Brielle's first REAL dentist apt.

Brielle at her 4 year old dentist apt. She did great and was super patient since I had my apt first and then it was her turn.

We absolutely love our dentist Dr. Staley! We should have gotten a pic with him cause he's our favorite! The hygienist we had was awesome too. She was so sweet and so patient with Brielle.

Everything is digital at our dentist office so we got to see EVERYTHING in our mouths! Its a lot to look at but super neat. Brielle came home with the obvious: toothbrushes and toothpaste and a positive start to keeping her teeth clean!

Some randomness...

Lunch, birthdays, randomness, blah blah blah....

Brielle took these pics of Bryce while at Cafe Rio..

She did pretty good! Super random..

This is a random shot at our good friend Olivia's Birthday party at Chucky Cheese. I got one pic and this is it! I am not sure why I didnt try for more since this does not show the good time they had :) But they did have fun and we sure miss Livvy!

Awe... and some of my "Besties" at Cheese Cake Factory!! Alyson and Brandalyn have birthdays just a day apart so OF COURSE we celebrated them together!! These are some of the most loving, amazing, talented, sweetest, greatest friends I could ever ask for!!! Oh how I miss them!!! That was sure fun that night!

Brielle teaching Bryce to "Skooter"

Brielle went through a small phase were she made her bed EVERY day. It was so nice.. hope that phase comes back through again :) So here she is, bed made and all!

Visit to California...

Back in February 2011 we made a visit to California to visit family AND of course Daddy!!! Scott got a job in CA back in October and for a short time we had some long distance going on! Scott moved to CA for the job while me and the kids stayed at our house in Utah. During this time we saw each other about 1-2 times a month... probably for about 6 months! Crazy! So when we'd come to see daddy in CA, we'd stay like a month and then head back to Utah. It was always hard cause we wanted to stay as long as we could with him but so so missed our home and good friends in Utah. I would always say it was a "bitter-sweet" ..and it sure was and still is, but we are so glad to be together as a family again, even if its living in California! :)

Oh Brielle, what am I going to do with you!!

Being the month of February, we of course celebrated Valentines Day!! We made these yummy cookies and had a small celebration with Scott as a family.

Always, always Brielle gets a few riding lessons when we are in CA. Here she is riding grandma's horse!! She is getting so brave!

Some random pics of my babies...

I think Bryce just woke up from a nap here.. So serious!

And of course some cage work from Brielle. They were getting crazy with this one. Jumping from table to chair to table. Maybe I shouldn't have been taking pics but regulating my children!

Cant remember the name of this place but its the restaurant where they cook in front of you and do a little show with their cooking skills.... Anyways, we were so in need of a family date so we went here and it was so so fun! I love these kind of restaurants. The kids loved it too!

They were sooooo entertained!

Bryce couldn't take his eyes off the grill! Loved every minute of this experience. Highly recommend this place for a fun family date where the kids actually sit still through dinner!

More pics to come!!

Bryce Man

Just some random shots of our little Bryce Man at a year and a half old! He is growing so fast its crazy! and he's even bigger now since these pics were taken at the beginning of the year!! ;)

This kid lives in his high chair. He knows that no matter what, he eats in his chair and that's that! So, its like clock work - he asks to eat, we decide on a food, and then straight to the high chair!! I swear he will be in this thing till he is 5! And I am so okay with it! Straps, buckle and a tray? YES please! :)

Bryce loves to brush his teeth. We are trying to be better with brushing teeth, cause when Brielle was little, we were not so good at brushing... So Bryce is well on his way to a happy mouth! I hope...

What is it with my kids and ice cream? Well, every kid loves ice cream I guess... but Bryce and Brielle are nuts for it! Maybe its cause their parents split a gallon of ice cream together almost nightly!

In the high chair again! Lol!

Tents! What would kids be without making tents! I remember making tents growing up and absolutely loving it! Bryce decided to stand on top of this tent and block our movie at the same time!! Love that crazy kid!

Christmas 2010 ;)

So behind!! Playing catch up :) Christmas 2010 was full of change, colds, love, family, travel, sleepless nights, Santa Clause, celebration of Christs birth, Snow, unexpected visits, and so much more! Here's just a few pics of the season. More to come!

Me and kids picking out a tree

Brielle and her creativity! Made a cage out of her toys and anything in sight. She was in to making cages for about a month straight. Super cute and quite the mess in the end ;)

Gingerbread house Brielle made at preschool...

Brielle had croup for the whole week before Xmas, She was soooooooooo sick. Finally by Xmas day, she felt better. Thank goodness! It was so sad. She basically just s

at on the couch all day sleeping or watching her favorite movies. She didn't even have a voice! :(

Ward Xmas party. Way fun! The trio was our bishopric and they looked so great! So glad I got to see it!!!

SNOW! Bryce in the snow! We love, LOVE the snow!

Snow at night...

Preschool fieldtrip. The kids got to see Santa and Bryce was NOT happy about it!! Poor kid! But Brielle was enjoying herself. Cute!

Creche festival. Brielle wanted to take baby Jesus home with her. She thought this part of the festival was super neat. We had a great experience that night...
