08 Christmas & Jan 09 visit to Montana

My Cuz Nelle with her sweet baby Allie.
This was the weekend of her blessing but
the weather was very bad for both parents
to drive so I just got to visit. It was so much
fun. She is a beautiful baby. Nelle and Justin
are super parents :)

SLEEPY TIME! I was so tired by the
time I got there. I think I fell asleep a
few times while visiting. I worked the
night before and went straight to the
airport and flew to SLC and ended up
having a 3 hour delay because of the
snow storm in Great Falls.
Nelle felt bad cause the
blessing was cancelled but I still
wanted to come if the flight was
going to happen. Well, I finally got
to Montana and let me tell you it was
not just chilly, it was FREEZING. I
couldn't believe it. I stepped outside
the airport doors to see if my ride was
there and went right back in. I thought
to myself, I should have dressed like an
eskimo.

It was so cold that the ground made cracking
noises when you walked or drove on it. I was
scared to drive because the road was just ICE.
Needless to say a person would have to get
very used to driving in those conditions and
I was not. I am used to driving in snow but not
when it is below zero degrees and everything
is frozen. Allie is wearing pink scrubs-CUTE!

Anyway, as you can see it was so worth
it because she is such a CUTIE. As the
shirt says, "My heart belongs to DADDY"

Don't ya just love her, look at that smile!

" If you think I'm cute you should
see my mommy! " SO TRUE :)



Such a good sleeper, all bundled up
from shopping!



Such CUTIES, (except for the CRAZY
HAIR). Ya, perm that didn't go too
well.


Sharon and her many cute FACES!



Aaron- THE COOL DUDE!

Haleigh looks beautiful in her new
