This and That

Here are some of the more "colorful" pictures of late.

This face is becoming on of our favorites, Brynn pulls her bottom lip up and pudges out her cheeks and smiles.

If Quinntin tries to take a nap or just rest on the floor the kids are pulled like magnets to sit on Daddy.

Brynn has a fondness for her toes.

Kora and her "muscles."

We were having a movie night and the children "claimed" the couch.

Brynnlee giving her ever present smile. She has no shortage.

Kora enjoyed the black frosting on the Steeler's cupcakes we made for the Superbowl.

And the best for last Brynnlee working on her bubble blowing technique.

4 Months Already?!

Brynnlee is our little watcher. She is content as a baby can be. She loves just sitting in your lap and taking in all the excitement and entertainment provided by her brother and sister. On the 6th of January she rolled over for the first time and was quite upset about the whole thing. (since she got stuck) Parker and Kora love having their little sister around and are constantly fighting about who gets to try and make her laugh. They have to take turns because if they try at the same time it's a bit overwhelming for Brynn and she looks at them like they are crazy.

Brynn loves to smile and be happy but when it comes to pictures she stares them down!

She is growing so well and kind of a stretch. She's in the 93 percentile for height and only the 30th percentile for weight. Everyday we are amazed and what she learns how to do and what she finds funny. Lately she has fine tuned her spitting and she can make a cute squeak with her lips. We are so glad to have her apart of our family. (I just wish she would slow down on the growing up)

Las Vegas Airplanes and Chocolate

We spent the last weekend in Las Vegas and saw some pretty cool things, and learn some very important things.

#1 Cool Thing

Nellis Air Base hosted an air show that Parker and Quinntin got to go to. They saw all kinds of new and old planes. Parker was a trooper and didn't even get burned.

#2 Cool Thing

The M&M World shop on the strip was 4 floors of everything chocolate and fun toys in the shapes of the M&M Characters. The kids liked the free 10 minute 3D movie as well as the wall of M&M's in every color possible.

#1 Thing We learned

It is possible to swim out side in Vegas in Novemeber but not for very long especially with a 2 month old, a 2 year old and a 4 year old.

#2 Thing We Learned

The strip is not easy to navigate with two strollers and you do get a lot of looks carting around 3 kids in Vegas.

#3 Thing We Learned

It takes twice as long to get around a casino when you are trying to avoid the slots (the kids wanted to "play") and trying to keep an eye on every child.

All in all it was a lot of fun and we are now home freezing!

Happy Halloween

The last two weeks of october were a blast! We got to go up to SLC and visit the witches at Gardener Village. We played and ate and shopped, the kids especially liked the witch hula-hooping and the witches flying in the air. We seriously used up all their energy they even cuddled up to a witch to take a nap.


The night before Halloween the elementary held a carnival where the kids danced, mixed up vials of sweet treats and even tossed a few rats for a prize. We then went home carved and hammered pumpkins, and ate white ghost cookies to finish off the night.

On Halloween night we spent the evening at the Trunk-or-Treat at thte church and eventhough it was really windy we made a killing in candy!



Parker was the only on to actually go trick-or-treating around the block that night. Kora met a fog machine at her second house and came right home.

Thanks to Nana for our adorable costumes, we definately turned heads, especially our little "stinker" in her skunk costume.

My Sweet Children

Just couldn't help the Kodak moment last night.

I already have it as my wallpaper and I thought I'd share it with all of you.

Quinntin's The Birthday King

Kora Rae wanted Daddy to celebrate his birthday in style so she made him a Crown! She was so excited that he barely got through the door before she dragged him into the front room to put his crown on. He wore it most of the night and he couldn't have been prouder.

Quinntin was well taken care of all day his mom brought him doughnuts and chocolate milk for breakfast, his sister, Tiffany, brought him his favorite Hermie burger for lunch at work, Quinntin got to grill for dinner and we ate cheesecake for desert. Quinntin got to order a new Airplane he's been wanting to model, and a new case for his scriptures. He was SPOILED! That's okay though I think he deserves it. I love you Quinntin. Happy Birthday!

Brynn's Day

We had the priviledge to bless Brynnlee on Sunday and we had a wonderful luncheon afterwards. Thank you to all that were able to come and brought delicious food and goodies. We to those that wanted to and couldn't make it we were thinking about you.
