I haven't been able to take many pictures of Brodes lately because my camera is broken :(
I took these with Britt's camera the other day and thought I would share.
Brody is settling right in at Auntie B and Uncle Cory's house.
He wakes up asking for "baby" and "aunt b"
and loves to have Uncle Cory take him out back to play with the doggies.
I am truly blessed to have my sis and brother-in-law open their home to us and help us to feel so welcome.

Brody at his FINEST!!!!


Broders LOVES shoes....
He came out of Auntie B's bedroom wearing these shoes
and we couldn't resist capturing this image. (while we were laughing in hysterics)
He is holding up pictures of Mater and lightening Mcqueen
that Auntie had torn out of some "car" wrapping paper for Brody.
He is quite the little man. :)

I remember the dances in 5th grade and how much guts you had to come ask me to dance back when the room was divided with the boys on one side and the girls on the other :)
I think I was like three inches taller than you too. :)
I remember late night phone calls (which really weren't so late considering we were in 5th grade), playing hide and go seek, and the many swimming adventures at your house which left your pool full of hairspray!
I remember moving on to Jr. High and how our paths split a little but you were always such a special guy!
Playing games on New Years Eve one year and begging our parents to let you and Justin stay the night with us girls (never happened)
I remember traveling to Telluride together... you, me, Britt and Mom Sherry. I was reminded at what a cheater you are when playing cards or any game for that matter!!!!!!
Jess and I visited you at your apartment on base here in AZ
floating down the salt river in our tubes
going to see men in black II as a fam (yes that included you ;)
Chats and emails here and there as you went through your vigorous programs in different states and we all got married
you were always such a strong individual.
One to always put your heart and soul into everything you did.
A genuine and kind spirit
You are truly missed!

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together"....
-Marilyn Monroe
This quote has weighed on my heart since I read it this morning so I thought what better way to re-enter into blogosphere with a heart felt quote ;)
It feels good to be back....
Hopefully I will be able to keep it up now that I will be moving in with my o-so-sweet sis!!!

THANKFUL THURSDAY




Need I really say ANYTHING more???????
Our little Brody is becoming quite the big boy!!! Already seventeen months old and time is NOT slowing down. He truly is the joy of my world and my love for him just continues to grow. It's actually quite scary!!!!!
This little boy is talking soooo much. Some of his newest words are....
cow, bee, candy (not sure who taught him this one :), dice (for out"side"), eggies, pancakes, bath, rocks, water, Asher, stairs, booger, fishy, shark, push, brrrr, choo choo, chair, bus, kitty, and most recently... "breakfast bar" (nonnie taught him that one)!
He wakes up every morning asking for his true love... Jush (juice). Usually after a little while he will take me to the fridge (which he can open on his own) and ask for his second love... "cheese!" Quite the breakfast huh.
Then, it is usually a decision between watching "cars" or "mow" (mickey mouse). Lately mickey mouse has been winning which is actually a nice change. For someone who doesn't like to watch movie's more than once, I think I can quote the entire Cars movie :)
Some of his other loves....
toy cars, necklaces (or anything he can put around his neck for that matter), shoes, headbands, balls, choo choos, climbing on things, rice, his doggie and kitty cats, bus's (especially when we are driving), oh, and he now has some kind of infatuation with "poo poo." He really likes to help mommy with the pooper scooper and will point all the "poo poo" out to me. Unfortunately he will sometimes bring it to my attention by actually bringing it to me! :(
He definitely has a mind of his own these days and I am extremely grateful for all that he brings to my life.
I love you little broders, brody bear, brody buckets, brodikens, bonzi, etc

A Trip Down Memory Lane...

While Britt and I were at Mom's today, Mom was adamant about getting rid of ALL of the old prom dresses! Soooo we decided we would take a trip down memory lane and try a few on (especially the goofy ones...sorry Jamie :) )
any of these look familiar sisters???
Can you guess the year that these fabulous gowns were in style?
"material girl"Michael Jackson is missing his leggings! Sixteen Candles and...
teen witch called she wants her prom dress back (top that!)
I'm too sexy for my shoulder pads
Anyone for football????? "Ohhhh sexy girlfriend" Watch out ladies
in a few short years these will all be back in style!

How Times Have Changed...

10 years ago you we would have been roaming Gilbert in Ang's jeep or throwing a party at Mandy's house :)
Not these days....
Ang was in town from Colorado so all the girls got together to visit. It seemed chasing kids around, changing diapers, and cleaning up messes took first priority BUT it was good for the soul!!!

"the boy's playing ball" the innocent ones
two little monkeys jumping on the bed
Although she probably didn't notice her this time around, little Claire will be so thankful for miss Presley as she is outnumbered by all the"boys."
Thanks for the pics ween. It was sooooo good to see everyone!
