Bounce House

Brody used to be terrified of the bounce house. If it was on, he was only content being held. It was too loud and too big for his liking. Just today, he turned over a new leaf! He is in love with the bounce house and is always jumping up and down, which is his sign language for "bounce house". He now can't get enough!Look out below! WEEEEE!I love how these two can play and enjoy each other's company.CRASH!

Family Fun

Getting together is always enjoyable. Rylee was our camera girl and Brody was just hamming it up as usual. Here are his bat wings.Jessica made Brody his "blankie". He and Rylee love these things and have practically schreaded them. Jessica, at least you know they love them!Baby Max really thinks he can walk. He just lets go. He doesn't care if anyone is there to catch him or not. He wants to walk so bad that he would rather kill himself in the process than stand still. Silly to watch and it sure keeps Jessica on her toes.I have been wondering if it's every girls favorite outfit? The minute we walk in the house Rylee strips down to her underwear. I guess her clothes are too restrictive? I just love the fact that she plays dressup!Truely our little angel.

Safety First?

Rylee loves riding on Jon's skateboard. Someday she will be as good as him because of all the coaching Jon provides. As you all know, Jon's a fireman, he's always talking about "safety first" with Rylee and Brody.I think this picture says it all. For me to remember, I have all three of them on the skateboard riding down the street.

Snow from Utah

Grandpa Little stopped by on his way home from Utah and had brought a lot of snow with him in the bed of his truck. Amazing it made it that far.Rylee loved the "Utah Snowman" they made.

TIME OUT!

I gave Rylee a "time out" for something, I can't even remember. Keep in mind that she only has a time out for 3 minutes. Within about 1 minute of the time out...she was out. Here she is asleep during her time out. Jon and I got a great kick out of this one. Ya think she's tired?

Happy Valentine's Day

It's time to remember 10 reasons WHY I chose Jon:


1. Dan Skubal put your hand on my rear when we were slow dancing sophmore year of high school at the "Hello Dance". Thanks for the..."hello".

2. "four zero" - loved the outfit

3. You liked me despite our major difference.

4. You asked me to marry you where we had our first kiss at Tak Stadium...after putting me through a greweling workout. I wouldn't have it any other way.

5. You always wanted me to be the best I could be and encouraged me not to be like everyone else, though I may have wanted to at the time.

6. You came to all my gymnastics meets Jr. and Sr. year of high school and always made a trip out to BYU once a year to see a meet.

7. You had GREAT potential that you are now living up to.

8. You loved your family, so I knew you'd love ours.

9. You loved me...and you still do after all we've been through.

10. Last, but certainly not least - who could resist your smokin' hot body!!!

* The list would have been longer, but the blog would crash and I want you to see this because:

I LOVE YOU!

Thank you for all we have been through because it makes us appreciate each other more today. I look forward to the many more Valentine's Days to come.

P.S. Remember the first Valentine's together. I decorated your room. It was like Valentine's vomit, and you loved it.

Princess Party #2

This time Rylee wanted to be...... that's right! Snow White. Thanks Grandma Kathy for Disney Princess #2 dress up. She wasn't complete without the purse, which HAD to go with her to the party. They decorated princess wands, played "Pin the castle on the picture", went on a treasure hunt, and had pizza and cupcakes!She had such a great time! Happy Birthday Hannah! Thanks for the invite!

Family Day!

If you have never been to Sky High Sports then you are missing out! We love this place.It's one of those places that you get a work out in and you don't even realize it because you are having way too much fun.(Jon is probably the only one who stops to take their pulse while having fun, to see if it is a workout...but good thing he did or we wouldn't have any pictures to show for it) Brody mainly ran on the trampolines, which is the funniest thing to watch. He also did a few front flips with me holding him. Rylee did awesome! Good seat drops! Great control!Happy to be here."Shining happy people on...trampolines..."We asked Rylee to stop and take a picture. She automatically struck a pose.We look forward to their pit being built! Double fronts/backs here we come!!! The "Sky" is the limit!

Happy Birthday Brody

Well, Happy Birthday Big Baby!!! You are #1 this year and we are so proud of the strides you have made.

You:
- walk really fast
- say "Ahhhhh-Ti"
- have wrestle fights with your blankie and Rylee
- smile all the time
- hug all the time
- are afraid of the bounce house (but we're working on it)
- march in place really fast when you get excited
- look so silly when you fake cry
- give the cutest open mouth kisses
We celebrated your birthday a day early on Sunday because Jon had to work on your actual birthday. Rylee and Jon made chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting, while I prepared for a talk in church. Not bad Jon and Rylee. YUM! YUM! We sang "Happy Birthday" to you so loud and off key but you loved it. We love you very very very very much. There's not enough space on this blog for all the "very's" that would define our love for you! Keep growing!
