Loves lickin cookie dough- yep hes related to me:)

Well this is most likely my last post before Ollie joins us. The countdown has been going on forever...

I have so enjoyed being with my little man these last few weeks. I love Nolen so much and he is such a joy to have in our family. Gosh- I really don't know how we got so lucky. I love being his mom and have loved just having him around- just him, me and dada. But it is now time to add another joy to our lives...and we can't be more excited! Nolen is thrilled to meet his new baby brother- and keeps saying "baby" everytime he sees Ollie's clothes, swing, or carseat- he's ready!

We are all ready! any day now...

Christmas in Utah...

Christmas morning

LOVE this picture of Nolen and Will

Nolen started to tear apart his present from Santa as soon as he saw it

Nolen DISLIKED the cold and snow- hopefully next year...

Always had to be near his Papa:)

Owen and I decided to make a last minute trip to Utah for Christmas...and it is JUST what we needed! It was sooo nice to go home and be with family. We totally relaxed and enjoyed every minute. Nolen and his cousin Will are BEST FRIENDS. They were UNSEPERABLE! Nolen still wakes up saying "Wheel Wheel!" (Will Will) or "Papa! Nana??" Nolen also cant get enough of Papa and Nana...they spoil that boy a lot and he LOVES it:)

Congrats Owen!

Owen graduated with a bachelors in Human Development with and emphasis in Health Services!! Sooo proud of him:) Now on to the job hunt! To celebrate his HUGE accomplishment I had the help of many family members throw him a surprise party! Thank you for all who came and supported him! He was sooo happy to see everyone and enjoy another night with family:)

*Unfortunatly didnt get any pics of the man him self!

Dewey Family Christmas Party

Always so much fun to get together with this gang- food, gingerbread house making, food, laughing, white elephant gift exchange, food, kids in their jammies, food, good times!

Halloween...

Buzz had a BLAST trick-or-treating w/ his cousins Hallie and Kylie! He LOVED walkin around with his other cousin Laney- thought she was super cool. It was so fun to see him get excited and run to each house...even though he thought he was invited into each home as well...

Broken things to mend...

I watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWM4U6gnPE8&feature=share on this blog- www.patrickandashley.blogspot.com
Jefferey R. Holland is one of my favorite apostles- every time he speaks I feel so reasured that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. If you haven't checked out the above blog- do so. It is soooo inspiring. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to lose a child- and yet this video helps me understand that even the littlest of trials or discouragments can be brought to the Lord. No matter what is going on in our lives, the good and bad, we can always turn to our Father in Heaven and His Son for peace. We just need to keep our heads above the stormy water and TRUST in Him!
