Poor little guy!

After having a yummy lunch at Durangos and running around the Temple grounds with our very good friend Apes, we decided to stop at Walmart to get a few things. We had one of those really annoying carts that had a bad wheel and shook...you know the ones I am talking about...well I guess the shaking of the cart was perfect for Brody! It rocked him right to sleep! Poor little guy missed his nap earlier today and he couldn't wait any longer to get to sleep!!!

Braelyn's Barbie

Braelyn got one of those cheap barbies from her grandma in a bag of toys. She has torn it completely apart. I find an arm here, a leg there, a head... she is so destructive!!! It is not the only toy she has destroyed. She got a toy kitchen for Christmas and has broken out the oven window and torn all the stickers off. Good thing it was only ten bucks... what am I going to do with her?!

Who Needs a Public Pool?

       Who needs the community center when you have a sprinkler?!?! You don't have to pay to get in, your kids can't get too far away from you, they aren't going to fall in and drown, and you don't even have to worry about swimmer diapers!! The kids had a blast! Brody spent most of his time staying away from it, he wasn't sure what to think! Brae thought it was great!

It's been awhile!

Hello! It has been awhile since I have been on my blog. I figured I would just get on here and update what is happening in our lives. We are back in LaVerkin, and have been since last April. We will be moving sometime in the future (time frame is a little hazy...) but we are not going to leave this area again for awhile. We love it in Southern Utah! Braelyn is now 2 and a half and Brody is almost 14 months! Brae is talking a lot even though she can be really hard to understand...she is getting better. Her favorite movie is Cars. She is my big helper and likes to make sure Brody is doing what he is told to do! Brody has been walking since the begining of the month (April) and it is still weird to see him walking all over the place! He is starting to copy Braelyn and he says things like momma, dadda, and banana. He has a very vibrant personality that really keeps life interesting! Matt is doing well...minus the puffy cheeks! He just has his wisdom teeth removed. He is working hard and long hours...I try not to complain about him being gone a lot, because I know there are so many people out there without jobs right now. I am doing good as well...a little stressed...but well! I am hoping to lose some weight soon so I will keep you posted...

Here ya go Becky!

I am sure everyone has given up looking at my blog because lets face it... I suck. So this is for Becky who still checks my blog once a week knowing I don't ever get on here!!!

As you know, Brody is here! Here is a newborn picture of him.

He has two teeth

and can sit up all by himself!

He is now 6 months old! Sorry everyone! ... I mean Becky! =)

He is Almost Here!!!

So March 2nd is the due date... that is 27 days away. 27!!! It seems like a long time... but at the same time that is only 3 weeks! I have gotten past the scared point and am excited to meet our little boy. I am hoping he is a spitting image of his dad... butt chin and all!! =) I am down to going to the doctor every week, starting this week, which I didn't even make it to last pregnancy. My water broke 17 days before Braelyn was due. I can't help but wonder if it is going to be the same this time. Will he be early? Will my water break? Who knows. This whole pregnancy has been so diffrent from Braelyns that I can't even begin to expect anything! I am so ready for it to be over! I have decided that the Lord gives us this last month for a real burst of encouragement to go through labor... not that I didn't want him out the whole time, but this last month is the worst!!!!

Still not sure on a name. Guess we will see what Matt blesses him as!

Growing Up...

Our little girl is now 15 months old and walking! She started walking about two and a half weeks ago just a little here and there and now she won't stop! She loves trying to run. She gets overexcited easy and falls over! It's pretty funny. She is also starting to say things like ball, thank you, blankey, and hello. To the untrained ear they all sound like dada... but I understand her =). Tonight she is sleeping in her toddler bed... so we will see what the night has in store. Here are some pictures of her walking and of her sleeping (I was super sneaky).
