Christmas 2010

This year Christmas was at the Hutton's house. We had a lot of fun enjoying everyone's company and eating yummy food together. Mom and Dad sure know how to spoil us rotten!

Mom (far left) made all of the girls matching aprons. She is an amazing seamstress and puts so much thought into all of her gifts.

Wonderful gifts from mom and dad. Making faces for the camera!

Our nephew Christopher received snow gear from grandma and grandpa. Craig (dad) decided to get him in his hat just because it got us to laugh.

Here Sarah and I are taking a picture of each other taking a picture.

Cool Looks!

Paul doesn't care for his picture to be taken often except when there are props.

Paul is showing off his new Christmas gloves. Those are some nice gloves.

We were walking around Walmart one night when we stopped to check out the nice jewelry. We found some cute glasses and a rainbow bracelet that reminded us of our trip to Cape Cod in the fall of 2010. Paul had to try them on. Paul sure does look good in these.

Paul and Cami went Christmas shopping at the Recreation Outlet in American Fork. When you go shopping for clothes you typically try them on first to make sure they fit and they look good. I made sure I looked good in this sleeping bag before I purchased it!

BYU/Utah Football Game-The Aftermath

November 27, 2010.

Sarah, Craig, Christopher, Gary, and Raquel visited us to watch the BYU vs. Utah Football game. Shortly after the game was over Christopher woke up from his nap.

Christopher jumped on Paul's lap and started singing songs as it was part of his master plan to ruin the rest of Paul's afternoon. Paul had mentioned to me that Christopher was giving him the "bug-eye" which Paul mistakenly took as a sleepy look before Christopher took his nap.

Paul thought it was all fun and games with Christopher on his lap singing songs, and then suddenly Paul said to the rest of the group, "He feels really warm on his backside!" Paul looked down on his lap and saw a big wet spot. Christopher did the most unimaginable thing- He peed on his favorite uncle.

We all a good laugh at Paul's expense especially because the BYU vs. Utah game didn't turn out as it should have.

Thanks Christopher for the laughs!

Adobe Halloween

This year I was able to participate in Adobe's Halloween celebration. This is a really big deal here in the Utah office. Each department takes more than a week decorating their designated area. We get more than $1000.00 per area to decorate and most everyone dresses up. For the 28th and 29th there was no work done. We just decorated and participated in activities put on by the company.

My area was decorated like Shrek's forest. It was really neat. I rented my costume from the Hale Center theater. I was the Narcotic Sleeping Beauty. It was such a blast. We were able to have some of our family members come through. There were a few thousand people that came through.

This is Farquad torturing the Gingerbread Man.

These are my gal pals Kathy and Kelly

Adoption Process

Family and Friends,

Cami and Paul are getting closer. Thanks to Angel and the wonderful pictures she took we have completed our profile and submitted it to LDS Family Services for them to process the paperwork and complete the report.

Paul and Cami have just a few more steps with our case worker, Adrienne, before our profile can be posted on itsaboutlove.org. At that time we'll let you know our profile number and also post it on our blog for all to see.

Thanks to all for your support!

Paul's Sesamoidectomy

Paul had surgery on not one but two of his feet in August. (I guess that makes way for more than two feet).

I always forget how difficult it is coming out of surgery. I told Cami she could just pick me up at the hospital after surgery was over. She decided to take two days off for my surgery (Women's intuition).

Thanks to Cami for taking two days off I could go to the bathroom and eat food since I was stuck on the couch with two swollen feet. We used the train method for me to get to the bathroom since I wasn't good at just balancing all my weight on the heels of my feet.

Here is a picture of the bones of the foot. I'm pointing to the tibial sesamoid bone that was removed from each of my feet.

Here is a picture of my foot about 1 week after the surgery.
