Here's to 2010!
It has been WAY too long since I last updated our family blog, but Adam convinced me that it was time. Although I try to update my private blog often, I choose not to relay all the important, private family details from my life to the public. So for all you great close friends and family, Here are some fun pictures and the latest with our family!
January brought Highland lots of snow. One Saturday morning we woke up to TONS of snow, and so while Chad took a nap Adam shoveled walks and Bryson and I started to make our little snowman. When it came to the time of putting our snowman together, Adam came to the rescue! It was one of those days that you want to freeze in time. Bryson looked out the window everyday, to make sure our snowman was still there. He was so sad when he finally melted!
February brought two exciting holiday's! Bryson turned two years old on February 13th. He got a new train set, some cloths, a basketball hoop, a baseball tee, some balls, his own set of scriptures {read the story here} and of course, a few more Trucks. Bryson loves anything that has to do with trucks and is hilarious on the freeway! Every time a truck passes, Bryce exclaims WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA! DA DAT! That means, WHOA mom, look at that truck! I can't believe it has already been two years since his birth. He is becoming such a big boy!
Next was Valentine's Day! 
Then came March: Adam and I had waited since October for a night like this. I drove up with Tiffany & Devin, (Mandy's sister & Bro-in-law) and met Adam at work. We had dinner at my FAVORITE restaurant in SL called Cafe' Molise, walked Adam's Job site (which was the two buildings directly across from the south entrance of Temple Square), and then to Brian Regan. It was a night to remember. Especially because we laughed so hard that our cheeks still hurt the next day.
Spring time also brought a little good weather, so swinging was the next best thing. It was Chad's first time, and he loved it!
Next was a long awaited event for Adam. He finally got his RC car! This isn't just any remote control car. It can go up to around 60 mph! Adam LOVES it, Bryson likes it until it gets too close to him, and chad just stares at it like a puppy would. Regardless of the $, I am sure glad that my boys love it!
Next was Easter. It was General Conference weekend, so there was lots going on. Chad was sick, we bought a some shelves for our garage and Adam enjoyed putting them together while listening to conference, I was asked to take pictures of my sister's extended family (husband's side) and It was Easter. So many things but so much fun. Chad wasn't really quite sure what to think, however he didn't care much cause the poor little tyke just didn't feel good. Bryce, however, got REALLY excited about the easter egg hunt. We had a little family Easter Egg hunt in the morning, followed by Waffles with fresh strawberries. 
and another fun Easter egg hunt at Grandma's that afternoon after Conference was over.
Rather than give you more than you want to read in one sitting, I will start off my next post with fun things from late spring and this summer. Hopefully this will get you excited for more!!

The END of 2009
We thought we would finish our year with updating our very very neglected blog. 
Starting off with Thanksgiving. We spent the day with the Dudley side of the family and had a great Thanksgiving Dinner held at my sister Tiffany's home. Yes, 30 people all at one table!
Following dinner we all split up and went to see a movie. Adam and I already had seen the Blind Side, which was the first choice in movies everyone wanted to see. So we drew the short straw and went to see Planet 51. I wouldn't recommend it. My parents were so nice to watch the kids. Sadly enough, Bryson and chad slept through dinner, so they enjoyed Thanksgiving pie with us!
Next was three very exciting events. The day after Thanksgiving, my oldest nephew came home from his mission in London. Then two weeks later my nephew Tyson came home from his mission. This was the first time that both of them have met both of our kiddos.
And last but not least, my nephew Taylor got his mission call to the Qutezaltenango Guatemala mission.
We all know that the season is FILLED with eating LOTS and LOTS of yummy food. Bryson and Chad seem to think so. Chad ate food for the first time. He wasn't quite sure he loved it at first, but now JUST LOVES IT! His favorites are Green Beans and Squash. Bryson also decided that spaghetti tasted better on his head than in his mouth. He is such a great eater and LOVES food.
Not only did Chad get to try food for the first time, but he also got his first haircut. Unlike Bryson, it really was not a good experience!
Next came Christmas. We went to my sister Marney's house for Christmas Eve, where we did our traditional scones and soup dinner, followed by a pinata, and last but not least ... decorating sugar cookies for Santa! Bryson loved them all, but especially hitting the pinata.
Santa came, and Bryson and Chad sure didn't really get it, but after a while, the present opening sure became fun. Bryson and chad got fun toys and lots of trucks and cars. This was our first year by ourselves on Christmas morning, so we invited my parents to come and open gifts with us!
The day following Christmas we headed to Kanab to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Douglass. 
We planned it just right and met up with two of Adam's brothers and their families (Ryan & Jarrett). Me and my two sister in-laws were pregnant at the same time and had our boys within 3 weeks of each other. They played and played and had so much fun.
Grandma just loved spending time with her grandkids. We sure enjoyed visiting with the family and staying up way late each night playing games!
Last but not least ... we came home for one day and headed to a cabin with my family at Timberlakes, which is east of Heber, Utah. Although we were hoping to spend most of the weekend snowmobling ... we spent three days dealing with our little Chad who we found out had the stomach flu. We were hoping that Bryson would be able to ring the new year with us, but he was too tired. In fact, the cabin was so cold, we found him curled up in a small ball. Poor little guy! Because of our sick little one, we didn't sleep much ... and neither did anyone else ... we all left exhausted and somewhat relieved that the holidays were finally over.
We are now back to life, and trying to get back on a schedule ... but sure had a great holiday season and hope your holidays were great too!
