Our Little Devils

So we've been having a lot of fun with our little pets. They have thoroughly enjoyed pushing us to our limits...
First Devil: BELLA This pet is having a great time trying to get Izzie in trouble. For the last few days she has been avoiding her own litter box and feel free to relieve herself any where she chooses, which we first mistook for Izzie only to later discover it was her.

Second Devil: IZZIE
Now somehow this timid little dog has gotten quite a bit of courage. She is learning to think with her stomach versus her conscience and has learned to climb chairs. Who would have thought my dog would enjoy eating like we but oh, indeed she does.

Christmas at the park

On Saturday we got to go up and have Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Newey. While there we and several others took Carson to the park. He loved going on the swings and down the slides!



Merry Christmas

This year for Christmas we got to come back home to California. After a somewhat stressful flight we got to see our fmaily who we haven't seen since we left. This factor is one of my favorite parts of the holidays.
This present here would be my very own Sewing machine. I'll now be creating loads of new things. Top of my list would be clothes and curtains. The texas sun is bright.

This was obviously Logan's favorite Gift.
It makes Christmas morningi so much fun when you have the excitement that little faces bring in. Tyler played Santa for us and handed out presents.

Jill's Favorite Gift


So it was my birthday on Thursday and Eric got me the most amazing gift! Yes, a guitar. I had mentioned a few months back how I would really enjoy learning to play. I love how you can take a guitar with you to places when you wouldn't always have a piano. I now own an absolutely beautiful guitar. I have spent the last few days learning to play and wow, do my fingers hurt. I have found the guitar to be similar enough to the piano that I did get an advantage. I have also had fun playing some songs in the primary book. The one that I have found to be the easiest is Book of Mormon Stories. Poor Eric has had to sit and listen to me play this one over and over til he's practically singing it in his sleep. Its a lot of fun though and I can't wait til I can start remembering chords without a chart for reference.




So today was a fun filled day. A cold front had come into College Station and we woke to find snow on our cars. Later this evening it started to snow again and this time it actually stuck. Eric was insisting that we take advantage of this and build ourselves a snowman. We each made our own. Eric had been expecting wet snow that was very slushy but instead the snow was nice and dry, just like Utah. I had to teach Eric how to work with it! It was a lot of fun. (As you can see in Eric's picture, the cold front has definately passed.)
