Christmas day!!!

Christmas this year was a lot more fun than last year with Kezia! We had to help her because if she couldn't see the present inside, she'd just take the present and walk around with it. So, we would barely open it so she could see there was something inside and then she'd go to town ripping it open.

Kezia loved the little cell phone we got her but don't let this picture fool you...only for a minute or until daddy opened up his screwdriver. Then that was her favorite toy the rest of the time.

Daddy got almost everything on his list and was happy!

Bret spoiled me!! I couldn't believe it. He got me the lens that I wanted along with a bunch of other stuff for my camera. Totally took me by surprise.

Kezia got a rocking horse from Grandma and Grandpa Wilson. At first she was afraid of it, but after some time she liked it. Now she loves it!

Yee-Ha Cowgirl!!

Still has the chubby little cheeks!

First time Kezia has seen bubbles. She loved them!!

Turpin Christmas Party!

Our ward had their Christmas party Friday night and we had our family party on Saturday. With both of the parties came different surprises. As you can see in this picture, Santa was the surprise. I think Kezia is trying to figure out whether she likes him or not.

For the Turpin party (mom's family) came a surprise nobody would have ever guessed. That's right...The GRINCH!!!! If you know my family, you can probably guess who is behind the makeup and costume...if you can't guess, well, I'm not going to say!

Kezia was a little bit scared but I think she did well...as long as she couldn't really see the Grinch.

Boy are we sexy or what?

What a costume!!!!!
I thought this was a funny picture. Here is Clayton (Anjelena's boy) hiding from the Grinch. Little does he know that we can see he's peeking!
Daddy was playing Dance Dance Revolution and Kezia thought she could do it too! It was so cute watching her try to copy her dad. Watch out "So You Think You Can Dance" here is your future contestant/winner!

Random pictures of Kezia!

Kezia loves her play balls that her Grandma Ellett gave her for her birthday...especially when her dad is playing with her.

Kezia's first pig-tails! She looked so cute and so grown up that I had to snap a shot.

I recently found out that Kezia is definately an Ellett. She loves olives...especially when they are on her fingers. I get them out and she automatically puts her finger out for me to stick them on.

She also loves being outside! She now grabs her coat and brings it to me. As soon as we are out, she makes a mad dash down the drive way. This is a picture of her running up the driveway to me...smiling all the way!

It's a good thing we live in a circle because if I take my off this little girl for 5 seconds she is on her way into the circle street. She loves rocks and will pack them around forever!

Crazy hair Kezia!!!

Kezia has the craziest hair ever! Ever since she was born her hair was never easy to tame. Here are some pictures of her when I have taken out her hair or right when she wakes up. She is so fun and is always making Bret and I laugh!

Playing outside!

One day I went outside to rake leaves thinking that maybe Kezia would like to play in them. Well, the moment I put her in them she started crying. She got in them only after I did. After a while she liked them. Here are a few of Kezia playing in the leaves.

My brown-eyed girl!!

It was after this picture she started liking the leaves. I wasn't expecting this picture to be so cute because I didn't even get ready for the day, but it ended up being one of my favorites!

Kezia is getting so big. Sometimes I just look at her like in this picture and think, "Wow! Where did the time go?"

So cute!!!!

My friend Janelle was so nice to spend her evening with us taking family pictures. Her and I didn't realize just how tough it would be with a one year old who just wants to walk and walk and walk. We were able to get a few family ones and some real cute ones of her doing her own thing and of Bret and I. Thanks Janelle!!!!

Kezia is little Miss Independent. I can't believe we got this shot, because she usually pulls our finger down hard and yells. I swear I can hear her say, "No, I don't need your help!"

What a cute little family!

Two things I love so much ... sunsets and my husband. What a picture!

Playing on the tractor

Help me!!!

Man! Kezia was tough but we liked this picture.

I love this one! Kezia and her bowlegged walk.

Fun at Wheeler Farm!

Tyona, my niece, stayed at our house over the weekend. I'd promised her a long time ago that we'd go and take some pictures of her. Saturday, we went to Wheeler Farm and had a blast! Tyona loved every minute of it! She is growing up so fast. As I took these pictures, I just kept thinking, "She is her mother's child!" Here are just a few of the hundreds we took.

Playing with different angles

I loved taking pictures of Tyona's eyes. They are very pretty!

These ones were fun to take.

The corn maze was a fun place to take pictures

There is the coolest tree ever at Wheeler Farm and I love taking pictures there!

Kezia working out with mom

I have been doing the P90X workout for a while now and Kezia watches me every day. The other day I start warming up and she goes and grabs a little 3 pounder and starts walking every where with it. I thought it was so cute!

Here I am doing a pushup thinking Kezia was just going to hangout. She had other plans!

As soon as I came up she crawled right underneath me and thought it was so funny as I tried to keep on going with her there.
