Caring Child
December 19, 2008
elizabeth is such a little care giver. i'm constantly finding dolls, stuffed animals, my little ponies, anything really placed at random places around the house either with a blanket tucked around them, or on a pillow. even most of her stuffed animals have diapers on them and she's always bringing them to me with a new diaper to change them, she's so smart :) she has one little baby doll and she takes extra care of her, it's very sweet to watch her be so caring, ryan and i must be doing something right.

It's a start...
December 6, 2008
we finally started putting up our christmas decoration! we still have quite a bit to do till it feels like christmas is around the corner...even though i'm well aware that it's coming and quickly! elizabeth was a big help but her favorite part was putting up the tree. after it was all done, ryan, her and sugar all took a nap. for those of you asking what the heck is on my cute dog sugar, yes i'm one of those people that like to put clothes on their dog :)

Ward Christmas Party
December 4, 2008
ryan had to work, but elizabeth and i went to our ward christmas party. i love our ward, it's full of so many amazing people. since i'm in the primary i have a pretty big fan base. the kids in the primary love to come up to me and say 'hi my singing teacher' and i get a lot of hugs. it's great, in my opinion, little children are the best way to learn about the gospel.
the kids were so excited when santa showed up, elizabeth didn't realize what was going on. i took her over to see him and she waited patiently, but when i put her on his lap she got very scared. her and i took a picture together to make it more comfortable for her. i love the spirit of christmas.

Thanksgiving Day
November 27 & 28, 2008
my parents realized a few years back if they celebrated thanksgiving on friday they wouldn't have to share their married children with the in-laws. ryan's family isn't to involved with us, so the taintor side gets more of our time.
my aunt barbara, my dad's youngest sister invited us to her home. it was so fun to see the taintor side. my cousin kalliann showed up with her new baby and my funny cousin steven made us laugh. we even broke the ping pong table out after dinner, and yeah i played and pretty good i might add. it was fun visiting with my grandma taintor and her sweetheart of a boyfriend keith, who is such a big part of our family.
afterwards, we headed over to our good friends the cleverly's and enjoyed some great pie. mary is a good little baker...she used the pumpkins that were on her porch. i'm just glad enjoying the pie didn't require me to bake anything, because yes everyone knows i'm not one that loves cookin' in the kitchen.
then on friday we stuffed ourselves with my dad and mom's wonderful cooking. i'm not kidding, i seriously had to ask holly to take my plate away from me cause otherwise i'd keep eating! we even invited the next door neighbors over that just moved in and it was fun getting to know them and their cute kids. they thought our family was quite interesting. although we missed adam, danielle and the kids, we knew they were having a good thanksgiving.
after visiting and laughing we ate pie and all relaxed while watching kungfu panda. i love making memories with my family we always manage to have a blast!

Trick or Treat
October 31, 2008
ryan and i weren't really planning on taking elizabeth trick or treating, because i thought she might still be to young to understand the concept. we were so wrong! she had such a great time! we took her through our neighborhood and then my parents and she was loving the fact that her purse was filling up with candy. she wouldn't let anyone hold her purse and when we did she'd say "my candy". she has always had a very wise and old spirit, but on Halloween it was even more apparent to me.
after we took her trick or treating we went and partied with our friends. we had such a good time! we went to the cleverly's home and then the garff's met us there as well. i got some cute pictures of quintin, brighton and ellie all together.
the kids had fun getting into all the candy. while the adults playing a lot of wii, which i learned how good at golf i truly am. it was a great Halloween!

Falling Leafs
October 31, 2008
our tree has been loosing some of it's leafs lately and elizabeth loves the leafs. every time she is out in the yard she brings a handful of them into the house with her. well this morning we went to take our dog out and most of the leafs on our trees had filled our yard during the night, elizabeth got so excited! she ran into the yard and stared throwing the leafs in the air. we all had a good time playing in the leafs together!

soñando con la abuela Alba
el 7 de octubre
Elizabeth duerme con su osito de peluche todas las noches.
i mostrar sus fotos de todos ustedes todos los días y en ella los puntos y sonrisas.
Estoy aprendiendo mucho en mi clase de español. la parte difícil que es recordar.
mi corazón se abrumado cuando pienso en cuánto tiempo he soñado que aquí Alba a mi casa y compartir mi vida con usted!
te quiero! todos ustedes en mi corazón.
no vamos a perder la esperanza, sé que nuestros sueños se harán realidad!
abrazos y besos
for those who don't know, i am currently in the process of bringing my birth mom alba here to the united states for a visit. she was denied her visa early september and we have high hopes that in january when we re-apply we will get our wish.
ryan, my dad and i are currently enrolled in a spanish class and i feel totally out of my comfort zone and feel like...i'm learning another language :)
haha..it's been fun though, we all laugh a lot during class cause when our teacher makes us talk to each other we tease that we sound like were stuck in a spanish prison and we don't know what the heck we are saying!
the teddy bear that ellie is sleeping with alba gave me as a gift when i went to costa rica when i was 18.
anyway for those who will go crazy if they don't know what i wrote, this translation is for you.
elizabeth sleeps with this teddy bear every night.
i show her pictures to her of all of you everyday and she points at them and smiles.
i'm learning much in my spanish class, the hard part is remembering it.
my heart gets overwhelmed when i think of how long i have dreamt to bring you here alba to my home and share my life with you.
i love you! you are all in my heart.
let us not loose hope, i know our dreams will come true.
hugs and kisses.
