The Youngest One Bites The Dust

My little brother, the youngest child in the family, got married last weekend. *Tear*. He married a lovely girl named Jill in the St. George temple. Jay and I left our boys with Grandma and Grandpa Durrant and escaped to St. George for the whole weekend....just the two of us. It was divine. It was so fun to be with my family and also to be somewhere just a tad warmer.

Aren't they a cute couple?



So happy for them! Welcome to the Crazies, Jill :) Hope you survive!


I had a great time with all of my sisters. It is a very rare occasion that we are all together.




My beautiful mom :) And some very huge bags under my eyes. Sheesh. Can you tell my baby hasn't been sleeping through the night pretty much since we moved?


Jay's groomsmen tie and my sister's dress matched perfectly. Prom 1991?



In other news, Luke's mullet was getting a little out of control. I hate cutting my boys' hair for the first time. For some reason it makes them look more like a little boy and less like a baby. And then I feel like I need another baby. It is a vicious cycle and I am definitely NOT ready to have another baby. But, it had to be cut.



His hair is so blonde that he just looks bald. Ha!!


Jack got an electric screwdriver for Christmas because he is always stealing Jay's. He is quite skilled with it. Here is the board that he screwed all of the screws into.

Here is a little video of my very talented craftsman.



Luke is really not wanting to walk. He will sometimes, but mostly he prefers to walk around on his knees.

A very Utah Christmas

I am a little behind on the blog and I keep telling myself that it's ok because we just moved, but 3 weeks is probably enough time to get my act together. Better late than never, right?

We had a great Christmas! All of Jay's siblings were able to be in Utah this year. We haven't all been together in 4 years, so it was a ton of fun!

Christmas morning was pretty crazy. 20 people in one room trying to open gifts was insane. But, we loved it!

Can you tell that Jack was just a little excited to start opening?!

Even Luke got into the action. He mostly loved stealing gifts from his cousin's piles and bringing them over to his own. Tricky little thing!


Jack has been wearing this cape and mask pretty much everyday. His self-proclaimed official title is "Big Superman Hero Guy". Thanks to Jolene for the countless hours of entertainment :)



The day after Christmas we made the trek up to Temple Square to see the lights. They were beautiful! So beautiful that I didn't get any pictures of them. Can you tell how happy Luke was to be there?

I had him in about a million layers. He could barely move his arms.


Good things always come in threes. Three of the four siblings in Jay's family had babies all within a few months of each other. All boys. They loved crawling around together and they all liked to pass their toys around, from mouth to mouth to mouth. Yay for germs!!


Aren't they darling?!? (L-R) Truman - 5 months, Henry - 9 months, Luke - 1 yr.


We are loving the new house. More on that later, but this picture was too cute not to post. They were digging up the lot next to us last week and the boys stood at the window for at least an hour just watching. Luke is barely tall enough to see out. He started clapping each time the backhoe got some dirt. It's the little things that count.


During Christmas, we played the most fun game, ever. Just dance on the Wii. I have never really wanted a video game before, but this was awesome, and I really want it. I also got some footage of Jay, which is hilarious, and he is going to be really mad when he finds out I put it on the blog for all to see.

Enjoy!!
