Emily and Steven's special day...

Here's all the family and friends while waiting for Emily and Steven to come out of the temple... We were all waiting very patiently... taking lots of pictures and wishing the rain away :)

Brielle was loving all the beautiful flowers surrounding the S.D. temple. Here's 1 of like 20 pictures of her smelling and prancing around the flowers...

Grandma Sue and Brielle smiling for the camera and getting ancy for the newly weds to appear...

Me and my pregnant belly... It was really cold outside so I made sure to bundle up in my UTAH snow jacket! Silly CA weather...who would've thought it could get so cold!!!

Scott and cute little Brielle!!! So many pictures, I just can't resist sometimes!! :)

FINALLY HITCHED!!

Emily and Steven "just married" and looking sooo stinkin darling together!

The Milligan brothers looking sharp and handsome...

All the nieces and nephews of both Emily and Stevens family. They all looked adorable...

Emily and her bridesmaids in a Kodak moment. What fun girls to be in a wedding with. We had a great time together!!

Me and cute Emily posing for the camera. We just love her to pieces and are sooo glad to have her be part of the family!! She is one awesome friend and now sister-in-law. Love you Em!! :)

Cute boys and girls!!

Thankfully the sun came out and the weather was beautiful at the reception. What a great day it turned out to be!! Sooo the children were definitely one of the highlights at the reception. They were all over the place dancing and having way too much fun.. Here's a couple shots of Brielle dancing with Emily's sister's little boy Wright. It was so funny and cute to see them holding each other like the adults. They danced for a long time too. I think Brielle has a new crush!! What a great wedding to be a part of and what a great time we all had. Congratulations to Steven and Emily!

Playtime in San Diego

Here we are in Carlsbad CA counting down the days until Emily and Steven get married. While waiting for their special day, we decided to go play at the beach and explore beautiful San Diego!

Eating lunch at a DELICIOUS Mexican restaurant that I cant remember the name of... but it was so yummy! It was me, Scott, Brielle, Steven, Emily, and Mommy Sue (Scott's mom). We had so much fun eating lunch with Brielle making silly faces and dripping salsa into my soda. We probably laughed a little too much that day :)

To the temple we go.......

Here we all are at the temple.. Well templeSSS. First we went to the temple with Steven at the Timpanogos Temple and about 3 weeks later, we went to the San Diego Temple with Emily. Both for their first time!! It was sooo neat to go with them and to see them get closer to being married.

Brycer and favorites!

One of my favorite phrases, "Heyyyyyyy, I want some!"

(Jan 2012)

We are in the dessert riding quads and Bryce is on the quad all day long with daddy and he ends up falling asleep on the quad. It was time to go anyways and so we then put him in the car to go home and when he wakes up from his nap, the first thing he says is, "where's my helmet" because he had his helmet all day and he never let it go whether it was on his head or in his lap, his helmet was with him. It was awesome!

(December 31, 2011) (2 years old and 5 months)

Sings about 6 primary songs from start to finish.

I am a Child of God, Families Can Be Together Forever, I love to See the Temple, When I am Baptized, Popcorn Popping, Sunbeam song,

(By Jan 2012, 2 yrs and 5 months old)

Can officially sing "I am a Child of God" and is mastering the song "Families Can Be Together Forever" (almost 2)

Loves Firetrucks and sirens...

Swims like a fish. Jumps in all by himself and swims to the side and gets out. Kinda scary for mom!!! :) (7/2011)

Talks a ton! (7/2011)

Bryce man is talking SOOOO much now! Favorite words and sentences are...

dinosaur, horse, Brielle, burrito -- the way he says these words with that tiny little voice is soooo dang cute!

"Lay by me"

"Press play!"

"Brielle night night, Daddy night night"

Starting to sing along ABCs, can do A through G - now thats my favorite! (5/24/11)

Counts 1 through 5 all by himself! (5/24/11)

Jesus - knows him by picture

Tells me when he's "Pooped it!" - not my favorite ;(

Folds arms and says a super basic prayer, w/help of course!!

LOVES his daddy!! Don't know how we lived w/out one for so long cause the kid is obsessed!

LOVES the trash truck! Every Tuesday we are out on the porch early morning to watch the trash man dump everyones trashcans!

Answers yes or no questions pretty well now and the funniest to me is when I ask, "Bryce, want to go to swimming lessons?" Bryce always answers with a BIG smile and says a drawn out "Noooooo!"

18 to 22 months

Brielle's cute, random comments that I love!!

Brielle knows how much her Dad loves long hair.. So when about to get it cut she says, "Daddy would kill me if he knew I was cutting my hair!" I quickly responded saying, "No way would he do that and Daddy will absolutely love your new short hair!! Sorry Scott! Its officially short like Mommys!!!!! And is dang cute! ;) (7/2011)

Grandama just bought a bag of Hershey's Kisses and we had been eating them all morning... later that day Brielle comes up to me and asks, "Mom, can I have some more of those big chocolate chips with the tags?" I laughed so hard!!! ;)

~Nov 2010

So Brielle is riding Grandma Hoyal's horse all by herself for the very first time when all of a sudden, the horse stops to poop. Brielle has a concerned face and drops the reins... My sister then asks, "Brielle, why did you drop the reins?" and Brielle sincerely responds, "Because I don't want to get poop on my hands!" We were dying!! :) Now that was hilarious!

~Feb 2011

Not sure why "poop" is the highlight of Brielle's comments lately but I just have to share another!

So Brielle is trying to go to the bathroom - #2 of course - and as she finishes she says, "Dad, just a little tiny bit came out this time.... (Brielle now thinking really hard about what she is about to say next) ....Like the dot in the "i" in my name" ..It was a well thought out moment and although going to the bathroom is never cute, this was a cute, funny moment! ;)
