"Time Out" Weekend!

What amazing event for women! If you haven't heard of it.... it's time you find out! This event is put on by Deseret Book, and they travel the nation with it. The presenters and entertainers are fabulous. Each year they change/rotate, and this time we were blessed with some truly outstanding ones. We had Hilary Weeks & Jenny Jordan Frogley for our entertainment, and some of the presenters were Ardeth Capp, Mark Mabry {Reflections of Christ photographer}, Brent L. Topp, Kim Nelson, and the outstanding Kris Belcher!

It began Friday night, and we decided it would be some much more fun if we stayed the night up in Ogden together! And it was! :) We haven't had a sleepover with just us 3 girls in forever! The next morning we headed back up to Weber State for the rest of the day!

Kris Belcher was my favorite! She has had one amazing journey to tell the world, and some key insights that touch the heartstrings. :) We also got to meet up with Aunt Louise and Emily too! It was so fun to share the event with family!

Thanks mom for making this happen for me and Jennie! We love you so much!

Sledding with Hunter!

Wow! Hello again:) I have been a little out of the blogging world lately...sorry... between no computer and holidays, it just got pushed to the bottom of my priority list. But I'm back on!

Christmas was wonderful! Hunter was so much fun this year! He is so good at opening presents, and he would have been fine if all we gave him was the boxes and the wrapping:) I love it! He played a wonderful shepard in our Christmas program we put on at my Grandma's on Christmas Eve... him and his cousin Boston & Baylee were the shepards, and the other cousin's played the other parts. It's so cute to watch. They didn't have a clue what was happening but they liked it!

Christmas morning we ate breakfast with Nana and Papa at our house and opened all of our presents! It was so great. Tyler was the best! {I'm so excited about my new Cricut!!} I love you! Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for the rest of the day, which turned into a sleepover because of the awesome snow storm. It was wonderful!

Christmas always goes by way too fast! I love every minute though. {which is why I'm procrastinating taking down all my decorations, and I still turn on all my lights! I love me!}

We have loved sledding though! Hunter is so much fun! There is a park right by our house that has a soccer bowl with just the right size of hills for him to go down by himself too! He loves it! We also like to hook Jersey's leash to the sled and have him pull Hunter around. . . it's too funny! Jersey likes to take off fast though and it makes Hunter fly on his back. It's great! So, here's some of our latest sledding adventure pictures. . .

We love you Hunter!!

Long Time, No Post!

Wow! I have not done anything for a while now.... so sorry. Life has been so hectic! Between Hunter's birthday, my birthday, Halloween, Ty's birthday, all of us passing aroung the flu (me getting sick 3 times might I add!), Ty starting a 2nd job, callings, and throwing 2 showers for friends, on top of lots of other family commitments, I haven't had a second to update my blog! :)

So Sharida, you are so right! It's been far too long! Thanks for getting me back.... Here's my tag!

SWEETHEART TAG Each person answers questions about their sweethearts. At the end of the post, the person then tags 6 people and posts their names; then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged.

What is your husbands name? Tyler Brian Gnehm
How long have you guys been married? 2 Years
How long did you date? 9 1/2 months total; dating & engagement
How old is he? Just turned 24 - we're getting up there! :)
Who is taller? Ty for sure, and I love it! I didn't have to give up any of my shoes:)
Who can sing best? I'd have to say me but Ty does have a great voice, even though he doesn't think so.
Who is smarter? Depends.... Probably me when it comes to most school subjects, but when it comes to church knowledge, handyman stuff, and who knows what else, Ty is!
Who does the laundry? Definitely me... Ty has been known to do a load or two but not usually, which I don't mind though. I like being in charge of the laundry, so I know it gets done right. (Ty didn't even know that you could change the water temperature or that you were supposed to! And, I always find money, chapstick, gum, and a number of plumbing supplies in his pockets. Who knows what would happen to our clothes if he did the laundry? I still love you babe!)
Who pays the bills? I pay them, but Ty pays for them! (Thanks sweetie!)
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? When you are looking at the bed, it would be me. I try to change it up sometimes, but Ty doesn't like to:)
Who mows the lawn? That would be Ty. I've mowed the back a time or two, but Ty's all about the front looking emaculate (with all those diagonal lines and stuff) so that's all him!
Who cooks dinner? Ty used to do it all the time, but now I do. He doesn't have time with school and scouts these days. He's a much better cook than I am, but I'm learning:)
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Probably Ty.... I like to be right.... lol.
Who kissed who first? I'd say both. It was on New Year's Eve.
Who wears the pants? We both wear a leg! I think things work the best when you walk side by side:) Thanks sweetie! I love you. You are so great at taking care of things, supporting our family, and you always take care of me the best!

Now, I tag Addie, April, Annie O., Annie W., Alicia, and Andrea! (The "A" list! Hee, hee)

Hunter's First Birthday!

Well, Hunter turned 1!!! We had such a fun day... All the family came over to join us in celebrating Hunter's birth! It was so great. It made me reflect on all the wonderful things we love about Hunter:) Here's some of them:

* The way he gets so excited when you open his door in the morning.
* His hugs!
* How when you hold him on your hip, he puts his hand on your shoulder and he'll give it a little pump squeeze... it's adorable!
* He screams! Happy screaming, not mad. Sometimes it gets too much, but it's quite funny most of the time.
* He scrunches his nose and huffs & puffs.
* He scrunches his nose when he's fake crying.
* He scrunches his nose when he laughs... pretty much he loves to scrunch his nose.
* He says "Mama" after he wakes up and wants me to come get him.
* If you give him something he likes to eat, he'll say "more" but in his words, it's "mow".
* He can say "Dada", "No", "Mow", "Hot", "Moo" like a cow, and lots of other babbles.
* He loves to talk. We don't know what he says, but he tells lots of stories.
* He reads books! He'll sit on his little chair, open up his books, read aloud, point at the pages, and turns the pages. It's my favorite!
* He just started walking, and they are the cutest shaky little steps!
* When you change his diaper, as soon as the diaper comes off , it's hands to the wee-wee!
* He wrestles with Jersey and thinks it's the funniest thing in the world!
* When he's teething, he bites on things so hard that he vibrate-shakes all over!
* He loves to play in the water... any water!... whether it's Jersey's drinking water, our drinking water, the bathtub, pool's, the ocean, etc....
* He loves to play in the bathroom, and pull out all of mommy's make-up, hair products, lotions, and unroll the toilet paper rolls:)
* He loves to talk on our cell phones. Although not when "real" people are talking back; only his imaginary people:)
* He tries to feed us when he's eating.
* He also DOES feed Jersey when he's eating!
* When he stands at the window to watch daddy come home - he gets so excited!
* How he does this 'bear-crawl-like' thing whenever he's crawling on the pavement or grass. He hates it when his knees touch. It's hilarious!
* When he takes baths, he has this special orange cup he likes to fill up while the bath fills, and then drink it!

Well, I could go on and on forever... I already have:) But he is just too cute. We love you so much little dude!
