It's about time

It has officially been forever since I posted last.  I was sick for soooo long.  After the stupid swine flu I got pneumonia, which really kicked my trash and I got a cracked rib to go with it because I was coughing so hard.  Who does that seriously... am I 90?  Anyhow, I am finally feeling better and I am so thankful.  Here are a few of the things that we've been up to.  

My mom took Baylor to Build-a-Bear.  He "chose" to make a dog who he named Puppy.  Literally.  I know you're thinking yeah right but he really did.  We sat down to name it at the computer and I asked him "what do you want to name him?" and he looked right at me and said "puppy"- it was plain as day, dead serious.   It was hilarious.  Up to that point he had never said it, but he does all the time now.  So he made puppy and dressed him in some Christmas jammies.  Good times.

ThAnKsGiViNg was great.   So much to be thankful for.

This is me waiting in line for our first West Jordan In-N-Out Burgers!!!  Quite the process, but so worth the wait.  Some might say it is overrated.  Russ and I would disagree.  We enjoyed every last fry and bite of cheeseburger.  Deeeelish.  I might also add that it is only a mile from our house.   I can pretty much taste it when I walk outside... not really, but I've been waiting for months for it to open :)

HEAVEN in West Jordan

My Grandma Zoma has the best Christmas tradition.  She has given me (and half the world population) an ornament every year since I was born.  It started as one ornament, then it became two, and now we get a BAG of ornaments and I LOVE IT!!!  Our tree is so great and it's fun to get them out every year and remember the memories from each one.  Baylor got to join in the fun this year.  He got his own bag!  I ended up buying him his own little tree.   He was so intrigued by all the little boxes I couldn't get him to look at me for ANYTHING.  

It was almost a mistake having him help me decorate his tree because up to that point, he had left our big tree alone.  After helping me, he realized what fun little things were hanging there and now he likes to go and "visit" his ornaments.

This is B's cute little tree.  We have 3 trees this year.  We're pretty darn festive at the Olsen house :)  It helps when your Grandma and Mom love ornaments... and even better love giving them to you!!!

We got to go to the Jazz game last week with Russ' parents.  Tons of fun and Baylor liked it.  He even slept through the 4th quarter!  I learned I can make a lot more noise after he goes to bed at night.  The Jazz wore their green throw back jerseys that night.  

B was lovin' this french fry.  Welcome to fried food Baylor, my bad.

Me and my sweet boy

And last but not least, this is my car on the drive to work.  Yes, it does say ZERO degrees and it felt like it.  It was sooooo cold all week.  So.....

We bundle up and keep on smiling.  

(Please notice Baylor's slippers.  Embroidered on the top are "flipper slippers"  I only wish they had them in my size)
