we will all be posting more pics soon!

Merry Christmas to All!

Love,

Jon, Ash and Baby Lily :)

Our Sweet Sweet Baby...

We just had to share... Lily is so adorable, these pictures just captured her beautifully. We couldn't be more excited to have her here, and couldn't LOVE her more!!!!
