Here is some ketchup!

I have been quite the slacker with this blog! 

I will say that I will try to be more on top of it, but I can't promise. Now that I am back in school, blogging has to take a back seat! I will blog when I have time, like right now! :)

Tyler and I on Christmas Eve. We had just finished laying out the gifts for our little Macer!

  

The before picture! (Sorry, there isn't an after picture. I am sure you can imagine what it looked like.)

 Christmas Morning! Mace wasn't sure what to do, he was content with the bottle and blanket.

Daddy and Mace getting ready to tear into those gifts!

 Look Mace, you got a red car!

As you can tell, he still wasn't too into the whole gift thing.

He got a Hippo Flashlight, that laughs a funny laugh.

And, as you can tell, it brought a smile to this little face!

Forget about the rest of the gifts, Mace is a happy camper!

Mace got a sled, snow clothes, cars, play dough, a play dough bench, the hippo flashlight, a car track and a dinosaur puzzle. When we opened the puzzle, Mace started saying, "rawr" over and over! 

For New Year's Eve, I had to work. Tyler and Mace went to bed before the new year hit. I guess that means we are pretty boring! Work was great though. The nurses had a competition to see who could care for the more people coming in because they were drunk! It was a pretty crazy night!

On the second day of the New Year, we drove to Delta for a family Christmas party. We forgot our camera, so sadly I don't have any pictures. :( It was a great day and we had so much fun being with the family.

On the forth day of the New Year, I had my twelve week appointment with my OB. I took Mace with me, which I will never do again! (Unless Tyler is with me.) It was a quick appointment, which I was grateful for because of Mace. He was a little freaked out by the doctor and I think Mace thought he was the patient. We listened to the heart beat, which was such a comforting sound to me. I got the flu a few weeks before Christmas, and had some pretty painful cramping. I was worried about the baby, but everything seemed to be great!

On the fifth day of the New Year, Tyler's younger brother, Brad got married! It was a beautiful day. Brad and Liz were so cute and happy! It was neat to be in the temple with Tyler's parents and all of his siblings. 

Roy and Donna looked so nice!

 Mace looked like such a stud! (Thanks Whitney for letting Mace borrow Cooper's clothes!)

All of the cousins. Mace. Sadie. Brenner. Meredith.

Mace and Grandpa!

While I was working last Friday night, everyone went to the Clark Planetarium! Mace weighs 31 pounds! He is not far behind his cousins at 37lbs and 45lbs!
