A Missionary & Gingerbread Houses

MISSIONARY
So last Friday Ragen's little brother Brogan came home off his mission in Chile. So we all headed to Salt Lake to greet him. Here is Elder Darrington. Welcome Home!




Kree has never met Brogan before so this was the first. Kree of course was happy as ever to go to him like he is everyone but he loved his Uncle Brogan.

All the little nephews and most of us adults wore soccor jerseys for Brogan, some were one's that Brogan had sent home to them. The 2nd picture here is Kree after his daddy let him get into the markers that the kids were making a poster with. Luckily it all came off.

GINGERBREAD HOUSES

So My sister's family and ours decided to make gingerbread houses for family home evening. It was fun and so messy. Let's just say I don't have the patience to decorate these in detail. Here are a few pictures of our fun creation.

A Little Behind

So I am a little behind on posting lately- it has just been crazy lately. First and formost Kree is 9 months old today, it's crazy! And to top that off he has a double ear-infection at the same time. Poor little guy! I feel so bad for him- he has been so miserable lately. Some new and exciting things that he is doing are:

• crawling like crazy- we can't control him, he's in to everything.
• he's pulling himself up and cruising a little against furniture
• loves to crawl into his saucer to eat whatever snacks he has left behind
• shakes his head no (whether he really means that who knows)
• claps
• has the best pouty face ever
• loves to throw tantrums when he doesn't get his way
• loves Handy Manny, Oso Special, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse- loves the songs
• And says the word "UP"- it so stinkin cute

Also Thanksgiving has gone and past so fast and I was not very good this year to take pictures, here is the only picture that I took. It was so nice because we were all home for the holiday. My mom was so excited. It was a nice day full of lots of food and lots of laughs.


On the 17th of November was mine and Ragen's 3 Year Anniversary. We really didn't do much because work has been crazy and Ragen got a new job with Wells Fargo. But that weekend we went to the BSU game in Logan, Kree loved it at first but then he got too cold. Everytime we bundled him up he would get mad and frustrated, then everytime we would take layers off then he was too cold and miserable. Needless to say Mom got very frustrated and decided to leave and go to the hotel. Ragen stayed with the rest of the family that was there. It was a great way to spend our Anniversary- can't ya tell. I am so glad to be married to such a loving and supportive husband. Happy Anniversary Sweetie! I love you!

This past Sunday night my sister's family, my cousin's family and us decided to make some homemade ornaments and surprise our Grandma by setting up her Christmas Tree and decorate it. She was definitely surprised and grateful. It was a good time and fun for the kids to all get together.
