Our Baby Boy

I have not posted many pictures of ziggy on our blog. A dog is something I could never live without, they make life so much better. Ziggster is our pride and joy!

A Night in Park City

Michaels cousin Lisa and her husband Chris invited us up to Park City to stay overnight at his parents condo. We went to dinner at Ciseros on the main. It's excellent italian food if you've never been. After that we went back to the condo and hung out. It was so fun to get away, and we both slept like babies that night. We decided we need to get a mattress like the one up there. Thanks again you guys, we wish you lived closer so we could get together more often!

Christmas at the Ridds

Christmas afternoon we hung out at my family's house. The best part was watching the boys open their presents. Morgan didn't like one of his presents and told my mom that he hated his present! Kids are a bit too honest, but it's hilarious. We had a wonderful time sitting around, eating dinner and playing games. Christmas is the best.

Candy House!

The boys and I decided to make a Gingerbread house. We had a blast! I couldn't believe that it occupied their attention for literally one hour. Amazing. They also had fun eating the candy, isn't that the best part though?

Christmas Card

Well, Michael and I wanted to send out a Christmas Card this year. Only problem, we didn't have a picture and it was a week before Christmas. So... we attempted to take our own picture with Ziggy, it took us a few tries. :)

Back to Blogging

I have not blogged for quite some time due to an unexpected family incident and busy, busy holiday... but I'm finally back and going to fill you in on our lives.

Back in November, Michael and I went on a trip with all of his family to Cabo San Lucas. It was so much fun. All the boys tried skim boarding on the beach, we swam in the ocean, laid in the sun, played many games of Shanghai, and just enjoyed each others company. It was so fun to see Marci and Dan(Michael's sister & her husband). We don't get to see them very often, and it was great to be able to spend some time with them. It was such a relaxing trip with so many smiles and laughs, we loved every minute of it!

Michael and I returned from Cabo a couple days after Thanksgiving to find my brother in a coma at the Intensive Care Unit at University Hospital. He had an infection in his brain, and it was almost for sure that he wouldn't make it. Miraculously though, he is doing better than we ever could have imagined. He had some temporary paralysis, but the movement has completely come back in both his legs and in one arm so far. He even walked clear to Starbucks (in the hospital) and back the other day! He is doing wonderfully and our family is so greatful for those of you whose prayers and deep concern got us through this trying time.
