Laughing Girl!

We have been trying to get Meah to laugh for months now! Every now and then, after trying FOREVER we could maybe get a tiny little laugh. But this last week we were over at some friends house, looking at their house to move into, and their little girl was able to get Meah to have a good laugh! It was so cute and I seriously was just melting hearing that laugh of hers. I guess me and Log just aren't that funny... we get it now. :)

Here's the video... thanks Hailey!

ARIZONNAA!!

At the beginning of January we were able to head down to Arizona with all my family. It was so fun! The toddlers got left behind with the other set of grandparents and of course Meah and Zoe came along! We hadn't all been together in Arizona for quite a while so it was so good to get away with everyone. We did lots of relaxing, went to the Suns game, shopping, eating, went to the temple, mostly everyone went to Les Mis, the boys went golfing a couple of times as well went on some hikes and a few of us were able to go to an indoor trampoline place. It was so fun!! Unfortunately Log had to head back a couple of days early so he could get back to school, but it was so fun he could come for a few days anyways! It was a great week and are grateful for my Mom and Dad for making it happen!

This was just a few days before we went to AZ but..... I just love this picture of Meah!

Meah's first plane ride! She was AMAZING! Just slept the whole time. I love her!

Log's such a good Dad... held her the whole time!

We had to search for the van somewhere at the Sky Harbor Airport which is HUGE! But we found it eventually thanks to Nate-dawgs good directions.

We drove right from the airport and went to the basketball game and caught the last quarter. Meah just slept amidst all the noise!

Celebrating my Dad's 56th bday! We are so grateful to have him in our lives. He's such a great Dad, husband and grandpa. It was so fun to be able to spend his birthday with him!

Enjoying the pool! I'm sure the neighbors thought we were crazy since it was only like 19 degrees out!

Waiting to board the plane back to the cold.

Me and my girl!

I was kind of nervous going home all alone and trying to take care of Meah and carry everything else, but Meah did great and I had some help along the way thanks to some nice strangers :). This is Meah just sleeping away on the plane ride home. She's such a good girl and we will travel with her any day.. for now. :)

New Years 2012!

After Christmas we then headed on over to Taber to spend time with the Baldrys! Everyone was there, so it was great to see all the family on both sides over the holidays. We did lots of fun things such as... went skating, swimming, eating and just hanging out too! We also had Meah's baby blessing on one of the days we were there, which was an awesome day! We were all gearing up for our trip to AZ together the next week though! Woohoo!

All the kids jumpin and playing around on Amy's bed with some primary songs pumping :)

Auntie Amy and Meah!

We were able to celebrate this little guys birthday on New Years Eve. He is such a good boy and we love him lots!

We were able to go and visit G & G Wolsey while we were in Cardston. It was so fun to see them and wish we could go and visit them more often. We sure do love them!

Blessing Day

Meah's blessing was such a special day for our little family. We had it on December 29th and it was held at my parents house in Taber. It was great to have most of our immediate family there, Logan's cousin Brock, as well as two wonderful Grandmas. For records sake... in the circle was Logan, Nathan, Bryan, Darin, Mike, Dusty, Brock and both our Dads. We feel so blessed to have such amazing families and to always feel of their support. It was fun to have our two families together too and for them to get to know each other a little better. Logan gave such a beautiful blessing and I feel so blessed to have a husband who strives to do what is right each day and who holds the priesthood worthily. I love him more each day and I am grateful that Meah has such an awesome Dad!

Meah looks grumpy in most of these pictures since we kept taking her soother out :). But she was a trooper and was quiet through the blessing! We just love her so much!

Christmas 2012

This Christmas was a great one! We were able to spend it with ALL of the Orr's! It was so fun to be with everyone for Christmas! It had been quite a while since all the siblings were there for a Christmas. We had a lot of fun! We went to the YMCA and played squash and played some soccer, did some last minute Christmas shopping, and went caroling with all the Aunts, Uncles, and cousins on the Orr side on the 23rd (they sounded AMAZING). On Christmas Eve we were able to to do the nativity, Santa came to visit the kids, and enjoyed a delicious dinner together! As well we did our gift exchange with each other, and that has always been a favorite part of Christmas of mine since we attach a nice letter to the gift... it's always such a great night! There was also a lot of ping pong that went down over Christmas which is always a good time. It was a wonderful Christmas together and we are grateful we were able to spend some time with everyone since Keeyah will be heading off on her mission to ZAMBIA in May. We will sure miss her!! Thanks to Joce and Laurry for making this Christmas such a memorable one!
