Love Them

A fun day with Grandma and Aunties

We were finally able to get together with my mom and sisters. They drove up from Utah to come see us yesterday!! We had soo much fun! 

I have NO makeup on in any of these pictures but I had to post them.

We got a little carried away playing in photo booth. I think we took around 50 pictures in like 10 minutes. haha. 

I think Bry makes the cutest chipmunk.

 And Tacey makes the cutest bug.

The girls danced and sang for everyone.

Tacey has my mom's vest on, Briky's bracelets, and she was wearing Sacia's glasses. haha. 

Thanks so much for coming and seeing us Mom, Sacia, and Briky. We are now going through some withdrawals not having you here. ): Love You Guys!!

This is a picture of both girls at the EXACT SAME AGE doing the exact same thing. 

I could not get Brylee to hold still for a picture. 

                             

BTW, if you couldn't tell what was all over their faces it is mascara. I obviously didn't learn my lesson the first time around and STILL don't know how to hide my makeup. (:

Do ya think they look alike? I think so. Tacey just had quite a bit more hair at that age than Brylee does now.

Christmas!

Christmas this year was crazy. I felt like we never stopped moving. It was so fun, but I will admit I am tired. 

One of my favorite things we did was go to my grandma and grandpa Tegan's house. We headed there on the 23rd. My grandma put so much work into the party. There was constantly something fun going on. Santa came, we had a hay ride, the kids did a nativity scene for us, there were games for the adults, and of course yummy food. I am so glad we went, it was an amazing night.

On Christmas Eve we then headed over to my Aunt Carmen's house. This was also an amazing night. I love it when everyone can get together and just enjoy each other. 

Brylee NEVER left grandpa's side all week. I have never seen her so quiet or content.  She loves him so.

Sacia and I rockin Christmas shirts!

Girls opening their Christmas Eve jammies.

My grandpa makin us all laugh. 

Dad and Uncle Coop

One of my favorite moments of the night was Jordy serenading us. Haha. 

and there were some awesome ugly sweaters going on. Wish I would have gotten a picture of them all.

We ended the night by talking about what we were most grateful for and reminiscing. The spirit was strong and I went to bed with a warm heart. I love my family and am so grateful for them and their great examples. Especially the women in my family, they are amazing. 

Christmas morning didn't go quite the way I planned. Tacey beat us upstairs so I was kinda bummed. I woke up to little footsteps running around upstairs so I jumped out of bed as quick as I could! haha, little turkey. 

SQUINKIES!!

Since Rhett and I got a new computer this year we decided that we weren't going to buy anything else. Well when he saw that I still did a stocking for him I think he panicked. 

I woke up to a peanut butter and jam sandwich, marshmellows, fruit loops, a coke, a banana, cream of chicken soup, and some "slightly" used deodorant. 

Can't say the man didn't try.

I absolutely loved having Christmas on Sunday this year. My dad's ward only had sacrament meeting. It was such an amazing meeting. The spirit was so strong. It was an hour long music program and it was beautiful. 

I dressed the girls up in their new outfits for church. They looked pretty dang cute.

After Christmas Rhett and I got some food poisoning and that was no fun at all. Just glad I had people around to take care of the kids. We did have to postpone our trip to my moms house because of us getting sick, that is what sucked most. 

So, we still have one more Christmas to celebrate with my mama and sisters and we can't wait!! 

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Happy Birthday Brylee!!!

My little Bry turned TWO right before Christmas (Dec 22). It is soo crazy to me. It terrifies me how quickly time goes by. I feel so blessed to be Brylee's mom. I LOVE how she makes me smile everyday.  She is the sweetest little stinker you will ever meet. 

Rhett and I decided not to do a big party this year. But it ended up being such a fun day. 

Brylee woke up to a picture from her daddy. That really made her smile(:

She had decided that purple was her favorite color that week. So I made her purple cream of wheat. The girls thought that was so fun.

I honestly have no idea how this happened. 

Rhett's family was in town so later that night we met up at Dairy Queen to celebrate.

Rhett picked out this adorable cake! It was an ice cream cake and it was so dang good. 

After Dairy Queen Tacey and I headed out to Walmart cause Tacey wanted to pick out a present for Brylee. 

Brylee's favorite movie is Beast (Beauty and the Beast). So Tacey picked out a Beauty and the Beast toy. Brylee was in heaven. She didn't put it down for days.

And I had to throw this picture in of Brylee asleep on the stairs. haha, she cracks me up.
