Wii did it!!!

We got a Wii! We had it for about a week, just to make sure Brian wouldn't give me buyer's remorse! We finally opened it last Friday and played a fun little game of bowling.


These are the scores of our very FIRST game! (with our own Wii...we have played on my mom & dad's)


Then, on Saturday, Brian and Brooklyn played while I was at work. These are the scores.

He called me on the 7th frame and said that Brooklyn was beating him..and he was even TRYING! Can you say...she is good!!!!!!!


Then, Sunday before leaving for Brian's parent's house...we played another game.

Notice that I won this game!! Woohoo for me!

Although Brooklyn is going to be kicking all of our trashes pretty soon!
It's so much fun to watch her adjust her person and make sure she gets all the pins. If she misses one..she slaps her head and says "oh man!"
Pretty dang adorable!

Consequences

So...this is what happens when you have a sister that does hair and you tell her...just do whatever you want. Can you believe that somebody would do such a thing to such a sweet and innocent little boy? He looks like Drama from the tv show Rob & Big when he turned 21! Don't worry...it's fixed now.

Brian said he looks like Terry Bradshaw..and kept callin him that all night!

Madagascar 2

On Monday, the 12th..I took Brooklyn and Gavin to go and see Madagascar 2. Gavin had already seen it and Brooklyn has loved watching Madagascar with her aunt Alli. I thought it would be a fun activity to get the kids out of the house. I have to say, it was a really funny movie. The kids were so good..and Brooklyn only spilled her popcorn twice!

catch up time!

I have been trying hard the last couple of days to get caught up on Brison's scrapbook...I haven't even attempted Brooklyns...I'm not as far behind on hers. So, here are a couple of pages I threw together really quick! I am LOVING templates!

And no, Hollie, don't even think of asking me about Brison's weekly book! I will KILL you!

(still on week 5)











Month 9 is my FAVORITE! I was in love with these pictures when I took them. Then...as I moved on to the other months, I realized I haven't been as good with picture taking as I should have been....and I get disappointed in myself because I can't go back! URGGGH! I'll have to be better from now on!

Catch up from Christmas

Yep...got really far behind. December was a crazy month for me. I worked 123 hours in a 2 week time frame and just had no time to sit at the computer. I wanted to spend all the free time I had with my kids and my husband. I know, I know, I'm selfish! Anyway...a quick update.

I would be rude if I didn't finish the whole "Ute" week thing, my friends spent WAY too much time not to honor them...even if they did make a deal with satan so that Utah would win. (hehe) So, here are days 4, 5, and 6.

They really are great friends and it was fun to have them do this. I just wish that Pam wasn't so dang creative...she makes me feel so inadequate! Luckily, she's going to share all her talent with me and give me her fun ideas!

Next we have Brooklyns 1st EVER preschool program! She did pretty good. We had practiced and practiced her poems...but get her in front of a crowd and there is just no focus! It almost started without her because she had to go potty!

Brison was being a little studious with his reading. He is such a smart boy! HEHE. I thought this picture was to cute to pass up. He's such a stinker!

Next we have the decorating of the tree.. I tried to let go of my OCD and let Brooklyn help. It happened for just a moment, then I freaked out.

The next picture is the next morning and Brison deciding he wasn't going to let the nativity last for more than 3 seconds after waking up!

Just a cute photo opp..!

The sunday before christmas...in their new christmas outfits.

That night, we had the "Travis" family party and Santa came. Brison was so excited!

The cousins on Christmas Eve in their fun new pajamas.

Christmas morning opening presents. Fun, fun, FUN!

Well, I have said it before and i'm sure i'll say it again...sorry such a long post..I'll try to do better next time!
