Post Pregnancy

Here is my post pregnancy body! I know it's only been two months, but I am so ready to wear my old clothes! I'm so over my maternity clothes. Anyways, those of you with experience and ideas for returning to my previous form, or close to it, send in advice: )

Phoebe and Ethan

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends. We had an exciting year filled with firsts. Jared started his first semester at UCF in pursuit of his Bachelors Degree in Management--Information Systems. We bought our first home. I completed my first year of employment with Deseret Industries. And most exciting, we had our first child. We hope the new year fills all that we love with hope and health. Here are some fun holiday pictures.

Our Christmas tree smells so good! And, courtesy of my friend and former roomie Nicole, Ethan now has a stocking to match the ones she sent us when we got married.

Grandma Krause bought these cute reindeer ears. Ethan and I are modeling them below. Who's cuter? Please vote for me!

Gingerbread Houses

Myndie and Jason came over and we made Gingerbread Houses. We had a lot of fun together. Maybe next year, Ethan will help instead of sleeping through the event!

Ethan's First Photo Shoot

Here are some of my favorites from Ethan's first photo shoot!

So many firsts!

It seems everyday Ethan does something new for the first time. On Sunday he had his first full day at Church. It went well except he ruined his first outfit with a major explosion and even got me a little bit. Good thing we had extra clothes for him and that my shirt was long enough to cover his "dirty" work! Today he made a new sound and he is really starting to show his personality.
I am taking pictures, but my camera will not load them. I am working on figuring it out. I think I need a new USB cable. If all else fails, I will load them on my parent's computer and do it from there.
