Day Out With Kylee!

On Saturday, March 5th we decided to leave Braeden with Grandma and Grandpa Roden and take Kylee sledding up at Soldier's Hollow in Midway! We had a blast and it was the perfect weather/temperature!! By the end of the "day" we all started shedding our snow gear, it was so warm!




For some reason - I always have to have "self" portraits! Oh well - this is as good as it gets for me on this trip!






Kylee said she was closing her eyes in this last pic! Ha ha!

THEN we came home to our chunker monkers!!!!

Getting Some Use of Our Basement!

Here is Kylee and Madi having a sleep-over (Braeden REALLY wanted to join in)! We even "fired" up the fire place for them!! Love that Kylee has so many friends in our neighborhood!

Love when Kylee's Off Track!

So - I don't know if many moms' share my same opinion but - I LOVE having Kylee off track and so does Braeden! Braeden just LOVES his big sister and can't get enough of her. There were times when I would nurse him that I would have to go in a completely different room so that he could concentrate on "me" and not try to find Kylee! Ha ha! Kylee is such a good little helper!! Thank you Kylee for being so sweet to your brother! He loves you so very much!! These were taken the end of Feb/beginning of March 2011 (about 5 mos old)!

Grandpa Blaine and His Baby Boys

These were taken this past Sunday (Feb 20th) at the family dinner and thought they were cute of Blaine and the two babies (Braeden and Brighton)!

Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down!

As of Braeden's 5 month "birthday" to the day (Feb 19th) he sat up by himself for at least 10 minutes w/out falling over and has continued ever since! I can't believe how fast time is flying by and how big my "Little Man" is getting - it's insane and I wish it would slow down a bit!

Happy Valentines Day!

Yesterday was such a fun, fun day! You know those days when you wake up and you just know it's going to be a good day? Well yesterday was one of those days! I was able to help in Kylee's class for their V-day party, which I enjoyed VERY much! Braeden is almost 5 months old and I am feeling like I am back in the game and life has returned to normal and I am LOVING it! Anyway, here are some pics of our Valentines Day!

Oh - and Braeden has started to grab his feet and is now rolling to the side (the reason these pics are taken upside down is becuase if he saw us taking a picture - he'd just stop and stare - ha ha)! Funny, funny boy - you are catching on that your body actually can move and you are making it move! It's fun to see you figure out how your body works! Love both my kiddos very much! Happy Valentines Day!

Christmas 2010

So, this is a BIT out of order - I can't believe I forgot to put Christmas in! Oh well - I think this will finally get me caught up on this blog and hopefully I can get this printed into a book here in the very near future (if I can find the time to do that)!

First off - I am SO grateful for the best Christmas present I could have ever asked for this year(even though it came a tad bit earlier than the actual day) - my Little Man Braeden! What a sweetheart! I can't get over how stinkin cute he is and how good of a baby he is - it's amazing how you can love someone so much! I love him and Kylee more than I could possibly say on this blog! They are truly my angels and am so thankful for the opportunity I have to be their Mom! What an amazing journey so far!

We had yet another amazing Christmas filled with many surprises that we weren't expecting but were very much appreciated! Brett and myself (and our kiddos) have truly been VERY blessed the past few years during this season! I am so glad Brett works for an amazing company that recognizes how hard of a worker he is and knows that he does a good job for them! I am also very blessed to be able to work from home. I am thankful for Scott and my sister Kim who gave me this opportunity, even when I had NO experience what-so-ever with transcription! It has truly been the best situation that I could have ever asked for!

I am just so grateful and thankful for everything!!

And...with that being said, here are a few pictures of our amazing Christmas (I tried to get a pic w/everything the kiddos got but Kylee pretty much had everything scattered throughout the entire house before I could do so, so this is as best as I could do given the circumstances!

Family Time!

A few weekends ago we decided to try out Incredible Pizza! I don't think it was that "incredible" but it was fun to spend time w/our little family and enjoy each other's company! I love my family very much!
