Mom wasn't paying attention

So this was back before Christmas and just before Brigham was 6 months old. We got a few candy canes to put on our tree. Well Savannah had been playing with them for a day or two and hadn't gotten any of them open. So she gives one to her brother to play with. I figured if she didn't get it open he wouldn't either. The next thing I know is I'm looking at this cute face.

He's so proud of himself. The pure joy of a blue candy cane!

Savannah of course had to have her picture taken with a candy cane in her mouth too.

January Already!

I promise to have pictures posted soon. Hopefully tomorrow. An update in our world - we bought a van just before Thanksgiving, we love it. Brigham is in the 97th percentile for weight, 99th for head size and length, so he is a big kid to lug around. We had a wonderful Christmas with Kristie's family. Mitch barely made his connecting flight coming to South Dakota, and we all barely made our connecting flight back to Utah. Brigham can say 'mama' and has finally decided he can roll from back to front. Crawling here we come. That is us in a nutshell.

Adendum to September and October

My husband has found something new to keep himself busy for a little while. He went to enjoy some beautiful fall colors,

See some spectacular animals (aka a tiny moose, and heard a cougar),

and shot a big deer!

Savannah was very excited. She says when she gets older she is going to buy and gun and shoot herself a deer and hang it in grandma and grandpa's tree. Then she is going to skin it and put it in the oven and make steaks. You have to love little kids.

November, so far

I took some pictures of the kids in the leaves by our apartment. I think they are cute. Brigham is munching on the leaves.

Savannah is running back and forth to me and won't really hold still to take a picture.

I think this one of Brigham is so cute. It is like he posed perfectly.

One of the few actual pictures with both of them.

Brigham is getting really good at pulling his feet up and trying to put them in his mouth. Brigham was giving free lesson so daddy and Savannah thought they would try it out.

October

Here is Brigham eating his first food at 3 months old. He is now 5 months old and he eats a whole container of baby food in one sitting. I think it is safe to say he eats a lot:)

Savannah is eating a gigantic apple that my sister's friend gave us while she stayed here with us. It is a Washington Honeycrisp. Delicious!

Brigham is 4 months old here and very tired. Savannah demanded I take a picture of them.

This is my first try at fondant. This is one of the classes we did at Super Saturday. Isn't the cupcake cute:)

Christmas Trees were another super saturday craft. These were actually finished after super saturday because when you are in charge there isn't a lot of time to do your own crafts.

Here is Savannah and Clarissa. We are working on some of our super saturday stuff we didn't get done.

Mitch wanted to go camping so bad he and Savannah had a campout in the living room. It was a little cold at night for a 3 year old and a 4 month old.

Brigham the happy jumping 4 month old. He really fits the saying 'a bouncing baby boy'.

Brigham has learned to blow raspberries.

Savannah and Brigham modeling their Halloween outfits from Grandma Pat.

Random September Pictures

Here is our happy little boy back when he was 3 months old.

He does like his jumperoo.

Mitchell gets quite bored some days so I bought his some puzzles to keep him occupied.

As you can see these were done in a matter of a week or so. So it didn't keep him busy for long.

Here are our cute kids. Brigham is 3 months old and Savannah is 3 years old.

Here is Savannah and Liam having breakfast. They love having tables and chairs their size.

Aunt Wendy came for a visit this month too. Here are Savannah and Wendy making zucchini bread.

Savannah's Birthday - September

This is Savannah's first birthday cake for this year. She got to celebrate her birthday twice - once with Kristie's Parents and then again with Mitch's family.

Here is her second cake. Does it look familiar? Well she wanted an Ariel cake again and then a week or two before her birthday she decided she wanted Cinderella. Well there were no more cake pans at the stores nearby so I improvised.

Here she is blowing out her candles. Can I just tell you she loves birthdays. It doesn't matter if it is hers or not.

It was pretty warm on her birthday this year so as you can see I let her get out the pool one last time.

Savannah was really good at opening presents this year. She didn't try to play with each one as she opened them this time, she just ripped into each one and then she was off to the next one.
