First Snow Fall!

Mia loved the snow and kept asking "Whatzzthat?"

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

We had friends over for Thanksgiving, and it was awesome. We all made different parts of the meal, which made it easy. I was a little nervous with my first Thanksgiving without someone's parents cooking the entire thing. Everything was delicious, even the cranberry sauce which I had for thr first time.

Thanks to the Mitchells and the Palmers!

More Dancing!

This clip is long and mostly for grandparents, but still fun. Hope you enjoy!

Air Force vs. BYU

We had so much fun at the Air Force game. Ryan's family flew out for the game; we had his dad, brother, and brother-in-law. It was so much fun!

Grandpa with Mia!

This was way cool to see...

If you are a true BYU fan you know what this is...


Mia's nap, she was so tired, but she did great throughout the whole game.

I want to thank Ryan's family for coming out. It made my whole month, literally, I was so happy they could come! Thanks for the fun time with us!

Star Struck!

Ryan and I were at the Park Meadows Mall to get Mia's first year pictures. While we were there I ran to grab something in an another store and what I found was a about a hundred teenage girls wearing Twilight shirts. We went down to see what was happening and we found three actors for the Twilight movie! I don not know their real names but they were Victoria, Laurent, and Jacob. It was pretty exciting. Ryan and I went temporally deaf from all the screaming teen aged girls, but it was fun. The actors answered a few questions and talked about the movie. It made me excited to see the movie. What random luck, huh?

Fall Fun At The Park!

Mia actually loves the slide! I was surprised considering she is so little.

Here is a testament of Mia not liking being dirty, just like her cousins on the Hreinson side.

BYU Football - A Little Glimpse Of Heaven

It was a little glimpse of heaven because this was our first time this year being at a BYU game!

That game really kept my heart pumping and my throat sore!
Go COUGARS!

Halloween With A Bumble Bee!

Look at my ghetto bumble bee booty!

Walking

Mia with her 12 month jacket. You can tell she has our "short" genes, poor girl!

Mia loves her froggy slippers, both in walking and holding them like a stuffed animal.

Morning Surprise!

I went to get Mia and this is what I saw...

Walking

Well, Mia is walking now just about as much as she crawls. It is pretty funny because she is so proud of herself. She is still pretty wobbly, but she can bend down and pick up stuff without falling. I'll try to put a video clip of her walking on here as soon as I can.

Mia definitely has an attitude or “tude" as I call it, if I tell her no she turns and looks at me and does whatever I told her not too. I get a good laugh out of it, but I sure hope her little "tude" is short lived. I know though that if she is anything like me it will probably only get worse. lol I love being a mother!

Are you brave enough?

Are you brave enough to write a comment about your favorite General Conference talk and why? I love hearing other people's favorite talk and why. I always seem to get more insight when I ask other people. My favorite talk was by L.Tom Perry, keep it simple. For being in a "college student" situation it helped me and bade me to do keep things more simple. I also liked Elder Wirthlin's talk about how laughing. I can add my testimony to his about how laughter makes life so much easier.

Family Pictures

I would like a vote on which pitures are best because we are going to hang them up in our home. These are taken with my camera but Lorene's camera is better, so our actually pictures will be better. These are taken about 500 feet from our apartment.

Here is a video, even though it is on it's side, it is still pretty cute.

Birthday Cake

Here is the cake that I made for Mia. Well actually Ryan's sister, Sherron, fixed my writing skills on the cake. I only ended up writing the "H". I am awesome!
My gangster baby! I love this hat; we got it from the Gap. Can you see her curly hair?

The Church is True!

I read a few articles in the Ensign, and dang, the church is awesome. They know what they are talking about. They have an article about abortion from Russell M. Nelson, he was so clear and accurate. There are no cloudy after thoughts. Then the other article I read helps families to strengthen themselves against all the degrading values in this world. If you haven't had a chance to read it you can go to lds.org

Mia's First Birthday!!!

We started celebrating when Grandma Hreinson and Aunt Sherron came on Thrusday. We decorated and partied all week long. Can you tell it was a Mickey Mouse party?

On Mia's actually birthday we had a long full day. We started with opening some presents and then went to the Denver Zoo.

Mia "oohed and ahhhed" at all the animals. (She takes after her mother.)

Then we came home and opened more presents. Mia actually opened them all herself!

We thought that the day had gone perfect until...

THE CAKE touched Mia and it was over!

Other then the cake mishap it was an awesome day. We wanted to thank everyone who called and wished Mia a happy birthday and also thank all those who gave Mia presents. We are so blessed to have a great family and friends. Thank you, thank you everyone!

Random Pics of Mia

Here are pictures of Mia for the family.

Here is Mia drawing her first pictures on the Doodle thingy. I thought it was pretty good for an 11 month old.

Playing with mommy's shoes, what a girl!

Pots and Pans

Pharmacy School

This is at Ryan's white coat ceremony. The ceremony was pretty cool. I was so proud of Ryan.
