Savannah - Post Dentist

Savannah has had 4 cavities at the last 2 check ups she's had this year. So, today was filling day. They had to do a mini-root canal on her upper right back molar (yowza!) so they had to numb her up really good. She was so brave and didn't even move during the numbing procedure and hardly squirmed a bit during the entire filling process. The dentist and hygienist were so impressed. I HATE the dentist, and I have to say, she was a lot more brave than I would have been. She still has to have 4 more fillings done, but after an hour and a half of work, they figured she'd had enough for one day. The picture below is of her smiling as much as she could when we left the dentist because she was so numb. When she got home from school, she had chewed her right cheek (since she couldn't feel it) to the point where the right top of her lip was swollen all the way to the middle of her mouth. The numbing did not go away until the next morning. Poor thing.

IT'S A BOY!!!
We found out yesterday that we are finally going to have a little boy Moller to carry on the family name. YEAH! We are thrilled that everything looks good and that he is healthy. What a blessing! Guess it's time to start buying clothes for this little guy. And, we don't have a name so we would love suggestions! =)

Visit to San Diego (it's a long one)

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa


Seaport Village




Seal Beach in La Jolla

These are the pillows I made for each of my siblings and my parents. I personalized each one with their name, year they were married and a picture of the temple they were married in. It was my first time making this sort of pillow but I think they turned out pretty good. Everyone seemed to like them and that was the goal!

This one was for my parents.
This is the one I did for Krystal and Dan, and James and Leah.
This one was for Chad and Tricia.
Christmas Eve Traditions:

Luminaries

This is a new tradition we just started with our family to do the Nativity with the grandkids. They did so good and it was fun to watch them act their parts out and really get into it.
Caroling

The Bells!


Christmas Day
Grandma and Grandpa Humberstone
Our Family


Dobrons (minus Allison who was already in bed)

James and Family



Hangin' with the Dobrons

I went with my sister to her 12 week prenatal appointment. It was a little emotional b/c my sister hadn't been feeling pregnancy symptoms for a few weeks and had a feeling things weren't going well. When the OB came in and tried to find the heartbeat, she couldn't. So, she said she'd do an ultrasound. As my sister and I waited for the ultrasound, she pretty much figured it was over and was talking about who she would need to tell that she wasn't pregnant anymore before news spread that she was. There was a bowl of hershey kisses in the room, so we ate a few to make us feel better about the potential bad news. When the ultrasound began, we saw the baby, which was expected since she hadn't miscarried. Then, we saw the heartbeat...and it was strong! Krystal gave a sigh of relief, as did I. I'm so glad I was there with her! After the OB left, we had another piece of chocolate, this time, to celebrate!


This is my nephew, Cole (who is 6 weeks younger than Holly) and Holly side by side. We have the two extremes here...Cole is on the tall side of average and Holly is on the very petite side of average. I think she measured in at just below the 3rd percentile at her 2 year appointment. Pretty crazy difference in height, eh!?!


"Unkie Dough" and Allison




Playin' Rock Band! The kids had a blast.

We did manage to get to the beach to actually play in the sand one day while we were there, but it was in the evening near sunset and got cold pretty quick. But, we had to take the girls at least once. They had so much fun in the sand. =)


Baby Weston's Blessing Day

My mom has started a tradition of making all her grandkids blessing outfits. Every baby has their own. She does a really nice job making every one unique and it's a sweet labor of love from grandma. =) Here she is putting on Weston's blessing outfit.
Kind of funny, my Mom and Aunt Merrilee showed up to church in nearly the same outfit. HA!
I had to get a picture of them together.
Merrilee was sporting her new short hairdo, way cute!


We had a wonderful lunch at the Eddington's and afterward, Uncle James took all the kids on a golf cart ride around their property. They all got quite a kick out of that!

Out with the Humberstones

Cameron would not leave Savannah's side any time they were together. It was so cute to watch him follow her around and want to be right where she was at all times. Cute cousins!
