Jan-Feb {2012}

So one thing I need to do better at in the years of 2012 is updating my blog more regularly. I hope I can do that. January and February were not too bad for the Lundquists. So again, I will share pictures of the last two months.

One Saturday, Dall and I were cleaning the house and out Gabe got so tired, he tuckered out on the couch. No blanket either. We knew this little boy must have been exhausted. Cute non the less!

 In January, we spent a LOT of time at the Pediatrician. We found out that Gabe has allergy induced asthma. His asthma also comes on when he gets a cold and he has had a few colds in January and February. Poor little guy! Dallas and Gabe are passing the time in the waiting room at the Dr.'s office.  

 My Best Friend Ali was in town for Christmas and into January so I was able to see her a few times. It was so fun seeing her and her darling little boy Boston. We also indulged in some yummy Frozen Yogurt and Ali's sister Mimi was able to come too. I use to work with both of these ladies and I miss it!

 These next three pictures are all taken at the Pediatricians office. Gabe was having a mini asthma attack so Dr. Bosworth had him hooked up to the nebulizer and we did a breathing treatment in their office. We told him that it was his super hero mask.

 This visit at the Dr.'s was a follow up just a week later. Gabe's Dr wanted to check his lungs and see how his breathing was. The sweet nurse brought in animals and Gabe was just fine for the entire appointment. Now he incorporates the Dr.'s office with the place with then animals.


 This is where Gabe likes to spend most of his time... in the basement shooting Hoops... with us of coarse. It is nice because we go down to exercise and he plays ball. Win Win.

My mom and I went to Kneaders for lunch one day and Gabe and Grandma were looking at some birds perched on a lamp post. I LOVE this picture of the two of them. 

 Marni invited us to Carson's Birthday Party at this awesome Trampoline place in Draper. The name of it slips my mind. Gabe and Avery had a lot of fun in the kiddie area. Gabe loves to jump on tramps so I knew he would be in heaven. I was right.



 We went with some of our good friends to the Herriman Rec Center. It is my favorite place to go in the winter months. Gabe was a little weary of all the big slides, so he just stuck to the little slide and splashed around with his friend Mollie. They had a lot of fun together!!!



 Wherever we go, Gabe HAS to drive in the "vroom vroom cart." Harmons has this one and it is Gabe's favorite. I also like it because Gabe is a saint at the Grocery Store if he drives in his car the whole time. Another Win Win.

 We have been aching for Spring!!!! Gabe longs to be able to push his lawn mower ans I just want it warm so I can do yard work. Crazy? Maybe.. but I welcome yard work if it means Spring is here!!!

 Dall and I celebrated Valentines Day early. The Friday before, we ate dinner at Olive Garden (we had a gift card) and then saw "The Vow." Great Valentines movie. It was a great night spent with my Love!

 This was our sweet set up on Valentines Day. I made a really good Spicy Shrimp Pasta with grilled Asparagus and rolls. Cherry Garcia for Dessert. It was YUMMY!!!

 Funny boy.

 We had a fun Date Night with the Johnsons. Erin and Dan have two boys and a baby girl, Levi, Lucas and Pepyr. Gabe LOVES to play with the boys. The played all night while we played games. It was a fun night!!!

So January and February were good to us. Let's see what March and April will bring.

The rest of our 2011

Where did the month of December go??? I love the Holidays but they always go by too fast. It seems more so that way as I am getting older. We had a great December though. It was full of activities, fun parties with family and friends and a lot of Holiday spirit. So of coarse, this is going to be a post of a lot of pictures and not too much typing.

We had a fantastic and delicious Thanksgiving with my family.  Mom mad a whole bunch of pies. She was quite proud of them. The kids played outside because it was so nice while the adults hounded through the Ads!






Nate and April brought home their babies Abriha and Axum Tariku from Ethiopia. We all went to the airport to welcome them home. They were all very tired from the long flight. We love them so much and are grateful for their safe return.




 My pretty Christmas tree for 2011. I liked how it turned out this year.

We went to The Festival of Trees and boy was it busy!!! After browsing all the isles, we put Gabe in a very large bubble. He loved it. 

 Our ward had a Christmas breakfast that was really nice and Gabe got to meet Santa at the end of it. He wasn't scared of him at all.

 My awesome neighbors decided to have a cookie exchange. We made a lot of cookies and were able to take some of each kind home. Great company and great food.

 Dallas did some Karaoke at his company party... after a LOT of bribing.

 We had our first Blair Ugly Sweater Party this year. We went bowling at Fat Cats, ate great Pizza, made fools of ourselves with our horrible bowling skills (all except for Dall and Tommy), and were in our horrible sweaters. It was a great night!


We were able to go to the Nutcracker at Capital Theater this year. It was great, as always... and me and Allie got a little too crazy at intermission. hehe

We had our Blair Christmas Eve Eve party this year at Marni's. We ate a lot of yummy food and we watched the photo movie that Landon always makes every year. After that, we went over to Nate and Aprils to open presents. It was a fun night.


For Christmas Eve this year, we visited all of Gabe's Great Grandparents. It was so good to see all of them. Then after, we ate at Macaroni Grill and then went back to my parents to open our pajamas, watch Christmas Vacation and get really excited for Santa to come.






Christmas day was so great!!! We opened presents... I got my 2012 Project Life, Dall got a lot of clothes... and Gabe got a Basketball Hoop, among a lot of other toys. We went to church and enjoyed a nice meeting, and then we spent the rest of the day visiting all our family. It was a wonderful Christmas!!!




After Christmas, we went up the Lundquist Family party and ate food, opened presents and played Bingo. Gabe loved his Bingo. We also got to spend some time with some great friends that we haven't seen since the summer!!! And Gabe just played played played with all his toys!



We celebrated Allie's 25th birthday at RedRock. It sure was yummy. Happy Birthday Allie!!!

So we had a great Holiday Season. It sure went by fast but we had a lot of fun and made lots of memories. Here is to 2012!!!
