Happy 3rd Birthday Chancho!!

I can't believe little Bradley (aka Chancho) is already 3 years old! He's such a sweet boy who has the best manners and always says please and thank you. He loves to play games and always makes sure that everyone plays and no one is left out. He's totally a boy because he loves to play guns (with the Nerf darts, Wii and play bball with Chris. He loves to snuggle and will go to pretty much anyone for comfort. We love him and enjoy his visits when he comes to play. Happy Birthday!!

Happy 30th Birthday Brad!

Sunday was Brad's big 30 birthday. We had a "Thomas the Tank Engine" themed party complete with games, a train cake and train hats. We all had a great time. (To bad Brad was sick.) Brad also got a really fun game for the Xbox called Scene It and we played that for a few hours.

I stole these pictures from Maggie's site....thanks Maggs!

Samuel's Blessing

Brad got to bless Sam on Sunday. Maggie spent a lot of time making his blessing outfit and it turned out really cute! Bradley thinks Sam looks really cute in his new dress Mommy made. The blessing was really nice and pretty much the whole family (minus Lizzy and Chis) were there. Afterward, we all gathered at Brad and Maggie's house and had brunch. Maggie, her mom and aunt cooked up some very delicious food!! We had a great time and I'm so proud of my family that lives righteously and are able to bless their families and their children.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Wow, I can't believe it's already 2009! So much time has gone by since I posted last. I'll try to be brief and not put to many pictures, but I apologize if this one is long.

Highlights of December: Decorating for Christmas, both inside and out, colder weather, the brief amount of snow, cooking and decorating cookies and candy, spending time with family, playing games, Lizzy coming home for Christmas, meeting Lizzy's boyfriend Brandon, Trail of lights, lots and lots of great food from my Mom, time off from work, Christmas parties, Nerf wars with Mom and Lizzy, family progressive dinner, enjoying the spirit of Christmas and all the joy that brings.

Happy New Year and may everyone with blessed with a safe, healthy, happy and prosperous 2009.
