My new little neice, Mae, was born February 11th. She weighed 5lbs 14oz and was 20in long. She's a tiny little girl and so sweet!! I lucky to be able to be there when she was born, which was really special!
Mae was born on my mom's birthday, so she was pretty excited about that. We all know who the new favorite grandbaby is now. ; )
Becca, Jeff, and little Mae, just hours after she was born.
She's swaddled pretty good here, so it's hard to see her, but she's precious!!
Ellie and Abbey at our family Christmas party in their beautiful matching dresses. What sweet little girls!!
Dad decided to do the story of the Nativity a little different this year. He had a nativity out on the table and took turn having each grandchild come up and place a piece of the nativity where they wanted, to create the scene. After they chose their piece, they had to tell why it was important. The kids were adorable and so eager to help and share their knowledge.

An intense game during our fussball tournament: The Hastings vs. The Scott's. The Scott's happened to be the tournament champions. :) We always have fun playing fussball, especially when Michael makes up the official tournament brackets.
I just thought this was adorable. Hailey was reading "How Much I Love You" to Josh through the stethescope. 
Jason and I went to Salt Lake last night with our friends Erik and Mirjam. The lights were beautiful, as always. It was cold, but there was still a ton of people. We had a great time!!
Although it looks like christmas, we went to Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun having all of Jason's family home. All 9 kids were there for the weekend. Besides stuffing ourselves full on Thanksgiving, we also had a mini Christmas as well. It was great!!
Jason with 3 of his 4 brothers, Jordon, Josh, and Joey. They had fun wrestling, playing video games, and arm wrestling all weekend long! (something I realized I'm not quite used to with so many sisters) :) We had a lot of fun!
I thought I would give a quick update on my surgery. This is Jason and I before the procedure with the teddy bear my Dad and Peggy sent me. Everything went very well. The hole was the same size as my sister Becca's, 12mm (about 1/2 in.). Pretty good size. I stayed one night in the new hosptial in Murray. The hospital is beautiful and has huge rooms. And, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, being on the other side of things. :) The nurses were great and Dr. Sorensen did a great job. Jason took some picutres after the procedure, but I thought this one of me was a bit better. :) I'm feeling pretty good and am thankful to have it all over so we can move on with life! I'm greatful the Lord helped us find the problem and fix it when He did. :)
So this is our new toy, a Kymco People 150 scooter!! I never thought I would buy anything close to a motorcycle, but I was wrong! A couple of months ago, a friend of ours bought one and let us ride it...and man was it fun. After much discussion about safety issues, we decided to buy one. Shortly after we decided that we wanted one, a friend of Jason's offered us a great deal on his. He is moving in the spring and can't take it with him. Anyway, we are having a lot of fun on it now before the snow hits. It gets great gas milage (about 80 mpg), so of course that was a big selling point for us. :) We would love to take anyone on a ride, so come visit!!
Don't we look good on it? And don't worry, the helmets are coming soon!
My Birthday was on the 8th and I had a fun day. I actually got to celebrate on several different days, so it was great! My sister-in-law, Jannae, made the cake for me and it was yummy!!
That night we went to the BYU vs. TCU football game with our friends Erik and Miriam. We won, so it was a lot of fun!
I'm married to Cosmo's biggest fan, so we were excited when we got this picture. Cosmo is a pretty big celebrity around here for those of you who don't know!!
