Lots of nieces and nephews

It's been a very long time since I've updated this, I'm sorry! 

We had a new Nephew born this weekend.  Joshua Steven Parent.  He was born 6/4/11 at 11:11am 8lb 1.2 ounces. Look how perfect he is!

And since he was coming into the world this weekend we got to keep his big brother Michael for the night.  We went and made a build-a-bear, and Michael wished on the bears heart that Joshua would be a big brother like him someday.  Michael picked out the bears outfit and chose some bunny slippers for him.  Then named the bear Bunny.

Michael is loving being a big brother.  He kept telling us just how much he loved his baby.  When we got to the hospital to see the baby and Sheree he walked up to the nurses station and said "I am my Mommy's son!" when the nurse asked him if he was the big brother he pointed to his shirt that said BIG BRO and said "SEE!"

We have had another new Niece born. Mia Bella Gray.  we had her blessing this weekend as well.

We painted our Kitchen and our living room.  I love it it's so much better than the white walls.

We were sealed in the Bountiful Temple! (3/26/11)

Andrea taught her last lesson to the 9 year olds in the Bountiful Shadows ward! No that was not me who cried through sacrament after I was released! Okay yes it was... I'm going to miss those amazing kids!  They ask super hard questions which can be frustrating but I love it!(3/27/11)

Getting sealed was an amazing experience!! We're so so happy to get to spend all of eternity together!  Its such an amazing and special thing!  We're so happy so many friends and family members were able to come with us!  It was a beautiful day!

We have a new Niece Stella Jean Gray, she was born on 1/6/2011.  She missed sharing my birthday by 2 days.

We found out Sheree is having another boy his name will be Joshua Steven Parent and we can't wait to meet him in June!

Holidays:

We had a great Thanksgiving with Seth's family.  His Grandma rented out a church to fit us all and my mom went with us. The food was super yummy and it was fun to see everyone!

Christmas was CRAZY!  We started at Seth's parents at 8 am.  We had way good breakfast and hung out with most of the family, Sheree, Wayne and Michael went to St. George for Christmas and we missed them.  We got a really neat Multimedia Art work from Andrea's friend Rebecca Cooper and Andrea gave it to Seth on Christmas with his family.  He LOVES it.

After that we headed over to Andrea's Dad's for snacks and a MUCH smaller present opening and hanging out.  Seth got a helicopter that he loves to use to torture Kody. Andrea Got the Best PJ's EVER!!!! they are so comfy and warm she never takes them off!

AND THEN...... We went to Andrea's Moms for dinner and presents.  we had lots of laughs and fun!  Jamie joined us at this one! We had super yummy lasgna and boccia's breadsticks! Andrea got a Nook from her mom and its super amazing!!   Then it was off to work for Andrea.

We spent New Years Eve with Jenn, Brad and Jamie.  We spent the night playing Just Dance and eating pizza! It was sooo much fun!!

Andrea's Birthday was Awesome.  We went and saw Tangled which by the way is super fantastic, then we went to dinner at Red Robin with Brit, Aaron, Jamie, Brandi, Kayzin and Sophie.  The next day Andrea's mom took her to lunch and on Sunday her Dad and Yalanda had us over for dinner and cake!  Thank you to everyone who made it perfect!

Updates:

Seth:
Seth was ordained an Elder by his dad on 12/26, which means we are one step closer to going to the temple!!! Andrea is so super proud of him! he's so amazing!  Seth has been doing well at work and just recently got an awesome review! 

Andrea:
Andrea is now teaching 9 year olds in church and so far loving it. she's enjoying being 25 for the second year in a row ;) Work is good and she's hoping to go to the new Centerville theatre in November. She went to two fantastic Book signings.  one for Richelle Mead and one for Bree Despain.  Also her WIP is coming along splendidly!  Andrea's Grandpa moved back to Utah and her uncle came for a visit, we were happy to see him and glad to have grandpa back!
