Easter!!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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!!

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

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.
