Kissing Frogs

Braxton is such a great model! I got this totally cool sucker up in Jackson hole and have wanted to try some pictures ever since! It was a pretty good trade since he enjoyed eating the sucker well at least part of it! He is such a little stud and definately a handsome prince! Watch out girls cause this frog is going to be worth catching!

Braxton's First Day of Preschool

Braxton had his first day of preschool on January 20! He loves it and I love having some time alone! Sorry for the lack of posts I usually have like 50 pictures to upload and never have the time!

Nativity 2009

The kids got dressed up in the outfits of the Nativity. Braxton was Joseph, Brooklyn was Mary, and McKayl was the angel. They were so sweet and serene like they knew what was going on and who they were playing. Kids are so tender and it makes me tear up just looking at these sweet pictures and what Christmas really means. I love Christmas because it makes me be reminded of the tender mercies in my life like my family and my sweet children that have been entrusted to me-why I don't know why I was so lucky to have them in my life but am very thankful. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for Heavenly Father to allow his only begotten son to atone and be sacrificed for the world. I couldn't imagine, but I guess if you know the beginning from the end you'd at least know that it was worth it...I am sure thankful for the atonement in my life and now being a mother, appreciate how it came to be. Anyways, I hope the Savior, his message, and his many tender mercies find you this new year as it has found me so many times and hopefully so many more times.

Random Happenings

When the power went out in ALL of Rexburg it was quite the event! I had to go take a picture of the temple and this looked to me like a ghost temple it was kinda spooky....


We dog sat for our friends and we had fun, but can you imagine a 2 pound sweet innocent doggie with a crazy 3 year old and a one year old who likes to pull his hair....he was glad to go home I can tell you that!



This is Braxton on Santa'a lap! He was hilarious and was so shy he didn't say a word!!! Even after he told me all day what he was going to say! Ha oh well!

Braxton's 3rd Birthday!

Braxton had a great day. Started out with pancakes and one present! Went to gymnastics his favorite! Then he went to Mc Donald's for lunch and grandma came. Then we had a party with cake, ice cream, and presents! Both Grandparents came and Ashley! He was so spoiled! So Kinley got her first chocolate cake-bad idea since she was up all night-but she makes these weird faces-see for yourself....













I can't believe he is 3 already! Time has gone too fast! Here are three things about my little boy-
1. He is soooooo polite! I got asked once if he was a military brat since he always says please, thank you, you're welcome, holds doors open, and is very considerate of others!
2. He got stitches one day before he turned 3!
3. He loves to be going, going, going! He is in gymnastics and is starting preschool here at the end of January! I am excited to be able to get him more active since I know he needs it!

So I AM BEHIND

So in September we went to St. George to watch my father in the Huntsman Olympics (he won 2nd by the way) and while we were there we went to Snow Canyon and also I went to the Tuachan it was so much fun! Here are some much belated pictures.

Playing in the Snow and 2 Binkis!

So Kinley is our little jokester! She loves to make us laugh and is hilarious! This day she decided she wanted 2 binkis! She is a goof! Braxton loved playing in the first snowfall and I captured this picture and loved it!
