Ogden Temple!

We have made it one of our goals for this year to go
to the temple every month. We are also going to try
to go to as many different temples as we can this
year too. January's ward temple day was at the
Ogden temple because the Logan temple was
closed at the time. We drove down with Brittany
and Justin to go shopping before and then we met up
with the ward. After the session we all went to dinner
at The Pizza Factory. It was a lot of fun! We really enjoy
going to the temple and feeling how strong the spirit is there
and being able to escape the influences of the world for
a time. We can also see the blessings that come from
going there as well. We are excited to meet this
goal and to see which temples we can visit!!

Rodeo!

One of the first dates that Brady and I went on
when he got home from his mission was the rodeo
at the Golden Spike Arena in Ogden and we
were able to go to it again this year!

My family really likes this rodeo and we have gone
every year for a couple of years now. It is fun to
go with everyone and it is a good rodeo!

Brittany's Baby Shower

Brittany is having her baby girl soon so
we figured we better throw her a shower!

I have decided to make the presents I give into the
name of the baby but seeing how they do not
have a name picked out yet I went with baby girl!

It was a lot of fun. We played a Finish the Nursery
Rhyme Game...

and pictionary!

We are all excited for Brittany's
baby to be part of the family!

Hardware Ranch!

It is starting to look like a yearly tradition for us
to go to Hardware Ranch. I really enjoy going up in
the canyon and seeing all the elk. It is cool to see
so many of them together in one spot.

This year we went with my family. It was
really nice because we got the sled to ourselves.

I was freezing! I guess I needed to wear more layers!Like Nathan, he had plenty of layers on.These were the horses that pulled our sled.While we were there, a young calf was looking for
it's mom but it couldn't find it so it kept calling for her.

Snow Shoeing!

While the girls went to a baby shower for Brittany,
the guys(Brady, Dan, and Justin) went snow shoeing!
Dan's family provided the snow shoes for them.

They went down the canyon and hiked around Sherwood Hills.

Justin posing for his picture.

Aspen even got to go but they didn't have small
enough snow shoes to fit her paws.

Brady's Birthday!

Brady turned 22!! Earlier in the week Rick and Julie
took the family to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate all the birthdays!
Then they took us to see Princess and the Frog! It was a fun night!

We were in West Valley on Brady's
Birthday so we started the day off
by having breakfast at McDonald's!

Brady wanted a Skor cake
so he made himself one!

This is everyone enjoying his Birthday Cake!

We drove back to Logan and had Panda Express
for dinner. Then I took him to see Sherlock Holmes!
Happy Birthday Brady J!

Our First Christmas!

This Christmas was really great!
We started it off by having mom take
our Christmas card picture!

It is tradition to get a new pair
of pajamas on Christmas Eve!

We did Christmas Eve and Christmas
morning at my parent's house.
Then the day with Brady's parents,
and visiting his grandparents.
Then we had the Nuttall Christmas party,
and stayed the next few days at Brady's
parent's house.

Nathan's two obsessions this year:
Trains and Elmo!

On Christmas Eve Santa came to the house!

Our Christmas tree is little but I really like it!
It was a really fun Christmas and
I am excited for the ones to come!!
