Temple Square/New Years

The last weekend of December we made it up to my parents for our after christmas party. It ended up being a "game night" which turned into a reunion for my little sister and her boyfriend. We were able to attend his homecoming on Sunday which was nice not to have to make another trip up later for it. We also met up with one of my really good friends Alyssa and her family and got caught up. It's been a while since we have seen them so that was nice!

 We didn't make it to the lights this year until the very last weekend! We tried earlier this month with Cody and Kelsea, but we chose the WRONG NIGHT! It was the night of the Motab christmas concert, a jazz game, and everyone and their brother going to the lights! There was NO WHERE to park, we ended up walking around the capitol! It was still a good time. We went to the lights with my family after we all went to dinner at Rodizio Grill!

 Brookie didn't like being all bundled up and her face was cold and she didn't really get a nap in before we left so needless to say, she was kinda onry! We had a good time and ended up not staying at the lights too long, it was pretty cold and Brookie zonked out!

We enjoyed our december! Lot's of fun new memories were made! Our new years this year was super boring. I felt bad, but i'm pretty sure I was asleep WAY before the new year came in! I wasn't feeling that great and being 38 weeks pregnant sleep just sounded good! lol Hope everyone had a great 2012, here is to an awesome 2013! New goals, new baby, and a lot more fun! :)

Happy New Years!

Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was great! We all got spoiled! We spent christmas again with Joeys parents and Jus and Alyssa! I had to work christmas day so we ended up doing presents and stuff at 1:00 in the morning on christmas so I could get a bit of sleep before I had to go into work.

 Brooklyn loved opening the presents. All of her presents were wrapped in Toy story Wrapping papeer! She knew exactly which presents were hers and she went to town!!

Brooklyn really loves her toys! We got her the little nursery to help a bit with baby sister on the way! She takes such good care of her babies! She even slept with them that night! Joey and I decided we were just going to spoil Brooklyn cause we both didn't need or really want anything. I got Joey tickets to the Miami Heat Vs Jazz game in January! And Joey got me a Treadmill... Obviously I won't be using it until after the baby, but I'm so excited for it!!! :)

December Craftiness

During December we did some crafts, I made this wreath I got the idea on pinterest and it was actually pretty easy to make I think it turned out just like I wanted it to!

 We also made sugar cookies, the turned out really yummy and we all got a bit messy in the process, Brookie really did have a good time making them, she is just a turd when it comes to taking pictures!

Brookie's new favorite thing to do is draw/color. She will take paper out of the printer and bring it to me or Joey and ask for her crayons or a pen! She loves it! She is pretty good at it too!

 Joey found the gun for the Wii and brought it to Joey, he figured it was the perfect opportinuty to teach her about hunting! She liked it for a couple of rounds and then was done. Maybe still a bit young to start hunting but one day i'm sure she will be all over it just like her dad!

They are sure fun to watch together! I just can't believe how fast she is growing up and all the things that she is learning! We love her so much and can't wait for her sister to join our crazy clan!

Helper Light Parade

This year we thought we would try out the Helper light parade! It was SOOOO Cold!!!! We ended up not staying for the full thing, the wind was blowing and it was starting to snow, so we got out of there! Brooklyn loved the lights though until she got cold! It was a fun little parade, we probably won't go again though unless there is better weather!

 A cold little Brookie! All snuggled up against a cold momma

Clean Ears and a big help!

Seems like every post is about Brookie lately, but I'll speak for myself and say that she is the most entertainment at our house! She is such a big help lately. She gets her diapers, throws things away (when asked) Brushes her teeth, helps make dinner, and as of recently, cleans her ears after bath time. She is going to be a good big sister!

and finally enough hair for a cute little spout! :) 

Friday Joey went to Monticello with his dad and little brother to go hiking. Me and Brookie stayed home and thanks to nesting... cleaned the house! Brookie was such a big help... She helped me scrub bathtubs and clean toilets and dust, and repaper the inside or the kitchen drawers, and probably her most favorite... fold the laundry. We had such a productive day! It's nice having helping hands, even though sometimes it takes twice as long cause the water didn't stay in the bathtub! :)

I went to the baby doctor on Friday. Baby is measuring great, my weight gain is great and her heart beat was 120-130 bpm. She is a little wiggle wort and kept kicking the doctor and bumping him off! She is head down, which is great! Hopefully she stays that way. I'm 32 weeks along and we have 7 weeks left! Time is going sooo fast! It seems like I just yesterday I found out I was pregnant again but i'll take it!! I'll try to get a picture this week....

I think that is pretty much all that is going on right now in our lives. We are looking forward to the holiday season and the many Joys that come with it!!
