Now, that the new year has started I have not had a lot of time to blog but I wanted to just catch up on what has happened in Tanner's and my life. January was such a blur. Tanner started school again and is not particularly loving it. I have just been working. Emari celebrated her first birthday. We had a nice family dinner for Jace's birthday and Tanner's mom's birthday.We went to the auto show at the South Towne Expo Center. It was very cold for weeks. Below 25 degrees most days. We went to BYU basketball games. Thanks Dad! I babysat Emari and watched her play the piano. 


Here are some pictures of our life this last month. 

My parents neighbor built a GIANT snowman. 

It was very cold!!

The snow and salt on the road made the Mazda Tanner drives look like it has faded paint job.

Tanner and I as we opened up the huge trunk had the same thought of, " I should get in there."

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! We had a lot of fun getting to spend time with Tanner's side of the family during the super bowl. 




This is just a cute picture of Emari. We maybe love her a lot and have just as many pictures and videos of her as we do ourselves. She is just so dang cute. 


It was a good month and we are looking forward to the rest of February and all that it will bring us.

The Holidays Part 5 of 5 ( Finally!)


HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE and DAY!!

The last Holiday we have is New Years Eve/ Day! My Woolley family does it big. We start with bowling at the BYU bowling alley. It was off to my Grandparents house for board games, video games, outside games, talking, FOOD and FOOD and more FOOD. We always have a lot of fun waiting for midnight and then going outside and banging pots and pans, blowing horns and just making noise. It is the best. Then we play games for an hour or so more. Finally it is time to go to sleep.

Tanner was the one taking the pictures and we did not end up getting one of him :( 


New Years Day!

We woke up and ate our waffles. Play more games, do puzzles and so much more. Tanner was not feeling very good this year so we left a little earlier in the day but we got home and got to spend so good time with each other and watch Brave! 

The Holidays Part 4 or 5

CHRISTMAS!!
Christmas Eve we went to my Grandma Taylor's and I got to see most of my cousins from that side of the family and its always good to see that side of my family. Then we left and headed up to Tanner's Grandma and Grandpa Haw's. They are such a cute and funny couple and it was even better to see cousins there that we don't get to see often. I really enjoyed getting to meet Amber. She is such a talented and beautiful girl. Then all of her brothers who are adorable and hilarious!  We got to read stories and sing songs at both homes and be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas! 
Christmas! I love Christmas but man it is a little bit of a stressful Holiday for me. I try my best to not feel that way but I cannot help it with the number of houses we need to get to so that we can spend the Holiday with family. It starts with Tanner and I having our own Christmas at home ( That is my favorite part, we spoil each other), then to my parents house ( loving that they live close!!), Grandma Taylor is next ( We try to get to her house because she is such a wonderful lady and loves the quality time we get with her, even when she is sick on Christmas.) From there it is up to Sandy for Tanner's parents house (they are such a fun loving family and getting to be together.)We left there after a few hours and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Nilsson's house. There we have our call with Andrew. ( I love getting the call from Andrew, he is one of my very best friends.) After eating dinner quickly there we head to Provo for our last stop of the day at my Grandma and Grandpa Woolley's which is nice to end at because it is nice to sit and relax but have the option to play games, eat, talk or do whatever you want. Finally at 11 pm we are finally ready to go home and sleep or unpack everything we received. It was way to much and we feel very blessed with everything that we received. 
The Holidays are wonderful and a time we get to see our family more often then just during the normal year.
