Christmas Message

Just a little bit about what the family has been up to.

Brian is still working for Protection One. He is a salesman, and there are some good months and some not-so-good months. He enjoys his job for the most part and it gives us the flexability that we need, so, no complaints here. He is serving in the Young Men's and is over the teachers class. He was assigned a high school final game this year at the University of Utah which he was very excited about. Right now he is working with the arena football league. He doesn't particularly enjoy the drives home at 12:00 am from the Olympic Oval in the snow.

Brooklyn has transitioned really well into being a "big sister". She is dealing well with Brison and has only konked him in the head once! It was a bad one. She has seen just about every Disney cartoon out there over 100 times (maternity leave) and has almost every song memorized and can ask for it by "dopey song" (Heigh-ho) and "mulan" (I'll make a man out of you). Snow White is her favorite right now....it could be Cinderella tomorrow..who knows with her. We are going to go to Disneyland in March and I can't wait for her to meet all the princesses. She loves getting her fingernails and toenails painted (thanks to allie and ash) and at the same time will not hesitate jumping off the counter onto the love sac, or her dad, whichever is in her way at the time.

Brison is too little to really know what he is interested in, other than his mom and dad. He has the biggest grins and is starting to really coo. It's really, really cute. He has been a wonderful addition to our family and we all love him very much and don't know what we would do without him.

As for me, I am still working away in my lovely cubicle at America First. I started back after having 10 weeks off and it was a little hard leaving the kids, but kind of refreshing at the same time. I am still enjoying my hobbies selling Scentsy candles and scrapbooking (or trying to keep up).

We are very greatful for our families and the time we get to spend with them and all the things that they do for us. We don't know what we would do without them!

We hope that all of you have a safe and happy holiday season! We love all of you and hope that you all can enjoy the peace and love that usually abounds during this season.

THANKSGIVING

I am Thankful for my family.










We had dinner at mom and dad's with Allison, Lance, Derek and Jennie. It was very small, and nice, and there was still plenty of food! I hope everyone else enjoyed theirs. Happy Shopping!

More pages...


I am really working hard to keep up, and catch up with these scrapbooks. I can't believe how easy it is to do it digitally. You don't have a mess to clean up! It's awesome. I also don't have to go to the store and get the pictures printed and then wait an hour for them to be done. AND I can do it in my pajamas!





More pictures...really?

Like I said, I really need to keep up on this. I found all these other pictures that are too cute to not post!This is one of Brison's weekly pictures, but the smile is way too cute to pack away in a scrapbook for few too many people to see. This was the day of the BYU vs. TCU game. He is the biggest fan. Ever since he has been born, BYU has not lost. Luck? I think not! It is his calling! It also shows Brison's ever so sensitive skin. He gets a rash practically every day and I have to put lotion on it quite a bit. It looks like it hurts. I feel bad. Hopefully, he'll out grow it, just like he's outgrowing his clothes! HELLO! He's already in 3-6 month clothes. I dont' even want to know how much he weighs! We'll find out on friday!

Tanya, our friend (practically sister the way we were fighting while she was here) from Arizona. Brooklyn loves Tonnie. We really enjoy it when the Martin's come up. They never stay long enough though!
This outfit was given to me by my OB/GYN nurse Darla. I love her! She is the nicest lady ever and I really enjoyed going to the doctor every week because I was able to see her and my doctor, Dr. Seale. He is the best doctor ever!
And, last but not least, like father, like son! This was done by a mischiveous Aunt Ashley and, of course, my husband. I would like to point out the Boppy. It is a wonderful invention. I also have to let you know that I really don't use it that much. It is used by my husband, my weight lifting, huge arm husband, who can't seem to hold his 13lb son for the 20 minutes it takes him to eat. Couch potato!
