Recent pics

Just some recent pictures. You know I don't think we ever took so many pictures like we have lately.

Just a funny picture of Brandon and Bridger.

We went out Sunday and found a cool canyon to explore.

Brandon loved throwing rocks into the little stream.

Hair pictures.

I'm really liking my new do.

Bridger

Bridger just loves our glass cups. When he sees us holding one he get all wiggly and excited. And if we let him get close to it he just crams his mouth onto the side and makes the drinking motion. It's cute. He lives with his fists in his mouth. At all times he's got to have something in his mouth or at least have something in mind to put in it. Everything goes straight there. Its funny.

Before and After

Thanks for all of the comments and emails (and a phone call). I only got like 3 comments on here, but I got a ton of email's, so I'm not really a loser. So, most of the emails and comments we're for me getting a short haircut, which I wasn't really thinking I would do, but after so many people thinking that that might me kind of a good look I took it into a little more consideration. So, I got kind of a medium short cut, with an a-line, with kind of a piecey look. I really really like. The only thing is that they cut the bangs quite a bit shorter than I really wanted, but in probably a month or 2 they'll be way better. So, here is the before.

BEFORE

(Gosh, I am so not photogenic)

AFTER

K, so don't laugh, they'll grow, plus they're kind of funky cool, kind of.

Besides I can put them up like this and they look cute.

And I'm really happy because I can put it up in pony tail still when I need to.

And I had it dyed, just to a warmer brown. I really like it. So, there you go. Thanks, for giving me your input. It's kind of lame, but for some reason, I just couldn't make up my mind, and you guys helped. Thank you.

Hair Cut

Okay, so I'm getting a hair cut on Saturday, and I'm not really sure what I want to do. So, here is the thing, I really like having long hair, but it's usually in a ugly pony so I'm thinking maybe a cute new hair cut will help my frumpiness.
I remember having short hair and really liking it, but I'm kind of afraid of that big of a change, but I think it could be really cute. The haircuts above are cute, so maybe one of those. Of course they are on really beautiful people, but anyway...
Another, is maybe going with a medium cut. A-line maybe with some cool layers.
I'm thinking what ever I do I'm going to try out the side bangs thing. So, I would love anyones feedback. Should I go short, medium, or stay long? Also, should I dye my hair or get some sort of a highlight thing. Any ideas? If you can't post on here email me.

Brandon's Room

We're starting to decorate Brandon's room a little. We put up this brick wall paper and we really like the way it looks. What do you think? Eventually, I think this room is going to look pretty cool. We're also going to be working on Bridger's room, so I'll post pictures when that starts happening.

Soccer

Brandons soccer season is over. It was an interesting experience. He had a love hate relationship with it. He really loved practice, but did not like actual games. He did kick it once in a game and that was a proud moment for Ben and I :) He was the youngest on the team, so I'm thinking maybe he was just a little too young. Maybe next year.

Brandon was kind of sick on his picture day that is why his has a reddish upper lip, from wiping his boogies all day.

Brandon got a certificate and a trophy. Pretty cool.

Because it was the last day of soccer they had a clown come with his big blow up ball and Brandon loved it. (Brandon and Ben are almost right underneath the ball.)  

Anyway, that is the soccer scoop.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Love you!!

Old news

So it seems like I pretty much only post when I put what is on my camera on our computer. So sorry, but most of these last posts are kinda old news and all jumbled. I guess it probably doesn't bother the viewer. So anyway...

For Super Bowl Sunday we got some game food. Brandon got a big chocolate cupcake and a soda pop. Can you tell he loved it?


Last night, Ben made Brandon some pipe cleaner jet fighter glasses. Brandon really liked them. He flew in circles like a jet for a little while.

Bridger Videos

I love Bridgers giggles. I also love it when he has crazy energy spurts. It is so funny.

These videos don't do Bridger justice. He is much cuter in person. So, maybe you should come visit us...

It's getting warmer!!

This forecast is so much nicer than last weeks. I'm so excited that things are warming up.

Brandon's Story

Brandon has been so funny lately. He loves to tell us little random stories, usually not making much sense at all. We thought it would be funny to tape some to show him when he is a little older. I bet he would think they are really funny. Here is one I taped today before his nap. It's cute.
