Family pictures

My Mom took these pictures for our Christmas cards, so I thought I would post them all here. It was freezing that day and you can definately tell when you look at us, but overall I think they're pretty cute.




Haha, you can see my Mom's head and Brayden was not happy!


My cute guys!




Mine and Adam's eyes are closed, but the kids look cute!

My toe!!

It was the strangest thing, last night I had bare feet and I was pulling my feet up on the couch and I felt my baby toe nail snag so I thought I just had a little hang nail. Well, I looked at my toe and my entire nail had come off and was hanging on my a little piece of skin. Sorry if that's gross, but it was so weird! It didn't hurt at all and I had never hit it or stubbed it or anything so I have not idea how if fell off. I didn't take a picture because I'm sure you don't want to see it, but I just wanted to share this because it was so funny. I pulled it off completely and that hurt a little, but now I'm just hoping it grows back in time for flip flop season!!

Letter Tag!

Okay, so I know I have been seriously MIA lately so what better way to get back into the swing of things than with a tagging!! I was tagged by Megan to list 10 things that start with a certain letter. The letter she gave me is L! So here goes:

1. LOVE~ Okay that one was an easy one! I love Love! It's awesome! It's such a good feeling to love someone and be loved by someone and especially to love your kids more than life itself. Okay, so this was cheesy but you have to get cheesy when you're talking about love! Here are my loves:



2. Lord~ This one should really be number 1 though. I love the Lord and am so grateful for everything that He did for me. He is such an amazing example for me and I strive to be more like Him everyday! It will be great to see Him again someday!

3. Latter Day Saint~ I am so grateful to be a member of this church. I don't even want to think about where my life would be right now if I weren't and I am so grateful to have a husband that is an active member as well!

4. Little kids~ As in my little kids! LOL They are the cutest, sweetest kids around and I'm happy to be their Mom!

5. Laughing~ Sometime's there is nothing better than to just sit there with a good friend and laugh your head off! It's very therapeutic.

6. Lunch dates~ This one goes with number 5. I love getting together with friends or sisters and having lunch together! It's so fun and doesn't happen near as much as I would like it to!

7. Licorice(red not black)~ Especially the natural kind that they sell at Target that's from Australia! It is so good. It's called soft eating licorice in the candy aisle, so if you haven't tried it, you should!

8. Lip gloss~ I always have to have a lipgloss with me wherever I go and I probably have at least one of every brand out there! It's kind of sickness and it's not just lipgloss, it's all makeup!

9. Lasagna~ Actually any Italian food! Yummy, I love it! Olive Garden is definately up there with my favorite restaraunts.

10. Lighthouses~ I think they're beautiful and I like to collect them and decorate with them. I have a bunch in my living room!

Okay, so that was harder than I thought it would be! LOL If anyone wants to be tagged, leave me a comment and I'll pick a letter for you!

Hubby Tag!!

But if so, I love you Honey!! You're the best!

I tag Tami, Melissa, Joni, and Jessica and anyone else that wants to do it!

Silly Baby!

Lately Brayden has loved pulling big bowls or pots out and sitting in them!! It's so funny! He'll just sit there and drink his bottle or play with a toy! I took pictures of him in a bowl, but he sits in the crock pot too and I haven't taken any of that yet!





He's so cute, but it looks like I should've swept my floor before this picture was taken instead of after!!

3 of my favorite guys!

Too bad this picture doesn't have Alex in it, because it's such a cute picture! It was taken at my nieces birthday party at Jungle Jim's play land so I'm sure Alex is off somewhere riding the rides and playing games!


My Dad, Adam and Brayden

15 Month Check up!

Yesterday was Brayden's 15 Month check up! It ended up being a pretty crazy day! He was just scheduled for a well child check up, but right as we were pulling in to the Dr. office he threw up everywhere!! It was awful! It was all over his clothes, face, the car and car seat! So his check up ended up being a sick child check up! Luckily I had a change of clothes and the nurses were so nice to help me clean everything up! Poor little guy! I was hoping it was a one timer, but he threw up again today!! He doesn't act sick at all other than just the throwing up but before and after, he's walking around and smiling, so who knows! Hopefully he's really done this time! Anyway, I was worried about him getting his vaccinations if he was sick but the Dr. assured me that it would be fine as long as he wasn't running a fever! So he got 3 shots, 1 of which was his flu shot booster! I don't know how to turn the picture, but you can still see his cute little legs with the bandaids on them!


Oh and here's his stats! 30 1/2in and 19 lbs 12 oz! Yes, I know I have a little baby! One of these days we'll hit 20 lbs!
