Zoo Lights 12/27

We went to Zoo Lights for the first time... and in spite of the cold we loved it!!

I wished I could have been in Michaels shoes....all bundled up and warm

afterwards his little hands were freezing so I told him he could wear my gloves....he thought he was pretty cool with his monster hands and didn't take them off til we got home




I almost forgot one of my favorite Christmas time pics! This is Michael posing by his little christmas tree in his room! He loves his tree...each year he gets a new ornament for it...he's got elmo and cookie monster and now this year he got a Mater (Cars) ornament! He looks so stinkin cute cheesing in his Mater Jammies!

pic has been censored :)

This is probably one of the greatest pics ever! He looks like a little cartoon! What a goof ball!

ps. He is actually in the bath....does anyone else have issues with a two year old hating the bath? ...it is a constant battle!


me being the lame-o that I am realized that I have a nice camera now and when I used my brain I realized the pics our probably to big to put on the blog hence the reason it wasn't working! So my cute little brover should me how to resize them and we are good as gold now! My blogging will continue! :)

Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas....Michael was at such a fun age! He enjoyed opening presents, eating treats, and hanging with family!

showing off his new Christmas jammies!


waking up Christmas morning


Santa was good to Michael!
opening what ended up being his absolute favorite gift from santa...Horton Hears a Who... we watch it all the time! He loves elephants and he calls them Iya's (It stemed from ela....don't ask me how) anyways so he calls it Iya show and the way he says it sounds like a$$hole...its kindof funny... not so much when he's yelling it in church or at the store though!


This is his how excited he got when we put the show in....and he saw the Iya!
To the Ferguson Fam's:

Michael loves his mickey mouse table he got from Aunt Mo Mo and all his cars he got from Gama and Gampa!

While we were playing a game I look over and see that my son has helped himself to a snack thats as big as his head!

the whole crew

On to the next stop...doesn't he look excited....

The Ellis Fam:
Michael loves his Mater car grandpa gave him!! He LOVES Mater!

Uncle Ken Ken and Aunt Ca Ca opening presents!

An Emily thought....

As mentioned previously I'm currently reading the book Where Angels Fall and this morning as I was reading I came to a part that hit me hard and I thought I would share. A little insight to what is going on.... Lucifer and one of his followers are watching these two brothers Ammon and Luke ( who are righteous young men) and they are discussing how they can corrupt them and lead them down the wrong path.....

" Lucifer glared at the brothers. "I wish I could kill them," he growled. "If I could, I would. I would torture them, beat them, and cause them great pain. I would make them cry for mercy, then beat them some more. I would make them hate their bodies as much as I hate not having one. I could have been their master! But no, they didn't want me. They wanted to learn and grow for themselves. So that is fine. I will teach them. I will teach them of misery and despair!" "

that line really struck a cord with me......I would make them hate their bodies as much as I hate NOT having one. I think of all the self image issues we have in this world. Too fat...Too thin....Ugly...big nose...big chin....big butt...etc. How the media portrays how we should look and if we don't then we should use money for expensive surgerys and treatments so we can look that way. I think of the times I complain about my stretch marks and saggy belly skin and really I need to realize I have those because Heavenly Father blessed me with a beautiful little boy. My saggy boobs....and realize I was healthy and able to nurse my baby....I know there are some out there that couldn't. My pasty white skin and realize I come from a wonderful heritage and have an amazing family who I'm close with and who love me! My too tight jeans.... and realize that I like chocolate... simple as that! Just all the many body image issues we all go through. Satan wants a body......he is soooo extremely jealous of OUR bodies..... so he puts these blasted thoughts and feelings in our heads! Don't let satan win!

Sorry to go all drama....but I know everyone struggles with this at some time in there life... so I thought I'd share! We are who we are and we are here for a reason.... I hope to remember that!

Ok its official....I have decided to become a better blogger! It is time and here is my reasoning....

I've been keeping a journal/picture/momento book type thing for michael. Which practically looks like a blog because I'm not good at just journaling so its got pictures and things glued in... so its like a journal want to be scrapbook but without the cutsie stuff...you get the gist! Anyway soo I'm way behind on his book because I'm bad at getting pics printed out to stick in it. Sooo blogging I think is the way to go... (ok amy you convinced me with the whole blurb book) I can just do my thingy on this and then get it printed out in a book at the end of the year and presto!! So you all get excited for the new and improved FergyFam blog! It will probably be more a Michael blog since I'll be replacing the book....so get ready to see lots of my cute little munchkin!
