We had such a great Christmas this year! We stayed the night at my Dad's house Christmas Eve, & then spent the whole day at their house. We weren't planning on that, but we did get snowed in there! Nash was so cute the whole day & loved seeing everyone & of course the presents!!

Nash with his Dad!

He got a John Deere tractor that he can drive! He loved it!

Nash & Mom...just crawled out of bed to open presents!!

And of course my little dare devil had to stand on the tractor!

Showing his new toy to his best bud!

At the end of the day we played games & had a chocolate fondue party! From L to R: step sister Kaylee, niece Kylee, Step Sis Kasey, Me, Nash, niece Kinlee, & behind sis Cass, & niece Kenady!

After it was all said & done the kids got a bath & in their PJs.

It was so great to be with our family & enjoy the day! It seems that sometimes at Christmas we all get so wrapped up in the gifts & money & I feel like we get distracted from the true meaning of Christmas. I have thought a lot about it today, & when I truly look around at my family who I love so much, how could I not be so thankful to my Savior for all he has given me. He came to this earth, had such a humble birth, lived his life as the perfect example, & then gave us the greatest gift of all, his life. He is real, I know that & I am blessed to feel his love often. How thankful I am for His birth & life! Merry Christmas to everyone. We truly love you all!

Is it the age or just a BOY!

Nash has found the candy drawer in our house! The other day I walked down stairs to find him with a whole bag of M&Ms dumped on the floor. He was just stuffing his little face too! This shouldn't come as much of a suprise to me, considering his last name is Randall! I have never in my life seen anyone eat as much candy as Justin. This is inherited from his father & older sisters too. Looks like Nash is filling the footsteps!

Here he is shoving the chocolate in!

Happy as can be!

At least the kids shares...right?!

This pic is so funny! After he ate about 30 M&Ms he was bouncing off the walls. He then went & kicked back in his little leather chair!

And then.... the next day I had just given him a bath & while I was getting dressed he went down stairs. Couldn't have been more than 10 min. Well when I walked down he had all the candy dumped out from the drawer! He was covered in chocolate & helping himself to a sucker!!

Even though it's naughty, I can't help but laugh! And you have to admit he does look pretty cute! Like Father Like Son!

TWILIGHT...FINALLY

So I NEVER thought I would read the Twilight books, I mean come on they are about Vampires! Well after hearing so much about them I read them & I LOVED them. I've been waiting for the movie to come out, but I thought I would prob wait a week or two to go because I knew it would be packed. Well lastnight my friend Dana called me & asked me if I wanted to go to the midnight premiere with her & her sisters & sis in laws. So we all met at her house around 11 & loaded up. It was a blast! I loved the movie. However, I think that if you didn't read the books first you wouldn't love the movie as much. I'm a life long Twilight/ Edward & Bella fan though!

Here's all of us looking kinda tired! Starting in the back L to R, Jessica, Dana, Me, Charity, Anja, & Lisa!

Word just couldn't even explain how packed it was! There were 300 people & people were waiting at the doors at 10! By the time we got there we had to walk thru every theater to find a seat!

Dana, Me, & Jessica. We almost peed our pants laughing about the "good ol' times. We've had a lot of them too!

Charity, Anja, & Lisa! Charity & Anja almost baught tickets to the premiere in LA, $9,000 for 4 tickets!!

Me & Dana! Dana is my very best friend & a life long one too. She is one of those friends that you can always just pick up where you left off. I consider her & her family, my family too. We have so many great memories together (most with Jessica too). It's crazy to think that we are both Moms now, but I know that no matter where life takes either of us we will always be great friends! I was so glad we all got to go together to Twilight!

The Day after Halloween, my Dad & Julie had a big bash at their house. Nash was a chicken the day of Halloween & he hated the suit. So for the party he was a little John Deere Cowboy! He was so cute & the party was a blast!

Me & my cousin Krystal...we are both princesses I just have my crown on!

Justin dressed to match Nash & I was a Princess!!!

Me & my little cowboy Nash!

Nash & Dad!

Lovin' the pearls!

Nash & his cousin Kenna! He was Halloweened OUT!

TAGGED!

My sis in law Amy tagged me & this one looked like fun. It really made me smile to think about some of this stuff! Some it may be suprising too...but here goes!

1.His full name: Justin Grant Randall
2. How long have you been married: 2 1/2 yrs (Feb. 11)
3.How long did we date: Well when I wa 15 (yes that's right) Justin saw me at Wendy's one day at lunch and he fell in love. He called me & his lil' sis & her friends would come tell me all the time how much he liked me. We talked off & on & MAYBE a little smooching here & there. We didn't date seriouse though until I 17 & we dated from then till we got married. So 3 yrs steady.
4.Who eats sweets: It's the Randall curse... Justin!
5.Who said I love you first: Justin
6.Who's taller: He would like to say he is, but we are about eye level!
7.Who sings better: Me or course... ha ha, Definately Justin, he makes fun of my singing!
8.Who is smarter: hummm... probably Justin
9.Who does the laundry: Everyone who ever came to Justin's house before we were married knows he doesn't do it! I DO the laundry!
10.Who pays the bills: Sugar Daddy!! ummm yeah Justin does!


11.Who sleeps on the right side of the bed: Me
12.Who mows the lawn: Our nephew Jack!
13.Who cooks dinner: If it's mac & cheese Justin. I'm the cook of the house.
14.Who drives: Usually Justin, he hates my driving!
15.Who admits when they're wrong first: We are both very strong willed. I think it's pretty even, we both know when to say sorry.
16.Who kissed who first: Justin totally kissed me first. I was 15 & he was 19. So I was a little timid. My parents would have killed me if they knew that!
17.Who asked who out first: Justin asked me out first. When I was finally old enough to date he took me to Jakers & when we got there, there were roses on the table. I didn't say anything & finally I asked " are those for me?" He said "no they just put flowers on random tables!" I didn't quite catch the sarcasm & so I threw them away!! Justin still teases me about that!
18.Who wears the pants: Like I said, we are both very bull headed, so it's about even. I would never let Justin catch me saying that though! However, I must admit he usually gives in & I get my way!
I have to say, I truely love Justin. He is such a good person & really has so many great qualities, that I obviously adore. Not to mention he is quite hansome. This might be suprising, but when I was 15 I actually wrote in my journal that I thought "for some wierd reason" that I would marry Justin. I really did always know that. Crazy I know...but that's love! LUFF ya JUST!

I'm tagging Krystal, Hillary, & Alisa

P-A-R-T-Y

On Nash's birthday we had all our family come over for a little birthday party! In my family birthdays are a big deal, we always have a big party & lots of other special things to make the day fun. I'm hoping to pass that on to my own kids! Here's a small portion of the million pics I took!

I loved giving Nash a cupcake & letting him go to town.

Who looks that cute with chocolate all over their face!?

Playing with his new presents!

My Dad got Nash a John Deere wagon & he loved it. Izy wanted in too!

Nash, Sloanie, & Kash ridin' in the wagon!

This is what me & Just got Nash. He loves to "drive" in our cars, so we knew he would love this.

Everyone had to have a turn!

This is the only pic of me & Nash the whole day! It was such a fun birthday & we were glad that everyone came!

Time Flies!

Today is Nash's 1st birthday! The pic above is of him 1 year ago at the hospital. I remember having him like it was yesterday. He was such a sweet little baby & has braught us so much joy. I will never forget when I had him & when they put him up on my chest for me to hold him the first time, he had the biggest eyes & was looking right at me. He knew I was his mom & I knew him too. Nash has been such a delight to us & we just never knew a love like we have for him!

And this is Nash today! Time sure does fly! I have been able to just really enjoy him this last year though, & I'm so thankful for that. He is a very busy boy & keeps us on the go. It's been so fun to watch him grow. I have to admit it is kinda sad too because it goes by way too fast. We love our Nnnasharoni!

Seattle...shop till ya drop!

Shopping bags in hand, Downtown Seattle! L to R, Hillary & Amy (justin's 2 sisters), Alisa (married to Just's bro Vaughn), Me, Debbie (mother in-law).

This was our deliciouse $200 dinner at the Space Needle! I really wanted everyone to go there & it ended up being not so great!! Sorry guys! At least the view was great!

Debbie took all of us to Phantom of the Opera. It was amazing. I loved it & Alisa even cried!

My beautiful 2 sis in laws, getting ready for Phantom. SING FOR ME! I still have those songs stuck in my head!

This was our last day in Seattle. We had such a great time! We shopped until the last second we were there. I am a crazy shopper, but I must admit that I got shopped out! Debbie did so many nice things for us all to make sure that our trip was unforgetable & it really was! I enjoyed everything, but mostly it was just nice to be with my sweet in-laws & get to know & love them even more than I already did! I loved Seattle ...untill next time!

Our little Family

WE just recently took family pic with Justin's family. They turned out so cute! They were our first family pics too. Here are some of my favs!

My smile is huge because of all the people dancing & singing behind the camera trying to get Nash to smile! He smiled so cute in these pics though!

You can see where Nash gets his good looks!

Here's the whole family! Pretty good looking 'ey?
