February has flown by and before I knew it I only had one more day to post in February. Kaycen is growing so fast and Brigs is becoming more and more protective. At first I thought I was crazy for having the two so close together, but they are becoming friends and making it all worth it.

Brigston is keeping us on our toes. Lately he has been telling us he wants to go to school. ( He has some friends that already go.) He will get his backpackout and fill it with lots of fun things. Kaycen is rolling over now and loves attention. He thinks it's funny when his older brother gets in trouble. Kaycen is also the soft hearted one in the family. If its too noisy or he gets startled the water works turn on........I love them both so much. My boys are my world and I am so greatful every day that God has blessed me with these two little handfuls.

Happy Valentines Day

The weekend before Valentines we were up in Ogden. We got the kids
together and made Valentine cookies and had a Valentine dinner.

My two Valentines!!

SNOW!

We finally got a little bit of snow...this year just hasn't been the same. Brigs had a lot of fun but still didn't know what to think. Hopefully there are still a few good snow storms ahead.

Some Fun Thing in January

Our little Kaycen is growing fast and is starting to eat a little. He just hasn't figured out
how to swallow just yet and will get upset.

We did go to the arcade and Brigs had quite a bit of fun. Here he is with his cousin!

I think these two will be good friends. For the most part Brigs is a big helper and Kaycen will watch his big brother all day long.

Brigs got in trouble on this night and was supposed to go to bed. We tucked him in and wondered why things were a little too quiet. Yeah......we had a hard time not laughing over this.

2012 sure did start off with a bang. January went by all too fast.

Looking Forward to 2012......

Worst blogger of the year.......that possibly could be me. The past year has flown by. Our lives are changing like crazy and before you know it......yeah this is my first blog post this year.

I blame it on kids....husband....work....and a never ending list of things that have to get done around the house. The life of a mother.

NEW YEAR GOAL.......Blog once a month. I will try and be much better, but for now I think we can do this.

For anyone that does follow up on this blog. I hope you all had a wonderful year in the past and from our family to yours, we wish you a Happy New Year!!!

Halloween 2010

Brig's could have cared less about carving pumpkins this year he was too interested in the cupcakes and home made root beer Ashley made for the kids.

We ended up trick or treating at my parents this year. They have a lot of kids in the neighborhood and it was fun.

Found out Brigs has a thing for suckers. This picture is also probably from a sugar high. Oh well Halloween only comes once a year.

Sunday I was able to get off of work so we surprised Grandma and Grandpa Farrell. Brigs had fun hanging out with his cousins and having chili. Halloween turned out to be fun this year, I didn't know if Brigs would really understand what was going on, but he seemed to enjoy it anyway.

Taylee's Hunt

Taylee lucked out in getting a bookcliff's tag this year and invited us to go. Of course the morning Brigs and I slept in she found her deer. Oh well he still enjoyed seeing it after. We had a great time and learned Brigs really enjoys the outdoors. Taylee would get mad at him for saying WOW all the time and scaring the deer.

Disneyland

This was Brig's very first plane ride and I was very surprised how he was for a lap child. He actually slept both flights and of course enjoyed the plane's pretzels.

His first time in the ocean was a little cold but he enjoyed it for a little while.

For the most part Brigs enjoyed the rides, but some of them were a little too scary.

Overall I think his favorite part was the characters. He was very interested in them. We had a great time and can't wait to go again (with daddy next time!)

Pondering......

Well life I guess is always the same, bad always comes with the good. I continually have to stop and remind myself to count all my blessings. Through work and family lately I seem to continually meet negative people and it's made me all the more appreciative of what I have at home, and what really matters. Life is full of obstacles that are negative, family is always there to lift you up and I think that satan is continually out there trying to tear families apart. In the end FAMILIES ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER. That is why the church if focused on family time and love. It is the one thing you can count on to bring you joy and happiness. Time and time again I have seen people struggle and it's because they have turned away from their families. If we remember the carefree days when we were younger, and that love that can be found in the home, we will always find happiness.

Bear Lake 2010

I had only driven by Bear Lake once so I was so excited when we planned a trip there.
It is such a beautiful place.
The kids really enjoyed the beach. There wasn't a day that
we didn't find sand in mouths, food, diapers, and about everything else.

It was really nice just getting away and enjoying the sun!

During Raspberry days there is a craft fair and the kids were wanting to play on the bouncers. We decided to leave it up to the guys. Well the owner thought it would be fun the let the men race. I think they had a blast, but they both were limping
around for the next day.

Raspberry Days Parade

In the condo Brigs and his cousins loved playing peek a boo. The boys had so much fun together, and I think we are all going to have our hands full in the next couple years!!

Turning One

Brig's turned 1 on August 1, but we celebrated July 31.

We had lots of fun, even though Brigston wasn't too sure about what was going on.

He usually is a big eater so I was so excited about letting him have his own cake. He wasn't interested at all. He was playing in it but would spit it out every time we put some in his mouth.

We ended up going to Gardener's Village after the park and went to the petting zoo. The kids had a lot of fun. They all even enjoyed the pony rides.I really didn't know how I would react to my baby turning one, but things went pretty well. I love the fact that he is getting big because he is so much fun. We are seeing new things on a daily basis now and I'm just anxious to see what Brig's loves next.

The Trout Farm

Grandma with the kids.
We thought it would be fun to take the kids fishing. In Ogden there is a Trout Farm.

Just seeing all the fish was fun!

Clint and Brigs had a good time together, and for the first fishing trip we had a lot of fun. We caught four fish in all. This is a place we will have to visit again.

So Much, So Fast....

Brigs has found his little legs and has learned how to rock back and forth on them. It's only a matter of time before the house will need to become baby proof and our little guy will be everywhere.

For Christmas my parents gave Brigs this rocking horse, but since when we travel we take the house we haven't been able to bring it home since this weekend. Brigs absolutely loves it.

With more interaction, comes getting tired fast. Brigs loves the blankets. This one was one the couch. I was in the kitchen and came to check on him when things were too quiet. He has been falling asleep on the front room floor often. It is so sweet.
