It's a BOY!!!

We are thrilled to announce the birth of Wyatt Benjamin David Nobles on 1/23/2010. He was delivered at 9:08pm, weighing 6 lbs 9 oz and was 20 inches long. We were able to meet with his birthmom on Monday 1/25 and bring him home that night! He is adorable, has tons of black hair and LOVES to snuggle. ...more of the story later--I've got 2 kiddos that need me at the moment...

Snow-shoeing and sledding

A couple weeks ago we went snow-shoeing and sledding in the Bountiful hills. Avery's favorite part was sledding by herslef down the MASSIVE hill of ice we found...it scared me to death just watching.

Merry Christmas!!

What a wonderful Christmas Day we had! We never left home! We had people coming and going throughout the day--and it was perfect for us! Santa came through with a pogo-stick for Avery!- ...along with a baby doll and a barbie. We watched A Christmas Story, played games and ATE yummy food all day long!

Christmas Eve...

It was so nice not to travel this year and spend the holidays at HOME!! We had a nice quiet Christmas Eve with my parents and Cait and Jared. Avery was so excited for Santa...

early Christmas!

Our good friends, Craig and Andrea, sent us a BIG box of Christmas presents!! So, a couple days before Christmas (with them nagging us to JUST OPEN THEM!) we had a little early Christmas! Thank you Craig and Andrea for all the wonderful goodies! We love you guys!!!

Gingerbread Houses

My wonderfully talented and energetic neighbor made home-made gingerbread and put together gingerbread houses for our two families to decorate! We hadn't done this before--but it sure was fun and tasty :)

Teddy Bears and more teddy bears!

We took Avery and her cousin Keeton to a special event at the Grand America Hotel to give teddy bears to sick children--specifically Juvenile Diabetes patients. There was a display of hundreds of teddy bears and candy set up in the Presidential Suite. The kids each brought a teddy bear to donate-and got to pick a spot in the room to put it, and in return got a ticket to "buy" a special prize at the Grand America Children's Gift Shop. They also got to hear Christmas stories and eat candy--what could be better? We also saw all the amazing gingerbread houses, made by local bakers, that they have on display throughout the halls of the hotel. Then we spent a little bit of time in their courtyard admiring the massive Christmas tree! We will definitely go again next year.
