How It All Started

This is a picture of my parents on their baptism day. My mom is holding me and my dad is holding my brother Karson. It was May 1978 at Mormon Center. I was 7 months old.

This and That

How do we keep ourselves busy??
We do a little of this,



A little of that,



A lot of this,



and some of that.

Goal Reached!

I hit a goal last week. I have dropped 10 pounds since January. Brett and I have been doing very well on our New Year's resolution to eat better, and work out more. Brett's almost lost 30 pounds!

What a good number to see (and feel!)



I got my "Wii Fit Age" down from 42 to 22. That's awesome!



It takes a lot of hard work. This was on a bad running day. I was feeling sluggish. But I was proud of working out for the whole hour. You burn so many more calories running.

Valentines Day

We've been trying to get over some colds, so Valentines Day was very low key for us. We had heart shaped pancakes and strawberry milk for breakfast, I made pink cupcakes and chocolate dipped strawberries, and for lunch we ordered in Fats (my favorite Chinese restaurant). What a nice relaxing day! Thanks for all the gifts grandma's, it was like Christmas for Bryson.

Just Another Week In Pictures

We got to visit with my grandma Eloise, who just turned 95 on January 11th. Happy Birthday grandma!




Bryson finds joy, solace, and some "me" time in a box.



Bryson wants to share his joy and solace in a box with his brother.



Chase tries on Daddy's helmet to see if he's big enough to ride yet.

Chase Is 6 Months Old Today

Yes...it's already been half a year. It's amazing how much he's grown. He started crawling 2 days ago. He's loving trying out new foods. He likes the vegetables more than the fruits. I think his favorite so far are the sweet potatoes mixed with the wheat rice cereal. He gets a bottle or two of pear juice every day and he really looks forward to that ( it keeps him regular). He plays so cute with his big brother and I can tell they're going to spend many hours playing together. We love looking at his brown eyes (a rarity in our family), and making him giggle. We love our little boys!

This Week In Pictures
