easter

Waiting for me to tell him he could go find the eggs.

"I found one."

Cool! What did the Easter Bunny bring? We had a wonderful Easter. After conference we went to Mom and Dad's and had more food and fun with family.

Our Kitty

We have a train robber, highway man, Godzilla or just a curious kitty. You decide. Brandon and I put together his train track and our kitten decided that she too should investigate. Here are the results. Brandon is laughing so hard he just couldn't stop. It was hilarious.

Out of order but Brandon turns 6!

Brandon turned 6 in Febuary and boy was he excited! He had his first birthday party and had lots of friends over. Here are a couple of pictures.

Happy St. Patricks Day

We were trying to take a picture of us as a family for St. Patricks Day......these are the results :) This one is good.

whoops, what happened to Brandon?

Awww! What a cutie.

LOL! Eyes are closed :)

Aw, here we go. Happy St. Patricks Day everyone.

Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Brandon is old enough to remember what it was like last year and was so excited. As soon as he got up Christmas Eve morning he was ready to go to Grandma's and Papa's house (my sister said the same thing about Jayden). This picture is from a week before Christmas.

We get together at my parents house on Christmas Eve, eat tons of food and then and have the grandkids reinact the nativity story. Brandon is a shepherd this year. He has 7 boy cousins so they have to take turns being Joseph (he was last Joseph last year). After that it's PRESENT time!!!!!
Well the computer wont let me post any more pictures. I will try later. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and hope you all have a wonderful new year.

Halloween '09

This is our young caped crusader "Batman". He enjoyes "trunk or treating" and sliding on his knees at the ward "trunk or treat". I just love this picture.

Our Story...

I love the story that Jamie Lee Curtis wrote about her adoptive children. I decided to make one for Brandon complete with picures..

Tell me again about the day I was born...
Tell me again how you had just come home from church when you got the phone call that I was born.
Tell me again how excited you were that you were going to be my parents.
Tell me again how you couldn't get ahold of Daddy to let him know I was coming home (because he was in Iraq).
Tell me again how you called Grandma and Papa to let them know I was born.
Tell me again how excited they were to "help" you get me.
Tell me again how Daddy finally got a hold of you at the airport and then found out that I was born.
Tell me again how excited Daddy was to hear the news.
Tell me again how you couldn't grow a baby in your tummy, so another woman (who couldn't take care of a baby), would be my birth mom and you would be my mommy and daddy.
Tell me again about the first time you held me in your arms, of how you cried happy tears.
Tell me again about staying at the motel for a couple of days before we could go home.
Tell me again about my first bath and how I was not very impressed.
Tell me again how I got to fly home in an airplane at four days old and everyone thought I was such a handsome boy.
Tell me again how I met Daddy at the airport for the first time.
Tell me again about the day I was sealed to you and Daddy for ever and ever!
Tell me again how much you love me.
