Christmas a month late!

Here's a few pictures of Christmas.  I think I must have lost my camera on Christmas day and not found it until a week later because we have no pictures of the Black's while they were here!  Bummer!!

It was so fun to have them here in Utah...Brock and Porter had so much fun and were instant buds.  It was great to have my older sister around, I miss her so much!!  We had a great Christmas and a great week after with family and attending Grant's endowment.  So cool.  We love our families!!

 Jace, Izzy, Gabe, Brocko, Kinks in their matching Christmas jams :)

 I might have already posted this?  This is them in their matching Christmas church clothes on Sophie's blessing day!

 Brocko reading his new stories on Christmas morning.  He was so excited.

 Brock and Soph on Christmas morning.  I love that Brock couldn't even take his eyes off of his toys for two seconds to take a picture.  At least he's saying cheese though.

 Sweet Soph in her beauty jammies :)

This was the day after Christmas.  She is such a smiley girl it's so fun!

In case you forget...

here's a beautiful reminder

Happy New Year!!

Sophie Giggles

I will be posting pictures of Christmas shortly, but in the mean time, here is a little video of Sophie giggling.  I wish my voice wasn't so loud so you could hear her better but it's still cute.  Love this girl!

Such a Blessing

We blessed Sophie this past Sunday and it was such a neat day.  The blessing was very sweet, she had lots of supportive family, she looked darling and she was an angel all through Sacrement meeting.  Grandma Lisa bought her beautiful dress and Mimi made her adorable headband.  What a lucky girl to have such great grandmas!

After everyone left she got in her comfy cozy's and relaxed for a while with dad.  She would have put a bow in her hair had she known I was going to take a picture.  Sorry Soph. 
We love this sweetest girl ever!!

Choo Choo! Look who turned TWO!

We went up to "This is the Place" park and rode the train.  It was the middle of the day in the middle of the week so of course we were the only ones there.  Brock loved the train so much.  He cried when we left...for several minutes.

Look at that smile.  Pure bliss.





One of Grandma Lisa's famous creations.  She made a Thomas cake for Brock, he LOVED it.  We had a train party for him that night for all of our family it was a lot of fun!

Yes we got him a train.  From the moment he wakes up in the morning until he goes to bed at night- all he wants to do is play with his Thomas train, watch his Thomas dvds, read his Thomas stories, color in his Thomas coloring book, sing songs about Thomas or talk about Thomas.  The kid is obsessed.

 Brock had all of his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins there except for the Blacks who were only there in spirit. :)  Everyone spoiled him to death he seriously doesn't need anything for Christmas now.  It's just as well because now that he's two all he's getting is a lump of coal anyway.  JK we love this kid so much, he is the light of our lives.  He seriously makes our home such a happy place, I can't imagine life without him and wonder how boring it must of been before he came along.  He talks so well and says some pretty cute things, I'll just list a few:

• "Hi mommy, what are you doing up here?" (he just says that randomly)
• "Yeah, sure, ok, alriiiight!" (when asked if he wants something..or if he asks for something he'll answer for us)
• "Thank you mommy, you're welcome" (when he gets what he wants)
• "Where'd Sopie go?" (everytime I put her down for a nap)
• "Papa fix it train!!" ( he used to say this 50 times a day before we bought him his train because my parents have a train at their house that was broken and my dad fixed it...and apparantly that was the most amazing thing EVER)

He says a million other things in a day but those are the ones that he repeats the most.  I wish I had room and time to write every funny thing he says but I'll just share a recent one:
Yesterday we were all driving in the car and Luke and I were in the front seat talking when I hear Brock in the back seat do a dramatic smelling sniff and then in a sighing voice say "Strawberries".  Haha!!  At the end of Toy Story 3 the garbage man picks up a stuffed animal and does that.  So funny.  We love you crazo mano!!

Halloweeeen!

We loooove Halloween at our house!  This year Luke and I dressed up as Adam and Eve, with Brock and Sophie as our Lion and Lamb.  The day before Halloween we went trick or treating at Luke's work and his team loved the kids and wanted to hold them and get pictures with them.  It was so fun!  We didn't get to trick or treat around our neighborhood like we wanted because of the rain, but I was able to take the kids to the Trunk or Treat at Dicks market in the afternoon which was fun.  Can't wait til next year!

 I had to take a picture of Sophie in her cute halloween outfit from Grandma Great.  Isn't she just the sweetest?  We love our little Sopher. :)

 Brock saw me taking a picture of her and said "Brock hold it tiny baby Sopie?"  He is such a sweet big brother.  He is actually wearing his "coolest big brother" shirt from Grandma Lisa in this pic. :)

Thanks for reading!  Love you all!
