BUSY BUSY!

We have been super busy the last 5 months.  It seems crazy that we are in 2013 and spring is around the corner!! 

Trevor finished up his last semester and graduated in December. YAY!! Its been SO nice actually having him home when hes home and not doing homework.  I know its short lived but I am really grateful for the extra help!! He got offered a job in Spanish Fork, although not in his field, we are grateful for a job and income!  

I turned 27 and thats great news because for the whole last year I thought I was 27.  So I get to be 27 for 2 years! haha.

We had an exciting holiday season and spent lots of time with family.  I am glad we were so close to family for so long.  It is nice to have grandparents eager to babysit!! I miss that a lot!!!!!

Trevor has applied for grad schools in San Diego, Dallas and Logan.  I'd really like to go somewhere warm!! I trust that wherever we are supposed to be we will be there.  Speaking of, we really felt prompted to be here in Utah...although it was absolutely our last choice.  Sometimes I just have to accept that the Lord has plans for us and we just need to be ok with that.  And honestly, now being here, I understand why.  A big BIG added bonus is that I live 20 minutes away from the bestie.  Its been 9 years since we have actually just got to "Hang Out" and I love it!!

I LOVE not having to work.  Granted I was grateful I had a super easy, stay at home job before...but it makes my day so much better not having to worry about strangers walking into my house.  Funny story, since I have been a SAHM fully, I have more sweatpants and jammies in the laundry than ever before!! I hardly ever see my jeans.  Its been great! I actually want to invest in some more, but Trevor wouldn't like that so much. haha.  

Ryker and Brinly are getting too grown up! Ryker is in that really funny stage where he copies everything we say and do.  He says some of the funniest things!  He is obsessed with trains and monster trucks (still) and will watch documentaries over and over about them. He is also dancing even more than ever and sings a lot! I love hearing him sing.  I would really like to find a group that sings and dances as I think he'd enjoy it.

Brinly is...Brinly.  She is quite a turkey and has started her tantrums early.  I thought having a girl would be easier!  I thought she'd be walking by now, because I guess I just assumed girls matured a lot faster than boys.  But she is pretty in sync with Ryker's milestones when he was her age.  She just barely got her first tooth ON her 9 month mark (which is attributing a lot to her tantrums).      
She loves snuggling with papa! 
Loves these cuties!

I had to put this sequence of pictures in because it is just so funny! This is how they are all day.  They do get along most of the time, but we have our sibling fights often.  Usually because Ryker takes Brinly's toys and hides them.
My cute kids...


Brinly sees Ryker has a box....

Ryker does not want to share..



Brinly reaches
  
She wants it really REALLY bad...and is obviously mad at Ryker for not sharing.

Ryker leaves and we get her 9 month pic.

 Ryker has also been into biting lately...sometimes to be mean, and sometimes just when he gets really excited playing he just sinks his teeth in.  This time, he was playing with Brinly and just sunk his teeth into her tiny tummy.  She was not happy about that at all! Poor girl!


I just love this pic. These 3 boys love each other, and well Ryker is the tag a long cause he's still 2 years younger than them, but he loves being around them!

And I had to add this picture because this
was when Ryker was 9 months...
and I just think him and Brin
 look SO much a like! Haha...its so hard to
 believe he was ever a baby!
Brinly loves playing with Ryker's toys...
especially anything she can put in and take out.
Dump trucks are perfect!






















Well January is almost over.  I am looking forward to February because we have a lot going on!! Hopefully I can be better about updating!

Your kids are soooo stinkin cute!!! That makes me laugh that you thought you were 27 for a year before your birthday because that totally happens to me. I think I am the same age as Dan all the time! Why would we do that to ourselves??
