Bye Bye "Bee Bee"

So I have been so back and forth about this whole getting rid of the binkie, I have gotten a lot of helpful advise and my final decision was that I would wait, what harm could it do? The truth is I was terrified to take it away, he LOVED his "bee bee" whenever he didn't have it he would just cry out "BEE BEE"! There was no way it would be easy! Well one day I left his binkie at Emmy's house and couldn't find another one, instead of going out and buying more or searching for one I decided "this is it, I'm going to just do it!" The first nap without it was awful, that night was terrible, the next day was bad, and then on the 3rd day, it was like he had never knew his bee bee, he can now even see another kid with a binkie and he's fine! When you ask him "where is your 'bee bee" Gordon" he puts his hands up and says "All gone"! I am actually more proud of myself then I am of him!

Big Boy Bed!

So Tory and I bought Gordon a Bed from Ikea, we weren't planning on putting him in it quite so soon, but when I got back from Brooke's house, Tory had painted Gordie's room and we set up the bed that night. I did not think he would stay in a bed at only 17 months old! It took 3 hard nights and now he loves it, and Tory and I love reading books with him at night and being able to crawl right in bed with him!

True Love Indeed

Gordie and I went and stayed with my best friend Brooke and her little girl Bridget! It was so much fun! The two kids hit it off great, we couldn't have asked for a better reaction from the two since Brooke and I have been planning their future long before they came around! It was so fun to just hang out with Brooke and talk while the kids played! I really wish they lived closer!

Started off a little shy...
...But it didn't take long for them to warm up!

Gordie got a green bank for himself and wanted his girlfriend to have a pink one!

It was so cute, the whole time they were in the bath together Bridget just kept washing Gordon's hair! She is so motherly! Gordon only cared about the new bath toys.

4 Year Anniversary

On December 31, 2009 it was Tory's and my 4 year anniversary! On the night of our actual anniversary (New Years eve), we went out for Chinese food, then went to the Olympic oval to ice skate, then the next day we went down town to stay at the Little America. We walked around down town, Talked, saw movies, SLEPT IN!! It was so fun to just be together alone! I can honestly say I am more in love with Tory now then the day I married him! I can't wait for the many years with him that are to come! Thank you Tory! I love you so much! Thank you to my mom for taking Gordon that night!

Christmas 2009

This Christmas will probably go down in history as my most memorable Christmas, we did so many fun Christmas activities, seeing the lights at temple square, live nativity, a lot of Christmas movies! This one was so special for a couple reasons...Cute little Gordon was more aware this year of the festivities, we got to talk to Carl who is on his mission, first Christmas away, and because my cute, wonderful mom spent most of 2009 working on quilts for every single one of her children, in laws, and grandchildren, that's 13 quilts! And with all of our scraps she made my dad a huge quilt! We all knew we were getting these quilts, she let us pick out our own material, all of us girls thought that if we all were getting quilts that morning, my mom needed one of her own! So we all worked on a quilt for her! It turned out better than I could have imagined! It was so neat to give that to her, she cried of course as did the rest of us! I will always cherish my quilt and always remember the Christmas of the quilts! Thank you so much mom!

Cute winter hat for the cold months!

Thanksgiving in Arizona 2009

We had such a fun eventful Thanksgiving holiday! We drove there through the night, I thought "perfect, Gordo will sleep the whole way!" Well, no it didn't exactly go down that way! He slept til about 11pm and was awake and crying til about 1:30am! We stopped a couple times so Tory could sleep but for the most part we just drove the entire night!

Our first stop was Tory's Good friend Mike and Josephina and their adorable daughter Isolina. We showed up at their doorstep at about 8am looking tired and haggard! We stayed at there house Saturday to Sunday, We also got to hang out with Tory's other good friend Jeff and his cute wife Page! It was so fun to see them! They were trying to per sway us to move to AZ and I must say the offer was very tempting in the 78 degree weather!

Our next stop was to my grandpa Ron's house. He and his wife own a cute bed and breakfast in Hereford Arizona. It is so beautiful there! You would never guess you were in Arizona. We arrived at his house Sunday night and we were welcomed by the best spaghetti I have had! I guess my grandpa has been perfecting it for years! So good! He was so cute with Gordon, he gave him this case of golf balls with Disney characters on them! Gordon loved them of course. He said he's been holding on to them for 10 years waiting for the perfect person to give them to, and when little Gordo showed him his mad golf skills, he was impressed and Gordon got the balls!! The next day he took Troy Golfing with him! It was a short stay but very fun!

Our next and final stop in Arizona was to my Grandma Gretchen's house where we would stay from Monday to Friday. It was so fun to her and it has been years now for me and for Tory and Gordon it was the first time they met! We also got to spend Thanksgiving with the cute Krieg Family! We had so much fun, my grandma was great with wild Gordie! She luckily still had all the toys from when Adair was little and Gord loved them! It was a very memorable thanks giving!

On our trip home we stopped in Vegas to stay with my family, they were there for Will's soccer tournament! It was so fun to see Katie it had been forever!

Bad mother for letting him do this? Maybe.
