Christmas 2009

I have decided that it has been long enough and that I need to catch up on our blog! I am way behind and it isn't funny. I think after this that I will be all caught up. I forgot to say in my Last Blog that on November 12, 2009 Whitney took off crawling, she didn't need any help she just started to book it and from then on, she has been into EVERYTHING. We still need to get a stair gate, but she has seemed to not want to go down the stairs, so I haven't gotten one, but will soon. Alright, I guess I will start with how Christmas went. It was GREAT. Last year was Whitney's first Christmas, but she was so Little that she didn't know what was going on, and this year I don't think she knew either, she liked the boxes more than the toys that were inside :) We always have a Christmas Tradition of having the Bezzant Family Christmas Party ever since I can remember, and I am pretty sure that it started even before that. Anyway The Bezzant Christmas party was Held at the Lion's Club House in Pleasant Grove, It is good, because the extended family has grown so much that I don't think that there is a house big enough to fit ALL of us in there. We had a nice pot luck Dinner, Bonnie and Grandpa provided the Pizza and then we were assigned different food assignments for our families, we were to bring a dessert. It was a pretty good meal and then every year it is a tradition to have Grandpa Bezzant read the Savior's birth out of the Scriptures and we usually have someone play Mary This year was the Following cast.
Mary-Abbey Christensen
Joesph-Canon
Baby Jesus- I think it was Brad, Kellli and Jason's little boy.
Shephards- Porter Shelley, Braxton Christensen, Stella Fowles(which she loved to touch "baby jesus" :) Aiden Borchardt
Angels- Hannah Shelley, Whitney Fairbourn, Gracie Borchardt, and I think there were a few others but I can't remember who.
Anyway Grandpa and the Great Grandkids did a great job! It is so Entertaining to watch Everyone and to see the kids have a blast and be involved. It made me miss Grandma Bezzant even more. My sister Lisa said it great "Grandma was Christmas." The Things I miss about Grandma is spending the Holidays with them. I loved how every year she would give all of us Girls Christmas Dresses, and it was great to go look at her Village, there was so many houses and lights, she even had a train under the christmas tree. I loved her Tree because there was so many ornaments that they all filled every single branch on the tree and then she would add one more ornament to the tree and that tree was FULL :) I really missed her a lot this year!!! I am probably pretty sure that she was there in spirit at the Christmas party, because that brought her joy! Grandma always made the holidays fun and she knew the TRUE meaning of Christmas!
Before the Christmas Party I had to drive past Grandma and Grandpa's house even though it was dark I could picture the Christmas tree in the Window and the White Flocked Christmas Tree in the White room. I am glad that I drove past :)
We also have a tradition to eat Christmas Eve Dinner with my family at my Mom and Dad's house, I really liked it because it is fun to see everyone excited for Santa to come, it is cute to watch my Nieces and Nephews play and this year Whitney enjoyed all the cousins and it was a very yummy dinner, there was so MUCH food that you didn't have enough room on your plate for everything, so you had to go back and there was yummy apple pie for desseret and Cereal Candy and Divinity, I don't remember how many pieces I ate, but I know that I gained about 3lbs just eating Christmas Eve dinner. I had fun hanging out with my Brother and Sisters and it was nice because we were ALL there. After dinner Mom read the "The Night Before Christmas". I think this was the second year that we have read that story and I hope it contiues, because it really does put you in that Christmas Spirit.
This Christmas we put up our pre-lit Christmas tree, from when we got married and we turned it on and NOTHING, no lights notta. I asked around to see how you get the christmas lights working again on the tree and someone told me that you have to go through each light to see which ones were burned out! WHAT? No way I wasn't about to do that, so me and Trav decided that we needed another Christmas tree, for when we finish our down stairs basement and that we should have two trees. So we went out and Looked and we got a White Flocked tree and Trav put the Lights on it, We decided not to get a pre-lit one, because they are a pain, if one light goes out then they all go out, so we decided to put our own lights on and I thought it worked much better. I thought that our tree looked great. We had to put the ornmanets up higher this year, because Whitney thought it was great to pull the decorations off the tree and throw them like a ball. Not a good idea! But to a one year old, they were just balls to her, not breakables. :) Anyway... the next morning was Christmas and we had lots of presents to open. This year I asked for a Wii Fit and I got it! :) Wahoo! Thanks Santa, I also got a cute hoodie from aeropostle and p.j's. Also a pretty toothbrush holder. I gave Travis two pair of jeans, Fog lights for his semi, A glenn beck DVD, and Work Gloves. This year Whitney scored with Santa, lets just say he had a hard time choosing her gifts, because there were so many cute things that he made and he couldn't decide on which gifts to give her, but She got a Stroller that helps her walk, she got a rocking horse that turns into a ride-on, and she got a "Little People" House and also she got a great cell phone from Grandma and Grandpa Bezzant and her First Dolly from Tyson. I think she was a little overwhelmed but she has fun with her toys and I was excited to have Trav put them together :) he he. After we opened presents we went up to my mom's house again and opened presents from the person who drew our name, I had Amie, Trav had Dave, and Whitney had Landon. Lisa had my Name and Bryce had Travis's name and Tyson had Whitney. This is what we got and we love it.
I got Picture Frames from Lisa
Trav got two pocket book of mormons and a card for his computer to download pictures from his phone.
Whitney got her Dolly from Tyson and I already mentioned she got a cell phone from Grandma and Grandpa.
And for the Family mom and Dad gave us Moving Santa and Mrs. Clause, and I am really excited to put them up next year and let the move to the groove :) After we had Lunch we went up to Travis's Brother's house up in Roy, Utah. It was nice we had Christmas dinner and hung out and played the wii, and also we stayed the night and had a blast! I am already looking forward to next year Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving my mom and dad decided to down to Arizona to see my brother Dave and his Wife Lori and there daughter Ila. So, all of my brother’s and sister’s decided to go down too! We had done it before and we had a blast. The weather was warm the last time that we went and went swimming in NOVEMBER. The only family member that didn’t go down, was my younger sister Lisa and her Husband Kellen. Before we left Whitney was sick and Travis was sick and I started to feel sick, but we had already booked the hotel and I decided it wasn’t going to be bad and that we would be fine and we would get better. I was WRONG. I started to get more congested and my ears started to hurt and it hurt to swallow. We mostly stayed in our hotel and slept, it was 75 degrees outside and it was beautiful, but we were So sick, that we didn’t even go swimming and it was PERFECT weather to go swimming. Whitney started to feel better, but I was getting worse .We did a little shopping and had ate dinner at Dave’s, but we didn’t do much, because we were SO sick. We came back home, and on the way backI felt like CRAP it was bad, I wanted to die. We came home and I went to bed, I was so tired and I was extremely miserable and truly did want to die. We went to the Dr. and they said that Trav had a virus and that I had a virus and a Ear infection. The Dr. put me on Anti-biotics and I thought I was going to feel better soon, but after two days I wasn’t getting any better, I was actually getting worse, so Travis decided that I needed to go the Dr. again, but we would try a different doctor. We went up to the Spanish Fork Clinic and I saw Dr. Lytle, he looked in both of my ears and said that I had a double ear infection and that I probably had a virus too. I started to cry and he said “What is Wrong? I told him that I was miserable and that I was hurting, he prescribed a new anti-biotic and gave me some cough syrup and pain medication. I really liked him and he was really nice and very compassionate. I think we found a doctor who is not a idiot and knows what he is doing! Hopefully next Thanksgiving we will be well and not sick. Now that we are well, I want to go to Arizona again and get warm!

Whitney's Birthday Party

Well.... Sorry it has taken me so long to update our blog, but we have been super busy and now I have 10 minutes before I need to go to bed, so I will type fast. The day after her Birthday it was time for her Birthday Party!! I was really excited, this was going to be the first time for cake and Ice Cream. I was excited and had it in my mind that she was going to go for it and dig into the cake. My Family came down to Santaquin, Utah and we had dinner and then it was time for Whitney to open presents, she got a lot of cute toys she got a cute "Little People" school bus from Aunt Amie and Uncle Bryce and their kids and then Aunt Karen and their family gave her a "Little People" suv and Aund Lori and Uncle Dave and Ila gave her a cute airplane that you put little balls and it plays music. Grandma and Grandpa Bezzant gave her cute p.j.'s that had little Ballerinas on them and then Grandma Fairbourn gave her some money. Grandma Sheryl lives in Ohio and we don't get to see her very often, but we are grateful for her. Also she got some money from Great Grandpa Bezzant and his wife Bonnie. After we opened presents then I sat her back in her high chair for Cake and Ice Cream. I made chochlate cupcakes and a cake. Like I said before I thought she was going to dig in and make a mess! WRONG she was very dainty and girl like and picked off the sprinkles and ate them one by one, a true girl! She does not like to get messy. She was really cute and then it was time for the Ice Cream! She LOVED the ice cream and ate the whole bowl that I gave her. It was a great party and we had lot's of fun with the family and it was a great memory that I will never forget.

Whitney's First Birthday!

Holy cow! I can't believe that it has been a year since our sweet little Angel has come to us! Where did the time go? It makes me tear up thinking about how much we have been through to get her here! I am so glad that she is here. She is my sunshine! Well She had her first birthday on 10/29. Two days before Halloween! I am really glad that she didn't come on Halloween, I didn't want that. I don't know why, but I just didn't. Well on her Birthday I had to go to work and she was with Grandma Bezzant for most of the day, I couldn't wait to get home to see her and be with her. Trav wasn't home he was on the road and he was going to be home for her Birthday party on Friday! I got to my mom's and then took her shopping. We first went to Target and I picked out her presents, well actully Travis did too, because I called him a thousand times to give him the details about what I wanted to get, I couldn't decide, I found so many cute things. Also I got some stuff for the party and then went to the mall to find some white shoes for her and earings for me. Of course I had to go my favorite store for her. It's called crazy eight. I found the cutest little sweater dress and shoes and socks and cute heart baretts that matched the outfit! I couldn't pass it up. Then I decided that I needed to take her out to dinner. You always need to take your kids out for lunch or dinner on their birthday. We went to the Flaming Wok in the University mall, I thought that she would like the noodles. She LOVED them. I got sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken and I also got a sprite for us to share. It was so cute to watch her take her first sip of sprite, She took a sip and made a funny face and then I tried to give it to her again and she wouldn't take it, I think it was too fizzy for her and she likes her drinks warm (her milk has to be really warm) so I think that she didn't know what to do! That is fine if she doesn't want to drink pop, hopefully less dentist bills. :) Anyway it was a nice day, but it didn't feel like her birthday until Friday when we had the party. I will post soon about her birthday. I need to get the pictures off my camera. Trav stole the batteries out of it to put it in his camera, so I don't know when I will get them posted, but I will soon. :)

Ohio continued

Well, it has been a month, and I bet your dying to know what else we did in Ohio. I know I am way behind on our summer, but when you have a baby, you really don't have time to blog. But Whitney is asleep and I am on fall break so here it goes:

Anyway.... after his brother picked us up in his small little vehichle that reminded me of my uncle Kenneth's car. (that is another blog) we arrived at Travis's mom's house. She lives in Apple Creek, just a little town, I mean LITTLE town outside of Wooster, Ohio. Travis's mom lives in Amish Country, his across the street neighbors are Amish and so his mom's house (trailer) is the only one with lights on, Everything else is pitch black, you can't see anything. We got there pretty late and we were all tired. So some important things that we did there was one, that Travis's sister went and recieved her endowments! It was a great day! Travis's neice Adalaide watched Whitney while we were in the temple, and I was so nervous, because I have never left her with anyone except my mom, and my sisters. But Adalaide did really well! When were waiting for Angie to come into the Endowment room, I was sitting besides Travis's sister Heidi and then she walked into the room! I can't describe the feeling I felt when she walked into the room, there was such a strong spirit there! I started to get emotional and looked over at Heidi and I think she was feeling the same way I felt, because she was crying too! It was such a great experience and I was so happy to be in the Celestial room with my sweetheart! After the temple we went out to eat, I can't remember what it was called, but it was a buffet and it was really good, The next big event was our nephew Brandon that got baptized! Travis's brother Aaron baptized him and Travis was a witness and Confirmed him a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints! Again that was such a spiritual day! In Ohio they actually get baptized on Sunday and Confirmed the same day. I even get emotional now writing about this day too! Again there was a special spirit in the room as Brandon entered the waters of baptism and then again there was a special spirit as he recieved the Holy Ghost! I am so proud of Travis that he got this oppurtunity to do this and that he has always Honored his priesthood, so he could be worthy do to things like this! It was a amazing day! It was also a nice visit with my mother-in-law Cheryl, she is so sweet to me and Travis's family makes me feel so welcome, that I actually didn't want to come home to reality. Travis had to leave to go on the road and I wasn't going to leave until wednesday so I had two days with travis's mom, sister and brother and their families. One of those days we went to Tuscora Park! It was so much fun, but I didn't feel that great and so I was really tired. It is really funny, but Travis's mom hates to drive on busy roads, so I got to drive to Tuscora and it was different to drive in a city that I had no idea where I was going. Tuscora park was like a amusment park for little kids, It has a train, merry-go-round, ferris Wheel and swings, but the park was absoutley beautiful, but it wasn't for babies at all! But I did discover that Whitney LOVES to swing in the baby swings at the park. We also fed the ducks, by the time we were done, it was dark and it was time to drive back, but I forgot to bring my glasses and I can't see very well in the dark, so Travis's mom tried to follow Angie back to Apple Creek, but she couldn't Keep up with her (she kinda drives kinda slow). Now I know why Travis drives so slow! LOL. Whitney did really well on the plane again as were going home! This time theiy didn't have any extra seats so I had to hold her, but she was sooo good and she made a lot of friends on the plane, especially a little dog. Yes there was a dog on the plane, he was in a little doggie bag. Get it Doggie Bag! I crack myself up!! Anyway she thought that the dog was great and a lot of people were impressed how well she was behaved and how happy she was! Well that is about it. I hope you enjoyed reading about our trip, I had a lot of fun and I'm already looking forward to our next trip to Ohio this next summer, but one thing Whitney will be 19 months, so I have no idea how she will do on the plane, maybe next time I will have to drug her. (Kidding mom, Kidding) I love to watch my mom's eyes get big when we say stuff like this :)
