Family Night Bowling

A family birthday party for Brady! This was our first time EVER bowling as a family; and one we won't forget.

Some of the highlights were:

1. Brett pushing his ball down the ball ramp, and as time went on he wanted to be a "big boy" and bowl like everyone else without the ramp. Making it a long night with his super slow moving ball.
2. Anamarie's constant victory dances and poses before, after and during every time she bowled.
3. Maddy's disappointment with her gutter balls, so we put the bumpers up for her :)
4. Taylor's awesome spares
5. Mom trash talking about taking first place.
6. Brady's crying about taking 2nd place.
7. Baby William just content in his car seat the entire time.
8. Taking 2 hours to bowl 1 game.

Final Scores were:

• 1st Place: Sarah 127
• 2nd Place: Brady 125
• 3rd Place: Anamarie 100
• 4th Place: Brett 98
• 5th Place: Maddy 95
• 6th Place: Taylor 94

 Notice that Brett & Anamarie beat Taylor & Madison :

It was a great family night!

William get's his first 2 teeth.

After days of constant crying and feeling uncomfortable, little William finally cut his first 2 teeth. The first one came through on the 14th of January and the second one the following day on his daddies birthday; the 15th.
Every single one of my children cut there first teeth @ 7 months old; very consistent.

A LAZY Sunday Afternoon.

This past Sunday we all headed up to Taylor's room to have a push-up competition, puzzles and games. I won the push-up competition...NOT. That trophy still goes to Brady, second was Madison, third, Taylor, and me; dead last! Brett also figured out how to take a band aid out of it's wrapper; it's a new technique :)

Family Photos

We had the opportunity to get some great family photos done with Emily Lesher Photographer. She is a neighbor of ours who is very artistic with her photography, so I thought I would give her a try, and I was totally impressed!! Everyone was happy and easy to photograph, except for our little grumpy clingon boy, Brett. He would not smile in any of the pictures. In fact, she couldn't even get an individual picture of him, he had to sit on his dad's shoulders while she took pix of him. She captured the most amazing photos of all the kids and some great ones of the entire family too.

Brady embarrasses Taylor & McKay :0

Brady has a bad habit of embarrasing Taylor & McKay as he takes them to school in the mornings. I feel so sorry for the many times he has harrassed them. Picture this...you're in 8th grade, your dad rolls down all the windows in the car and blast the book of mormon on the stereo, drops you off at the very front of the school, then get's out of the car chasing you to give him "kisses". Yeah, Brady is a DORK!!

Brett Turns 2!!

Brett had a happy 2nd Birthday party with lots of family. He loved the part of blowing out the candles before we sang to him. However, the second time around he was patient and waited until the song was over :) Maddy made a very delicious cake; German Chocolate with coconut pecan frosting. It was such a hit that the entire cake was devoured before the night was over. After cake and ice cream Brett opened presents. He didn't show a whole lot of excitement because his older sister was too busy cheering with every opening of a new present. He received a shirt & pants outfit from grandma Janise & grandpa Kim. Lots of great books from grandma Eldean & Grandpa Bob. From us he received: A Toy Story car race toy, big boy underwear, band aids, cookies, and a dump truck. His favorite present was the Toy Story car race. Brett and his cousin Briggs had a lot of fun "sharing" that toy until it was time to leave.
My little guy is growing up.
