Cold Snow, Baby Food, and Birthday Visit!!!

A few days ago Corban wanted to go outside and make a snowman! So we went out with him but the snow wasn't good enough! It wouldn't stay packed, it was just icy and Not fun! haha So he played on the playground instead!

Then Clifford made a little sledding hill for him to go down! It wasn't the biggest hill but Corban thought it was the coolest and funnest ever!  

He would slide all the way down to the road! The sidewalk and road are pure ice! 

We don't have snow clothes for Brighton yet so we just have to bundle her tight! I'm not gonna spend money on expensive snow clothes to have her fit in them for a month! She looks cute in her little eskimo jacket my mom made her! Thanks Mom! 

I started her on rice cereal and baby food a couple weeks ago! She loves it! She doesn't look like she likes it in this pic though only cuz she is super super tired! She woke up early from her nap! Little stinker! haha

Last Saturday my Mom and Dad came up for my Uncle's funeral in Utah! The funeral wasn't until Tuesday so they decided they would come up to Rexburg on Sunday and have dinner! It was my Mom's birthday on the 29th so I made her a Layered Birthday Cookie! Let me tell you...this was AMAZING! It's 2 big chocolate cookies on top of each other with a frosting made out of cocoa, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and some other minor ingredients, with mini m&m's and chocolate chips on top! It is super rich but to die for! It was my first time making it and it turned out just like the picture! haha Here's the finished product! If anyone wants the recipe let me know!  

Here we are singing to my mom! Happy Birthday Mom! 

I do have to mention that I have been going to the cycling classes up on campus on Tues and Fri mornings at 6:30 in the morning! I wanted more of a variety other than just running 5 days a week so it's been fun! It's hard to wake up but it's so nice to have my work out over with that early in the morning!  Anyway on Tuesday when I went to leave I looked on the thermometer in the car and it was a whoppin  negative 20 degrees outside! I thought I was gonna die I was so cold! 

Catching Up!!!

I am just doing some catching up on some things that I haven't blogged yet that needed to be done! So On December 1st 08 one of my best friend's Julia (Ju) Hunter got married to Jeff Larish! Their wedding was awesome and she was gorgeous! Here are me and Ju at her bachelorette party! 

Here she is the Beautiful Bride! Her dress is the prettiest dress I have ever seen! It was amazing! She was the most beautiful bride and she looks so happy! 

Here are the 3 of us! Ju, Berkie, and Me! Best Friends Forever!

Breakin it Down

On New Years Eve we finally got to get together with Amy n Kort and Brenna n Cody! I'm so glad we got to meet up! We were in town for a month and only saw them once! What the! 

Then after that we went to the Webster's House and Partied for the New Year! We played games and ate and I got paid 26 bucks to jump in the pool with my clothes on! It was worth it! Thanks Jeremy and David for the $! haha Here are the MP girls! Heidi, Stef, Taush, Christina, Jodster, and I! 

Here are Corban and Brighton with Santa! Brighton's first time meeting him! They both got spoiled for Christmas! 

Brighton got to swing for her first time at the park! She loved it! 

Corban having fun at the park in the perfect weather! 

And finally...Brighton turned 5 months old on Friday the 8th! I can't believe how fast time has flown! She went to the doctor that day for her 4 month shots! We are a month behind since we were gone for the whole month of December! Here are her stats:

weight: 16 lbs  76%

height: 27 in 98%

head circ: 17 in 86%

She is super tall already! I think all of my kids are gonna be taller than me by the time they are in 1st grade! haha At least she's doing good for her weight! She is such a good baby! She sleeps from 8pm till about 6 am! She laughs alot now and is very alert! She makes us happy! Here she is on Friday! She is in a summer outfit but I have to make her wear it since it's 3-6 months and won't fit in it much longer! haha
