Happy Birthday Brad!

Brad is now the BIG 30. I can't hardly believe it. This is actually good news for him, because he can now play in the 30 and older leagues. Brad is a great husband and father. Happy Birthday Babe! We love you!

More pictures and update

Yes, we are Jazz Fans! Our jerseys were one of our Christmas presents. We have taken Indie to two games. The game against Indiana Pacers, we got to sit the last half of the game on row 10 lower bowl (thanks to Denver's car being stolen) and Indie made it on the bigtron twice! I swear she's the cutest jazz fan.
Brad gets his own 30th birthday blog. Tomorrow on his birthday. Isn't he a great dad. Indie is a daddy's girl!
I am working at the U still and doing work from home. However, I think my average hours of work per week is maybe 5. Yes, I have a way cool boss who let's me work as many or as few hours as I want. These pictures were taken at Zion. We went hiking, while I was down there for work. Don't you just love it when your work pays for you to vacation. Thanks to grandma Indie for being a trooper. She went to St. George with me and watched my girls. Brad was on his own business trip. Indianna. What can I say about the little spitfire. Besides being a daddy's girl. She is talking very well now. She actually attempts to try any word you ask. Before she could say any word, she called Maylin "Me Me" and Brooklyn "Boo" and Denver "D". She uses them so often, that they have stuck with us all. So, you may here me say "Me Me" for my dear little sweet Maylin. Indie can now say both of their names fairly well. Indianna is all girl! She loves "baying kitchen" and taking care of her babies. She tells me "bye bye mommy. Me watch Me Me." She's a handful with her dramatic crying tantrums, but so sweet at the same time. We just have to make sure she gets her "beauty sleep." Which she isn't fond of. She has a mind of her own. I've been trying "reverse psychology" and it worked for a while, but now she is starting to catch on. Smart girl! Oh the baby she is kissing is her cousin Daxton. She loves babies and kids.AND last but not least. My dear sweet Maylin. She is growing so fast. She is sitting up, rolling over, and says "ma ma". I love that she says that and not "da da". Indie didn't say "ma ma" until she was at least 12 months. Her 6 month appointment, she was in the 90th percentile for her heigth and 20 percentile for her weight. Tall and Skinny. She is a total mama's girl. Which is nice, but not so nice at night. She is still waking up in the night to eat. (Probably because she is so skinny) Other than waking up at night...she is the "BEST" baby ever. She is so sweet and happy. She's my little angel. She can make any one's day with those big "sparkly" eyes and smile. I just don't have a picture of it that does it justice. That'll have to be my next post. (maybe in another 6 months ;) You never know.)

And that's our quick update.

UPDATE! UPDATE! WARNING LOTS TO UPDATE!

Ok. I realize I haven't blogged for a long time. Thanks to all of you that have reminded me. In honor of Brad's 30th birthday, I thought what kind of wife would I be, if I didn't blog about that. So, I am going give a quick update with LOTS of pictures and then blog about my "wonderful terrific Husband."

The most recent pictures would be of our trip to Florida. We went to Florida with my entire family (except "Boo" Brooklyn, McKenzie's baby). My parents paid for everyone's flight except Indie's. We paid for hers. They also paid for the sweet house that we stayed in for a week. It came equipped with it's very own swimming pool and hot tub and enough bedrooms for everyone. We had so much fun and are so thankful to my parents for the generous trip. It was a lot of work with 2 little ones, but was well worth it. I think the pictures say it all.
Indianna and dad on one of her favorite rides. I like the look on her face. It says, "grab a bag and watch out." No, she didn't on any of the rides, but we had our fair share of "grab a bag!" (That's my polite way of saying she gets motion sick and she was SICK!
What's Disney without meeting the princesses. This was probably Indie's favorite part of Disney World. Although hesitant at first, she really started to like meeting the characters. The picture after Cinderella, is her yelling "DUCK!" for Donald Duck to come back. She started yelling "Mouse" when we were waiting in line to meet Mickey and Minnie.
Maylin's favorite character. Pooh and Eeyore. She loved their soft fur. Indie's favorite character...would be either Mickey or Cinderella or Snow White. (The good mommy) That's a story for another blog.
Indie's other favorite ride. She got her very own driver's license. She's a horrible driver. She would hit the middle thing and we would whip lash back to the other side and then back to the other side. She thought it was SO funny. I had to hold her from falling out. The seat belt didn't do any good.
What "Me Me" thought of the trip. For those of you who know Jayben Whitesides...what do you think? Could they be related?
Beach Babes! We only made it to the beach once and it was extremely windy. Indie loved playing the sand and Maylin loved spending time with Grandpa.
On the airplane, I think this was about 5 minutes before our first "grab a bag" incident.
Almost forgot this one!
