Nikson Turns The Big 3!!

My sweet baby boy turned 3 this January! Wow! Time goes by so fast...it seems like yesterday that he was born. Crazy! Well he had an eventful week long birthday! We first celebrated with my family at Aunt Jen's house (I forgot my camera so we are lacking those pictures!), then on his actual birthday, we took him to Chuckie Cheese! It was so much fun! Grandma Chris and Grandpa Denny came also Jen and Emma. Then Saturday we did a combined Mickey Mouse Birthday with Brigham Wilcox who is Nikson's friend! Their birthdays are two days apart! This was his first "friend" birthday! He was a little shy still but seemed to have a good time! That evening we went to Jake's parents house for Jake and Nikson's combined dinner party. I promised Nikson that I would make him a Mickey Mouse cake to take with us...so I started baking away as soon as all the kids left our house that morning. I started making frosting and was running out of time so I asked for Jake's help! He started decorating the Mickey cake and was doing such a great job that I asked him to do the whole thing!! Nikson was so excited once it was all done! He kept telling us "thats the best Mickey Mouse cake EBER"!!! I am so glad he had such a good 3rd birthday! I love you Nikson! You truly are the best little boy with the sweetest personality I could ever ask for!

(I always put the pictures in the wrong order of when they happened..sorry!)

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!! :)

Brynlin's Special Day!!

Yesterday we blessed my sweet baby girl! She looked SO beautiful...thanks to my mom and all her hard work making the most gorgeous blessing dress I have ever seen!! She did an amazing job! Jake's dad gave the blessing and did such a great job. Afterwards we had a luncheon at our house and had lots of yummy food thanks to both of our families and friends! It went so well and I had a ton of help from my sweet sisters! Thanks to everyone who helped and came! I am truly blessed to have such great family and friends!!

Brynlin's Room!

Well I've had multiple people asking me to post pictures of Brynlin's room...so here they finally are! Enjoy!

Mickey and Minnie!!

Halloween was so much fun! My mom was so nice to make Brynlin a cute little Minnie Mouse outfit so she could match Nikson aka Mickey Mouse! Jake took Niks out trick or treating and Brynlin and I stayed home and passed out candy! Then we were off to see the grandparents!! It was a fun night and my kids looked so dang cute...even if Nikson wouldn't let us paint his nose and barely wore the hat and gloves for a few pictures and trick or treating!! I love Halloween!!

The Pumpkin Patch!!

Anyone who knows me, knows I love Halloween so much and one of my favorite things to do each October is to go to the pumpkin patch and pick out a bunch of pumpkins to carve and put on my front porch! This year we didn't get to carving our pumpkins..... (which makes me so sad to even admit it! Along with that I didn't get my Halloween decorations up!) but we did go as a family and had lots of fun looking for the perfect pumpkins for each one of us! Maybe we can still carve a few just for fun even though Halloween is over!! We'll carve turkeys on them!!!

Shot Guns and Collar Bones!!

So this is Nikson's first shot gun!! His new prize for........

Breaking his collar bone! 2 weeks ago Nikson was asleep with me in my bed, and being a total crazy sleeper, rolled off in the middle of the night. He cried for 2 hours straight. We kept asking him what hurt and finally Jake came to the conclusion that it had to be his collar bone. We were going to the doctor in the morning for Brynlin's 2 wk appointment, so we decided to wait and just take him then too. We had to take hime to Primary Children's to get an xray and low and behold he did break it! SO! Back to the doctors to get a brace for him to wear so he was more comfortable. Poor baby boy! Broke my heart to see him in so much pain. It is so amazing though how tough kids are. Dang! I am such a wimp compared to him! He luckily is doing so much better now!

Pretty happy kid for just breaking a bone!
