Freestone Park

It's hard to find free entertainment these days... but when the weather is as great as it has been lately, nothing beats a day at Freestone Park!

Brynlee finally got her first hair cut! We had to remove the mullet that was attached the back of her head. Yikes! Ellie was a big help, as always!

And my chunky baby is now 5 months old!

It seems like just a few weeks ago he was looking like this:

A little sleepy

This is what happens when your little one thinks it's "fun" to wake up at 4:30am.

(She got to watch Winnie the Pooh for 2 hours... by herself!).

By 8:30am, when the rest of us are just getting our day started, she's pooped!

I'm Recruiting!

Calling all swimmers, dancers, gymnasts, anyone... everyone.

Have you ever wanted to try Synchronized Swimming??

(You know you have)

Well, now's your chance!

The team I coach for has a "masters team" for those over age 20. We have girls from age 20 to 60 and all skill levels. We have tons of fun, but we need more swimmers!

It's $20 a month (cheaper than a gym membership!) for practice 2x a week at Brimhall Jr. High Pool. Let me know if you're interested! :)

I Just Can't Get Enough...

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was great to spend time with family and to see Brynlee's excitement as everyone watched her open gifts.

We spent Christmas Eve with my family.

Christmas morning.

Bryn was a little apprehensive about this shopping cart at first, but after a while she got the hang of it and filled it everyone's stocking stuffers.

The two sweetest gifts I could ever ask for.

MOM- this pic is for you!

Every year growing up my mom wouldn't let us go out to the Christmas tree until she did our hair (you know... the double stack bangs, etc) so that we looked "cute" for pictures. I couldn't bear to put my kids through such "torture." Therefore: BED HEAD!

Brynlee LOVES her new baby! She pats her back all the time and puts her in her shopping cart. We've got a little "mommy" on our hands.

After the excitement at our house, we headed over to Grandma & Papa McCormick's.

Bryn was so afraid of this tunnel... but we forced her through it. So mean, I know.

... And ended the night with fireworks.

We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the time we have to reflect on the birth of our Savior.

Merry Christmas!

Recently...

I just can't get enough of THESE TWO:

For Christmas, Riley got me a Flip videocamera (which I've already opened and used... we're horrible about keeping Christmas surprises). I've had so much fun capturing the funny and cute things Bryn & Brody do each day.

Please ignore my annoying "A GOOing"... and try to focus on the cute laughing baby.

Brynlee LOVES her fish. She won it at a family gift exchange on Thanksgiving. Every time she passes his tank, she says "hi Bob" or "bye Bob".

(Aunt Sarah & Uncle Jordan have a fish named BOB... so now EVERYTHING fish-related is "Bob.")

(She thinks the video camera is just a camera. That's why she's batting her eyelashes and saying "cheese")
