Yeah it was Nelyana's first day at nursery. She still has a month till she is 18 months but hey whatever!! At first she wasn't to sure about it, but then she started to play and that is when I left. She did great the hole time and was so excited when daddy picked her up. I think mom and dad were more worried about it than she was. Between chris and me we went and checked on her every now and then. And every time she was happy playing with the other girls. She is such an easy going baby!! We got lucky!!

These pictures were just taken the first part of December!! Thanks to Amber S. (A Blue Iris) she does an amazing job!! It was funny Amber would wissle to get her attention and then nelyana would try and do the samething. It was so funny!!

NELYANA TIME!!
This little girls is one funny girl!! We are sure lucky parents to have her!! It is so fun to see her grow and get her own personality. She is now 17 months and it has gone by fast. There is never a duel moment with her. Today we making breakfast and she was taking all the magnets of the fridge and chucking them and screaming it was so funny so then Chris then said to her "nelyana what is wrong with you?" She then sat down by the fridge and put her hands in her lap and looked up at chris and HUMM??? Like she was trying to figure that out her self it was so funny!!!

So moving on from Thanksgiving to Christmas. We went to Minnesota for Christmas and had alot of fun. everyone was there and let me tell you 14 people in one house, and with our family history of loving one another it went really well. I think this was the first Christmas we have ever had were there was no fighting. It was amazing!!!!! Props to all my family!! It was really cold there and we enjoyed staying inside and having family fun!!! Nelyana enjoyed playing with all the animals at Grandma's and Grandpa's!!! Just along in the house we has 1 big bird, 1 squirrel, 2 dogs (every night cause it was cold outside) and 1 other dog harmony(this is Heidi and Caleb's dog and she was fun and full of to much energy can we say Prozac) love you!!! Nelyana had fun Christmas morning! She was more interested in playing with the toys than opening.

This was all taken during Thanksgiving. Chris's dad (Chris Brinagh SR) came out and visited with us for a week. We really enjoyed the time we had with him while he was here. Nelyana had a great time with him and I think that made his visit that much more enjoyable.

Yesterday after I got off work, we went home and I started to fix dinner. So I put her in her high chair and she had some cheese and crackers and some meat and the next thing I know she is sleeping in her chair!!

Here is some more fun pictures at the park!!

I know your all saying its about time we see Halloween pictures!! She was Tigger as you can tell. And yes for our ward party I dressed up as sponge bob square pants!! Don't hate!!! She had a fun time at our ward party and she also won the Award for the cutest cos tum for ages 0-1. That's my girl!! The party was Thursday, and then Halloween night we went and cheered for PV they had a game that night! Which they won!! After the game we went to two houses (Tammy's and one of Chris's kids that he coaches) and from those 2 places she walked away with her bucket full!

Fun at the Park. This is the fist time she went down by herself.
She loves going to the park and spending time outside!!

first cake I made her a Mickey Mouse Cake! Yes if you can believe it
I was a little domestic and made that amazing looking cake but not to brag
or anything!!! I will admit we bought the other cake. She had a fun time with
cake but I did not enjoy cleaning it up!! It was a little windy at first but it dyed
down and we were able to enjoy everyones company!!

Grandma and Grandpa bought me a cabbage patch doll for
my 1st birthday!! I love my doll and her name is Eva Tillie thats
the name she came with. The bottom two pictures are just for

Our little bundle of JOY and LAUGHS and ATTITUDE and
DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL and LOTS OF
LOVE FOR EVERYONE!!!

Okay so this is a funny story but not to Chris........ Once upon a time there was a young man who LOVED shoes!! He had collected them over years and loved every single one!! They ranged from Air Jordon's, to Air Force One and ect. Lets just say most of them were still in the box looking new. It was taking up all our closet space. So one Saturday his mean old wife asked him to clean the closet and by his own free will he decided to depart with the shoes because his feet have grown most of the shoes he had were size 10- 10 1/2 and he is now a 11. So if he did wear them they hurt his feet. So now as you can tell it was hard for him to depart with them. I almost thought he was going to cry. As a loving and supportive wife i held the bag open for him as he cry'ed over each pair, lets just say 2 garbage bags later his feelings were feeling bad. I tryed not to laugh but it was a funny thing!! MY poor hubby has lost his shoes and doesn't know what to do!!!!

So I am the 2nd counselor in Young Woman's and I get to take Nelyana with me every week the girls love playing with her and so does Sister Robinson she usually takes her and goes and plays in the sink in the kitchen she loves it (both of them) As you can tell we went ice blocking one week and nelyana went with me least to say we crashed and burned but she was okay I wrapped myself around her. She has so much fun she wanted to do it again. Daddy was not to happy to hear that!! We sure have fun with the young woman and I love learning from them and love my calling!!!
