Samantha smiles!

Ok so how cute is this! It is so fun! Samantha smiles at us now! Thanks to my friend Steph I was even able to catch it on camera!

All I have to say is that I have one cute little girl! I don't mean to brag, but jsut look at her!

Here is Samantha in one of her Holiday dresses! She was making faces at Von. He is really good at getting her to smile.

Happy New Year!

We went to a party this year at our friends Steph and Justin's house.

Oh, so that is how you wear those hats!

Here is our New Year's group. We had a good time playing Guitar Hero and lots of other games, not to mention all of the yummy food that we ate! We had a great time!

Samantha's first Christmas

Here is Samantha in her Christmas jammies! She looked so cute in her Christmas outfit.

Oh the holidays!

Well Samantha got to meet a lot of new people over the Christmas break. She went to Utah and got to meet one of her Great-grandma's! Here she is in Logan meeting her great Oma!

Then she got to go to Idaho Falls and meet her Grandpa! She loves her grandpa already!

Then she got to go to Ogden and meet another great-grandma! She had a great time there too!

Then of course I had to show her off at church! Here she is in her cute little Christmas dress.

If you are wondering, YES that is a palm tree, and YES it is covered in snow. Here I thought I moved to Vegas! I thought I was moving to a desert! Boy was I wrong! It snowed in Vegas!

SOO Cute!

So here is what happend when I left Von alone with the baby for the first time. He took pictures of all the funny faces that she made!
I love this face! She looks scared!

Here is daddy and Samantha spending some quality time together. She loves to sleep on his chest. If she ever gets really upset he can always calm her down! All I have to say is Aww!

Oma and Opa

Here is Oma and Opa! They came to visit for the weekend and to mee their #3 grandkid.

Here is Samatha with her Uncle Micheal!

Then Aunt Rachal is the only one that got Samantha to smile!

The fam had a great time and so did we. It is always nice when family comes to visit. We are looking forward to seeing my fam at Christmas. We are driving to Idaho. It should be really fun.

Samantha goes to church.

Ok so I know that I should be staying home and resting, but I can't stand to be stuck at home 24/7. So on Sunday I only went to Sacrament meeting. It seems like it has been ages since I went to church so I was so glad to be there. Everyone thought I was crazy. They kept telling me I should not be out and about. Von told me that I am going to make the other wives look like wimps because I am recovering so well. I really do feel so much better. As soon as this third week began I really do feel a million times better. I will not be running any marathons, but I feel great. Plus I had fun putting Samantha in a cute little dress. She looked so cute! Anyway, we are doing well and can't wait to see everyone at Christmas!
