Innocent

Image NOW DOES THAT LOOK LIKE TROUBLE-SO INNOCENT!!!

Our Brylee is quite the go getter, when she has her mind set to something that is what she wants and their is no stopping her. We did capture one on film after she dropped one of our glass plates and it of course shattered on the tile, yes she thought she was cute. She dumped a whole can of pop on the table and floor the other day. She likes to take scoops out of the dishwasher or washer detergent and dump on the floor, gosh if she only would put it in the right place it would sure help me out. Oh what she could have done if I didn't catch her with an open magic marker before she took action. That would not have been pretty! She is in to everything and she has helped us to realize we are done with two kids. You can definitely see the different personalities in each child and even at one year old her little personalities just shines. We do love our sweet Brylee, she is a tease and not the cuddler that Tanner was, so is always on the go. Tanner never cared for the toilet when he was little, and we did keep doors closed and so forth, but we are in trouble if Brylee gets her hands by the toilet whether it be her hands, a book, a toy, sippy cup, or her dolls head she loves to take things for dips in the toilet water. She just can't resist, so that is a number one when she is awake to make sure all rooms that have toilets access the doors remain closed. She is a tease, and especially with her brother and Dad. She loves to rough house and I don't think she realizes she is still little, because she does all she can to keep up with all her cousins that are at least two years older then her. She loves to play hide-n-seek and she is the best of all. Her favorite places to hide are under her crib or in our closet by Dads shirts. She wanted to play hide and seek when my parents were watching her one night, but they didn't know, and they noticed she didn't come back after running down the hall, so my Mom and Tanner went looking for her. They were calling her name and she still didn't come, my Mom said she just about started to worry when something told her to look in the shower. Sure enough there she was quite as can be standing there smiling when my Mom opened the shower door. Image

Lets go ride a Bike!!!

Tanner has been ready for quite a while, but just didn't have the courage to take the training wheels off his bike. My sister gave us a smaller girl bike that Jason fixed the tires and we took the training wheels off, so it was lower to the ground, and Tanner just took off. On Saturday, August 9th, 2008 was the big day, He didn't even need any help. He did so good just going around in a circle and then had a bit of a harder time going straight, but after a few falls and still falling on occasion when he starts to show off, he thinks he is a pro. Even when we tried to help him he would tell us to not help him that he could do it on his own and sure enough he did. Tanner calls his little girl bike his police bike, and noone has made fun that he is riding a girl bike yet. I hope he has the confidence to not care what other people think. He did say to his uncle Nelson last week, "I can ride a two wheeler bike, but its a girl bike." He will be on his bigger boy bike really soon I think. We were amazed at how fast he just took off. He always had such good balance even when he was 9 months old pushing around the play shopping cart, he would take those corners at my moms house like it was nothing to him down the hall. Ok, so I had to find a few pictures of him cruzn' down the hall when he was a baby. WAY TO GO TANNER!!!ImageImage

GetAway & Family Time

Image
ImageWe had our six year anniversary last week, it was a lot of fun. We had my parents watch the kids over night and right after Jason got off work we too off for SLC. I know that isn't too far, but when you don't have kids to run after worry about it was far enough. I used to live in SL for a while when I was single and working in SL, and my favorite place was temple square so walking around brought back some good memories and we even saw a gal doing what I used to do. I found my favorite quite place and just sit and think and sometimes read. In fact I used to be the cool aunt and had my nieces sleep over and we would walk down to temple square and they thought it was pretty cool. We would always take their picture in front of the temple to help remind them that is where they want to get married. Well back to our fun weekend, we looked through the good ole happenings book and found a coupon to use at a nice restraunt that we thought we would try, Christophers Steak & Seafood. I had been their for lunch when I worked in SL before, but never for dinner. It was very nice, but all about the presentation and we were still hungry after eating, so we found another coupon and got a Ben & Jerry's Icecream that topped us off. We walked arount Temple Square and took a few pictures as you can see and then the next day went up to Park city and shopped and just had a nice day together roaming around here and there. When we picked the kids up they didn't even want to go home. In fact Tanner ended up sleeping over at his cousins and Brylee just ran away from us when we walked in, she is such a tease. I am such a lucky gal to have such a great guy to be married too. I know our marriage is not perfect, but it is pretty darn good. Jason is such a great father, Brylee has become quite the Daddy's Girl, and he is just a kid at heart when it comes to playing with the kids. He is the hardest worker and when given something to do you know it will be perfect and done at 110%. Thanks for all you do for me and our family Jason, I love you!! Image
Also we had a fun Family Night the other night, we went to Frosted Rock then went on a family bike ride. Tanner will soon be riding without training wheels as he did ask Jason to take them off the other night. We love doing things as a family even if it a short bike ride, going out for icecream or a shake, going camping together, playing a game, reading, or whatever it may be, because Family is Everything!!
Also is a picture of my first thing I made for the house I have been a slacker at putting things on the walls unless they already had a nail up, but now I am trying to get things up on the walls. I think it turned out good. I have had my ledges and above my cabinets done for a while, so I thought it were about time to get the rest done since my busy summer is about over.
