We flew to Florida,
and met my wonderful family!

anddd all 65 of my family members.
Yes 65.
41 grandchildren and 4 GREAT grandchildren.
(can you find us?... it's like playing "where's Waldo")


My mom has 9 brothers and sisters,
(she is the woman on the left)
and it was my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary
(how cute are my grandparents?!)


so what better way to spend it than on a 7 day Disney Cruise?!



My grandma was on the dance floor until 1 or 2 AM every night doing "Gangnam style"
It was the joke that "I couldn't go to bed until my grandma left".
I didn't want her beating me!


And the week begins...

 My sweet baby is 5 months old! 

He giggles!

Oh my gosh it melts my heart!

He loves to be held and cuddled.

He hates being alone.

 If he looks around and I leave the room,

he freaks out.

Little peanut has to be the center of attention all day every day!

He is so ticklish and it's the cutest thing!

I think he looks more and more like my husband every day.

He spent his 5 month birthday meeting Minnie on the beach

and was in heaven.

He is the sunshine to my day

and definitely mamma's little boy!
I'm one lucky girl!

Happy 5 months my angel!

November

• Ryan went to his first NBA Basketball game & his First FIRST BYU game!

2012 changed our lives for the better.

 Ryan got to come with the adults (my parents and in-laws) to his first Jazz game!

They played the LA Clippers and we barely lost but it was an AMAZING game.

I'm reminded how un-naturally huge these players are.

The arena got so loud, Ryan screamed for about the last 10 minutes of the game haha.

We had to get ear plugs for his poor little ears!

But other than that, he slept and some of the LA Clippers players even waved at him from the bench.

He will know that is pretty cool one day.

Great night with my favorite people!

My sweet in-laws arrived in Utah 2 days after Christmas!

We took them to City Creek in SLC.
(beautiful new mall downtown Salt Lake City)

Nordstrom's sisterly love.

Ok I don't have a picture (wish I did)

But Ryan saw his first movie in the theater!

We saw Les Mis!

It was incredible. Totally recommend it.

Ryan did a lot better than I thought he would.

He was memorized by the big screen.

We then took Ryan to his first BYU (Brigham Young University) basketball game.

(It made me miss going to school here!)

My family are HUGE BYU fans.

I grew up going to every game and traveling to at least one away game if we could.

(This was the Notre Dame/ BYU football game)

So I'm glad Ryan finally got a taste of our love for BYU sports.

The night ended perfectly when he met COSMO! The school mascot.

He was in heaven.
