Random videos

Here are some random videos and pictures I came across lately.  Enjoy!

Husband brag time.  Braden made the kids a SUPER cool bunk bed for their new room.

 

Complete with desk and old laptop.  Braden says he's going to teach Brylee to code and create apps!

I took Brylee to a track meet last week and she REALLY liked the high jump!  Glad she got at least one good thing from her parents!  Jumping genes!  Anyway, after the meet, we came home and set up her own little high jump pit and runway.  She did super good!  Brysen's form is not Quite as good.  :)

Here's a game of hide and seek that ended in a way I was NOT expecting!  If this is distasteful... sorry.  I thought it was funny!

One day, we set up a few mattresses on the stairs and used it as a slide.  Brylee got pretty brave and would jump at the start.  

Brysie liked it too.

Sometimes, hoewever, it didn't quite go as planned!

In January, Brylee lost her voice.  I think it's so cute!  

Brysen learned out to say his prayers all by himself.  I'll translate so you can get the full effect of the cuteness.  In case you don't know, Fuzzy is our guinea pig.  "Heavenly Father.  Thank you for mommy, and Brylee, and daddy, and FUZZYYYYY, and thank you for mommy and Fuzzy!  Name Jesus Christ Amen."

And finally, Brylee's favorite tv show is "Team Umizoomi."  She loves the opening song.  Here she is singing every word in time and on key.  What a talented little TV bum!  Haha.

Love my little family.  Excited for the new baby to come in August!

Christmas!

I just noticed that I haven't even posted Christmas pics! So here they are!  Brylee was SO happy to see Santa!

 Brysen... not so much!

 Here's Brylee with all her Christmas presents!  Including her new Guinea Pig: she named it Fuzzy.

 Brysie with all his presents - including his already eaten chocolate!

 All the Stoddard cousins together in their new Christmas Jammies in front of Grama's Christmas tree!  With Grama and Grampa Astle too!

 Brysie got a new 3 piece suit from G-ma Cherie and G-pa Dave that is SO cute!

 

Here's a better look at the outfit.  Not great lighting on his shiny face!

 And another cute outfit too!  Thanks Grama and Grampa!

 Brylee got a new out fit from them too...

 And a body double! :)  I love how similar, yet different they are.

 These twin cousins

 are SOOOO

 CUTE!

 

Went skiing.  Brylee is getting pretty good!  We are way excited to have a new ski hill only 5 minutes away next year!

And we went sledding!

Sorry Barretts but I forgot my camera at the Barrett party!  Will have to get pics from Sue!  I know you took some with your new camera!!! :)
 

St. George and Brysie B-day!

In February, I decided I was sick of winter, so we escaped to St. George for 2 weeks!  Here is a little report of our adventures!

It was so fun to stay with G-ma and G-pa!  They showed us lots of fun hot spots!  We started out going to this great park and enjoying the sunshine!  Love you 75 degrees in February!

Then we hiked up the hill behind our condo for a picnic.  So fun to have Dad home everyday for lunch!

 Here's the view from there.

Most nights, we played hide and seek.  Brysen got REALLY into it and LOVED to be it.  "FOUND YOU!" is the cutest thing ever.  (Try to look past the drool line that goes all the way to his belly!)

Then we packed up in the car and get excited to go hiking!

 We found a super cool but really hard hike.  The kids did so great!  Brylee even found a cave.

 Half way up... yes it was THAT steep!

 View from the top!  Awesome.

 The kids were a bit tired afterward... didn't even get out of the parking lot before they were asleep!

Then G-ma and G-pa told us about this little fishing pond they found.  It was SOOO fun!  We caught a fish about every other cast!  So fun.

 Brylee liked feeding the ducks.

 She wouldn't touch the fish even though she reeled it all the way in herself!

 

If you've never been to a Kids Museum, go!  It's SO FUN!  Everything is just miniature sized!

 Tiniest, cutest fireman ever!

 

 Brylee sang her little heart out on the big stage!  She knows every single word to Frozen's "Let it Go" and put on quite a show!

 

You can't hear her because of the game someone else is playing behind me, but it was super cute!

 First splash park day of the year!  Can't go to one of these in Logan for another 5 months!

  

It was such a great spring vacation!  Thanks Braden for getting permission to work remotely!  And Thanks g-ma and G-pa for letting us crash your party for days on end!  After we came home from St. George, Brysen managed to ride down our super steep driveway on his little tractor thing.  Look closely and you can see how beat up his little head is!  

 Later that same day, Brylee crashed her bike and got owies of her own (skinned knee not in picture but was a good one!)

Then it was little man's 2nd b-day!  Can't believe he's 2!  I love this little buddy! Here's before cake...

 And after!

 Cheese!  Someone's excited for presents!

His favorite toy was his Lightning Mcqueen car.  Don't worry, he also got a new helmet!

Last week, Steph and her kids came down and we had a great time playing.  They really wanted to "swim" in our big green tub... all of them! :)

So Far, 2014 has been great!  Looking forward to many more fun and exciting things!
