June 2011

I think Miles had told me one morning that he was hungry and wanted breakfast then got down stairs before I could.  I heard some commotion and came around the corner to find this.  Guess he gave up waiting for me and decided to get his own breakfast!

We got the "Pass of All Passes" this year and had lots of fun with them.  Here at Trafalga in Lehi, the boys LOVED the bumper boats.

Well, Miles didn't really enjoy getting wet, lol.

There weren't many rides they would let me on being pregnant (with Luke).  I could only handle one ride on the carousel because it made me so dizzy and nauseous.

I don't know who loved the race cars more, Jack or Britton. ;)

Every time Jack came around he would yell, "Mom, I'm flying...can you see me?!"

Jack played on a Marv Jensen Rec Center soccer team this spring and was really into - in the beginning anyway.  It was "fun" trying to watch and support Jack, but entertain Miles at the same time so he wouldn't run onto the playing field after the ball.

"Look, Mom, I made a camel!"

What a trophy!  First thing Jack did was like it like an ice cream cone, lol.

What a special memory that Jack got to play soccer with his cousin Porter and friend Kaitlyn!

And of course, Jack made fast friends on his team as well.

Easter
The Easter Bunny was a tad lazy last year ;) but it was still fun for Jack and Miles to find their Easter baskets and hunt for eggs in the back yard!

Jack's First Soccer Team
Jack was SO excited to play soccer this past year and he was pretty good too!

Jack even made a few goals!

This was a special team; Jack got to play with his cousin, Porter, and good friend Kaitlyn...and of course he quickly became friends with the rest of the team too.

Random
Miles came in my room one day SO proud of himself.  He stuck the Mister Potato Head mouth and eyes in his ear holes and called them earrings, LOL!

There is something so serene about Miles when he is sleeping...maybe it's his eyelashes, but I could just watch him sleep all night.

Trip to the Zoo
This was our last trip to the zoo with the season pass I had purchased the year before.  We finally used the carousel tickets that we got when we became members.

I have a picture just like this of Britton with Jack when he was younger...in almost this exact spot at the zoo

We had train tickets to use too!

So, I guess I didn't take many pictures during these months.  The first part of my pregnancy with Luke was somewhat harsh and so I'm using that as my excuse for not being too camera happy . . . in fact, I wasn't all that camera happy during the entire pregnancy (this entire year) it seems.

Miles at 18 Months Old

Poor Aunt Becky can't seem to get rid of us!  She's always so kind to take pictures for us and we love how these 18 month pictures of Miles turned out!  I seriously can't believe it has already been about a year since these were taken.  Here are a couple of my favorites!

Jack's Birthday
Grandma and Grandpa B got home from their 3 year mission in Kirtland, Ohio a week or two before Jack's birthday and when we asked him who he wanted to invite over to celebrate of course he said Grandma and Grandpa!

Mmmm, who doesn't like licking the frosting off the candles?!?!

Miles surely enjoyed the cake as well :)

And here's some of Aunt Becky's handy work again!  These are Jack's 4 year pictures.  He makes the best faces . . . I couldn't resist posting some of the fun ones too!

Our 7 Year Engagement Anniversary

We decided to have lunch together to celebrate our engagement anniversary, so I drove downtown to meet Britton (on St. Patrick's Day).  We ate yummy burgers at Rich's a block or so from the courthouse.  

Odds & Ends

Miles was in LOVE with the leapster that Jack got from Santa!

Jack using the toilet rug as a superhero cape.  Gross, I know!  But I couldn't help but crack up and grab the camera when he came "flying" into my room to show me how he saves the day, lol!

Man, I love me some Krispy Kreme donuts!!!  And yes, I know that is grammatically incorrect, hahaha.  :)  

Check out that glaze face!

December 2010

Did you catch that?  If you didn't read very closely, you may have thought that I was making a post about last month, because that would only be natural.  What isn't natural is that it has now been over a year since my last post.  How sad.  Well, I am picking up where I left off, but don't think this means that I will be posting every day from now on.  I'm starting with baby steps.  :)

I think this is one of the boxes we store our Christmas decorations in...why do we even get our kids toys?!?!  Seriously, the best things to play with are always the non-toys, right?

Our annual Christmas Eve impromptu Nativity "play" with Britton's side of the family.  Jack played Joseph this year and Miles refused to participate.

Our little Christmas corner.

What Santa left for the boys.

I LOVE Miles's reaction to the presents!

Jack wanted a sleeping bag SO bad...good thing Santa brought him one!

I love how excited Miles gets about this present, but I'm not a big fan of my goofy face.  Oh, and Jack says something about the toy being for a girl because he saw a picture on the back of a girl playing with it.

This is Jack telling us Santa ate his cookies and the reindeer ate the carrots we left out for them.

Hanging out as a family, playing with Christmas presents after having what I call "Breakfast Skillet", apple turnovers and orange juice for breakfast.

I don't remember what it was, but we asked Miles something and he shook his head "No".  When Britton said "No" all funny like he does in this video it cracked Miles up, so he kept shaking his head so Britton would keep saying "No" like he did before.
