Christmas in Utah!

We are in Utah visiting my parents and we are having a wonderful time so far. The only downside is that our baggage got lost. STINKY! We haven't had it for five days! Barry's, Brooklyn's, and my clothes are missing. Oh well, at least we have some travel vouchers. The kids love spending time with their Grandma and Grandpa Stewart and Aunt Mae Mae. On Sunday afternoon my Grandparents, Jim and Sharon Fitch came over for a visit. It was the first time that they had met Lincoln and Brooklyn. I think that Brooklyn looks so much like her Great Grandpa, she took to him very well too! We had a fun time with them. The kids were

My brother is a dork!

My brother, Ryan, came and visited us for the Thanksgiving weekend. I just happened to have my blog up and I was signed in. I had to walk away from the computer for a sec and so he decided that he was going to be funny and write "I tooted." That's my brother for you. Love you Ry!

I tooted!

My kids doing tricks

Both Brooklyn and Lincoln did some new tricks today. Brooklyn started holding her head up while she is on her belly....yay Brooklyn! Lincoln showed me his disappearing act. He tried to close himself in the fridge. Not so yay for Lincoln, but at least he thought it was fun.

family pictures

We recently went to the beach with the Alvarez family to take pictures. They took our pictures and we took their pictures. Now I know that those of you who are non floridians are going to think that I am a wimp, but it was freezing cold that day. I think it was like 60 degrees that day maybe colder. The killer was the wind. Anyway we decided to go anyway, but it didn't help our family pictures. Brooklyn was crying most of the time. She had never really been exposed to that kind of cold before. The boys were just space cadets that day. We might try taking pictures another day. We'll see.

Little Piggies

So I decided that Brooklyn needed some pig tails. I think she is going to take after my sister Chelsea. She used to scream bloody murder whenever mom would do her hair. I have tried doing piggies before, but she sees the comb and she just starts crying. I think i will just stick to the easy bows until she gets a little more hair.

Leo the Lion

Braden was able to bring home his class mascot. We were able to take Leo the Lion to all sorts of places. We took him to places that started with L's. We took him to a Latin market. We took him to Lowe's were he went to the lumber yard and sat on a lawn mower. We even took Leo to Braden's friend Lilly's house. Braden had a lot of fun with Leo.
