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.

Pumpkin Carving!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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.
