Early Valentines

Cody came home from work a few weeks ago grinning from ear to ear. I asked him what was going on and he excitedly told me he figured out that day what he was getting me for Valentines Day.  Of course he wouldn't tell me any more than that.  So i waited a few weeks, and on Feb 11th my present arrived.  Being as excited as he was to give it to me, and I to find out what it was we celebrated Valentines that day when he got home from work.  And... here it is!

Cody designed and had made this beautiful ring with our birthstones as the gems and little diamonds on the sides!

He even had our names inscribed in the inside of the band. Too cute!

Oh, how i love my sweet husband!

For his valentine gift I put together a movie night box for us, with some movies I thought he would enjoy and some i knew he wanted to see. As a sidenote, The Quick And The Dead is actually a really good movie!

Seth Brandon Hatch

My first nephew, Seth Brandon Hatch decided to come about three weeks early. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing well.

My brother-in-law, Brandon Hatch, the father and name-sake :)

I wanted to be there so badly to see this little angel.  I'm so excited for my sister and her husband, and can't wait for them to bring more into the world.

Zoe pyper Hamilton

My third beautiful niece, Zoe Pyper Hamilton was born yesterday!

Cody and I had to wear these face masks in the hospital because we both were recovering from colds.

Most of Cody's siblings came up from Cedar City to see her. It was fun to have the family for a few days.

Cow Nails

I found a picture of some cow-face finger nails on pinterest and my little sister loves cows.  So when she came to Utah for Christmas I painted her nails.  Mine wern't as cute as the pictures, but it's harder to do than it looks.

What to write in wet cement.

The other day my little sister Mckenzie shoved her face into the snow on someone's car, and left a funny little face print!

 

If you look at it from one angle it looks like the face is coming out of the snow, instead of being a hole.

Its the little things...

My adorable husband left this message for me to find! Super Cute! I Love My Man!

O, Christmas Tree

Before we got married Cody and I found a huge Christmas Tree on KSL for $20.  I was curious to see what it actually looked like, so when December came around I pulled it out of storage and set it up!

The branches were not color coded or number coded so it took a long time and a lot of work to get the tree together, but it turned out to be a pretty nice tree, for what we paid for it.  It leans to one side, but for $20 I think I can overlook that.

I have never put lights on a tree before, so I left that up to Cody.  We used all the lights we had in storage and it only covered the bottom 1/3 of the tree.  We went to Walmart and bought a strand of 200 lights.  That covered the second 1/3 of the tree, so we had to go back to Walmart, again and buy another strand.  That strand covered the top 1/3 of the tree, and then some.

I love having my own Christmas tree, in my own house!
