A New Addition!

Yep, I'm an Aunt! Well, I first became an Aunt when my Step-sister had kids back when I was a teenager. Then when I married Isaac I inherited 24 nieces & nephews! But I am especially excited about this little one for two reasons. 1. This time I am fisically realated and 2. She and Abby are 11 months apart. We hope they will be the best of Friends!

Lindy Faith Ambrose was born on Jan. 18th at 4:06 pm, wieghing 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 inches long! Mom and Baby are doing great and little Lindy was able to come home yesterday. So Mom and Dad are thrilled. I am so proud of Lexi and Allan, I know they will be great parents. Lindy is so cute! And I can't wait for my kids to meet her, when they finally get over their colds. ;) Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

(So a little side note... the reason it took me so long to post this, is because I was waiting to get some pictures from my brother, but I never got them, so I decided to just do it with what I had, and what I stole off of their facebook pages. ;) )

The kids had to wait in the lobby

Awe man! I want to meet my cuz!

Doesn't my brother make the cutest dad! I had to steal this pic!

Proud mama!

So cute!

I love her name! So fitting.

Hollywood Connection

On Christmas my Step-sister told us about this great place in West Valley called Hollywood Connection! And the best day to go is Monday's because it is way cheaper on Mondays. And Isaac had the Monday after New Years off, so we went! It is wonderful if you have younger kids! Benjamin had so much fun! For an all day wrist band you get to go on all the rides (kiddie rides), play miniature golf, and go roller skating! Because it is in West Valley we invited my Dad and Step-mom to join us. They really enjoyed the grand kids and Isaac and I were able to have a little fun too while they watched the kids. Anyway, I highly recommend this place, especially on Mondays! Oh, and the best part is.... It's all indoors! Great for winter! We had so much fun and can't wait to go again.

The Carousel

This is Abby letting out her excited squeal!

The Bus ride (Left Mom and Dad a little nauseous)

Hot air balloon ride (left mom and dad even more nauseous, but the kids loved it!)

Isaac and I loved the bumper cars! (or bumper tires, not sure what these are called, but is was fun and Benjamin cracked up every time Isaac and I crashed each other)

My Step-Mom holding Abby

And this was Benjamin's favorite ride, the Dragon roller coaster! Isaac took the picture through the glass that is why it is a little fuzzy

Benjamin's first time roller skating!

Afterward, Allan, Fred & their wives joined us and my dad treated us all the Dinner at Chile's because we weren't able to get together for Christmas with him. It was a lot of fun!

Snow Days!

Well over New Year's we finally got some good snow! And we took the kids sledding for the first time. These first pictures are from a couple of days before New Years and the last one's are from New Year's Day. It was so much fun. It has been years since I have been sledding but having kids means we get to be kids again. We had so much fun!

Abby enjoyed her first time out in the snow

Benjamin trying to smile but kept looking down because it was snowing. And yes we forgot his hat and gloves, so he is using Isaac's BYU benie and Abby's pink gloves. :P

Isaac got quite a workout hauling Benjamin up the hill. Benjamin, however, loved it because he got to ride downhill and up!

Mother and Daughter

She was tuckered out after today!


Then on Jan. 1st we went sledding in Spanish Fork with Benjamin & Abby's cousins.

Benjamin trying to hold on to Abby for a picture. I love how buried she is in her coat!

After going down with Benjamin, Dad went down with both of them. After this we put Benjamin first and Abby behind him and she giggled the whole way down because she could see her brother in front of her.

Towards the end, we got brave and let Benjamin's cousins Aaron & Diego go down with him. The 3 of them loved it.

One Happy Little Family

(FYI, that was the only little patch where there was no snow. It looks terrible, but there really was a ton of snow that day)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone! Isaac and I are both very excited for 2010 and feel it is going to be a great year! We are very enthusiastic and hopeful. New Year's eve we went to another dance put on by our ward. The D.J. was not very good this time. But we still had fun and Benjamin loved it again. No video this time. We accidentally left our video camera at my mom's house. Anyway. We had a good time and Abby slept in her car seat in a side room in the church the entire time, so we really enjoyed ourselves and surprisingly, Benjamin stayed up to ring in the new year! So to start off the new year right, I have New Year's Resolutions. I have never done them in the past, because I always felt like a failure when I didn't do them. But this year I am determined to accomplish them. And to make it a little easier on myself. I only have 2.

1. Daily Scripture Study (I've been slacking and really want to get back into my old missionary habit of doing it daily)

2. Lose 20 lbs by June (I have already lost 15 since having Abby, but 20 more would put me right were I want to be)

2009 was wonderful and memorable, but we are ready for 2010!

Us at the Dance


Benjamin loved the party!
