The Beautiful Jacee Lou!

I just love this picture of Jacee. She is growing up so fast!

Daddy's Helper!

We were hanging pictures in her room, and of course she wanted in on the action!

Our puppy Molly

So I surprised Nils with a chocolate lab this Jan. He's been wanting one since he found out that his friend's dog was pregnant. I kept telling him no, since I'm not much of an animal person. Nils went on TDY to Florida and while he was gone I decided that it would be fun to surprise him. So I talked to his friend and I got the last chocolate lab puppy. The day Nils came home we went over to their house for pizza and poker. I brought the puppy out and handed her to Nils. He was like 'Oh she's cute, not I just have to convince Andi to get her'. I stood up and said 'Well since I have some money in my purse, I guess I'll pay for her'. I handed the friend the money, but Nils still didn't get it! I said 'I don't think he gets it.' Then Nils looked up and was like 'WHAT!?!' He FINALLY understood that the puppy was his! He was so happy and excited! It took us a few minutes to decide her name, but we ended up naming her Molly. It's been fun having her, but it's also been a lot of work. Nils and Jacee love her, and I'm working on that part ;)

Jacee's 2nd Birthday!

Jacee turned 2 on Jan. 5, 2010! I still can't believe that she is 2!!! Nils took the day off from work and we went and had some fun! We went down to Sandy and ate at Johnny Carino's, and if course it was delicious! After that we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. We have been there before but this time Jacee seemed to really enjoy it and she loved the fish! Later that evening we had dinner as a family, then some yummy cake and ice cream. It was really nice to just spend the whole day together, just the 3 off us!

Elder Hulse Returns!

KC came home December 30, 2009! It is SO good to have him home! He got to meet Jacelyn, Dylon and Kaeleb finally! He is still  the same ol KC just a bit more spiritual ;) We were able to come and spend the weekend with the family! There were so many stories and memories told! It was so great to have the whole family together again! With 6 kids and 2 parents that's not an easy task!

Christmas 2009

So it's taken me forever to update this...but at least I'm doing it! Christmas 09 was very exciting for us! Jacee was almost 2 and we knew that she would understand better about what was going on! On Christmas morning she ran straight to her power wheels! She just wanted to ride it and not open anything else! Finally we got her to look  at her other presents! She got a lot of cute clothes, and fun toys! We ended up going home to Idaho for the weekend, even though we said we weren't going to! But we wanted to be around family. It was a great Christmas and we can't wait til next year!
