Brighton's Blessing!!!

Last Saturday December 6th we did Brighton's blessing! She is now 4 months old! I can't believe it! She's getting so big! We wanted to wait and do her blessing while we were here so all of our family could be there so it worked out perfect! My nephew Anthony was baptized on the same day so we did the blessing first then the baptism! It was a very special day! The blessing was really neat and she did so well during it! She is such a good baby! She smiles a ton and loves her big brother! She is very easy going and I couldn't ask for a better baby! We love her so much! Here she is on her special day!Here is one of our typical family pictures! haha

Finally!!!

Corban has begun to get the hang of potty training! We made him a potty chart and told him if he filled it all up with stickers then he could get the hulk toy! He got it today!  For about a week I had to literally follow his every footstep around the house to make sure he wouldn't go potty in his pants! When he was in diapers he would hide every time he pooped so I had to catch him and put him on the potty because he wouldn't tell us when he had to go!  I clean the house every Monday and I couldn't even clean this last Monday because of this! haha It's been a very frustrating and stressful couple of weeks but very rewarding! He's not fully potty trained yet but at least he is to the point now where he will tell us when he needs to go! Now he needs to work on holding it and telling other people he needs to go like at church in nursery or at school! I can't blame him for not being able to hold it though since his mom has the same problem sometimes! haha I'm sure those of you with kids can relate! Maybe! haha At least now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Here is a picture of his potty chart! 

Here he is putting the last sticker on it! 

He's wants the dang toy opened already! 

Corban loving his sister this morning before church! 

Just a pic after church to show how big she's getting! 

We are coming to AZ this Friday! I am so excited! Wish me luck flying by myself with both the kids and no stroller carrying Brighton with my purse, diaper bag, and carry on bags trying to make sure Corban doesn't run off! Man I can't wait! 

Corban Loves School!!

Corban is now going to the preschool up on the BYU I campus! He just started going there 3 weeks ago! It's fun for him because he gets to go to Daddy's school! I am so proud of how good he is doing! We can really tell a big difference in his speech already! He has also been going to a private speech therapist for about 3 months now and between that and preschool he has already progressed alot! We are so proud of him! Here he is so excited to show me his name tag! His glasses broke so that's why he doesn't have glasses on...and we're waiting for the new ones to come! 

Here he is this morning waiting for the bus! It comes at 8 o'clock which means I have to get my butt up out of bed earlier than usual to get him ready! It's fun though!  

Here's the bus! He's on and ready to go! It's pretty cool they have carseats on it and bus assistants to help the kids! When I picked him up after the first day of riding the bus he saw me waiting at school and looked at me and said "no mommy, ride the bus" haha! It was hilarious! I told him "you only ride the bus to school and I pick you up"! At least he likes riding the bus! 
Here is a picture he painted at school! When he brought it home we asked him what it was and he said "Hulk and Iron Man" haha So cute! We love you Corban and are so proud of you! 

Happy Hallow-Weeny!!

Earlier this week we carved the pumpkin! We went to the grocery store and all they had were huge pumpkins and I wanted to get a big one and small one for Corban and Brighton but we just decided to get one! So Clifford started drawing on it before he gutted it then realized he needed to gut it first! Corban was not a fan of the guts! haha We couldn't get him to touch them at all! Here they are before gutting it!  

Here's Corban and the guts! 

Corban is helping Clifford carve! It's a little scary with a knife in Corban's hand! haha

The finished product! Clifford refused to do anything hard this year since last year's Spongebob pumpkin took forever! It's ok! I don't blame him! 

Yesterday we had our ward Halloween Trunk or Treat! This was the first trunk or treat we've been too! It was quite fun! Corban had fun going around to all the cars! This year was really fun for us because Corban actually understood more what to do! Here is a picture of The Hulk and Brighton before the trunk or treat! 

Brighton with her cute owl beenie from Aunt Heather! Thanks Heather! 

Her cute pumpkin headband and smile! 

Daddy and the kids! 

Mommy and the kids! I know we are lame for not dressing up! I didn't want to spend money on costumes we would wear once! haha Maybe next year! 

I didn't get any pics at the trunk or treat but then after we took Corban down our street to trick or treat! Here he is showing off his pumpkin full of candy! 

He had so much fun! 

After trick or treating  Clifford has some friends at work that invited us to their Halloween party! They had lots of yummy food! They did so good decorating! We ate and played some games and hung out and talked! 

We had so much fun! 

Corban was in heaven with all of the yummy treats they had to eat! haha We didn't get home until 11pm! I felt bad for Corban and Brighton! They were both awake the whole time! Brighton was spoiled by all the girls there holding her! Hopefully I can get her back on schedule after last night! Here is The Hulk just chillin on the Love Sac eating a cupdake after a super long day! The kids were troopers! I hope you all had a fun Halloween! 

African Safari!!!

Clifford and I had the chance to go to Africa....So of course we had to go on an African Safari since it has been my lifelong dream...and this Tiger was the first of many animals we saw!!!! It was AWESOME!!!!

JUST KIDDING! I wish I could go to Africa! Instead Clifford's Dad, 2 of his sisters Heather and Shelby and Heather's boyfriend Devin came up to visit us this last weekend!  So the first place we took them to eat was Big Juds! The best burgers ever! Of course I did make them pumpkin pancakes for breakfast!  Here is Heather, Dev, and Shelby! 

Grandpa and his grandkids! This was their first time meeting Brighton! 

Aunt Heather and Brighton!!

Then we took the kids to the zoo one day! Here is Corban and Brighton ready for the zoo!

Once again our awesome family picture! Corban loves family pics! I really might have to blow this one up and frame it!  At least I'm not pregnant in this one! haha

Heather and Corban being chickens! 

Grandpa and Brighton looking at the monkeys! They were funny! 

Saturday night we took them to go see the sand dunes in St Anthony and on the way we stopped at this park! It was pretty cool! I haven't been on a teeter totter since I was a kid! I forgot how fun they are! 

Corban and Daddy on the teeter totter! 

Corban loved this merry go round thing! 

Shelby, Heather, and Me! Look how much shorter I am! haha 

Me and Shelby in front of the Snake River! So pretty! 

Then on Sunday we drove up to Jackson Hole, Wyoming! This was the only picture I got that day! Me and Corbs on our way! Then they had to leave Monday morning! We had so much fun this weekend! Thanks to the Mills for coming all the way here! We love you guys! 

Photo Shoot!!!

Since we don't know any photographers here I just decided to have Clifford take the kids pics! Luckily yesterday it was a beautiful day so it was nice to be outside! There were alot of cute ones so here are just a few of them! I think they turned out great! 

If you look closely you can see a ladybug on her headband by the flower! haha
