We started off the new year with some of Jeff's family visiting us! Carl, Jolynne and their kids made the long trek from Portland, Oregon to spend New Years Eve with us and Jeff's parents. They encountered snow and some scary road conditions on their drive so we were very grateful when they made it to Fresno! New Year's Eve is also our newphew Hunter's birthday so it was one big celebration after another! On New Year's Eve day we went to my dad's grape vineyard/almond orchard. My brother Tyler gave everyone a tour and then they got to ride the four-wheelers and drive tractors around. After that everyone went to Boomers to play mini golf while Jeffs mom and I stayed home to get ready for the party that night. That night we had my family over along with Jeff's for some food and games. We played some great Schill family favorites and everyone had a lot of fun! For some reason I don't have many pictures. Jeff's mom has more but I can't figure out how to get them off of Shutterfly, so this will have to do!

Later in the month we went to my parents cabin in Shaver for the weekend with my brother Ryan's family and my parents. We had fun sledding, eating, playing games and relaxing!
Jamisen eating nuts with his Papa. Jamisen knows he gets the good stuff with my dad- he is always sneaking Jamisen nuts, popcorn, candy, Dr. Pepper and so on! I guess that's what grandparents are for! :)
I love dressing Jamisen up in cute church outfits on Sundays. Sometimes Jeff has to remind me that he isn't my little doll!
How cute is that little smirk on his face?!
I love this sweater! It has a built in tie!
I made this bath time basket as a gift for a friend's baby shower. I am not too creative so I was pretty proud of myself for coming up with this!Last, Jeff spent the entire month working out of town on the weekdays so that left me lots of time to read! I have rediscoverd my old love of reading and may be a little obsessed! I read this 4 book series "Faith of our Fathers" in a month. It's a historical fiction about the Civil War and it's written by an LDS author. I really loved it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good series to read!

Jamisen is so cute. He's growing up so fast. I love his little church outfits.
I LOVE all of jamisen's outfits. Too cute!! I love dressing up my little man too but the fanciest I get is a different tie each week...almost.
Haha, I love the part when you said Jeff has to remind you that Jamisen is not your doll. Too funny! He is one hadsome little guy in all of his outfits!! Love the shower gift you made. You are crafty, I don;t know why you say you are not very crafty!! :)
Hey Ash, love the bath time basket!! So cute! Also, have you read "Fire of the Covenant"? That is a good read as well. It is just one book, but it is a long and really good one.
Cute Basket!! I love all the church outfit pictures of Jamisen! And he most definitely IS your dress up doll! What a cutie!
Jamisen is ADORABLE! And I love that little gift basket you made :) Can't wait to see you soon....a few months maybe?!
HOW CUTE! Jamisen and the basket! Maybe one day we'll have a boy, in the mean time---pink and frilly everything! Hey, will you email me about how to make those "suckers" in that basket--darling! Thanks-Rach
