Halloween

This year Brinlee dressed up as the "beautiful" princess Fiona and Brecken was Puss 'n' Boots. We went to Trunker Treat first and then went to a few houses in the neighborhood. By the time we were done Brecken had it figured out. He would walk up to the door with a death grip on his bag and open it long enough to get a treat. Then he waddled back and wanted to be held while we walked to the next house. Of course Brinlee had a great time getting candy for being a gorguous princess. After we were done trick or treating we went to my parents house for pizza and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. We did not have enough sugar with all the candy!

Getting ready to go...

Trick or Treat...

Notice Brecken has a piece of candy in every one of the last three pictures, he was on a slight sugar high!!

Boondocks

Since we had Brecken's Birthday party the day before his birthday we ended up going house hunting and furniture shopping on his actual birthday! I felt really guilty for doing that and also for dragging them around all day. Since it was Brecken's birthday and they both did acutally pretty good we decided to take them to Boondocks to play. We had lots of fun and got plenty of junk with the tickets Brinlee won. For an update on our housing situation, we have an offer in right now for a great house in Saratoga Springs. Both Brad and I love it out there and can actually agree that it works to live there. We are really excited and hope things work out. The house we want is a short sale so it takes forever long for everything to go through. We will keep everyone updated as we figure things out!

Brecken turns 1!

My baby boy turned one on October 30. I was kinda sad, but he is so fun at this age. I love him so much! Some things about Brecken when he turned one are:

He walkes
He LOVES his blanket
He says Mama and Hi plus he screams for fun!
He sleeps through the night, most of the time
He climbs on the couch and chairs
He has 8 teeth
He adores his sister
He loves to wrestle with his dad
He loves to snuggle with me and his blankie
He runs outside any chance he gets
He likes to hit anything that comes within reach
He puts anything in his mouth and bites
He is a good eater
He loves to drink whether it be from his sippy or a big cup with a straw or no straw
He wakes up with a smile
He meets me at the door with a huge smile and a hug after work
He loves Lizzy, except when she sits on his blanket
He likes to talk on the phone
He loves to take baths
He likes to play in my makeup or with his toothbrush when I get ready
He likes to play in the kitchen with the spatulas and pots and pans

We love you buddy!

He was clapping because we are such good singers

It took him a while but he finally figured it was okay for him to dig in and smash it!

Jackie's visit

My sister Jackie and her son Carter came up last week to visit and meet my newest niece Kinnli. We had tons of fun! We had a girls plus dad night! My parents and all my sisters went up to Provo and ate at Chili's then we went to Mama Mia! It was hilarious just to watch my dad in the movie! He about died every time they burst into song! The day before everybody went up to Thanksgiving point and played! The kids had a great time. It was good to spend time with my whole family.

Breckenridge Trip

Alright, so I have tons to catch up on. A few weeks ago we met Brad's parents in Breckenridge Colorado. We usually go up there once a year. Yes it did kind of inspire my son's name! Anyway for those of you who don't know where Breckenridge is, it is located close to Denver and it is a small ski town like Park City. We love going up there to get away, it is so pretty. Plus they have Baba Gumps and Eric's!! The first time we went it was "mud season" and those were the only two restraunts that were open, actually the only things open period!! At least they have good food! We had a great time, and it is always fun to see Nana and Papa!!
