Our life the last few months

So.....our life has been busy for the last few months, I just wanted to share the highlights. Christmas was so fun!!!! Here are pics of Sam "opening" his gifts from Mark and I. He was very excited!!! (I can't figure out how to make these pics bigger. My sis-in-law took them and sent them to me so I'm not sure i can anyway)

This beautiful lamp was one of my gifts! Debbie my sis-in-law found this beauty at an estate sale and I was in love with it! Well her and my other sis-in-law Connie gave Mark the idea to get it for me! I was so suprised Christmas morning......and soooo excited!!!!!

Oh and we also got to talk to my little bro Taylor who is on his mission in England! He was actually allowed to Skype so we got to see him! It was so fun!!!

My little Sam boy got sick Christmas night and was sick for almost 2 weeks.....it was sooo sad!!! They thought he had RSV but not bad enough for him to be in the hospital, but we had to give him breathing treatments every 4 hours. It was NOT a fun 2 weeks!!!

He's even super cute really sick!!!

Poor Bubba!!

This handsome guy started his last semester at ASU!!!! Woo hoo!! He also has applied to 11 Law schools.....we are still waiting to hear! SO say a prayer for us to get in!!!

Mid January we ran in London's Run!! I ran the 2 mile fun run, Mark, Russ and Eric ran the 10k, and Allie ran the 1/2 Marathon!

Our brother in law Russ coming up to the finish line!!!

Mark's brother Eric finishing!

My stud muffin finishing! Go Mark!!

Ous sister in law Allie finishing her first half marathon!!!! Oh ya!!!!!

And somehow no pics got taken of me.......oh darn!! ha ha!!

Then on Feb.5th, kind of unexpectedly, my Grandpa Dahl passed away of heart failure. He was such a wonderful man. He had a PhD in Psycology and was an Institute director and in church education for over 50 years! He is one of the smarted people I know!!! I'm happy to know he is with my Grandma and my baby boy Miles!!!

Here is Sammy boy on the ride up to Utah for the funeral. I was so worried it would be a horrible drive with him but he did sooo great!!!!!

Sam and Mark in our hotel the morning of the funeral. Look at my smart boy on the computer!!!!

At the cemetery

the Pallbearers.....all my brothers and boy cousins

Family pic......side note, the funeral was on Valentine's Day. kinda depressing, but my goofy dad said, "how romantic, I get to bury my parents next to each other on Valentine's day!". Ha ha.....I think????!!??!?

Then when we got back from Utah, I had recieved our new bedding from Urban Outfitters! Thanks Mom and Dad for my way early birthday present!!!

Oh and in January our stake had a give and take thing at our stake center and I had gotten matching nightstands! So I redid them!! Here is one of them before:

And here is both of them after!!! I got the nightstands for free, and the paint and stain cost $13 so I got 2 new nightstands for $13!! Awesome!!!!!!

Then last weekend on Feb 26th, Mark, Eric and I ran in the 2 sisters one heart 5k!!! It was hard for me but hey....I ran 3 miles!! Woo hoo!!!

Oh and last Friday my baby brother Aaron J Dahl got accepted to U of A Medical School!!! Hoooray!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats little bro!!!! Love you!!! You will be a great doctor!!!
