Since I haven't updated this since January I will do a quick photo shoot to catch up the year...in no particular order (I'm too lazy to put them in order. Yes, it's pathetic.).<br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary has been really funny ever since we've had our Christmas decorations up. She keeps saying, "Thank you for Christmas!" and then she'll run over and give us big hugs and kisses. She loves all the decorations and "Santa lights" she sees when we drive around. It's so fun to see her get so excited. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We've never had a topper on our Christmas tree and I've always wanted one, but haven't been able to find a star that I really like. Well, this year I got a band saw for Christmas and decided to make a star. So, Mary helped my paint it white and had a great time doing it! I think it turned out pretty good.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> She loves her horse that she got last Christmas. She's very sweet with it and takes good care of it. One day I couldn't see or hear Mary - which is usually pretty scary - but when I found her she was kneeling next to her horse petting it and talking quietly to him. It was a very sweet. Then she gave his a kiss and moved on to her next toy. She is a very sweet little girl.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> For Christmas my parents made Mary a doll bed. We thought she was old enough and with the little sibling on it's way it might be fun for her to have. She promptly took the babies clothes off and put her back in bed. For those of you who don't know, Mary refuses to wear pajamas of any kind. She thinks she will be warmer without them. So, I'm sure she was thinking the baby would be the same. I kept trying to put the clothes back on, but she would just take them off again. She sleeps with that doll bed next to her bed every night and we're never sure which of her "friends" will be sleeping in it.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mary finally got a hair cut...sniff sniff. I was sad to see her baby curls go, but it's much easier to brush her hair and really she looks cute no matter what.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jake had some work in Utah to do a week before Thanksgiving so we were able to go with him and spend some time with my family. I mainly hung out on the couch trying not to throw-up, but it was still fun. I was able to help my mom make her gingerbread house this year. It was really fun.</span></div>

She NEVER falls asleep on the couch...I think we wore her out.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They had some fun activities there. Mary got to decorate her own cookie. She was more interested in eating the decorations then actually getting them on the cookie, but it was still fun.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So we are finally at August! YAY!!! Hopefully I can do some normal updates after this...hopefully!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A week after girls camp we went back to Utah to spend some quality time with my parents. We're usually not there for very long. So, we decided to take a real vacation with them. We get there Sunday afternoon and we plan out our week. Monday rolls around and we're waiting for my dad to get back from dropping off my niece at home when my mom gets a call from my dad. All I hear is "Are you okay?!?", "The trailer, you need the trailer?"..."Are you okay?!? What happened?!?"..."The trailer for your motorcycle? Okay, we'll be right there! Are you sure you're okay?!!!!!"..."Jake, yes he's here. Yes, the trailer.".... Needless to say my ears pricked up and I wondered what was going on. So, my wonderful mother, gets off the phone in a bit of a panic and starts talking in code, but we learned that my dad was in some sort of motorcycle accident and that he needed the trailer. So Jake went with my mom and I stayed at home wondering what was going on. I get a call about 10 minutes later and dad needs to go to the doctor. It was quite the afternoon...long story short...Dad laid down his motorcycle to avoid hitting the lady who turned out in front of him cutting him off. He, luckily (he doesn't usually), was wearing his helmet, slammed his shoulder into the pavement, rolled three times and then came to a stop. After 8 hours of going to his doc and then the ER we learned he had bruised his shoulder really well - he was in A LOT of pain, and only scrapped up his elbow, knee and hand. He was one blessed old man (sorry dad, but you are in your 60's!). He was kind of out of it for the next week. It was sad that we didn't get to do all the things we wanted to do with him, but we're glad he was okay!</span></div>

Jake's family wanted to do a family trip before Kaden graduated and went off the college and then a mission. It was really fun! I'd never heard of Silver Dollar City before this trip. It was a great family amusement park. Mary had a BLAST!!! I was a little worried about how she'd do and we had our moments, but for the most part she was great! I love my little girl!</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">May was a pretty normal month for us, which was nice. The weather was beautiful and we had some good times!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">One of the highlights of May was Jake's brother, Kaden, graduated from high school! YAY! That was fun celebrating that. Jake's grandparents came down to celebrate with the family. While they were here we took a little day trip to Pike National Forest. Jake LOVES going down there in the Jeep!!! We had a great time.</span></div>

A lot has happened since April, go figure. But don't worry, I'm not going to put it all in one post. So we'll start with the rest of April and go from there...</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;">In April we got to go babysit my 4 nephews while my sister and brother-in-law ran away for a while...They didn't technically run away, they went to Boston so my crazy-runner of a brother-in-law could run the Boston Marathon. (Side note: he had finished and left before any of the bombings happened.) Mary had a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!! She LOVES her cousins!!! And they are ridiculously cute with her.</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">Jake has been looking all over for a way to lift the top off our Jeep because I'm a weakling and can't do it very well. So he did his research and cam up with this plan and built one himself. It works really well and only takes about 5 minutes to take the top up and down. He's rather proud of himself and he should. I'm happy that it cost less than $50! All the ones online are selling for $200+.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So we were all sick on Easter so we didn't go to church so Mary didn't wear her Easter dress that day. Hopefully this Sunday she can wear it! But she was super cute anyway so we took some pictures! We went over to the Beckstead's for dinner and an Easter egg hunt that Mary thought was so fun!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">The other day she woke up wanting pancakes. So I said I'd make her some, but she said "No! Daddy make pancake!" Well then, okay by me! Jake tried to persuade her to have me do it, but that was a no go. She wanted her Daddy to make her pancakes and would not have it any other way. It was really funny!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">So we have been trying to make the TV area look nicer so we got this TV stand for all the components that we have. When Jake got home he started moving the components in, but he had a hard time seeing behind the receiver so I got him a couple flashlights. Mary thought she would be helpful and hold one of the flashlights for Daddy. She stayed there for about 10 minutes (on and off) helping Jake. It was super cute and Jake said that it was helpful!</span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So I decided to do a quick Mary update. She is doing AMAZING!!! She is healthy, happy and so much fun!!! She's also stubborn, independent and bossy - but we love her anyway! She still loves being outside and wants to stay at the park ALL DAY! She loves playing with her friends and tries hard to make friends. She know more words than I can count and is our constant parrot, copying everything we say and do. She is very helpful and loves to help us with whatever she can. She loves spicy foods and Wreck it Ralph - she is very much a little Jake. </span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So we go to story time almost every week. This is the first week that she actually sat on the rug for some of it. (We've been going for about 3-4 months now.) All she wanted was friends. She kept hugging the girl to the left of Mary and I think it freaked the girl out. So I told Mary she could only hug people she knew, like me. She was so sad. She almost cried and came and sat on my lap. It was the saddest thing ever. She just wanted to be sweet and nice and give hugs. I love how Mary is just so sweet and loving! She gives really good hugs!!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">She had her two year Dr check-up this week too and is doing awesome! She's now in the 75% for height and still in the 45% for weight. She's our tall skinny girl!</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We LOVE having Mary in our little family! She is so fun and silly!!! We feel very blessed that she is growing and developing well. She's been talking and learning so many things. She gets into EVERYTHING, but it can be pretty hard to get upset at her. We love her so much! We can't wait to see what she'll do next!</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />So this last month has been fun getting ready for Christmas and what not. Mary keeps growing and is so fun to be around - most of the time. She is learning to put words together which is really fun for us! She'll say "bye-bye Daddy" and "thank you Mom". She is saying so much it's awesome!!! She has also started to use her imagination and play pretend. She'll have us go night-night so she can wake us up with a kiss. The first picture on the left is of her putting her puppy to sleep with a blanket. She said "night-night" and then walked away. She's so funny! Mary has turned into a popcorn fanatic! "Pop-pop?! Pop-pop please!!!" I hear this at least once a day. </span></div>

He didn't want a cake, he wanted white chocolate chip macadamian nut cookies. So that's what I made. And the only candle I could find was Mary's number 1 candle. Oh well, at least he got to blow something out, right???</span></div>

But I didn't get Bells that hang on the door and she's having a great time with those.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At the beginning of December we were all sitting around one Saturday relaxing when Mary got up and said "Eee-aawww. Eee-aaww." (Which means airplane because that's the noise they make.) So we asked her where her plane was and if she wanted to play with it. Instead of finding her airplane she grabbed her shoes and brought them over to us and said "Eee-aawww car shoes eee-aawww shoes car." So we asked if she wanted to go in the car to see the airplanes and we got a VERY enthusiastic "YEAH!" So we piled in the car and went to the airport where she had a blast for about an hour or so. It was really fun for us to see her communicate her wants successfully! She is growing SOOOO much! The last picture was us driving to see the 'eee-aawwws' with the top off because it was a pretty warm day...70ish I think. That's the last day this year we drove with the top off! It was a great day!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mary got her very own cookie at the Beckstead's. She didn't eat it all, so I was a nice Mom and finished it for her :D She was very content to sit on her Dad's lap and eat. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mary has a love/hate relationship with bows. Somedays she wants ALL her bows in her head - as you can see by the left pictures. And then somedays she will run for her life if I come at her with a bow. She's so funny. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The right picture is her "helping" me with laundry. She thinks the basket is her own play toy. She usually turns it over and slides across it on her belly going "wwweeeeeeeee". It's really funny to watch.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mary has gotten into playing the piano lately. She usually only does it when Jake is around, but lately she has started to run over and play it during the day. I'm so glad she loves music. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mary is not a huge fan of riding in the front seat of a shopping cart. No, instead she has to weasel her way onto the bottom part and just holds on for dear life. When she gets tired she whines and I have to get her off. It doesn't make for a very fast shopping trip.</span></div>

She use to go up there all the time in college to go dancing. </span></div>

They are always so nice to have us. Mary slept REALLY well at their house (until 9:45 am!!!). And had a fun time with Gma and Gpa. Gma was trying to take a picture of Mary, but Mary knew what a camera was and wanted to see the pictures on the back...little stinker!</span></div>

We went back to Pike National Forest and had a pretty good time. There were only a few downsides - we forgot a lighter for the stove and the Kirby's forgot a can opener so the boys were gone for almost 3 hours getting those. Mary didn't take an afternoon nap. Then when bedtime came it took her a little while, but she went down. But then when Jake and I went to bed she woke up and wouldn't go down. So at about 1:30 a.m. Jake realized his air mattress was leaking and he was laying on the ground. So he decided to go to the car and took Mary with him. Well Mary got some sleep by sleeping on Jake and Jake didn't get any. I got about 2-3 hours of sleep. It was not the funnest night we've ever had. There is only more thing that happened, but I need the pictures for that so stay tuned...</span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So Jake and Paul decided to go play with the Jeep a little more with its offroad capabilities. So they left us girls...again. Well about 15 minutes later I look up and see Paul walking down the road towards us. Turns out Jake got the Jeep stuck and so Paul went to get his car to help him out. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So at the top they have these world famous donuts because it's so hard to cook at 14,000 feet. Well, I LOVE donuts so we decided to go and try them. I was a bit disappointed. First they were ridiculously expensive for what you got. Then there was plain, plain with chocolate or plain with white fudge. The ones that weren't plain were $2, not going to happen! So we got the plain ones and they weren't that good. But at least we can say we got some!</span></div>

<br />
Jake got a new baby this last month which he absolutely loves and adores! We've been looking to switch out our old Jeep due to gas and other issues. So, one Saturday we go down to the dealership just to look at a Rubicon. Jake has been DYING to have one and wanted me to test drive it and see what I thought. Well we went down just to test drive it...or so we thought. We walked out with this great looking Rubicon. We love it! It's really fun to drive! The first week we had it we went down to Pike National Forest and did some off-roading.<br />
