Santa came to our house

Updates

Bryson and Chase had their physicals (3 year and 1 year) and here are the stats.

Bryson
Weight: 35.4 lbs (83%)
Height: 38.5 in (75%)

Chase
Weight: 21.15 lbs (20%)
Height: 32.25 (97%)
Head: 18 7/8 (85%)
Teeth: 12

Chase's weight really threw me for a loop. He's so skinny! I've been used to Bryson who was a chunk...always in the high percentiles. So funny how each kid is different.
I had their pictures done at Kiddie Kandids and they turned out great, as soon as I can get them scanned in I'll post them here. In the mean time, enjoy these!

Winchester Bay Oregon

Our trip to the Oregon Dunes was so much fun. Brett's family goes every year and since we missed last year (due to Chase being born the day they got back) we were very excited to make it this year. It was in the 50's and 60's the whole week, always a little foggy and it even rained a little. It was heaven.

Bryson all cuddled up.





Our rigs.











We celebrated the boys birthdays while we were out there. Bryson turned 3 on the 25th and Chase turned 1 on the 26th.

















The cousins enjoying Bryson's new "Cars" race track.




Chase practicing his walking. As of this post he is now officially walking on his own.







On his 3rd birthday Bryson rode his first quad. He is so cute in all his new gear. We are so proud.













Cousin Jayden riding his quad.



Cousin Troy, hanging out with Sunny.

Utah

We went to Utah and finally got to meet Jeremy and Julie's newest arrival...baby Logan



He was born in May and is just such a wonderful baby. His two sisters Lauren and Lacie are excited to have him in his family!



I think Lacie and Chase look alike...They both have grandma Patrice's brown eyes.



Playing in the helicopter.



Before we headed home we made a stop at the Salt Lake Temple so I could get a family picture. It's my favorite Temple.



So beautiful!



We also went to the Deseret Books new flagship store. Bryson wanted a picture with Joseph Smith.



Then we stopped at Hatch Family Chocolates. They have a show on TLC called "Little Chocolatiers"



Bryson took picture of the chocolates.






I couldn't leave without getting a picture with them. Here's Steve...Katie was a little too busy to stop for a pic. Notice the kids couldn't stop staring at him. Bryson later said, "he's a big boy, just like me."

Playdate

Amidst the chaos of remodeling our new house, I was able to see some good friends of mine. Maryann and Amy, I had so much fun yesterday. Bryson was grateful to have some friends to play with and I enjoyed watching all of our kids (8 in all) eat carrots our of the garden and have an apricot picnic out in your orchard. Let's do it again soon!
