Everything

2011-05-05T15:54:00.001-06:00

Hey everyone!! Sorry I have been such a slacker at blogging lately. Our household has been really busy lately. I have had to take over a lot of responsibilities at work after a few people left and that includes working every other weekend. Lets just say I don't love it, but we are getting used to it now that I have been doing it for 4 months. Brett has also gotten really busy at work lately since the weather has been some what decent. We are enjoying our kids all time and really want to show you some fun pictures from Halloween and Easter and everything in between there. I will try and get better now that I am settling in to how my new work schedule is going to be.

Two is Amazing!!

2010-10-21T09:18:00.006-06:00

We honestly have an amazing 2 year old. She never fails to amaze us. She was potty trained right after she turned 2 and we were scared she would have lots of accidents to act out once her new sister was here, but we only had one accident since Brynlee was born and that was because she was to busy playing with everyone here and forgot to come and ask to go potty. Braelynn is at such a fun age right now. She loves to sing at the top of her lungs whenever she is in the tub or shower, loves to wrestle with the dog and most of all ALWAYS know where her baby sister is and give us updates on what she is doing. Don't get us wrong. There are times she drives us crazy. Like when we put her in time out and she laughs and doesn't care that she is in trouble, but we are so lucky to have an amazing 2 year old that makes us laugh more than not. Just the other night she kept trying to talk to her dad and he kept telling Braleynn just a minute I am watching this show. She replies "Dad just record it!" We all busted up laughing. She acts way above and beyond her age, but still is very sweet and uses her manners at most times. 6 straight hours at night and just waking up to eat and go back to sleep for 3 or 4 more. She loves to lay on her tummy and is starting to give us a couple grins now and then, but we haven't been able to catch any on camera because they are so unexpected. She also loves her bath and most of all she loves her FOOD. We love our kids very much and could not ask for easier kids. We did have Braelynn sit down and sing us a few of the songs she knows on video so everyone could see. She knows some more, such as Itsy bitsy spider, but she was over singing for us.

Brynlee Sue Morrison

2010-10-12T17:41:00.008-06:00

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this piece. I know it has already been 3 weeks since we had Brynlee, but it has taken me that long to adjust to having 2 kids. It seems like I barely have time to think anymore.
On September 19th at about 11pm I started having contractions. Thank goodness it wasn't any earlier because everyone had stipulations for when I could have this baby. Brett's parents needed us to wait until after the 20th because his mom couldn't get off of work until then and my parents were going to Larmie for the big game on the 18th and didn't want me to go in to labor while they were gone. Brett and I headed for Ogden a little after midnight once my parents showed up to watch Braelynn. However, Braelynn was awake right we left so they soon followed behind since my contractions were so close.
Brynlee Sue Morrison was born on September 20th at 7:23am. She weighed 7lbs 12 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.
It was a very easy labor compared to Braelynn's. We were very excited everything went smoothly. Brynlee is a very sweet baby. She looked so much like Braelynn when she was born, but now she has already changed so much and we aren't sure who she looks like.
Braelynn adjusted GREAT to having a little sister. We were so scared she was going to be having accidents in her pants and acting out, but she loves her little sister so much. We only had one accident in her pants and she only has a little attitude. At least she isn't being mean to Brynlee. Sometimes she is a little too loving. She is constinently wanting to hold her and love on her.
We are so thankful for the new addition to our family. We could not ask for a better kids.

Braelynn being over helpful.

Summer Fun

2010-07-13T12:24:00.002-06:00

This summer seriously has flown by. We have not had hardly a spare moment to just sit and relax. We do have a little girl that is pretty well potty trained. We are so stinking proud of her. It really only took us about 2 and 1/2 weeks to get it down packed. We still have to remind her she needs to go sometimes, but I don't mind. It is still way better than diapers.
We have been super busy with our yard. It still isn't done, but thanks to everyone's help we are a lot closer. We have the sprinkler system in and top soil. Now all we have to do is spread out the top soil and put down grass. I will be so excited when we are down with this project. I am sick of the dust.
I uploaded all of our summer pictures at once because we have been so busy it would take me forever to tell you about all of them. We have been camping, fishing, playing at the parks and much much more. Once you see all the pictures you can get a little idea of why I never get on here anymore. Plus our house shows it dramatically. I think we need to start staying home more. I can say it, but it will never happen. We are a family on the go.

Braelynn's Birthday!!

2010-07-13T12:10:00.002-06:00

Well almost a month ago Braelynn turned 2. She is such an amazing little girl. We love her so much and don't know what we would do without her. She got so much stuff for her birthday because she is loved by so many people. The amount of stuff she got is ridiculous, but she really acted like she loved everything she got. Even her clothes. Actually her clothes were probably the best present anyone got her. She loves to change clothes and shoes constantly. I added a slideshow because it was the fastest easiest way to get any pictures on here at all. I haven't even had time to go thru them so I am sorry if some of them are horrible. I am sorry this post is so late, but our lives have seriously been nonstop and I know it is only going to get worse with another little one on the way.

Easter!!

2010-04-08T15:55:00.002-06:00

We had a terrific Easter weekend!!
Brett played in the alumni tourney in the valley on Friday and Saturday. He loves this tournament. It means everything to him. He waits for it ALL year long. His team didn't win, but they did take second, so they did good. Sorry I forgot the camera both days so no pictures of Brett playing basketball.
Easter Sunday was crazy. First of all Braelynn got WAY too much from the Easter Bunny. Then we did Easter dinner. Which turned out ok:}. We were worried about it. Then we all just hung out and watched Braelynn play the whole day.

13 Weeks

2010-03-25T09:45:00.003-06:00

So we are 13 weeks and counting. Here are some pictures of our little one. The first one is it's profile, the 2nd one is just it's back (the doctor was just measuring the length), the 3rd one is an arm with it's little hand and a leg and foot. We are so excited to know what we are having. Luckily we only have 6 weeks and we will know!!!

Long Overdue Update!

2010-03-05T14:45:00.005-07:00

It seems like EVERY time I get on here lately to post something I am always apologizing for being so behind. I need to get better about posting stuff again. It just seems we never get 5 seconds to do anything.

Well we have been very very busy lately. We went to Florida over Valentine's Day to watch Brady be blessed and see everyone. It was such a great trip. Braelynn was really sick most the time with soars in her mouth and everything, but she did pretty good with everyone for saying how sick she was. It was great to see Brad, Katie and Brady. Brady has gotten so big and has a way cute personality. It is sad that probably next time we see the little guy he will be walking and talking. While we were down there the weather never was too nice so we didn't get out and do too much. Except one day we did take the kids to the zoo. Braelynn loved all the animals. She is hilarious.

After getting back from Florida, we were home for a week and then headed to the doctor and then off to Mesquite for Nascar!!! I love Nascar. I know I am a hillbilly, but if you went once live you would probably get hooked like me. Austin and Colton flew in and we all a blast.

We just barely got home on Monday and can I say I am extremely behind at work after all my vacationing but it was extremely fun. Now we are trying to get back in the swing of things. Braelynn started swimming lessons on Tuesday. She LOVES it! I took her Tuesday and Brett took her Thursday while I watched since I wasn't feeling the greatest.
I have a ton of pictures thrown together on a slideshow of everything we have been up to and I also have a picture of our new baby!!!! I am ten weeks, and know I have a long time left. But we are so excited! The due date is September 25th and Brett is not pleased with that AT ALL! He is a bow hunter so I am screwing with his hunting time. Darn it!

9 weeks 1 day in this ultrasound!

Getting so big!!

2010-01-26T10:20:00.003-07:00

Braelynn has grown up so fast. We don't even know where the time has gone and now we have another one on the way. We are so excited and can wait for what we have in store. I thought I would put up a video of Braelynn saying her shapes and a few pictures of her room. We switched her over to a toddler bed at Christmas. It is so tiny and cute.
I will post more videos as soon as she will let us catch her on video. She is such a smart little girl. She counts to 13, counts to 6 in Spanish, knows her colors and her shapes. She is amazing and we lover her to death.

Sorry it has been so long.

2010-01-07T14:16:00.002-07:00

Sorry we have taken a break from blogging. Our lives have just gotten super crazy. I decided that I want to add all the pictures I have taken since I last made a post. We have had a ton of fun lately and just want to share.
Are fun all started by going to Mesquite the weekend before Thanksgiving for Brad and Katie's wedding. We decided that these pictures were so old we weren't going to put them up, but I have to because we had so much fun.
The slide show has pictures of Katie's bachelorette party, a few wedding photos and going out on the town in Vegas. We had such a blast and are so excited Brad found Katie. She is GREAT!

After the wedding we came back to Evanston to spend Thanksgiving in our new home. Randy, Kris, Brad, Katie, & Brady came to spend Thanksgiving weekend with us. We really enjoyed having them stay. Then the Saturday after Thanksgiving, was the Walker family Christmas party at Aunt Teena and Uncle Eddie's house. Santa came and brought all the kids books. Braelynn loved Santa from far away, but as soon as she sat on his lap she freaked.

Once Thanksgiving was over it was time for my birthday. We went out and had a good time, but we forgot to take pictures. The following day Michelle got married. She was such a beautiful bride. Sorry no pictures:( Forgot the camera that day. The weekend after Michelle's wedding we were off to Albuquerque. Wyoming was playing in the New Mexico and when my parents asked us to go we couldn't pass it up. We were so lucky Randy and Kris came to watch Braelynn for us. We had a hard time leaving her. It was the first time we left her for more than just the night.We missed her so much but had a blast. Sorry all the picture are from the bar. I didn't have my camera when Wyoming actually won the game.

Christmas was only 4 days away after we got home, so we had a lot of stuff to get ready. Christmas was such a great time. We did Christmas eve downtown at the Moore family Christmas party. Then Christmas day we celebrated at our house. Everyone came to watch Braelynn open million presents and eat breakfast. Then we went to my parents for Christmas dinner. Braelynn was so fun to watch this year on Christmas and we know next year will be even more fun. This year her favorite gift was light up Dora shoes. As soon as she opened them, she had to have them on. Then she ran around the house looking at her feet all day. Braelynn was spoiled rotten on Christmas. However I think she plays with every toy she has gotten at least once a day.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

2009-11-25T12:37:00.002-07:00

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog lately. As most of you all know, we have moved into our new house. We were having a few issues at first, but they all seem to be worked out now. Besides moving we also went to Brad & Katie's Wedding in Vegas. It was awesome and I will post pictures as soon as Thanksgiving is over. This week we are just trying to get our house put together enough, so the Morrisons can have Thanksgiving at our house!! We are so excited, but scared at the same time. If you don't know I am not the greatest chef. However we will still have a great Thanksgiving because we are spending it with family.
Now what this blog is all about. It was to say what I am thankful for. I am thankful for so many things I don't even know where to start. I and thankful for my husband. He is the greatest person you will ever meet. He will do anything for Braelynn and I. I am thankful for Braelynn. I never knew what joy a child could bring us. She makes our day everyday. I am also thankful for my parents and siblings. They are always there to help me out. They support us in everything we do. They are all amazing people. I am also very thankful my in-laws. Technically I usually don't call them my in-laws. They are really my second family, but for the sake of this they are my in-laws. I am thankful for my in-laws because they are all such great people. I mean that. They are always there to help each other out. I am thankful for my adorable niece and nephew that bring so much joy to this family. They are all amazing people. I am also thankful for our wonderful new house. It has been so great to have our own place after saving up for 2 years. Really I am just thankful for my wonderful life that Brett and I have created together.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Halloween Weekend

2009-11-02T15:17:00.005-07:00

We had such a great weekend. I don't even know where to begin. I guess I will start out by saying how thankful we are to have such great families. We are getting ready to move and everyone is willing to help. Hopefully we will be moving in this coming weekend:)!
This past weekend my mother-in-law was so sweet and drove up her all by herself from Mesquite just to help us start cleaning, so the house would be ready to move in when they tell us we can. Randy had inventory at work all weekend and wasn't able to come with her:( We are so thankful that she came because we were NOT looking forward to cleaning AT all. We also need to thank Aunt Teena for coming over and pitching in too. So thank you both so much. Kris you were so much help you don't understand. We love you so much and are so thankful you were able to come. We can't wait for you and Randy both to come and enjoy our house with us.
After cleaning on Saturday, we took Braelynn trick-or-treating. We had such a cute little elephant. Braelynn had fun going around and getting candy, but she was so worn out by the end. She loved that Aunt Tasha gave her toys instead of candy. She got a cute little tea pot and cups from Aunt Tasha and Uncle Cam that Braelynn & daddy played tea party most the day Sunday. It was so cute. We had such a great weekend.

Pumpkin Carving!!

2009-10-26T15:21:00.002-06:00

Pumpkin carving has always been a tradition I remember doing with my family forever. I loved doing it so I want to carrying on the tradition with Braelynn. Brett got home from hunting on Saturday so we were able to carve our pumpkins on Sunday. It was so fun. Brett is hilarious to watch. He loves it way more than Braelynn. He is like a little kid. Braelynn dug into the pumpkin a little bit but she just likes looking at the pumpkins and trying to pick them up. There is NO way she can but she grunts and everything because she tries so hard. It was a great day.
After pumpkin carving we spent the rest of the day packing even though we do not know when we can move in. It is okay we had to do something to pass the time until it was dark enough to light our pumpkins.

Getting so so big!!

2009-10-14T12:29:00.002-06:00

So Braelynn is getting SO big. We can not believe it. She has started talking a lot and of course copying everything we say. I am trying to get Brett to watch his potty mouth so she doesn't learn anymore naughty words.
This video is of her and her dad counting. However usually she says 2 on her own this time she did not. Brett had to remind her. 2 is the only number she knows so if you ask her how old she is and you say "one" she says "2." We don't know why that is the only one she says, but it is and we usually laugh at her when she says it.

This video is of her being a big girl drinking out of a cup while her mom is trying to take yet another picture. She is so hard to get a good picture of now because as soon as the camera is out she is moving. She thinks she is taking a good picture because she does say "Cheese." However, she isn't looking at the camera. After she says cheese, I have her say what because it is so funny when she says it. It is cute now when you say her name and she says it, but soon she will be getting in trouble for throwing attitude behind it. We are sure of it.

This video is hard to see, but Brett and my dad kept thinking it would be funny to feed Braelynn sour candy. Well they gave her a little piece and it was SO funny. We all died laughing. The funny part was is she kept taking more and more. Finally I went and got the camera, but her face was not near as funny as it was the 1st time.

Braelynn loves books. She has started loving them so much she will just sit by herself and play with them. Sometimes she just sits and mumbles stuff to herself as she turns each page. It is like she is reading it to herself. She will do this for hours if she doesn't think anyone is watching her. You see her look up every now and then to check and see if anyone is watching. We kept thinking she saw us with the camera because she looked right at it.

Go Cowboys!!

2009-10-13T12:19:00.002-06:00

Last Weekend we decided to head to Laramie for football game with my parents. I was not excited to go because I knew I would be staying in the hotel room playing with Braelynn with the weather being bad. Plus it sucks making Braelynn ride over there and back for as long as we stay there. However, Brett wanted to go and he talked me into going. I am glad I did now. Brett and everyone had so much fun at the game and Braelynn got to go swimming, so of course she loved the weekend too. Braelynn loves to swim if you don't already know. Actually she loves any kind of water. It was so fun to watch her go from the hot tub and back to the pool without even crying when she got in the freezing pool. She didn't even make a face, but her dad sure did. He said he wasn't playing that game, but guess who ended up doing it anyway. Sorry I don't have many picture and the few I do have didn't turn out great, but I thought I would share anyway.

Happy Halloween!!

2009-10-08T14:09:00.002-06:00

Happy Halloween!!
We are getting so excited for Halloween. It will be so fun to let Braelynn dress up and participate this year. She will love showing off I will post more pictures of her in her whole costume after Halloween. She is so funny when she puts on her costume. She makes a cute little elephant sound and everything. We can NOT wait to take her Trick-or-Treating.
We were also getting excited for Halloween because we thought we might be in our house, but it doesn't seem like that is the case now:( Now we might not even be able to close on time. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for us.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. Sorry she wouldn't put down her toothbrush for me to take pictures of her.

Happy Anniversary!!!

2009-09-29T16:42:00.003-06:00

So today is our 2 year anniversary. We can NOT believe it. It seems like we just got married and found out that we were having a baby. Time flies way too fast. We really have been together for almost 6 1/2 years now so celebrating our anniversary isn't a big thing to us. We still always do something even though we say we won't.
This year for our anniversary we swore we wouldn't do anything or give each other anything and save the money for the house. However, Brett surprised me at work with some pretty flowers & little does he know he has a present at home waiting. So we broke the no present rule and what do you know we also made dinner reservations at Bon Rico for tonight. I love Brett so much and I know he loves me just as much. We both hope we keep our love going for 50 more years. Our love is something truly special in our eyes.

House Update

2009-09-29T16:33:00.004-06:00

Hey lots of little stuff has been going on at the house. It is hard to get in and see the changes because there is usually always people in there working so we only have a few pictures. They have our outside rock on and garage doors. They have also put in our retaining walls. Right now they are laying tile, putting up molding, & installing closet shelves. They are also preparing to paint in the next ten days. We are getting so excited. Sorry there isn't many pictures.

Sorry the tile is hard to see because it is so dark.

This is our retaining wall they just put in.

Getting SO SO big!!

2009-09-29T16:02:00.004-06:00

Braelynn is getting so big. Her grandpa & grandma Morrison gave her a potty for future use, but she goes and sits on it now. She never actually goes but it is cute to watch back up to the toilet and sit down. She also has learned to lay down in the bath tub and swish her hair. She thinks it is so fun. We finally got a little video of it for you to see. She also is talking a lot. Most the time it is just mumbles and we have no idea what she is saying. But is so fun to watch her cute little personality come out and sometimes the not so cute one comes out. Like when she shakes her finger and says "No No No" right back at me. It is so fun to watch her grow and wish everyone could share in this time with us. Sorry it is blurry.

Update

2009-09-15T10:36:00.002-06:00

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I have put pictures on here. We are all doing good. We are just extremely busy.
I thought I better put some pictures of our house on here because it has been going along so fast. So right now our cabinets are being built. The guy is taping and getting ready to texture on Friday. We have to pick out our lights and everything else. I finally took pictures again.

Outside!!

2009-09-01T10:42:00.002-06:00

Braelynn loves to go outside and play, especially with the dogs and horses. After she has had her bath and her pajamas on, we don't let her go outside. So she gets mad and stands at the window screaming Sasha and Daisy. It is so funny. She can't quite reach the front window either, so she has figured out how to climb on her train to see out the front window to see the horses. We had to share these pictures of her looking out the window.

TV Fanatic!

2009-08-21T15:43:00.003-06:00

So Brett and I feel like awful parents sometimes because Braelynn loves TV. We feel bad because she loves to watch her dvd player and we let her a lot. However we feel okay because we do take it away and make her play with her toys for most the day. We had to put a couple pictures on here because when Braelynn watches her cartoons she acts like such a big girl. When you see her watching her cartoons, you would think she was older.

Besides watching cartoons everyday this week, we also had to say good-bye to Uncle Austin. He headed back to Laramie for school. Of course, Braelynn had to help him pack. Okay maybe it wasn't so much help, but we know he loved having her there with him. As he packed, she would pull stuff back out. She just wanted him to stay. I had to put this picture on here because one of the things she pulled out, was this wig that he wears to games and we put it on for her to wear. She looked so cute in it. We enjoy our little girl so much and love to take pictures of her.

Slow Slow Slow Process

2009-08-17T18:17:00.011-06:00

They haven't done much on our house latley. It seems like it slowed down a lot in the past couple weeks. However the plumber and the heater people have been working on the inside for the past few weeks. Also later this week they are supposed to pour our driveways and patios. Here are a few pictures. We thought we should show a few updates since it has been a while.

Florida

2009-08-17T16:45:00.005-06:00

We started back to work today and realized how much we miss Florida. Our vacation was so fun. Baby Brady was so cute and fun to see. He made us a little baby hungry, but we know we need to wait a little longer.

We just wish we could describe how cute Brady is. We have pictures on here, but they do NOT do him justice. He is so tiny and such a happy baby.

Braelynn was unsure of Brady and Uncle Brad for the first couple days, but by Saturday when it was time to go she loved them. We miss Katie, Brad and the baby so much already. We are dying to see them. We wish we could see them before November.

Grandma Kris was also down in Florida while we were down there. Of course Braelynn loved her right off the bat. She misses her so much when she sees her she won't let her out of her sight to even go to the bathroom. Grandpa Randy had went home the day before we got there. We are so sad we didn't get to see him. It has been so long and we know he misses us too, but hopefully we can get to see him soon. We miss and love him so much and it has been almost 2 months..

Florida was so fun. We can not even thank Mom and Dad enough for helping us be able to go. It meant so much to us. We were so upset when we thought we couldn't see Brady until he was 4 months old. Seriously we owe you so much mom and dad, and this trip meant so much to us. We can not even describe to you how thankful we are. We love you guys so much and hope we can repay you some day.

We hope you enjoy are pictures. Braelynn loved playing at the pool at Brad and Katie's appartment, so there are quite a few of us at the pool. We only went to the beach for a little while because of the rain. Braelynn hated the sand, but loved the water so we were able to get a few pictures. The rest are of our plane ride and of Brady. There are a few of Braelynn and Brady together but not many.

Pig wrestling!!

2009-07-31T15:42:00.002-06:00

Wednesday night my sister and some girls see worked with were entered in the pig wrestling contest so Braelynn and I went with my parents to watch while Brett was playing in leagues. They are so funny to watch. My sister's team won last year so they were sure they would win again this year. We told them no way could they do it 2 years in a row. They however proved us wrong.

Uinta County Fair

2009-07-31T15:21:00.002-06:00

Tuesday night after work Brett, me, Braelynn and Austin decided to go to the fair and grab dinner and show Braelynn the animals. She was so cute. She would say what the animals said when we went past them. She had lots of fun as long as she was being held. If she was walking or in the stroller she was screaming. That was probably because her dad put her stroller face first into the pigpen and the pink starting oinking and scared her to death right at the very beginning. We were silly and took pictures of the animals and everything. It was like we were kids again too.

Waiting on a Roof!

2009-07-31T15:05:00.002-06:00

Our house finally has all the interior walls up. We have just been waiting of the materials to come in so they could do the roof. They actually started the roof today that is how far behind I am on blogging. I added pictures and if you hit play on the slideshow I wrote what the room would eventually be. It is hard to see on here. We are getting really excited even though we know the process will slow down even more after we have our roof on.

Moore Family Reunion

2009-07-31T14:59:00.002-06:00

Last weekend we went up to the Barker's campsite for the Moore Family Reunion. It was so fun to watch Braelynn play with all the other kids, even though they were way older than her.
After the weekend we all 3 went home so wore out. We ate so much food and played so many games we could hardly move. We played volleyball, holly board, cowboy golf, Johnny's chip game, & horseshoes. We were gamed out after the weekend.

BRADY IS HERE! BRADY IS HERE! FINALLY BRADY IS HERE!

2009-07-27T08:50:00.009-06:00

Brady Morrison was born on July 26th at 1:01pm (11:01 our time) He was 20.5 inches and 7lbs. 12oz. We are so excited he is here. Brad and Katie seriously have the cutest little boy. I put a few pictures that they sent us on here. As soon as I get better ones I will put them on here. These are hard to see because these are with a camera phone. We just wish we were there to see him NOW! We hate missing out on all this stuff.
We missed out on them telling us Katie was in labor too because we were at the Moore family reunion with no phone reception. We were so upset. We thought we missed Brady's birth by like 2 days, but we only missed it by a couple hours.
It was so cute listening to Brett and Brad share their first daddy stories together on the phone. I just wish we lived closer so they could do it in person. I know Brett misses him a ton.
Congratulations Brad and Katie! You have the cutest baby and we know you will be the best parents ever. We can't wait to meet Brady. We love all three of you very much.
I know I have way more to blog about that happened before this, but this is so exciting we had to get it on here. We couldn't wait any longer. We wanted everyone to see our adorable nephew.

GO WYO!!

2009-07-21T14:16:00.004-06:00

Aunt Tasha always complains that Braelynn never wears anything Wyoming so here you go Aunt Tasha you can see her cute Wyoming jersey she wore today.

We have A wall!!

2009-07-21T14:10:00.003-06:00

Yesterday we drove up past our house & finally the framers had a wall up. Let me emphasize that it is ONE wall, but at least we can imagine our house a little better now.

Relaxation, Relay more Relaxation & FUN!!!

2009-07-21T13:59:00.002-06:00

This weekend went by way too fast. It started out with us just staying home and doing absolutely nothing on Friday, but watching tv and playing with Braelynn.
Saturday, Brett had to go into work for a few hours so while he did Braelynn and I slept in and got ready to go over the Bridger Valley Relay for Life. Brett's family always has a team. It is fun to go over and see everyone and their cutely decorated campsite. However this year we had even more reason to go over and visit. Bryleigh was dancing. She is the best little dancer in her group & the cutest by far. Too bad I forgot the camera. So sorry I have no pictures. Stupid me. We were supposed to stay for the day and visit all the family, but Brett got called back to work so back to Evanston we went.
Sunday, we were lazy people of course Brett had to go to work, but as soon as he got home we just played with Braelynn. We took her outside and let her play with a sprinkler ball. It was so cute. She loved the water at first and then she just started screaming. She hated it and did not want to go near it again. She thought it was rather funny for Brett and I to run through the water. When we were finished playing in the water we went in and just enjoyed watching tv with our little family again.
We felt like we wasted the weekend doing nothing, but at the same time it was nice to finally slow down for a weekend and relax.

GROWING UP WAY TOO FAST!!!

2009-07-15T13:45:00.003-06:00

Braelynn is growing up way too fast. She loves babies and will run around saying baby all the time. Yesterday she found a baby buggy at the house and she put her baby in it and was pushing it around. It was so cute. After she pushed it for a little bit, she would pull out the baby and pat it's back and then lay it down. We loved watching her, but at the same time we were sad our little girl has grown up so fast.

Zoo!!!

2009-07-15T11:55:00.003-06:00

Yesterday Brett got off work early because there was a tournament going on. He was so thoughtful and offered to take Braelynn and I to the zoo!! We were so excited because I thought we weren't going to be able to go this year with everything we already have going on.

The zoo was so fun. Braelynn loved looking at all the animals. Brett and I thought it wasn't as cool as we remembered it, but it was still fun. We rode the train and the carousel, and saw all the animals there except the snakes. Brett does NOT like snakes at all so we skipped that part.

We took tons of pictures, but some didn't turn out so good, with as bright as it was outside. The ones of the 3 of us that others took don't look so great either. People had a hard time with our camera.

We had tons of fun at the zoo and Braelynn crashed hard as soon as we put her in the car to head home. She didn't even make it to the interstate. She was done for.

Weekend Fun!!!

2009-07-15T11:34:00.002-06:00

Last weekend we had so much going on. Brett's parents came through town, soo Kris could go to her sister weekend. So we only got to see them for a little bit on Thursday. Randy came over to visit us on Friday, but I only saw him at lunch because I was working and they went golfing, of course.
Saturday Brett, Braelynn and I went to Bear Lake with my parents and Austin. We rented jet skis and had a blast. Then we went over to Grammy and Gramps' house to visit. Brandi and the girls came down and Randy was there. It was so fun. However, the camera was dead so I have no pictures of the girls playing:( Brett tells me " Good thing I bought that spare battery" I always leave it in the charger. I need to get better about always having the spare battery with me. Here are a few pictures from Bear Lake but some of the pictures are so far away you can't see them. My mom felt so bad. She couldn't figure out how to zoom in.

Sunday we met up with Brett's parents on their way through to say good bye and then we were off to the track to watch horse races. Then we webt to the golf course to watch Brett, my dad and Austin golf. Normally I do not go because I am not a big fan of golf, but Brett begged and I gave in, so Braelynn and I went golfing 9 holes. Braelynn loved it. I am really glad I went now. I got some pictures of her golfing.

4th of July

2009-07-10T15:30:00.002-06:00

Flaming Gorge is where we ended up on the 4th of July. We had no idea what we were going to do over the holiday weekend since Brett had to work, but luckily he got it off and we were able to go camping over at the Gorge with my family.
My dad has his boat over there so the guys could fish. Braelynn loved the boat, but hated her life jacket. She got used to it though. She had so much fun touching the fish. It was so funny to watch her.
Braelynn also loved the fireworks and the dirt. Camping was so fun and it made Braelynn so wore out after being outside all day that she slept so good at night. Brett and I were so thankful because we had had a few rough nights prior to our trip with Braelynn getting her top molars in. We needed a good nights rest.

We hope everyone had just as much as we did on the 4th.

Swimming!!

2009-07-01T11:27:00.011-06:00

Last weekend the weather was finally nice enough again to play outside. After we worked on our house on Saturday, Braelynn got to play in her pool. She also loves to water the flowers so Aunt Tasha bought her a baby water can so Braelynn can water the flowers herself.

We ate dinner at Aunt Tasha's house on Saturday. Braelynn learned she loved ribs. She just picked them up off the plate herself and started chowing down. It was so funny.

We have walls!!!

2009-06-26T14:55:00.004-06:00

We have basement walls! We are so excited. They poured them on Wednesday and took off forms Thursday. Now we get to spend the weekend painting on the sealant.

1 year Milestone!!!

2009-06-26T14:50:00.002-06:00

Braelynn had her one year milestone pictures taken at kiddie kandids. I had to put them all on her so everyone could see what a show see put on for the camera lady.

So Late!!!

2009-06-24T16:36:00.005-06:00

Brad is engaged. We are so excited for Brad & Katie. They got engaged awhile ago, but I just got a few pictures to put with my post. I wanted everyone to see what a cute couple they make. They are so cute together and we love them to death. We just wished we lived closer so we could share in these happy moments a little more. Sorry it is so late. I am way behind on putting posts on here.

House Update!!

2009-06-24T16:31:00.005-06:00

We are building a house finally!! We made a decision. Above are a few pictures of the stage we are in now. They poored footings and are framing walls. We are so excited, but scared at the same time.

I will keep updating you as we go along.

Congratulations Abby & Wade!!!

2009-06-24T16:17:00.008-06:00

Last weekend we went to Torrington for Brett's cousin Abby's wedding. Brett's mom drove with us because Grandpa Randy couldn't come :(. We all missed him so much. Abby looked beautiful and the wedding was so fun, but it was a long fast trip. We are so glad we went.

Playing with daddy at the reception!

Birthday Cake!!

2009-06-24T16:07:00.005-06:00

On Braelynn's actual birthday (June 17th) Brett had to golf on leagues so Braelynn and I went up to Aunt Tasha's with grandpa and grandma Moore. We ate dinner and then tried giving her cake again. At her party she did not dig in at all. This time she did, but still did not get really dirty. Here are a few pictures of her eating her cake.

Braelynn's 1st Birthday Party!!!

2009-06-24T11:07:00.012-06:00

Braelynn's real birthday was not until June 17th, but we had her party on the 13th so Grandpa and Grandma Morrison could come.

We had her party at Bear River State Park. It was a BBQ. The weather was only nice for the first half of her party and then it got so cold we had to rush through cake and presents. There are tons of pictures and some are not very good, but I put all of them on here for the people that weren't able to make it.

Braelynn's Birthday Cake!!!
It turned out so cute..

Memorial Day!!

2009-05-26T15:50:00.004-06:00

Memorial Day was by far the most exciting day of long weekend. Braelynn started walking. It was such an awesome experience. She is still unstable of course, but she goes pretty far.

We love her so much & were so excited to finally see her walk.. I hope you enjoy the videos we could get..

Bryleigh & Braelynn

2009-05-26T15:14:00.002-06:00

Like I told you in the post before Bryleigh came over and stayed the night on Friday. Well she also came over on Sunday to visit. I only got a few pictures of the girls together, but they played so cute together.
They loved to bath together and everything.

Here is a slideshow of a few pictures of them. They are so cute..

2009-05-26T14:40:00.003-06:00

This weekend was full of events for us..
Brett's parents came to town on Thursday night & stayed with us. It was so good to see them. On Friday Brett & I had to work so they watched Braelynn. Also on Friday Braelynn's cousin Bryleigh came over. They love playing together.
Saturday we all got up and went to the valley to see Bryan's house & go to Grammy's party that night.
Grammy's party was so much fun... We got to see a lot of family that we do not see very often.. It was great to see everyone!!!

BRAELYNN

2009-05-13T08:54:00.007-06:00

Braelynn is starting to think she is such a big girl & can feed herself, so last night Brett & I gave her a fork & plate of stuffed noodles & let her have fun. She was so cute we had to upload the pictures so everyone could see.
Also her grandma Kris & grandpa Randy sent her the cutest outfit yesterday. We had her wear it today & took pictures so everyone could see. We thought it would be too big, but it is almost right except the pants are a little long. Thanks grandpa & grandma it is so cute.
Braelynn also wanted to show off her trick of sticking out her tounge so it is on here too. She is so funny. We love her so much. I hope you enjoy the slideshow of pictures..
Don't mind I spelled tongue wrong on the slideshow & didn't want to go back & fix it after I downloaded it. Also sorry it takes so long to bring up

Mother's Day!!

2009-05-11T14:54:00.011-06:00

We hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!! My Mother's Day was great the only sad part about it was Brett had to work that morning, but he was home by 9. Before he left Braelynn & him had my present left out. Braelynn got me the prefect gift. She had made me a frame with her handprints done in plaster. It was so cute. I loved it. Brett gave me the all time greatest gift though. Lately I have not had time to clean & relax as much as possible, so he gave me husband coupons. This way he will clean the bedroom, bathroom, Braelynn's room & so on. Thank you so much honey!!!
After Brett got home from work, we went for a walk at the Bear River State Park. Braelynn loves to go for walks. I only took a couple of pictures. I was being lazy. The rest of the day we just hung out, watched golf, movies, & played cards. It was a great day!! Thank you Brett and Braelynn for making my day perfect.

House

2009-05-07T15:47:00.001-06:00

Sorry I haven't put anything new on here lately. I have hardly taken any pictures. However, Brett & I have been very busy looking at house plans & lots. Hopefully we might be able to build. We are just hoping everything works out & is in our price range. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for us. Hopefully soon I will add more pictures.

Easter

2009-04-16T16:29:00.010-06:00

For Easter this year we went to Mesquite & celebrated with the Morrison family. Brad & Katie flew in from Florida & it was so good to see them. We hardly ever get to see them so we were so excited. Bryan & Bryleigh also went down for the weekend. It was so nice to have the whole family together. That never happens. We were finally able to get an updated family picture & just hang out and relax. It went by way too fast. Hopefully we can do it again soon. We already miss everyone so much. We didn't take many pictures, but here are a few of Braelynn on Easter & a few family pictures. Enjoy!
