and then there were.....TEETH

Crue decided that he is so big and cut his two bottom teeth this past Mon, and Tues. He turned 4 months on Wed, so we were a little surprised that he would be getting teeth this early. I feel unlucky because we are finally in a good routine, and this has thrown everything off! I guess I just need to realize that having a baby is completely unpredictiable and never they way you "think" it should be! This isn't the best picture, but you can kinda see them.... trust me they are there! And don't you love how the light on the camera makes their eyes go bug eyed?? He's too cute!

REMEMBERING... Eunice Parry Harris

Words cannot describe how I feel about my grandmother. She was the most amazing woman and someone I hold very dear to my heart. I cannot believe that it has been 10 years ago today that she passed away to live with her Heavenly Father. I think about her often and how she has changed my life and continues to be with me daily. I think of things she taught me, the faith she had in our Savior and most of all, how much family meant to her. She truly was the greatest example of the Savior and all He does for us --- I only hope that I can be a good example to others and my family like she was for me. It was the little things she did that have made the biggest impact on my life. She taught me how to love and to forgive... and most especially to not sweat the small stuff. I truly feel like I have the greatest grandparent's... even though they aren't here to be with me on this earth, I know they are here with me everyday! I thank them for their great example and for my great dad who they raised well. I am so blessed to have grown up having the Gospel in my life. This life is so short... I feel so lucky to know that I will see them again someday!

The proud Aunt and Uncle!

Proud Aunt

Proud Daddy!!

First Hair Cut!

So we decided it was time for our baby to have a hair cut. His hair was falling out all over the place, and everytime we would pull him out of the carseat, it would be all crazy. It just looked ridiculous!! So we sat him in his bumbo chair and gave him a #2!! And he looks so much better!

Finished product!

Look at all my rolls :)

Look how bald I am :(

COLE JEFFREY HARRIS

This past weekend on Jan. 13th my brother Jeff and his wife Tami had their 4th baby!! Cole Jeffrey is finally here and Crue can't wait to play!! He is darling and out of four kids, he is the only one with dark hair. The other three are all blonds!! Very funny, but super cute!

We Love Christmas!!

We are so thankful for our many blessings, and we feel truly blessed this year. Although we have many nice "things" we don't want to forget the true meaning of Christmas --- the birth of our Savior.

Crue slept through Christmas morning, so he opened his present from Santa that evening.. We didn't spoil him this year, just one present. He got so much from the grandparents, and we figure we had better start saving for next year. We want to buy him everything! It's so much fun!

New pegs for his bike. Can you tell he was excited??

Merry Christmas Brian!! This isn't the best picture of Brian's new Honda 450, but this is what he got for Christmas in Oct.. I surprised him with it.. So much fun, we can't wait to get Crue a 50! (we are selling a 250 if anyone is interested :))

Merry Christmas Debbie!!! Brian got me a new car for Christmas. (well I got it in Nov.) I am so lucky -- the Jetta had to go, it was way too small! Thanks daddy for all the room!

The grand kids all dressed so cute. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Harris!!!

The Harris Family has a tradition (like most other families) and every year the grand kids put on a Nativity on Christmas Eve. This year we spent Christmas Eve with the Holje's, so we did our Nativity on the 23rd, so we could make sure that Crue could be Baby Jesus.. he wasn't happy at first, but then Mary (Madison) put him fast asleep when she was holding him. It was so precious, and I feel especially lucky.. it was my first Christmas having a baby in the Nativity!! We love you Crue.

Our Nativity (Jacob decided he finally wanted to participate, but no costume!!)

Crue as our "sad" baby Jesus

Santa Cruz

Seriously... could he be a cuter Santa? Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Harris for the cutest outfit ever! We definitely got the best Christmas gift this year--- our Crue!
