Spring is in the air!

Brigg has mastered walking. He is just so proud of himself which he should be. It seems pretty tricky to be little and walk around with a huge basketball. He's officially a walker! We were loving the weather this April day outside in our backyard. One of the not so many nice days in the spring. We had a pretty freezing spring this year! So we enjoyed it while we could. Charly was out building something beautiful in the sandbox, Wesley was freshening his basketball skills, and Drake was tackling his Dad getting ready to play some football! And Brigg just keeps getting cuter and cuter! He kept walking around with his tongue hangin out which is I guess what I did all the time when I was a baby. Can't wait for summer to be outside all the time! We LOVE CO nights, they are just about perfect!!

Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique--CO style!

Thanks to our good friends, The Gentry's, we were able to recreate the unforgettable experience of the Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique! Susan went all out. Charly and Elizabeth were in Heaven all over again! They both went on a little date with their parents to Disney Princess on Ice, and just to get ready for the big night, they were pampered like princesses! Susan fixed their hair just like they did in Cinderella's castle, did their make-up even with pixy dust, and wore their new Ariel dresses! And to top it all off Todd(Elizabeth's Dad) gave them each 1 rose for the special date!

This little sign was posted on her bedroom door to welcome the girls!

Susan spoiled them so much, she even had some juice and cookies

while they were getting all dolled up! So cute!

Busted!

It's been a while since we've had a toddler around our house, so our child locks don't really exist--yet. Hopefully soon we can get these things back on to prevent this.... from happening often. If it's not oatmeal, its potatoes or cheerios. This kid is always in to something, such a busy boy! But I just love this kid even if he drives me crazy!

how can you get mad at that face?!

Brigg's first steps

Brigg took his first steps about a month after he turned one. It didn't take him long to take off, once he figured it out it was all over, just like my life is right now--over--haha. Welcome to the "chasing stage!" Besides the fact that he is busier than ever now, I love this stage and seeing his face light up of excitement that he just did it even if his arms are helping him balance as he wobbles from place to place. So exciting!

So proud!

Brigg's 1st Haircut-1 year old!

AFTER

Another one bites the dust!

My little baby turned 1!!! I can't believe it, I guess that's what happens when he's number 4. What a great year we've had spending it with our little Brigg! What an Angel he is! I've never had a happier baby and I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for him! He brings a smile to my face every time I think of him! He melts my heart! I love you Brigg!!

Some of his accomplishments at 1:

Words: dada, mama,Jesus(seriously--he really does! he points to all the pictures at the church and says it very clear), uh-oh, shoes, ball(obsessed!!!), eegghh--oh wait--that's not a word but I hear it way too often!!

Sounds: woof woof, oo-oo/aahh aahh(monkey), snorts like a pig, roars like lions, dinosaurs, tigers and bears--really loud!

Actions: waves bye-bye, blows kisses, shoots a b-ball, dribbles a soccer ball, claps, bobs his head when he dances, tries to run, throws a ball.

And now he finally decided to drink milk. He would not have anything to do with it since I stopped nursing in January. His favorite food would have to be fruit snacks--hands down!

Happy Birthday Brigham!

Birthday breakfast time

I know what you are thinking--this boy needs a haircut--

don't worry, next post---1st haircut!!

The 1st cake tradition....

this is just about exciting as it gets. He is following in the footsteps of his older brother Wesley. They both didn't really want anything to do with their cake--so funny and so not like Drake and Charly were!

Drake was dying the whole time watching Brigg try to eat his cake. I could just tell he wanted to help him out so bad. So finally since it was getting very anti climatic with Brigg bringing absolutely no excitement, leave it up to uncle Garrett to say--"hey Drake, do want to try Brigg's cake--go ahead you can have a little bit, Brigg's not going to eat it" Well of course Drake got right on that and got down really close to the cake to take a big bite out of it and next thing you know, Mike shoves Drake's face right into the cake--of course totally planned out by his favorite uncle G. Everybody was dying after that-- I have to say though, that Drake was an awfully good sport about it. I can't say I would be laughing after that much cake all over my face! I think he got a few licks out of it all!

Our very own photographer--Charly got a hold of the camera.

Just a few of her specialties.

Brigg was a little under the weather, but still managed to find his contagious smile!
