Monday with Dad!

Today we went to the Ceretta Candy co. to take a tour and ended up getting there too late for the first tour and too early for the last one. We didn't want to wait around for an hour with the kids until the tour started, so we watched the video tour and bought candy instead! It was still fun to go and get out of the house and to finally get to spend some time with Landon! We have missed him!
Then for FHE we went to Cabela's to look at all the animals for our lesson on the creation. Carter loved it and Bri just slept through it.
Carter was trying so hard to see the animals from his stroller.

A fun Night at the Brown's!

Last night Carter and his friend Lauren were playing outside in the garden and came inside crying cuz they had dirt all in their eyes and hair!
So we put them in the tub to get cleaned off! But we still couldn't get all the dirt off so we had to spray them off in the shower!
Obviously, Carter thought it was really funny!
Then we ate Pizza! We had so much fun!

The New Things They Do!

No more binky for Carter! We went to the dentist on Monday to check his chipped tooth and the dentist said no more binky or bottle. His teeth are going to start moving if we don't stop now so i cut all the tops off his binkies and havn't had a good night sleep since sunday night. The bottle thing is a little harder and we are down to one bottle before bed. Atleast for a little while cuz i'm already not getting any sleep!

Bri finally says Momma now! So she says both Momma and Dadda nonstop! It's so sweet!
Carter's New favorite thing in the world to play with is his train and he always asks to watch Thomas the train in the morning when he wakes up. He says, "momma train! yeah!please!yeah!"
Carter and Bri love to be on the computer. Carter loves to play with the mouse while Bri plays with the keyboard. They both really think that they are doing something important and sometimes try to push eachother off the chair.
Carter loves to sing Natasha Bedingfield's pocket full of sunshine. it is sooo funny!. Every time that song comes on our blog i catch him singing and dancing to the chorus. His fav. part is take me away!!!!!! and he says," Awayyyyyy! and moves his arms around! He is such a goofball!

The World's Largest Free Pizza Buffet!

Today i went with my friends Emily, jody, her husband Corey and all our kids to the Cardinal's Stadium for free pizza and blow up carnival. It was an event held by CiCi's Pizza for their grand openings in AZ. This place was soooo crazy! It was from 11am-2pm and we got there at 12. When we got there the parking lot was newly paved or something cuz our flip flops were sticking to the road the whole way to the stadium and it was really hard to walk. Everyone, in the parking lot, was getting stuck and laughing at eachother as we all tried to hurry to get out of the heat.
We went inside and it was a mad house! there was over 10,000 people that had come by the time we left at 1pm and they ran out of pizza. They were trying to set the world record and they did with 300ft. of pizza served. We waited in line forever to get our pizza! There were three punk guys behind us that decided to cut in front of us and stand at the front of the line for 10 min. eating all the pizza and stuffing plates of pizza in their pockets and down their pants. I couldn't believe them! My friend Emily and i had the hardest time just getting our pizza with four kids and two double strollers. They were giving away free sodas but we were so worn out that we skipped that line and then we were going to go to the blow up bouncers and that line was even longer so we decided to take our kids home. Our poor kids didn't even get out of their stroller the whole time cuz we were scared they were going to get snatched. This was Breezy by the end!
Carter was sooooo Hot and thirsty i had to keep refilling his sippy cup.
Emily and I convinced our husbands to take a break from studying to go to CiCi's pizza for dinner and Carter was so excited to hang out with Sara. When we left, they held hands all the way to the car. They were so cute!

Our Trip to Yellowstone right before we moved to AZ

We went to see the geysers at old faithful.
look at those calves! He must get them from his dad!

Our little Bald Beauty!

Brielle is still bald but still so cute!
She is is over her scooting stage and is now full on crawling. Yeah!!!!!!!!
This makes life so much easier for mommy! she spitts up less on the carpet now that she doesn't scoot on her tummy. More fun and less Carpet Cleaner!!!!!!
She is such a happy baby now that she can crawl and pull herself up. She is so funny! She tries really hard to smile at the camera. Brielle is already almost as tall as carter and weighs 21 pounds. Carter weighs 30 pounds so they are 9 pounds apart. Oh and she wears a size five shoe already. Crazy huh? She's a rock!

A Great Example to Mommy!

For the past two weeks i have caught Carter taking my scriptures off the bookshelf in the hallway, when he thinks i'm not paying attention, and bringing them in his room. He then hides behind his table pretending to read the scriptures and singing as he turns the pages.
I finally got a picture of it before he caught me watching him. it is the cutest and sweetest thing to see him doing his personal scripture study everyday for the past few weeks. I hope this continues!
He also tries to be like his dad and gets landon's push up handle bars out and tries to do push ups everyday.
He really tries to go down all the way and grunts while doing it. It is sooo funny!
He is such a great example to me everyday and doesn't even know it. He reminds me that i need to prioritize the things i do everyday, and scripture study and exercise are things that should come first. He is a constant reminder that i not only need to teach him the right things to do but that i need to be showing him by example because he watches and copies everything.

Safari Mini Golf!

Swim Time!

Fun at the splash park!

Carter kept trying to step on the water shooting out of the ground.
He was running around so excited the whole time!
His favorite thing was sitting on the turtle.
