Here is a few reasons why I love Winter.







Coming January 1st..... Reasons why I hate winter.

So last night we had our first Ugly sweater party. I had such a good time. and it was pretty fun finding our sweaters. I thought I'd have a wide variety in my parents closet from years past. but I guess they decided to DI them all last year. so I had to go and buy them back. Bailee saw all of our pictures and thought all our sweaters were very cute. so I had to tell her it was actually a "Christmas sweater party" so her feelings wouldn't be hurt.

This is Ryan and my pompous laughter, and smug face, to match our sweaters. although all the girls agreed that my sweater had made it's way back into style. I'm sure 2 years ago it belonged to a sweet little old lady, and now it could be sold at some teeny bopper store in the mall.

Betsy and Diana did a great job as well. Betsy was kind enough to sacrifice her turtleneck to Uglify Ryans sweater a little more. so thanks for that. What you don't see in the picture is the cute little jingle bell sewn to the side. and on Diana's it's covered in the picture but it even has a little elf Button. VERY FESTIVE
And here of coarse we've got the Utah fan and the BYU fan I personally think the RED sweater is hideous!!!!! (really I don't care but I've got to represent for Ryan whoot whoot)

and the grand prize winner are these little numbers by Mike and Heather!!! Nothing can top that vest!!!! and Heather went all out with the pants, hair and earrings!!!

Thanks guys for going all out, you made it fun. I love our Christmas parties. I always have so much visiting with you. And those of you who couldn't make it, we really missed you.
p.s did you notice how beautiful all my friends are even in their ugly sweaters!!!

This Thanksgiving was one of my favorites. We had such a fun time. My cute sister and Brother in law put together the funnest relay race ever. And thanks to my Father in law, we all got some awesome shirts to look the part of a serious racer. I didn't get a good picture of the shirts (maybe if I'm on top of things I'll add a picture later..... way to lazy for that) but the front said "Running of the Bulls!!!" (aka bullocks if you couldn't figure it out) and the back had all of the Bullock kids and their family's names on it. They were DARLING, even the new born babies had one.




so Here are all the Relyas we did.
All the moms of the group (katie, Jordan, Kim, and Lindsay.... started off stretching to prepare.

we had to take 2 babies each, put a diaper on them, dress them, then while carring the babies we ran around some cones, (still with babies in hand) make a peanut butter sandwich and take a bite, put a lid on a sippy cup and finish off by running and touching the gate.
I thought I totally had it in the bag!!! I have a major advantage. I am the only one of those girls who can nurse and make dinner at the same time. Sad to say I totally lost. it took me way to long to put both diapers on the babies and dress them. I have until next year to work up my speed.



The Boy's challenge was to see how many (out of 10) footballs they could get into the bucket. I think Ryan might be embarrassed if I told his number, so I'll leave it at that.


Whitney, Chris, Dillon, and Alex were in the doughnut eating contest. (and Jordan you can thank me later for posting these pictures of your bottom) it was a toss up between Dillon and Whitney.


Ryan, Pat, Michelle, Dean, Kris, and some more of the boys were in an egg toss. Ryan did better at this one. I don't know if you can tell by this picture how far apart Ryan and Jeff were when they were throwing their egg back and forth but it was far.


Bailee, Tyson, Dirk, and Coby all had to run down the yard, put a costume on and run through another obstacle. They did a better job at representing for our family then Ryan and me. I think they took first and second.

This one was so cute. all the 2 year olds, Davis, Olivia, Emmi, and Payton had to take a bucket of four balls and move them too another bucket. They did such a great job, I was surprised they figured it out.




To finish off the relay's we had the kids run a little race to the end of the street and back. They all won these awesome metals. (they have been wearing them every day since)

It was such a fun day!!!! I hope this is our new family tradition!!! so fun.

So of course New Moon night was upon us. and we had a blast!!!!! our Movie didn't start until 12:45 (it was supposed to be right at 12 for the record) so I didn't get home until 3AM!!!! I sure payed for it on Friday....


I loved our shirts. and we had way too much fun coming up with shirt logos.... I feel like I need to clarify, My shirt should say "I'll wear that wolf" but I was trying to make a play on words so It says I'll were that wolf (aka werewolf.) Not that it made sence anyways but now I think it really makes no sense. ... oh well whatever it was still fun.

Ryan is a little jealous of these pictures. but I told him not to worry. first of all Jacob was 8 when we got married, and second of all He is the same age of Ryan's little brother. gross!!!!

on to the actual movie part. LOVED IT. it was so much like the book. I'm sure I'll make it back at least one more time while it's in the theaters. I had chills and butterflies the whole time.

This year for Davis's party we had a balloon lady come and tie balloons for the kids. I think it was a big hit. the kids loved it. and we had such a good time.

Daivs was so cute. I think he was a little overwhelmed by everything. He just sat on the couch and stared at everyone. We couldn't get him to eat cake or open presents for a good half hour. he just wanted to sit and take in all the action.

So our sweet little Davy turned 2 today. he is such a sweet little guy who has added so much happiness our family.
here are a few fun facts about our lovable little guy.
- He loves to snuggle. he will honestly sit on the couch a watch TV with Ryan for a good 30 minutes. he is just so content to snuggle.
- He just recently found out about candy. (thank you halloween) so all day I hear him yell Nanny (candy)
- He LOVES shoes. he loves to try everyone's shoes on and then tell me who's shoes they are.
- He LOVES to look at pictures. he usually says everyone in them are either mommy or daddy, but he also knows and will say sally, papa, grandpa, grandma, wee wee (whitney or chris) ninny(that goes for lindsay or Ashley) Bailee, Tyson, and even Nanna (for hanna montanna) another funny thing about pictures, he usually categorizes the people by their hair, anyone with long blond hair is usually "we we" or mommy, and if it's short hair he calls them sally, we had to laugh he saw a picture of Cinderella's stepmother and Davis yelled SALLY and then another time we saw my great grandma Hinkle's picture and He yelled Sally again, it made me laugh, and depressed my mom.
- although he is a happy sweet little guy, that doesn't mean he isn't BUSY. he loves to get into things and he is a pro at taking cap's off bottles and dumping them out all over them place, so we do have to keep a pretty close watch on him.



Davis LOVES this blanket. it totally makes me laugh. we just happened to bring it home from my mom's one day. it's not even one that was made for him. it was My brother Tyler's from when he was a baby. I don't know Davis just took to it. He LOVES it, and has to take it with him everywhere. so lately I've been calling him Linus (from Charlie Brown)


I can't tell you how fun this little guy is. I don't know if it's because he's my youngest or what but I think I have really been able to enjoy him the most. It's nice to just relax and watch how adorable he is. I think the difference is I don't feel rushed for this little guy to grow up. he's just too much fun. Happy Birthday Davis. We sure love you!!!!!!
