Fun little updates

I am a phone picture taking girl, i am constantly snapping pictures and going through my phone i wanted to document some things.

Valentines day landed on a saturday this year which was soo awesome. We spend the whole morning and afternoon with the girls. Brynlee chose to eat applebees for lunch and then we went over to baskin robins to have some icecream. It was so warm we were able to have our short sleeves and eat the icecream out side. Amazing. That night amber watched the girls and we went out to tepenyaki's. It was a long 2 hour wait but we had a great night just the two of us. I love that man more than anything and so extremely thankful for the life he gives me.

We got to celebrate handsome gagey's 6th birthday party up at a cabin in midway. The kids all had lots of fun playing in the hot tub and running around the cabin like crazy kids. The next morning we all bundled up and went sledding at soldier hollow. It was alot of fun. From the bottom the hills looked really small and not scary at all, but going down them was alot scarier then it looked.. You really got going fast, brynlee loved it but wouldn't look up the whole time. she was hilarious.

Miss Bryton got a big girl bed and has been seriously PERFECT.. She hasn't gotten out once and after she wakes up she just sits up and does exactly what her sissy did, "mom i wake up".. She is getting so dang big.. She is officially in a big girl bed and completly binky free.. Bradon is huge on no binky after 1.. both girls were such binky babies at night, so we did the whole no binky unless it was nap/bedtime.. one night bradon just didn't give it to her and now it's been about 3 weeks and not a whine about it.. We got so lucky with such good sleepers.. Those long nights of crying it out pay off and i am definatly a firm believer of holding down your plan and it will all pay off.




















When we moved we threw away our old computer desk and chairs and was planning on just buying new ones for the new house, well it was alot harder than we expected. We found a really pretty white hutch computer desk for me but bradon was having a hard time finding one he liked.. we ended up rocking a card table in the office while bradon built his own. He ended up building 2 desk and an entry table for me.. He is so talented and i'm so lucky i get to take advantage of his talents =)

Easter fun. This easter weekend was awesome, Saturday we went out to bradon's families and had a big easter party with coloring eggs,egg hunt and lots of food. the kids love it every year and get lots of fun stuff. Easter morning the girls woke up to their eggs hid and easter baskets waiting for them. Brynlee was so excited to tell me all about the bunny and how she couldn't beleive he was in her house. Bryton did so good this year and is getting so much fun during the holidays.. I love these girls so much and love every little holiday to celebrate with them...

Bryn j starts preschool at sunshine square in September.  We went back and forth on preschool and if I wanted to do an in home or a actual school and we ended up with sunshine. I actually went to the same preschool.. Awww memories :) we can't wait to go school shopping and all the fun things to come. The thought knowing my baby will be starting school makes me sooo sad. She is so big and smart and so dang beautiful!! 

Our new home

We are all moved in and out of boxes.. HALLELUJAH!
We closed on January 29th and moved in January 30th. We were able to get all of our stuff moved in thanks to all of our amazing friends and family. What an adventure it was. You never realize how much stuff you have until you move. I felt like when we moved out of our old house i got rid of soooo much stuff but i feel like we still had so much to move... NEVER AGAIN.... or i'm hiring a company. haha

We are so in love with our new home and it has started to feel just like home. We've gotten pretty much everything decorated and in place so that helps make everything feel more real. We are in a brand new neighborhood. We were the 5th house to move in. I love that everyone is new to the neighborhood.

The girls have adapted so well and same with the dogs. We have more room then we know what to do with. Half of our kitchen cupboards are empty. haha

I cannot believe we are finally in and can't wait for all the memories to start =)

Here's a little tour of some of our house.


I love our kitchen. One of the top things bradon and I wanted in our new house was the open floor plan in the kitchen to frontroom. Having 3 birthdays in january we needed somewhere inside where we could celebrate. We cannot wait to have all of our bday parties here in our own home.

Our frontroom.. Awww i love my mantel... Two of my request for "upgrades" were a fireplace mantel and a chunky wood railing.. We have so much more seating and room for toys and actually have room for end tables..

This is one of my favorite rooms.. Our loft.... It's our second front room but upstairs.. It's our hang out messy play room.. I told the girls this is where we can party and make messes.

Our master bedroom. Our master and master bath is the whole back side of our house, i love how much room we have in there , our big furniture finally fits like it should..

I love our double doors into our bedroom.

When we finished our bathroom in our old house bradon tiled the shower and one of his requests for "upgrades" was to tile the shower and tub cause he loved the look of it so much! It turned out awesome and we're really enjoying the HUGE tub. especially the girls.. It's like there own little hot tub.

Coming from one bathroom that was pretty dang small we don't know what to do with all this room and not being on top of eachother while being in the bathroom..

Bryn j's room.. both the girls lucked out and good huge walk in closets.. We put tons of toys in there and it's like there own little play room. brynlee goes in there and just plays forever...

Little Miss bryton's room.

her walk in closet/play room =)

The girls bathroom.. I couldn't wait to get them a girly ruffle bathroom..

Brynlee Jo turns 4

I never knew how much the heart could love until i had you!!! Brynlee Jo!! You are seriously my little best friend.. Watching you grow from a baby to a toddler to now a kid just amazes me. Your mind is constantly running and learning new things. You are beyond smart and have always been so ahead with your skills since your were little. We've got a little genious on our hands.

Weight 41 80%

Height 40.9 75%

You had to get your kindergarton shots this check up and holy moly we should have strapped you down in a straight jacket, you were not a fan of the shots AT ALL.. haha mommy had you and sissy by herself while daddy and school and it was quite a chore.

You are such a girly girl, for your birthday you asked for makeup,jewelry and to get your hair colored. haha i had to remind you that your 4 not 16....

You have the most amazing imangination. Ever since you were little you were able to go into a room and just play and play all by your self..

You are still quite a picky little eater.. i think you have inherited your dad's tastebuds. You LOVE to dip food, your favorite dip is ranch. =) you get that from your mama.

You are in 4-5 T clothing and wear size 10.5 shoes.

I won't even go into how smart you are cause i can just say you're a little genious and that pretty much covers it!

You are soooo observent, you will remember the littlest things and then bring it up months later.. I think it's so cute.

You love your little sister so much and constantly wanting to be playing with her.. She gives you a run for your money and is usually a little monster, but for some reason you still love the crap out of her =)

You love to play with your cousins or at daycare.. Every day we have to hear how you don't ever go to your cousins or daycare.. haha so much drama =)

You are still a good sleeper. You usually are in bed between 9;00 or 10;00 and sleep till 7-8. You are trying soooo hard to get out of nap time.. We still have quite time every day though.

You said the next sport you want to do is either soccer or ice skating.... we'll see what we sign up for this year.

We love you so much Brynlee Jo.. I still cannot believe i have a 4 year old.. Now stop growing!!

Bryton Vanessa turns 2

Oh my beautiful girl, How in the world are you 2?? Since your such a tiny little thing still i like to pretend your 9 months still. You have the most sweetest soul and something about you just melts me to the ground. I feel you never do anything wrong and daddy is starting to get after me, but like i said your only 9 months still in my eyes so you can't do wrong right =)

Weight 24.6 pounds 20%
Height 31.7 inches 5%



You are still quite the stranger danger girl.. Anywhere mommy or daddy go your sure to be right there with us.. You don't like being left alone without us, unless you have quite sometime to warm up to everyone. Your smile is worth a million dollars, it shows how much personality you have. You just cut all of your 2 year molars all at the same time, you're such a rockstar!

You are still in your crib and sleep like a champ! you usually go down about 9:00 pm and wake up at 8-9 am. You take 1 nap a day and it's usually exactly 2 hrs long. Since we're moving into our new home this weekend we're going to try to transition you into a big girl bed. We'll see how that goes....

You talk non stop, most things we can understand and sometimes it's still just jibberish. haha.
You know where all your body parts are and know all of your animals.

You are obsessed with shoes, you always have to have a pair on and change them every 5 minutes, But as soon as we get into the car they instantly come off.. Such a stinker

You have such fine hair, We've cut it quite a bit cause it grows in so stringy, so short and trying to get it thicker is our task right now =)

You are an AMAZING eater. You will pretty much eat any veggie and fruit, the only thing you don't LOVE are sandwiches.. You will eat them, but not your favorite.

You are still quite the bully. You have your group of people you like and don't like and you are certain to let them know how you feel.. good thing youre cute..

We are so in love with you Miss Bryton.. I feel so extremely blessed to get to wake up to your amazing little voice every morning... when you wake up you yell MOMMMM i wake up..... so precious!

Love you baby girl! always and forever!!!
