Christmas family photo shoot... kinda..

California to Utah, to California... then back to Utah... then back to California.. So much back and forth I don't know where I am anymore! ;) Flight was leaving for me and the kids in less then 24 hours and OOPS!! forgot to take family pics before the long distance relationship started up again!!! Couldn't take a family picture without daddy!!!!!! So 8 o'clock at night, we threw outfits together and freshened up and BAM!! ..a Christmas family photo shoot was created! These are some of our photos that we whipped together.. and the cute brunette is Makaylee my brother's little girl. She wanted in on some photos too! It was fun and kinda crazy (if you know me and taking pictures!) and thanks Brett for helping us out on such last notice!!

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)

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!!! ;)

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!

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! ;)
