babysitting Bailee Renee

I just love this little girl- especially when she loves me back. Before I started work and had some free time, Kristie dropped her off for the day while she headed off to work. It was kinda rough at times, as Bailee missed her mom. But she calmed down shortly after. Of course we had to get her hair done- she sat still so good for me.

Since I lived in Logan pretty much her whole live so far, I'll take any opportunity to watch her! (hint hint Kristie!). I just want to soak up as much Bailee as I can!
Love that she slept next to the duck on our bed. It's almost as big as she is!
Happy 'fake' family. Jonny's neice was over for part of the time, and by the looks of Bailee's face, she was not happy about that. But they had fun anyways.
Love you Kristie! Feel free to drop that baby off anytime!

wovel & Shaw Christmas table and tree

So my Aunt Jill got a Wovel. A shovel on a wheel. When she told me that is what she was getting, I thought what the heck? And when she got it in the mail and put it together, Jonny could not wait to test that out!

It is actually pretty cool, and very easy to use, and pretty fun.
I went inside after this picture, and Jonny was gone for about 20 minute going to town with that thing. Great purchase Jill. Poor man's snow blower I guess.
Shaw Christmas table. Jonny's mom always makes the table look so beautiful for any occasion, and Christmas was no exception.
Shaw Christmas tree- stunning and perfect as well.
Hope you had a great Christmas 2009!

Doty family Christmas party 2009

My family's party was at my Aunt Becky's home. She is so nice for letting all the crazy kids come into her white carpet home. It is so nice to just come and relax and be with family.

Jonny is the only adult pictured in this post. Looks like he was the only one there watching the kids. I swear I always get a picture of him holding Mabel. But how can you not? She is so cute!
Furbish girls 2009! Olivia, Evelyn, Mabel, Fenway.

friends Christmas party 2009

Our friend Angie threw the funnest Christmas party this year. It is always so fun to get together with friends! We did a $10 gift exchange game, had tons of yummy food, a return Air Force man come home, more games and great company- what could be better?

Ladies in black!

Cute Dominick- David and Aubrey's boy
Jordyn- Becky and Andrew's daughter has the most personality! I look over and there she is stuffing blocks down her shirts. I've recently had the opportunity to babysit her a few times, and she is such a fun little girl to babysit.



All the little kiddo's played so well together. It's good when all the younger one's are about the same age.

Our 'classic' picture. Kristie smashing my face.
So Jonny, Jacob, and David wore 'ugly sweaters'. And I think Jonny won, just wait until you see the others and you be the judge.

Angie made her 1st ham for dinner! And it was so delicious! Great job Angie!




I just love this couple!
Ugly sweater #2, great job Jacob!


Cute little baby Logan!
Welcome home Andrew! Becky's husband has been in Texas for the last 4 months in the Air Force training, and returned home mid party. Our friend Jeff picked him up from the air port and rushed him to the party to greet his sweet wife and daughter. What a happy thing!





Thanks everyone for being the best friends a couple could ask for!

new baby

My cousin Jessie welcomed her new baby boy into her family on December 16th, 2009. Tristan is so cute and small, and such a good baby so far.

Love my cousin Jesse. When we were younger we were inseparable! We wanted to spend every waking minute together, and wanted to torment those around us. And we did a great job of that. Our parents can testify that we were pretty mean together- good thing we grew out of that. She has the cutest family now, Brandon her husband, Tora Bell her older daughter and now adorable Tristan. Her life is complete.
