We visited our friend Paul in southern Nevada one evening while we were down in St. George for my Fall Break. Here are some photos of the pizza oven he built in the backyard. The food was amazing.

I had a fun Halloween party with some of the girls in my complex. We had home made chili and took photos of our babies in their Halloween costumes. It was a lot of fun. It was more work than I had anticipated but a couple good friends helped out and we pulled it off. Thanks everybody who came!
So lately my sister has been stealing photos from my photo blog http://ravenbergphotography.blogspot.com/
So I called her on and it turns out that not only did she put it up on her blog, but she published them too. So this little photo of Mary down bellow is in a magazine being circulated to every scrap book store across Europe. I didn't even know that my little girl was so famous! Oh, and the paper is the latest from cosmo cricket check them out here http://cosmocricket.com/

This video was taken a while ago, but it was so cute I made Jon post it. Since it's been a while since we last wrote. Hope you like it!
Mary still hasn't taken her first unassisted steps, she can however climb. She loves to climb up onto the computer chair and then play with the computer. Apparently this is what she thinks grown ups do all day long.
For her birthday we bought her a used doll, and she loves it. I first knew that we had to get her a doll when she stole a little girl's doll during sacrament meeting and refused to give it back. And I must say I am a very proud mommy that Mary is taking such very good care of her little baby. She loves to hold it and pat it's back. I find it to be the cutest thing ever. And just yesterday I caught her feeding it from her sippy cup. I just had to grab the camera and get it on video!
These are in reverse, but oh well.
When we were down in St. George we were able to see both grandparents and have them over to cellebrate Mary's Birthday. I wanted to make her a bunny cake since her actual birthday is on Easter. She had been eyeing her cake all day long. Everytime I lifted her up to table height she would want to touch it, but I didn't let her until it was time. Then when it was time she was a little timid to actually dig into the cake. And once she did she was quite a lady about it, she only attacked one bunny ear leaving the rest of the cake for the grown up to eat. What a nice baby!
A couple days I ago I found some of my old toy cameras. They actually work as cameras, or they did before Mary was playing with them, but they are plastic like toys. She loved them! I think she's going to grow up to be a photographer like her mommy! When I showed Jon this video he said, "so did you make this video just so you could taunt Mary?" I guess I kinda did...I read in a baby book that its a sign of development when your baby can object to something without crying. Just look how advanced Mary is!
Mary has had an ear infection so I have been giving her the dreaded bubblegum flavored medicine. One of Mary's many talents is being able to spew the stuff five feet into the air. So when she had to take the horrid concoction for the second time in her life I had our ritual down pact. I found our ugly towel to shield our carpet from the fountian of pink gue. Place Mary on it and then wait for the impending screams. Once you get a good loud open mouth scream I would quickly jam my finger into her mouth. With my finger keeping her mouth open I would then insert the seringe and inject the pink medicine into her grawling mouth. At which point she would spit it back at me. Until one day we discovered that she LIKED to give it to herself. Sure the wicked taste still made her shutter, but she loved being a big girl. Just watch how painless this ritual became once she could give it to her self.
She is into everything. While up at Julie's she loved getting up and playing the piano. She also loved to army scoot into Abby's room and play her guitar. I think she might have some of her father's musical tallent. Being able to pul to standing has made life with Mary a little bit harder. Know almost nothing is out of her reach. She is still a very curious baby.
Finally I'm posting some of these photos. Over the break Nicole and Michelle and I got to together and hung out with our babies. It was a lot of fun to talk and go out to lunch. I remember my life without a baby. I remember one time in particular I had a sister call me and talk for a while. When I got off the phone one of my roommates asked, "who was that?-- they talked forever!" I replied, "It's my sister, I think she gets bored of just talking to babies all day so she decided to call me." I must agree that since I've had a baby I starve for communication with the outside world. I now love when my sisters call and I love getting together with friends. Especially friends with babies. Because I might not always appreciate talking to Mary, but I do love talking about Mary.I'm sure that I've bored many a stranger, family, and friends by doing this. But it is especially fun to talk to Nicole and Michelle because our babies are so close in age--and we all love to talk about our babies! Nicole and Michelle have the cutest little boys! It's fun to see the babies interact with each other. It was so nice to go out and have a good time.
My sister is a wonderful cook, and because I'm struggleing she has created a blog just for me. Not everyone can make bread that a toaster can't pop up, but I can! Jon says he likes it because, "It doesn't get smooshed in my backpack" He's going to make a great lawyer one day! The blog has step by step instructional photos for the reading impaired--me.
Mary has learned to open cupboards. I would write more but I have to go clean up some pots and pans....videos...and whatever cupboard she has opened while I'm busy cleaning up her other messes!
To sleep through the night.
She had it down once, but with traveling and teething it has become a thing of the past. Wish her luck, I'm going to need it.

We had a white Christmas down in St. George with my parents. Mary loves opening presents...I think she mostly loves eating paper. She also loved getting into the tree and derailing Grandma's train and pulling off the ornaments. Other than these few naughty things Mary has been very good girl this year so Santa brought her some blocks, My Little Ponies, and some chew toys. Grandma Ravenberg gave Mary the cutest little quite book that she made. Jon's parents gave her some little story books. She loves all her gifts! And pulls them out daily for me to put back away. Jon and I got a wii and a wii fit. We have loved playing it and had a blast with it up in Bennington. Jon's syblings have created a lot of high scores that I may never live up to. I will write more later. For now enjoy these photos from our Christmas day.
