Valentines Party!

Bryson frosting his cookie!

Bryson and his buddy Luke! Interesting side note is that we gave instructions for the kids to not lick their knives and all four kiddos in this picture listen very well!

I think I was more excited for Bryson's Valentines party than he was. It has been way too long that I have bought valentines and candy to hand out. When I would ask how many girlfriends Bryson had he'd answer with "two", I have yet to figure out who they are. He was such a handsome Valentine!

Out of the snow at last!

What could be better than hanging out with friends?! Oh yes good weather, shopping, golfing and great food! There was no better time to head for Arizona! There were three other couples that came along, Darrin & Shanna, Matt & Kristen, and Jen & Brandon. We rented a beautiful home that made us all not want to go back home. The trip felt like a girls getaway and a couple's retreat all in one. The guys woke up every morning to go golfing while the girls went shopping, shopping and more shopping! The guys met up with us in the afternoons for some great dinners and whatever else we decided to do. It was an awesome trip and although I am back in the cold snow, I keep remembering having the front door open and listening to the water from the water fountain in the front yard! I can't wait to go back! Thanks Kristen for the pictures!

At the airport we met Matt Hughes, he is a 9-time UFC Welterweight Champion. I would have had no idea who he was if it wasn't for Brady, but he was such a nice guy!

Sledding!

We went sledding with our good friends the Crosbie's. It was Bryson's first time playing in the snow this year and the smile he had shows how much he liked it. I was off limits for the sledding but it did give me some time to test out the new camera.

It's a girl!

Pink in my house?! I was shocked to see that we were having a little girl! It wasn't until after we left the ultrasound room that I remembered of a dream Brady had previously had. A month or two before we had gotten pregnant Brady had mentioned that he dreamt of holding a little girl and saying that she looked just like Bryson. It is very rare of Brady to have dreams and remember them at that, but the second we left the ultrasound room I remembered the dream. I guess some dreams do come true!!
