New Addition to our family....

Meet Mango.......


Dave bought me a chihuahua for Valentines. It was definitely a surprise. He was so tiny he could stand up in this shoe box when it was closed. He is so big now!

Trying to get to know Mango right after I opened him. He wasn't a big fan of me the first few days. Since then he likes me more and I like him. :) I have never had a pet so I was unsure but it has been fun, I am surprised!

He likes sitting in our sweaters when he is cold or nervous.


J had to come meet Mango. He was pretty exciting and really cute with him. Mango was a little afraid of him...

Mango looking innocent.

The other morning we wrapped himself in my down comforter.

When I get home from work we usually take a nap.

Last night Mindy bought Mango his first sweater. We kind of matched ha ha. He looked so cute. He didn't love it but I think he will over time. :)

Vegas/New Years Eve/January!

On Christmas afternoon we drove to Vegas for a few days. We were going to go onto Disneyland but it seemed really crowded and I was really tired. :(
We stayed at Caesar's Palace. We ate yummy food, walked around, went to a Jerry Seinfield stand up show, and relaxed. It was a nice little get away.

Us at my favorite place :) I will stay there one day...

The cool flower display inside the Bellagio.

In front of the Venetian

The Venetian was decorated soooo pretty for Christmas! We loved it!!
I may love the Kardashian's....... They have a new store in Vegas so naturally we had to stop by.

We spent New Year's Eve in Logan with Nelli, Ashley, Venice and Leslie & Chris. We had dinner at Le Nonne and then played The Newlywed Game. It was a really fun night!

Over Christmas break we hung out with Caramie, Matt, Caylee, and Mike. It was so nice to hang out with them all again. We had dinner and played games.
Matt had a remote control helicopter and Dave fell in love with it. I guess he ordered one that night.... when it came Dave was a kid in a candy store. :)
Dave went to his first Jazz game. :) I have tried to get him to go but had no such luck. His work gave us free box seats and he couldn't say no. :) I had never been in a box seat, it was really nice. I could get used to that. ;)

Christmas

Reeder Christmas Party!
This year was fun as usual. My uncles put together a pinewood derby competition. A lot of the grand-kids made and painted cars. Dave and I bought a kit but that is as far as we got... :) It was a lot of fun to watch. My cousin Kimber's husband's was so high tech. He put nitro on his. It was so fun to see how creative everyone was. I have a pretty great family!

Jarrett was messing with one of my little cousins cars so my cousin gave him one of his cause he had two. Jarrett thought he was pretty cool and important ha ha.

J looking sweet and innocent....
Oakie and Mindy. Oaks is getting sooo big. :(

Def not the best picture of us but the only one of the night. Oops. I need to be better at taking pics.:)Everyone that participated in the derby.
The grand kids that did the nativity. J was a sheep. He may or may not have been well behaved...
White elephant gifts. We always have so much fun with this. There are usually a few really funny gifts and a few questionable gifts. :)
Pinatas of course! The uncles always try to steal our candy.

On Christmas Eve we went to my grams for dinner and games. We played Christmas family feud.
This is team Smiths

This is team Fitz. They were the big winners. Grams is still a big cheater!
We got new P.J.'s

For Christmas..
Dave got us a beautiful picture of the Logan temple! It turned out great. I was worried that it was too big and would look funny but he did a great job! :)


We had a nice Christmas. It was nice to spend some time with the Reeder's and relax at home. :)
