Willard Bay Lights

Tonight we went to see the lights at Willard Bay. 

Brooklyn loves to drive around our neighborhood and look at all the Christmas lights, especially the house that plays Christmas music while the lights twinkle, 

This is a picture on one of our drives through the neighborhood

 so we thought it would be fun to take her to see the lights on a wagon pulled by the horses and see Santa.

As I expected she wasn't too excited to sit on Santa's lap...until he bribed her with a candy cane. This is the best picture we could get of her, she still wasn't too sure even with the candy cane :) She wouldn't answer any of his questions, but she did give him a high five before we left.
She of course loved the horses and the lights and the music!

Chase & Taylor's Wedding

On Saturday December 15th my brother Chase married a beautiful girl named Taylor, who he met only 8 1/2 months prior. Chase has always been super picky about the girls he dates, but with Taylor it was love at  first site and he has never had any complaints about her so I knew there must be something special about this girl.
It doesn't always work our for some newlywed couples, but for these two the weather turned out perfect! Taylor wanted there to be snow on the ground on her wedding day and it just so happened that the night before the big day it snowed then stopped in the morning then started snowing again that night...amaizing!

We met family & friends at the temple at 10:30am, went to the sealing then took pictures until around 12:15pm after which we met Brett's dad at Sherwood Hills so that he could take Brooklyn to his house so she could take a nap before the reception. Then we went to the luncheon at Elements Restaurant and had a yummy lunch and listened to family and friends tell fun memories and give advice to Chase and Taylor. We were going to go home between the luncheon and the reception but decided to get some Christmas shopping done instead, which worked out really nice, because we about finishished our shopping and we ended up having to take more pictures before the reception. Luckily Brooklyn had woken up and Mark and Jeanie were on their way up with her so she made it for the pictures too. They had a really nice reception and we had a lot of fun sending them on there way.

My mom and dad had to take them to the airport so that they could fly to New Orleans for their cruise and we hadn't had dinner yet so we all met at Pizza Hut in Brigham.








 It was such a fun day and we are so happy for the both of them and happy to have Taylor in our family!

Hot Tub Buddy

One of the things that Brett and I enjoy doing together is getting in our hot tub after Brooklyn goes to bed. This is usually where we have our fun talks or just enjoy each other's company while gazing at the beautiful star filled sky.
Well...since I have been pregnant I haven't been able to have this time with him, for obvious reasons, but he hasn't had to hot tub by his lonesome because for now he has a new cute little hot tub buddy!!



Yes, she hot tubs as she calls it naked snaked

Brooklyn's Adventures


Adventure #1: Swimming at Surf N' Swim
Some funny facts about this trip: I had Brooklyn standing on the bench in the changing room while I was getting dressed, she went down to reach for something and fell off the bench and I cought her by her coat right before she hit the floor...whew! Then, when I took her out to Brett she was so excited to get in the water. When he put her in she was kicking and splashing then BAM...she face planted it (that happened a couple of times). She loved standing under the warm shower in the locker room after swimming in the chilly water.
