 Who wants a kiss?


 Dax has such a good grip. So we wanted to see if he would hold his hair brush ( tooth brush)


 HE DID!


 Love at home!



 I was telling the kids to smile and it took awhile but they finally did it...and they REALLY SMILED!

 Dax and Ryann are watching YoGabba Gabba! Start em young!


 The kids nicknamed Dax, Bugsy...if you have watched Bedtime Stories you'll understand. lol

Dylan,"Mom, you know how I am going to be a football player when I grow up, right?"
Mom," Yes."
Dylan,"Well, I am going to be a football player in the DAY and a ninja at Night. You get to wear all black and hide in the shadows. Its cool."

Ryann had been playing outside all day and was really dirty. So I told her that she needs to take a bath before she goes to bed. Normally she LOVES to take baths but she was So tired and grumpy that she was fighting me and didn't want to do it. FInally she gave in but on one condition..." Okay mom, but I want curlers in my hair!" Thats my girl!

Brooks is so good with Dax. He is the only one of the kids that can hold Dax for me when I need help and Dax doesn't cry. He is such a BIG help to me.

Dax has had  a hard time gaining weight for whatever reason. At his 2 week check up, he weighed 7.2 lbs. My doctor was concerned since at their 2 week check up he should be at least back to birth weight, 7.4 lbs. So they wanted us to bring him back in in a week. He should be gaining 1/2-1 ounce everyday. I brought him back in in a week and he had only gained 1 ounce. I was so upset and worried. This kid eats all of the time and never spit up. Where was it all going? After that, the pediatrician wanted me to nurse him AND supplement him with formula and see what happens. So after a week of that, we had a weight check and Dax was at 7.9 lbs . Next week, 8.1lbs and the week after that, 8.12 lbs. So for whatever reason, it just took him a little while to gain weight. So at 6 weeks Dax is 8.12 lbs.

Brooks turns 8!

 Morning of March 11, 2012
 Brooks cant fool anyone...he has been up for at least 2 hours just waiting for us to sing Happy Birthday to him.


 Dylan made a super cute card for him.
 Gotta have a singing card..its tradition!
 A Jimmer Kings jersey!

 Brooks got his own scriptures.

 Showing Uncle Jase his cool moves on his new scooter we gave him.
 Brooks first "battle wound" from his scooter.
 Who do you think won?

 GIFT TIME!
 Wow! Brooks turns eight and has already started growing facial hair! lol






 Dax even got in on the mustache action.
 We let Brooks invite 3 friends to go to Classic Fun Center.






 They had a lot of fun. Its funny how we have lived 2 seconds away from this place for 7 years and this is the first time we have been here.
 Me-ma Wright came a day before his birthday and gave him his special gift that she knew he couldn't wait for any longer...


 HIS KINDLE FIRE! Brooks loves to read and now he can read on his Kindle.
 Now that Brooks is eight, he is in Cub Scouts. And he had his Blue and Gold Banquet that we got to go to and get his BobCat that he earned.
 They scouts served their family soup.

 They did a cute skit.
 Brooks also got his face painted. When they announced that they were going to do something new with face painting, I was a little worried that it was going to involve Brooks painting MY face...luckily, it was HIS face.
 How cute is this kid?!?!
We are so proud of this BIG eight year old.
