My Awesome Presents

This is what I got from Tom this year.  Poppies are everywhere here in the springtime and these are by a local artist Pino Giuseppe.

Christmas Morning

Brighton absolutely LOVED Christmas this year.  She spent all month getting ready for it - she shopped, she visited Santa and told him what she wanted, she bought gifts for Daddy, Mommy, Landon, Grandma and Grandpa, she made cookies for Santa and she even put out reindeer food.  She was so excited Christmas morning to open up all her gifts!  Santa brought her a computer which was her hands-down favorite gift.  She can get emails (pre-programmed), play music and play ABC games.  She especially loved sitting at the table using her laptop with the adults who were all using their laptops.  

Landon had no idea what was going on, but definitely enjoyed all the new things to play with!  His favorite gift was a basketball hoop - he and Grandpa played with that for a long time Christmas day!  He wasn't too into opening presents, but sister took care of that for him.

Brighton's second favorite gift would probably be these Princess dominoes that Grandma Susie got her.  She played dominoes with EVERYONE on Christmas - and even won a few times!

First Snowman!

We haven't really lived anywhere or been anywhere where there's been snow. This year, the week before Christmas it snowed at our house! So we quickly ran outside and built a snowman!  Brighton said he HAD to have a carrot for a nose, but since we didn't have any coal, he could have skittles for his eyes, mouth and buttons.

July Pictures of the kids

My amazingly talented friend, Mary Clark of DMC Studios, took some awesome pictures of my kids this summer while we were in Utah. Thanks, Mary!

It's Been Awhile...

To say the least. Tom was deployed all summer long to beautiful Afghanistan and I had my hands completely full with Brighton and Landon and life and so many wonderful things. Coming soon: pictures, stories and lots of adventures!
