School

Brian has headed off to Ohio for his Tech School for the Air National Guard. He is training for Bio Environmental Engineering(yeah don't ask what it is because I don't really know:)). His schools doesn't start until the 22nd but he had to leave a week early to get all his in processing done before school starts.His school is scheduled to go until May 26th but we keep hoping with Memorial Weekend that the instructors wont want to keep them that weekend:). Reagan and I decided to make a count down so maybe Reagan would understand the fact that he's gone for awhile. It's a lot of paper to cut but Reagan was so excited to rip her piece off this morning. Were down to 98 days:)

Just couldn't leave out this cute picture! Bryson LOVES to wear Brian's hat!

THE BIG 3-0

Brian has hit the big 30! He claims that he now feels older and tries to use it as an excuse for getting out of things!:) We were able to celebrate his birthday after he got home from work and went to eat at Red Robin with my mom and sister. After Red Robin we headed back to our house for some cupcakes and ice cream. Brian had a request for Cherry Chip cupcakes. Makes him feel like a little kid again:)

JUST SOMETHING FUN I FOUND ON PINTEREST:)

HE WAS READY TO DIVE IN!

MAKE A WISH

So for Brian's gift this year for his birthday, he got 2 tickets to watch the Phoenix Suns play the Dallas Mavericks. Brian and I went last night(30th) and left the kids at my moms house for the night. It was awesome to watch the game in person even though Steve Nash and Jason Kidd were both injured!

parked right in front so we didn't have to walk too far in the cold;)

we had some sweet seats!

oh you know just Channing Frye(pretty sure thats who it was:)) making some free throws:)

We went to play at the park and of course he finds the only mud puddle to play in!

Bryson and Noah enjoyed the puddle while Reagan looked on thinking they were crazy(all girl!)

always wants on the chairs on Mommy finally let him so he was in heaven!

oh man does he LOVE ladders! this time we let him climb while we were around and he loved every minute!

Zoo Lights

Reagan and Bryson LOVE Christmas Lights so we thought we would take them to see all the lights at the Phoenix Zoo. Papa Lars, Grandma Jo, GG and Aunt Katie joined us for the evening. They are some pretty darn cool creatures made from lights.

Christmas Happenings

Brian, Kaitlyn, Mom, Grandma, Aunt Kim and I started out our Christmas Festivities Wednesday Night by attending The Forgotten Carols by Michael McLean. I always love this play and it really gets the true meaning of Christmas rolling through your head. And it's amazing the Spirit you get to feel. If you ever have the chance to go, GO!!! You will not regret it!

John aka Michael McLean

Every time we drive by Target, Reagan always asks if she can go see the big Ornaments that they have placed randomly about the grounds so we finally said ok and her and Bryson loved every. single. one!

"it's too bright mom!!"

Daddy had to join in on the fun:)

he loved to hit them!

Reagan didn't like him up there by himself so she had to have her hand on him.

then she had to sit on it too!

On Christmas Eve, we still had some shopping to do so Brian headed out in the morning and then I went shopping with my mom once Brian was back home. I think this was the 1st time I went Christmas shopping without the kids!:) For our Christmas Eve Dinner/Lunch we all decided that we should go to Olive Garden and then have pies afterwards at GG's house. As always, Olive Garden was amazing! Actually, as we were all heading back home, we realized that we left all our food boxes on the table along with the breadsticks!:( We were all pretty devastated! Brian, Reagan, Bryson and I ran over to Target after dinner for a few things for Christmas Dinner and then decided to ride by the Loop of Lights. It's amazing all the lights you drive by! After the lights we headed over to GG's for some pie, decorating cookies and a little Christmas movie. It always great having Christmas roll around because you get to spend so much time with family! And I must say, I've never seen Reagan SO excited to go to bed before! She even claims to have seen Santa's sleigh in the sky when we got home:)

her Christmas Eve outfit. what a cutie!!

Bryson would not stand still!

loved the Fireplace on the house!

now this is the main house for the Loop of Lights! It's Amazing!

you can see that ball from pretty far away once it gets dark!

Reagan and Bryson both LOVE Christmas lights!

Christmas PJs

CHRISTMAS DAY.

Santa came to our house! Bryson woke up about 8 and was super excited when he saw everything so Bryson and I went to wake up Reagan so she would enjoy the gifts too! Once Reagan saw the gifts, she decided she needed to wake up daddy so we could see what everything was! We opened a few gifts at home and then head to Grandma & Grandpa's house for some Monkey Bread and the kids even got to open a present. We headed back home to shower and get ready for church and the kids finished opening all their gifts. Thanks to those who sent gifts! The kids loved everything! We had Chruch at 12, sacrament meeting only, and then headed back over to moms to finish up presents and have some yummy dinner!
