Christmas 2008

This year Christmas was especially fun, having a three year old is all you need to get excited!! Bria was a blast opening up her gifts, she especially like her American doll she got from Grandma Sonny...she made me take pictures of her with the doll!!!!

Wyatt was fun too but more so because he is just so cute...Santa didn't bring him too much this year....just wrapping paper he could play with..thats what he liked best..

By the end of the day..this is what I got when I went to check on Bria...she looks like sure had a great Christmas!!!

Bria had her first preschool program and she did really great( except for when she ran up to the teacher in the middle of it and showed her the earings she got to wear and her new dress!!) At the end of the program Santa showed up and Bria told him that she wants a real black horse, I know...good luck with that!!

5 years!!

This past weekend Clayton and I were able to get away and celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.

Every year we spend the weekend at Claytons family cabin in Alpine AZ...it is so beautiful up there. There is a lake right across the property that we attempt to fish each year...it seems we are getting worse with time..we didn't get anything this year!!! I still love it when Clayton throws on his cowboy hat...he will only where it at the cabin!! Thank you Clayton for the best 5 years ever......I love you!!!

Halloween 2008

Bria wanted to be a ninja or Mulan this year but once she saw the Batgirl costume..she was sold!!

So we decided to have Wyatt be Batman....

They were so cute all night

I found this old Robin pajama set in my moms old costume bin and it fit..well sort of...I had to wear tall boots to cover up the legs that stopped just before my knees and put a red shirt on under the top because it was way short, Clayton looked way more scary in real life..this picture doesn't do it justice!!!!

What a fun time we had this year!!!

We went to the pink sand dunes in Utah with Claytons Family....Here is a shot with Bria and her cousins..

This is what I get when I tell them to do a thumbs up...at least one got it right!!

Bria and Clayton on their first ride of the day

Clayton couldn't resist fishing for at least one of the days.

I was trying so hard to get a cute photo of Bria with the beautiful scenery....all she did was dance for every shot!

Bria with her Dad before they headed out to fish....

A picture worth a thousand words....

After conference on Sunday I decided to make some cookies, Bria however didn't want cookies..she wanted doughnuts. I told her I don't know how to make doughnuts to which she replied that she knows how and off to her little kitchen she went to work.. a few minutes later I decided to check in on her and found her daddy and Bria enjoying pretend doughnuts...I couldn't help but take a picture. If you look closely you will notice Clayton's fingers and toes..they are paitned orange..something else Bria  did during conference (don't worry... he took it off as soon as she went to bed!!)

I've tried everything.......!

I have tried everything short of cutting his thumb off to stop the thumbsucking.....I always said that I would never let my kid suck their thumb...I guess I am eating my words now!!

I will admit that he is so cute when he does it!!

He even tries to suck his thumb while I feed him his cereal..it makes for one messy feeding..

I think I see where he comes from!!! His Daddy!
