A little bit of everything.. Lots of pictures =)

Going through my phone we did so many fun little things this past summer..

Brynlee did her first year of tball and she seriously loved it.. I think the thought of being out on a wide open field to just run and have fun is every 3 year olds dream. She was on the same team as her cousin krew and friend tylee. They were so cute and really did great for there first year. Bradon was like an asistant coach and was out on 1st base for every game helping out.. She's pretty lucky to have such a rad dad!!

We got to go to a "ufc" thing with my sisters and brother in laws and watch bradon's MMA coach fight.. It was a fun night out with my family.. I love that i have such awesome brother in laws and we all have so much fun together.


































We started working on our basement bathroom.. Little did we know our house would sale in 5 short days.. We were wanting to take it slow, but it didn't work out that way.. Bradon, my dad, father in law and brother in laws helped SOOOO much.. We couldn't have done it without there knowledge and help.. I'm so extremely thankful.. it turned out sooooo good and i was alittle sad we didn't have more time to enjoy it..

























We went on lots of movie dates and dinner dates with cousins.. Brynlee is really into movies and does great, so we thought we would try to taken bryton to one with us.. We went to big hero 6 and bryton did AMAZING.. she had her own bucket of popcorn and her sippy and sat there the whole time.. whenever anything suspensful would come up she would grab bradon's hand and say ohhh nooo.. so much fun..


















































Aunt shirley and uncle B bought us a season pass to the zoo this year so we got to go play there a couple times this year. The girls really have no interest in the animals and just want to play on the playground and animal statuse .

 We celebrated easter and had so much fun.. Spring is one of my family seasons.. It's so beautiful and bright.. I love watching my big beautiful girls grow up and celebrate such fun holidays and traditions.. after they did the easter egg hunt all the cousins on the mathew's side went and played in a dirt pile.. Good thing i'm ok with my kids getting dirty, cause holy cow they were taking dirt baths...

We were able to go to Cancun with our cute friends lisa and landon.. It was so much fun and so crazy.. The memories we made will last a lifetime.. I am so extremely thankful for lisa and so glad she is dating a great guy that bradon really enjoys hanging out with.. I cannot wait for our next adventure the 4 of us =))



























































 Brynlee had her first dentist appt this year.. She did sooo good and has been back a second time this year now.. Both times the dentist said her teeth were so great and no cavitys.. yay for having moms teeth..

We got to go out on fun boating trips with shirley and brandons boat and bradon's parents boat.. we got lucky to have 2 boats we are able to play on all summer long.. the girls love being out in the water and so do there parents..




























We were able to go on our annual lagoon trip for grandpa manuels work party.. It's always so much fun and my parnets enjoy taking the kids so much that this year they're getting season passes for all the monkeys so they can take them whenever.. how cute =) brynlee is a little dare devil and has no fear.. it freaks me out just a little...

We Took a trip down to cannoville/ Bryce canyon for grandma shirleys family reunion. My grandma grew up with bryce canyon in her backyard.. It is such a beautiful place and brynlee fell in love with the red rocks.. We went to the little town rodeo and the kids were able to go out on the dirt and case a cow with money on it.. Brynlee thought that was pretty cool. The girls both did sooo good with traveling.. I'm so lucky to have such low key babies.. My grandma's brother in law still lives down there and just turned 90 .. He is sooo cute and has the most amazing garden in his back yard. the girls loved helping him picked all the fun vegetables to take home.

Earlier this year i was really struggling with goals/weight loss. i would set  my mind to something but some way i would loose all thought and fall off the wagon..  I have always hated running.. even when i could do it back in high school on drill i just never enjoyed it.. I had done 2-3 5ks and they were hard.. they really pushed me and i struggled.. I told bradon i wanted to run a 10k for a goal and actually do a 8 week training for it.. Of course he supported my goal and so did my cute lisa and landon.. They all trained to do it with me.. Shirley joined us on race day too and what an awesome horrible hard moment that race was... I trained all 8 weeks and didn't miss one training day.. I was feeling great.. I did most of my training inside on a treadmill.. almost everyone told me i was crazy and they hated running on the treadmill.. for some reason i liked it a little more.. Come race day i realized i should have trained outside on hills and more uneven grounds cause it was night and day difference.. I did great up until mile 5 i lost everything.. My heart was beating soooo fast i felt like i was going to collaspe.. Bradon stopped with me and we walked up to mile 5.5 and then met up with the rest of the group and ran the rest of the way in.. It was the hardest thing i have pushed my body to do mentally and physcially.. After the race i decieded i really hated running and wasn't going to be doing much more of any races. haha I'm glad i pushed my self and showed myself i can do anything i push myself too do..





















































 We had our annual fair trip with the whole fam and our group g and g. it's always a fun time and the kids love it.. This year we pretty much just did rides the whole time..

My sisters,parents and lisa took the kiddos to st george for the little mermaid at tuacon.. It was a really cute show and fun little expeirence.. The weather was a little crazy but thankfully held up during the show and didn't rain us out.. It was a fun quick trip with just brynlee to give all my attention too.. I sure love that little girl more than anything!!!

My poor neglected blog... Updates on us =)

Holy cow.... When life gets busy i guess the blog gets neglected.. Thank goodness for good ole face book and instagram to post to.. so much quicker and easier.. I sure love looking back on my blog though, so i need to TRY to be alittle better..

Sooo much has changed since the last post.. Bryton is now 23 months and still as cute as ever. She is still so petite but so dang smart.. I always tease bradon and tell him i can't get mad at her when she's naughty cause she looks like she's 9 months still. haha.. She has the BIGGEST personality ever. So full of sass and curiosity. She loves to watch frozen, like beyond addicted to it.. It's slightly the cutest thing I've ever seen. She will sing and freeze things with her hands all day long. She talks non stop and it's the cutest squeaky voice ever.. Our favorite is when she yells at her sister " stop sissyyy" as shes pointing at her.. You'd think she was the big sister the way she picks on brynlee. haha. She is quite the bully and defiantly tells people where to go =/ we are working on her little temper but again she just looks to sweet ... ( parenting at it's worst )

Bryn J is going to be 4..... That right there breaks my heart.. This girl is so full of life and love.. She is the most sweetest caring girl I've ever known.. She wears her little heart right on her sleeve and would/will do anything to make someone happy/smile.. She is my little best friend, and i always make her promise me that she will live with me forever and never have another boyfriend besides her daddy.. I was telling her I'm so sad that she's going to be in preschool next year and that i would miss her sooo much while she is going during the day, she reassured me that i could just come to school with her everyday.. Ohhhh only if i could.. =) She is the smartest little girl and has always been.. She has always been very advanced and makes her parents so proud.. Honestly i think she knows harder words than i do.. Seriously!!

Bradon and I just celebrated our 6 year anniversary.. We are doing wonderful and i fall in love with this man more and more every second of every day.. He is a little more than halfway through with his associates degree in computer science.. He has rocked a 4.0 every semester  except his one with calculus haha .. He has gotten a grant to pay for every semester because of his geniusness =))) I am a very proud wife and mommy as you can tell..

We sold our house on October 6th and have been living with my parents since then.. We are building a beautiful home in west Jordan with fieldstone homes. We are beyond excited and cannot believe we are building our very own home where we got to pick everything out to our liking.. It has been an amazing process so far and we have been very happy with the builder.. I know alot can change in these next 6-7 weeks, but so far we are loving this process.. Our Old house sold in 5 short days... It got a little scary 1 week before closing they told us they couldn't qualify anymore, i think my heart broke and i cried like a baby for a good day.. But two days later we were told that there uncle was going to cosign and we were in the clear.. Wheewww what a relief .. We packed our little house into one big ole storage unit and moved our clothes to my moms and our beds.. We're so extremely lucky to be living here with my parents and appreciate them letting us live in there home while ours is built.. We are officially debt free besides our cars and it is the most amazing feeling ever..

 

 

 

I am going to try to do a little updates of some bigger fun events over the last 5 months we have done.. We'll see how many i can get too =))

December and January is so full of fun family time and birthdays and new homes =) so many fun updates to come

18 Months old

Oh my beautiful baby girl!! Where does the time go. I CANNOT believe that you are a year and a half.. You are the most amazing,sweetest and goofiest little girl ever! You have got your mom and dad wrapped around those chubby little fingers soooo tight! You are 100% a daddies girl and it melts my heart more and more everyday! I love the bond you share with him, and he adores it also! You are still so petite but have rolls, ask me how that works i'm not sure.. I think it's because you're our little midget so your weight doesn't have very much room to go. =) You are so sassy and so full of life! You can bring a smile to anyones face in seconds.

At 18 months
-weight- on the home scale you weigh 22.2 pds. we go the end of the month to the dr's for your check up
-height- i'm guessing 31 inches. but we'll see
- You have 12 teeth. i think that's all until your 2 year molars come in. You hated every minute of teething.. so glad it's over for the most part =)
- You are still in size 4 diapers.
- Wearing size 12-18 month clothing.
- You can say mama,dada, hi sissy, tito,belo, dog dog, thank you,uh oh, grandma-grandpa hi and you know what a dog,cat,duck,cow and sometimes a horse,pig and snack. haha You are soooo stubborn when it comes to repeating words, some days you'll say them all and others you just run away.. =)
- You know where your nose, head, mouth, feet and budda are. again soooo stubborn =)
- you love tito sooo much, and it's seriously the cutest thing ever. he gets sooo many cuddles.. speaking of cuddles you are the best at them. All day long i will get random leg hugs while i'm standing.. and kisses after kisses =)

You have so much energy and run and babble all day long. When you get hurt and we ask what's the matter you will yell in your little language and it's seriously my favorite thing ever. Your smile is worth more then the world, i love your little gappy teeth grin sooo much.You and your sister are so close and love each other so much. It kinda makes me sad that our next baby is going to have a gap more then 2 years in age.. I have loved nothing more then the closeness you guys share, and i know it is going to even get better with the years to come.

This age is the absolute funnest age and i can officially say you have finally made me baby hungry.. I want to witness this age 1000 more times.
We love you Bryton Vanessa!! more then you will ever ever know!
