Fun with Family

Here are some pix of us havin some fun.  We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

First, we went to Grandma Cherie and Grandpa Dave's house for the super bowl.  Her squished his big body into a baby doll stroller to watch the big game.  I thought it might collapse at any moment! 

During the game, he got REALLY into the Jones sodas.

Brylee is growing up so fast!  She gave a talk in Primary and did such a great job!  When I asked her if she wanted to talk in Primary, she jumped up and down yelling "Yes! Yes! Hooray!"  I asked what she wanted to talk on and she said, "Jesus!  I love Jesus!"  So I got her a few pictures and told her some things she could say.  She added the first line all by herself!  So we got all ready on Sunday and went to Primary.  When they were reading the announcements they said "then Brylee Barrett with give a talk." and she jumped out of her chair and started yelling over and over, "They said my name!  They said my name!"  It was so funny.  So when it was her turn, she went right up and all by herself said the whole talk into the mic and held up the pictures and everything!  I didn't have to come up with her or tell her what to say or anything!  I was amazed and proud.  She is the cutest thing!  After Primary, we went to sacrament meeting - it was testimony meeting that day.  After each person sat down, she would say "It's my turn mommy!"  So I asked her if she really wanted to go up in front of all those people and talk in the big microphone and she assured me she did.  We started up to the pulpit and I asked if she wanted me to go first and she said "No mom.  I want to go first!"  Once we got up there, she leaned right over the mic and gave her whole talk again.  Word for word (without pictures this time).  Again, I didn't tell her anything.  She did it all herself.  It was so cute.  She is so brave.  Here is what she says in the video below: "Jesus loves me and I love Him.  I get praying time by him and I get sharing time.  And I get to listen to the prophet... and and I get to listen to Thomas Monson.  Jesus Christ.  Amen."

 Almost word for word what we practiced... just added her own little twist :)  Good enough for me!  Oh and yes, she picked out her own outfit.  She calls it her baby jaguar dress, baby jaguar jacket and baby jaguar boots.  How much leopard print can one person wear?!  Oh well.  She's adorable.

Cousins came and played at our house.  The best part was the super bubble bath!  Love you Steph, Kenni, Ryke, Ty, and Colie!

Then it was V-day.  We had a candlelight fondue dinner :)

This past weekend we rented a house up in Park City and went skiing at the Canyons!  Thanks Mom and Dad for the best Christmas present EVER!  Missed you Steve!

After our trip, we came home to this great big kids!  Buddy is almost walking and his 1st bday is in 3 days!  And Brylee just gets cuter everyday!
