Some of our Latest and Greatest Adventures........

Alright! Here we are, ready to share some of the latest happenings for the Wall Family!

Our ward had a cake auction this last week. Keven and our pal Clint decided to make cheesecakes and decorate them with the their personal preferences -- The U or BYU. Sadly, our ward has a great deal of cougar pride so the BYU cheesecake went for more money. But we still loves the Utes!!

Happy Birthday to Grandpa Martin!!!! We went out to a special birthday dinner to celebrate his birthday, and it was great!!!



Here are lovely Jamie and Sean. This is Keven's younger sister and her husband.






We went to a Japanese restaurant where they cook your food in front of you. This was our cook and he was quite entertaining!








Keven, Sean, and Grandpa Martin.







I haven't been a big fan of giving Hannah cookies, cake, ice cream, etc at her age. But we thought a little bite of chocolate from the cake would be fun -- and if you can't tell, she loved it!






Yahoo for Weddings! This weekend we were able to go to Idaho to see my Uncle Jim be married. Nearly a year ago he lost his wife, my sweet Aunt Carol. It has been hard to see my Uncle so lonely since that time. But he made friends with a lady that he and my Aunt Carol have known for quite some time. She, Joan, was also a widow. They have both found happiness with each other and we are excited for them!!



This is me and some of my cousins. These ladies are wonderful! Love you guys!!





Here are Joan and Jim with Hannah.







Cute Daniel was so nice to dance with Hannah for a good portion of the night. Hannah really enjoyed it!









Matt dancing with Hannah.





OH, these girls are so great!! How I love my young cousins! Merissa, the one with the knee brace, had surgery just days before the wedding and still made the trip from Wyoming to Idaho. What a trooper!


This is my Mom, Aunt Cindy, and Aunt Gloria. They are a fun pair that keep all the family laughing!

Missionary Matt!!

Here's a little shout out for my little bro, Matty!! He has recently received his mission call to serve in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mission!!! He is leaving April 9th and is super excited! Congratulations Matt!!!

Go Jazz!!

So, the Utah Jazz season has surely begun and Keven has been really excited about it all! He loves to watch the games and talk Jazz with everyone and anyone!


My friend Cat works for the Huntsman's and surprised us with some extra tickets to watch the Jazz vs. the Suns game in the Huntsman suite -- good times! She surprised us even further when we got to the game by getting us tickets to watch a quarter of the game on the actual floor!!!




I have never seen these men close up before, but let me tell you -- they are HUGE!! It was soooooooooo great to watch the game from such a close view! We were amazed the whole time! All these shots are ones we took while watching the game from the floor, the nice man I sat next to took the shot of Keven and I. The one with the back of Bell was great! He was passing the ball in right in front of us, that was pretty neat!





Go Jazz!!!

Happy 2008!!!

Happy New Year!!! Please bear with me as I share MANY of our fun pictures from our lovely Holiday!!

These first pictures are at East Canyon where we had a little vacationing fun between Christmas and New Year's. Keven got a Guitar Hero for Christmas and it was very popular with all the family!!











This is one of our favorite neighbors, Clint. He is holding his son Caleb,
whom we all refer to as Hannah's boyfriend.















This is my cute neice, Maleia. I loved this picture we took of her. She is a good playmate with Hannah, even though her favorite activity is pulling Hannah's hair! But that's okay, we love Maleia!

This is Hannah throughly enjoying some Ravioli. We were all shocked by the amount of food this little one could pack in. At this particular sitting she finished the entire can! She was SOOOOOOOO messy, if you can't tell!

Here is our living room on Christmas morning! The other picture is at a Wall Family Christmas Party. We did White Elephant gifts and Russ got my gift of a silky nightie!




Here is our sweet baby in her Christmas get up. Keven is holding her the Sunday before Christmas in her Christmas dress. And I am holding her up on Christmas day so you could all see her Santa hat and little bootie's. So cute!!















And these final pictures are a continuation of the WAll Family Christmas Party! Little Baby Lily, the youngest of the WAll Clan. And Sean and Whitney both enjoying their new White Elephant gifts!

We wish you all the happiest of New Years!

Christmas Fun!

Alright for Christmas Fun!! Here are some of the latest and greatest activites from the Wall home!

My sister-in-law Jamie has been showing her cute craftie stuff on her blog so I felt like following suit. I have to say that I am not a craftie person, but I have wanted to make something like this for Hannah's room. So Wa la!! I prepared the wood, got the vinyl lettering from a kind lady in our ward, painted the wood, and applied the vinyl!! I must say it turned out much better than I thought it would -- I was worried about putting this all together myself since I am not very artistic.





We had a nice Christmas get together with the Holbrooks and it was great! Jeff and Keven are just like kids when we get together, it really is funny to watch them! It's nice they get along so well because Becca and I spend most of our time chatting it up!




Emily is hilarious!!! Hannah went to bed and Emily kept on asking where Hannah was, super cute! And you should see this girl dance! Oh my, it is so funny!

In this picture Emily is holding a ten dollar bill. We have a little game with the Holbrook's dealing with this ten dollar bill - which is basically passing it back and forth because of an ongoing dispute about who owes ten dollars to who. There have been some very creative ways to pass it too! It has been going on for over 2 years now!!




Here is the lovely Wall Family!! We are enjoying Temple Square lights!






Here is my sweet baby. She is the busiest girl, but surprisingly has not noticed the Christmas tree so far this season -- until the other day. She finally realized there was a whole tree of fun and she has been going to town! She loves to take the ornaments off and eat them, shake them, and ring the bells.

Alright for Christmas Fun!! Hope you are all having some as well!!

Our Week in a quick Recap..

Busy is a good word to describe this time of year and this last week! Thanks to all those who we got to see at fun Christmas parties ~ which would be cute Holly and the good, old Brighton gals! I loved seeing all of you! (And thanks again Holly for the awesome dress for Hannah!! WE both love it!!)

Here is our week in a quick recap....

This is Hannah when we went to dinner one night. She is SOOOOOOOOO funny! She has started this new thing where she likes to blink, especially when we try and take pictures of her.


Hannah also had her first ear infection. She has done pretty well regardless, but we are glad she has gotten back to happy self!

Now, don't be alarmed. This crazy looking man is just Keven. He was getting ready to shovel the driveway.


Hannah has become quite the busy bee. She is into everything! Her new favorite activity is to look at herself through the dishwasher and stove. She also loves to pull down the dishtowels and eat them.

Our little family also had the opportunity to play Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus in the our ward Christmas play. And I must say that Hannah was one cute Baby Jesus!!! When they asked us to play this part they also asked if Hannah could sit and be quiet during the whole play. Obviously they didn't know Hannah well! ( I was surprised they hadn't noticed her behavior in church!) I just told them that we would love to participate but I could not guarentee Hannah to be quiet. But she did pretty well......I am guessing she was not the first Baby Jesus to blow raspberries and clap her hands!
I wish I could show a picture but silly me forgot the camera! Bummer!

Don't Worry, the Wall's are BACK!!!!

Alright, you might have noticed that I have disappeared the last few weeks from the blogging world. I guess it is just that time of year! ~ But I am back and have a few pictures from our Thanksgiving Holiday to share!!!


This is my first offical, homemade Thanksgiving pie!!! Can you tell I am so proud of it!! What is funny it that I don't even like fruit pies!!! But Keven and I hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year and I was determined to make a homemade pie. I did eat a few bites and it tasted pretty good!! And I also would like to add that our first time hosting Thanksgiving went very sucessfully!!!

Go UTES!!!! Don't worry, Keven and I are still proud supporters of U of U Football - even though our team once again let BYU steal the game. Bummer.

We love Aunt Lydia!

I don't know if you can tell but Hannah is covered in orange. I guess she really liked the yams!! It might be hard to tell in the picture, but when we cleaned her off we found yams behind her ears, in her eyebrows, and in her hair. We couldn't believe how quickly she was getting them in her mouth - then we realized they were coated in brown sugar. Hannah really had not had sugar until that point so she truly enjoyed the experience!
