We got this balloon for brig on valentines day. He wasn't sure of it at all until seth got home and showed him what big balloons are really good for.. then it was a whole different story. he basically wanted to do nothing but this for hours!

brig loved this big bag so seth stuck him in it.. he didn't think it was oh so great after that.

Family fun

My family came out for Briggys first birthday. it was so fun to have them here to help make his day more special.. and it was! he loved every minute of it, getting happy birthday sung to him, getting new toys and books, eating cupcakes, and best of all having someone other than mommy to play with! he absolutely ate up having his cousin flynn( 2 mo.younger) here to make trouble with, they were so funny to watch. all in all it was a great day and an even better week. we loved having them here.
Brigham and Flynn playing with the cars grandpa picked out for them. these were the "hot item" as far as toys go for the week!
Flynn not sure about his cupcake at first but that didn't last long he dug right into it and was completely covered in icing:)
Brig however was the complete opposite he very carefully picked out all the icing before taking his first bite

The boys playing with papa caught!! they were always trying to sneak off into the other room to mess with the stereo
wrestling match between briggy and Flynners
apparently brig thought he won?

Brig after eating his first powdered donut. really he only had one bite but i have never seen him get so excited over a treat before! he was dancing, and jiggin all over the place.

Brig and Daddy playing out side..
he was loving the warm weather and.. yes, running down the hill

our little bundle of joy and TROUBLE!
We have had a oddly busy month with family visiting, brig being sick(forever) and the usual school life so i thought i would post a few of our
lastest that included brig finally smiling again!!:)

Happiest boy in the world after a well needed nap

Brighams First Christmas

Our little bugs made Christmas especially fun this year. We had such a great time introducing him to all the holidays had to offer. He seeemed to enjoy most of it too but his favorite part was all the pretty ornaments. He was such a good boy through all the shopping days, all the traveling, and he didn't even tear into any presents early! Seth and I had so much fun picturing how much fun it will be once he actually understands what all the fuss is about!
Our little family was definitly blessed this year. we are so fortunite to have wonderful families and great friends that love us and support us.
