Short trip to St George after Christmas!

Chloie and I went down to St George to see my cousin Sharise, who was home from Texas for Christmas, and to see My cousin Dan, his wife Chantelle, and their daughter Haiven who was turning 1 on New years Eve!
I got to spend some time catching up with Sharise, which was fabulous!
We got to see my Cousin Danette and her cute little family (and Cute little Baby Bump!) Who I haven't seen in a REALLY long time!
And I got to see my cousin Brittany and her cute family (who has got a little one on the way too! :))
My cousin Des and her family were down in St George too, as well as my Grandparents!
We spent quite a bit of time at my Aunt Pauline and Uncle Ronnie's house with everyone! It was one BIG, fun, family gathering! haha!
It was a lot of fun seeing them all and I wish I could see them all more often!

We weren't able to stay for Haiven's birthday bash, but we got to spend a little bit of time
with her before we left (she had the flu so we didn't get to see her for very long). I got a couple pictures of the two of them together and as I was loading them onto my computer I saw a picture from when they were really little and couldn't believe how much they both have changed over the past year!

CRAZY, HUH?! 

Crock-pot Apricot Chicken!

This is a recipe that Ben and I love! It is so easy and delicious! So I thought I should share it!

I put two (or three) Chicken breasts into the crock-pot.

 Then I mix together a 1/2cup of apricot jam or preserves and a pinch of ginger and nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon, along with a table spoon of lemon juice and pour it over the chicken.

I cook it on high in the crock-pot for 4 hours then turn it to low for an additional 30min- an hour. 

Then I shred it and serve it over rice and pair it with a salad. :)

Hope you all get a chance to try this recipe and enjoy it as much as we do!

I let Chloie have some tonight. She cracks me up, she would put a piece in her mouth and say "mmmmm!". :) She is one messy little girl when she eats, hahaha, and gotta LOVE the hair!

Andrus Family Update!

-Chloie is growing up so fast, she Jabbers all the time and says some words (like: "dad" "baba" "yeah" "Bay" and "mama" but only when she cries...) she is a pretty funny little girl. She is so afraid to walk with out her little push walker ( but she lifted it up today and took about 4 steps while she was carrying it). She still doesn't have ANY teeth but she eats just about anything, she just gums her food to death! ha! She waves bye-bye now too and claps whenever we say "yay!". She is just so much fun!
-Baylie spends a LOT of time at our house, we call it Joint custody between my parents and Ben and I. They get her week days and we get her on weekends. :) It's been working out pretty well since we work together at RedLobster and we work pretty much the same shifts! It's been so fun working with my sister. And having her around more is great for Chloie, She LOVES her Aunt Bay!
-We are all so excited about Whitney and Jordan's twins! We have officially started guessing what gender they will be, all of the guys think it will be two boys (based on our twin cousins!) and the women are all agreeing on 1 boy and 1 girl! Guess we will find out on Christmas! :)
-We found out recently that one of Ben's sisters is expecting again, which is exciting too!
-Ben and I are working on reading the entire Book of Mormon together. We recently started running together (Ben HATES running!). Our 3 year anniversary of our first date (Dec. 31st)  is coming up soon which is a bit crazy! I can't believe how fast the past 3 years have gone by! :)
-Jayce was Baptized last week! So proud of him! (can you believe he is 8 already!?!)

Here is a funny video of the Jabber Jaw we call Chloie, and a few pictures too! :)
