5 years later..

Bradon and I got to celebrate our 5 year anniversary this month. I can't believe i have been married this long already. I love that man more and more every second.. He really is my sanity in life. Just his outlook on life in general makes me love him more! He's probably one of the hardest working men ever, between deciding to go back to school working full time and being a dad,husband and wanting to pursue his MMA love he does a pretty damn good job at balancing it all.. Bradon and I are night and day in our everyday personalitys but we see things so much alike.. Which makes life a little easier =) We make the best team ever and if something needs to be done or we have projects he helps every way possible.

I couldn't imagine my life without him. He has fulfilled two of my biggest life dreams, marrying the best man and becoming a mommy! I lucked out with getting the best of the best!

I love you more then words could ever express Bradon. You make my life the absolute best and everyday worth smiling..

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN 2013

What a fun filled busy day we had... I've always been one to LoVe holidays but something about having two little munchkins to spend it with and buy for just make every holiday 100 times better.
We celebrated Halloween all month long with lots of fun activities.

We went to Gardner Village for "Breakfast with the Witches" Amber always books us the VIP front and center table around August and the kids just love it. They get up on stage and sing and dance with the witches.
Right after the Witches the girls and I met up with Bradon's family for our ritual shopping and looking at the witches at Gardner village.. We spent to much money on cute clothes for brynlee and ate yummy treats .. I know why i only go shopping there once a year now, way to cute of clothes but way to expensive..
We love both of these yearly halloween traditions.

We did our yearly trip to Frightmares with my whole family.. Brynlee LoVeS rides which makes it so much fun.. I cannot wait for disneyland.. eeekkk 32 more days.. SaY WhAt.... =)
When we went to lagoon in June of this year brynlee was not tall enough for the new kid roller coaster bambora, and she was seriously heartbroken.. Well this trip she was tall enough and she just couldn't believe it. haha made me smile how excited she got when she knew she could go on it with all her friends.. I love that girl so dang much!

We made lots and lots of yummy fall treats. Which Bryn loved to help/ more like eat everything. We colored our hair red.We had horsey rides in our cowgirl hats and underwear.. We had numerous silly photoshoots..

We went to Grandpa Manuels work halloween scavenger hunt with all of our cousins and rocked the scanvenger hunt.

We went to Grandma Lenna's work party too and got to do a fun trick or treat and eat cookies and juice.
We went and saw grandma and grandpa powell and played there piano while eating way to many cookies.

 

We got to ride the Heber Creeper and pick out our own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.

We went to Wheeler Farms farmers market and did some trick or treating.. And play at the big tall park they have.

And last but not Least We celebrated Halloween all day long.. We wore our halloween jammies g and g domingo got us and read our halloween book.. Then Woke up to Crazy Mom in her pirate costume with homemade pumpkin waffles.. Partied at grandma kims daycare party and got way to much sweets just from there.. Then we made our way down to G and G freds, Aunt Jonna's, and G and G mathews to get more sweets and loves.. After that we ate arbys in the car to make way for our long night of trick or treating in Aunt ambers neighborhood with all the cousins.. I think brynlee was pooped from her party earlier cause she did a little bit of trick or treating then wanted to sit and the stroller and people watch. haha
