Too cool for school

Funny pictures

Our computer has a program called photobooth and it is so funny. Ben and I spent over an hour playing with it last night and these are just a few of the pictures we took.

Christmas Time

I love this time of year. We just got a flurry of snow today, so it's looking more and more Christmasy. We're mostly excited because Brandon kind of gets it this year and he is way excited.


I made a Gingerbread house- actually I made it out of graham crackers, but whatever. Brandon loves it. He thinks that the gingerbread baby is living inside. Sounds kind of freaky to me, but it's from one of his books. :)

7 Random Things

I was tagged by Rachel. These things are so hard for me, but I did it. So, here you go.

1. I have an irregular heartbeat. My heart sort of skips beats.

2. I have to conciously try to relax most of the time. So, I kind of stress to relax. Not very productive, but I'm working on it.

3. Some of my friends from high school remember me being silly dancing around lip syncing to music while I hold a brush (my mike), now I do that when my kids are napping and I listen to my ipod, except the brush is optional now. A fun past time.

4. 2 days ago I could finally button up my "big" pants. Yay!

5. I love houses. Especially old ones with cool architecture. I also love to look inside to see the layout and how people decorate. The best time is when the sun has just gone down and peoples blinds are open and you can see inside peoples houses. I'm a peeping tom of sorts.

6. I like the Brady Bunch. There I said it.

7. I swear I saw a UFO at Lake Powell a few years back- Angie is my witness.

I suppose I'm supposed to "tag" someone now? How about Erin C. and Emily M.

Christmas Tree

We had a nice family outing last night and bought our Christmas Tree. I really like it and it smells so good. For the last 2 years we've gone and cut down our own tree in Utah, and that was a lot of fun, this way was a lot easier though and the tree is so full compared to the ones we've cut down before. We're decorating it tonight and we are going to sing and dance around the tree - just kidding. Hope everyone is enjoying the season!

Bridger is 3 months old

Bridger is 3 months old!! Bridger is so full of energy when he is awake, but he still sleeps a lot (thank the heavens above). He loves to hear his voice, and therefore, makes a lot of noise during his awake time. He also giggles now and it is really cute!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! We went down to Utah and had Thanksgiving with Bens family. It was a really nice vacation. So relaxing.

Sleepy time

Thumb sucker

Bridger is a thumb sucker.

Bridger

We've had a busy weekend. It started with Bridgers 2 month check up appointment. He is doing great!! But the doctor said it looked like Bridger was storing nuts for the winter in his big cheeks :) Bridger weighed a whopping 15 lbs 9 oz. He wasn't even on the charts. He's a big little fella'.

Ben's family came up for Bridgers blessing this weekend too. It was a lot of fun to have them here and to see Ben's brothers new mini cooper. We also got to celebrate Jasmines (Bens little sister) birthday. So it was a fun and tiring few days.

Happy Halloween

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! We had a really fun one this year. It was the first year that Brandon really got what was going on. He wanted to be Pooh bear again this year and Bridger was a plump pumpkin. We did a trunk or treat thing at our church and that was really cute seeing all the kids in costumes. Brandon loved the kids in spiderman and batman costumes. Then we came home and Ben and Brandon did some trick or treating around our neighborhood. Brandon gets scared about everything. Brandon was done trick or treating when one house had one of those scary noise CD's, it really scared him, and from that he has made up this elaborate story about how there was a pumpkin man that said "no no kid, don't go, I want to eat you" Anyway, Ben and I had a good laugh hearing him tell the story over and over, everytime a little different.

Bridger is 2 months old

Bridger is 2 months old as of yesterday. He is smiling and cooing a lot more. My mom came this weekend and we had a great time. Brandon loves to see her and play with her. It was a fun weekend.

Potty Training

Brandon has been actually pretty easy to potty train, of course we arent done yet, but I think we're getting close. I was expecting it to be really really hard, but maybe it's because he's pretty old, but he picked it up fast with a couple lollipops and a couple bribes he is well on his way. Saturday he pooped in the toilet for the first time, I almost took a picture I was so happy. Just kidding, but it was a momentous occasion. Today Brandon wanted to wear his underwear, so I took some pics, he looked so cute. In the first picture he is posing like popeye, showing off his strong arms. When we started potty training we tried to bribe him with some spiderman underwear or some other cool underwear, he seems to feel pretty strongly about wearing only white underwear. I asked him again if he wanted some cars underwear (like the movie) or spiderman and he said "No, I don't want any man or anything on my underwear, I only want white," so, I'm kind of bummed, I like the character underwear :(
