Whipperman/Romero Christmas Card

So last Friday my parents and Kyle's parents were up to something and would not let anyone come over to their houses. I was home alone with Ezra while Kyle had to work and wanted to go up to my parents house so they could keep me company. Well, they told me "no" and said "sorry, we have plans and you can't come!" I was like, "Oh fine, be that way!" So I just hung out with Ez, wrapped Christmas presents, and watched Christmas cartoons!
So Yesterday, Sunday, we had our families over for dinner and while at the dinner table, our parents presented us with THIS!

This is what they were up to! Making a Christmas card from the 4 of them! They bought themselves matching footie jammies and had a hay day taking pictures! Can't wait to see what they come up with next year!

Family Pics

Last week I decided that we needed to take family pics since our 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY was on Dec 12th and Ezra just turned 6 months (and we needed a Christmas card picture). We had about 20 minutes before my brother had to be to work and Ezra had a Dr. appt. so we ran up to the old dam by my parents house in the FREEZING weather and quickly took a few shots. You can see Ezra started to get a red little nose after a minute...we tried to keep a blanket on him between background changes but he didn't seem to mind the cold! Here is what we got!

It was hard to get his attention and we were all so cold so we just took the pics and got back in the car as fast as we could. It was in the teens that day....brrrr!

I can't believe we have been married for 7 years already! Crazy....we are an old married couple! It has been the best 7 years ever!

Random post!

Anna and Ezra! These two kiddos are so cute I just had to post a few pics of them!
Anna loves to pose or make funny faces for pictures!

Another Anna pose! Ezra's a little distracted!

Yet another Anna pose!

And another Anna face!

I love his little smile and bright eyes!

We celebrated my moms birthday at our house a few weeks ago. We had Pizza, cake, and ice cream. This is my sad attempt at a cake!

The gang just hangin out at the party!

We gave Ez green beans for the first time yesterday and he LOVED them! He makes such a mess when he eats!

Whenever I would come in with the spoon he would jump forward at it!

The next post is also a new one so be sure to check it out too!

Park City

The second week in November my family headed up to Park City for a week to stay in my Parents timeshare. We just relaxed, swam, ate, shopped, and browsed around main street.
Patrick and Kyle walking down main street.
While we were there, we celebrated my Brother Patrick's 21st Birthday!

Ezra just hangin out in his bumbo in his jammies!

Kyle, Shaun, Patrick, and my Mom just hanging out at the condo.

We went to Kimball Arts Center on main street to see a Lego display...it was pretty amazing! It was all done by one guy.

This is all made of Legos including the floor, furniture, picture, easel, and fruit bowl! It was pretty cool!

This was also amazing!

I really liked this mirror image!

THE HOMECOMING....Waiting for Elder Romero to arrive...we didn't make a banner so on the way to the airport I made a sign on the back of his flight itinerary! We mixed it all up and this lady kept trying to correct us as though we didn't know it was wrong...it was pretty funny!

Nic(friend), Me, Shaun (bro-in-law), and Loni (sis-in-law)

Siblings...Mandy, Patrick, and Me!

I had been wanting to go get pics taken of Ezra in his halloween costume but instead I just decided to get some things I had around the house and take my own...they arent the very best but they are cute anyway!

He's coming home!!!

My brother Patrick is finally coming home from his mission in Costa Rica. His plane gets in tonight at 11:10 pm, so that stinks that its so late! My Dad went down 2 weeks ago to get some missionary experience and to pick him up. They have been able to travel back to a lot of his areas and do lots of fun things. My brother was released to my Dad when he got there so my Dad was his Sr. Companion! They couldn't get on the same flight home but they arrive only 9 min. apart so thats good. Plus they both have a layover in Texas, but one is in Dallas and one is in Houston...bummer! Here are some pics from the last 2 weeks and the last 2 years!
My Dad and Patrick with some of the people!
The day after my Dad got there they went and bunjee jumped. My brother had been planning it for months and since he was released to my Dad it wasn't against the rules anymore!
Patrick's Jump!

Ronnie's jump!

My Dad checkin out the view!

Patrick with some members...he is holding a bird.

He has always wanted a monkey so every chance he got to hold one, he took!

The beautiful Costa Rican shore line!

Swinging on a natural swing over the ocean!

A baptism.

We are super excited to see him tonight! We have all sorts of fun things planned for this weekend but we ran into a small little bump...my Niece, my Mom, and I all caught the Swine flu!!! Luckily its a very mild case, but still! Kyle is sick too but he tested negative for it and he was sicker than me...go figure! Luckily Ezra is not sick so we just hope he doesn't get it! I have been washing my hands 400 times a day and wearing a mask when I get somewhat close to him. No Ezzy kisses for me...its killing me!
