Bryanna 8th party

Bryanna had her big 8th birthday this week. We had so much fun. It was a rough week for Bryanna because she got her tonsils out the Friday before her birthday party. She had a rough recover since we found out that she can't have a certain kind of pain killer. She is now doing so much better and I am so glad to have my sweet little girl back. I can't believe that eight years old I was in the hospital staring at this cute baby. It is so amazing that they grow up so fast. I have been thinking a lot of my mom and how she would love this little girl so much. For her birthday party she wanted to go to build a bear with her close friends and have a sleep over. We had to push the sleep over in a few weeks, because she was having so much pain still, but here are the pictures of the fun we did have.

The lady at the store helping Bryanna she was so cute with all the kids.

Getting ready with name tags.

Before Build a bear we had a restaurant at the house. It was called Bryanna's Place. We served Italian food. Bryan and I were the servers. The girls laughed so hard. It was so much fun.

Eating dinner what a cute bunch a girls. I am so grateful that my daughter has some great friends.

The cute animals all done.
Then we went back home for dessert.

Kyle's 2nd Brithday

For Kyle's second birthday we went to Thanksgiving Point. Kyle and Bryanna had so much fun. He loved playing in the water. We went with our friends and it was so much fun to have them there. I can't believe that my little guy is 2. He loves to have things his way and if they are not. Then he lets you know. He is a daddy's boy and is so sad when he has to leave to go to meetings.




Here is Kyle, Bryanna and Daddy playing a game at Thanksgiving Point. Oh how I love these people.

Kyle got a new race track for his birthday. He loves car, trucks and trains. A true boy. But he loves to play babies with his sister. His smile can help your heart.

More race track fun. I think Bryanna loved it as much as Kyle.

We did cupcakes and Kyle wanted to touch the fire. I think we might me in trouble this summer when we go camping. We love Kyle in our family he brings a whole new look to life. Happy Birthday little guy.....

Christmas 2011 part 2

Since Christmas was on a Sunday the kids got new church clothes. Bryanna loved her sparkle green dress. Of course it is green. Everything would be green if I would let her.

Opening more presents Christmas morning.

Look I got cute clothes.

My cute boy before we go to Church. We were lucky enough to be able to go to church with daddy. Since it was Christmas he didn't have any extra meetings. We had to stay with him to lock everything up. It was so nice to be able to ride with my husband even if we didn't get to sit with him during church. Since Christmas was on a Sunday it made the spirit so strong. I love it.

Christmas 2011

It is about time that I post the Christmas Pictures. It has been a buys time since Christmas. The kids had so much fun year. Since we just did a big family vacation to Disneyland. Santa went lighter on the gifts. Kyle got a race track with his shake and go cars. He loves it and plays with it all the time. Plus anybody that comes to visit also love it. It was face was so cute and he opens each present.


Here is Bryanna's doll house . This is what she really wanted. Santa got such a good deal on this that we couldn't pass it up. She loves it and it is fun to watch her play with it. I loved her face.

On Christmas Eve everybody got new pj. The kids and I thought it would be funny if daddy got Elmo jammies so that is what he got. It made Bryanna laugh so hard. Kyle loves them too. He loves to point to Elmo anytime he has them on. Kyle got cars jammies.

Here is Bryanna with her Hello Kitty jammies. My kids love their jammies.

The kids also got remote control cars. Bryanna's was a pony airplane and Kyle got a train. It is fun to watch them work them around the house. The funny thing is to watch Bryanna put her hamster in the airplane. Christmas is such a great time of the year. It is my favorite holiday. I love watching my kids eyes light up. I know now why my mother loved it so much. Christmas is such a giving time of year and the spirit is so strong. I am so grateful for the amazing memories that I have of Christmas. What a great day....

Gingerbread Houses Part 1

This year the kids got a two week break off of school. They had a week before Christmas and a week after Christmas. So I decided to find fun activities to keep them busy. We had this great idea to have a party where we made gingerbread houses. So we invited all of Bryanna and Kyle friends and family over. It was a lot more Bryanna friends but there were a few friends of Kyle's. I put the houses together and then everybody helped with the candy. Lets say we had a lot of candy to go around. It was so fun to watch them decorate and eat yummy treats. Above you will see Bryanna with her friends Chloe, Charlie, McCall, and Danielle came.

My little K-man just woke up and he didn't know what to think about all the people sitting at the table so he did his on the couch. He thought it was fun to eat it. He put some on his house and then quickly ate them.

Chloe's older sister Allie came to help. She is such a sweetheart and I was grateful for some help. My niece and nephew Abby and Zack came. I love it that my kids have some cousins close and their age. It is so fun to do things with them.

More of the crew. Kyle's friend Asher came too. He was making a bat man house. He was so funny. He made me laugh so hard.

My cute niece showing off her stuff.

Bryanna in December

This December Bryanna was pretty busy. She had a dance recital and
a singing performance at the school. Above is her dance recital. It is
so much fun to watch her. I can't believe she is getting so big
and she is developing some fun talents.

This is what she wore for her dance recital. They were
dancing to Santa Baby.

Bryanna singing with her class.

Here they are again. Kyle loved it so much that he
went to sleep. It was such a busy day for him
