Happy Birthday Brady!

We started the birthday celebration by surprising Brady at work. Stockton picked out the balloons and we hooked it to Brady's favorite candy, Reese's PB cups.


Later that night we went bowling with some family and friends. It was Stockton's first time bowling and he had a BLAST! Although he hated waiting for his turn, so Grandma took him to play in the arcade for a while.


Stockton loves Uncle J.


Stockton did pretty good. And he liked the "slide" for the ball.

Some cologne from Holly and Jace.

Later that week we had some family over for cake and ice cream.

Stockton helped put the candles on and helped blow them out, too.

And of course he volunteered to lick the frosting off the cake decorations! He was excited that he got to keep the tools off the cake.

Happy Birthday Brady! We love you!

Tangled Party

For Anellina's 3rd Birthday, she had a Tangled Party! They had all kinds of fun activities.

Coloring pictures from Tangled.


Stockton pointing out "Tangled."


Being a little rowdy.


Loving Poppa!


Opening presents.


Then RAPUNZEL CAME!!!! Aunt Holly and Jace dressed up like Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. The kids loved it!


She read the story of Rapunzel.

And played fun games with the kids.

So fun to have celebrities at the party!

Then we played "Pin the nose on Flynn." Stockton did pretty good!

And we enjoyed "Tangled" cake. It was such a fun party and the kids had a blast! Happy 3rd Birthday Anellina!

Happy 2nd Birthday Stockton!!!

I can't believe my little Stockton is 2 years old! He has been looking forward to this for along time. He has been talking about turning 2 for weeks! If you asked him how old he was going to be he would say, "TWO!!!" Then you ask him what kind of party he was going to have, he would say, "BIRTHDAY party!!!!..... Buzz & Woody!" Well, the Buzz & Woody party did not disappoint him! Tons of our family showed up and it was so great to have them there to celebrate!

Everywhere you turned you saw Buzz & Woody.

He had a lovely Toy Story cupcake display.

One of his favorite gifts was this Woody hat. He loved it and started putting it on everyone. (I got it at the dollar store! What a bargain!)

He got a "fwee slide!" (He can't just say "slide" he has to add "weeee" in front of it, but for some reason says "wee" with an f.)

The Haiders spoiled him with this "Hele-ca-ca" teeter totter. They know how obsessed he is with helicopters, so this was perfect! He LOVES it!

Blowing out the candle was hilarious! He couldn't quite get it, so mom had to help... just a bit.

He chose a cupcake with Rex on it.

The next morning he was loving playing with all his new toys. Then he asked to watch "Buzz & Woody." As he watched I set up all his presents to take a picture. He set Jessie and Woody up by the TV. The chair he is sitting on is also a Toy Story chair. And yes this is Toy Story 2 that he is watching, it just happens to be a random part with an American Flag in it. And this is the picture that turned out best!

Stockton we are so happy to have you in our family! You make us proud to be your parents. You are so much fun and you make everyone around you happy! We love you!

Just Goofin' Off

Here's several random photos explaining what we've been up to lately... it looks like we've just been goofin' off!


Found daddy's sun glasses!



What a stud!



CHEEEEESE!



Finger-lickin' good Valentine's cookies.

Beautiful PINK roses from Brady for Valentine's Day. It only took several very subtle reminders to remind Brady that pink roses are my favorites. He should know by now, don't you think?

Watching videos of Anellina, in heels of course.


Crashing while watching shows has become a regular occurrence.

Obsessed much with stickers? He did this to himself.

Then took them off his face and placed them on my pants.

He asked me to take one more pic of him. Oh, looks like one sticker is there to stay.

Crawling in the laundry basket is always fun.

Almost as cool as chilling in G-ma and G-pa Orgill's fridge!


Celebrating my b-day at the parents' house.


Stockton loved playing with his cousins and thought he was a big kid!

Happy Birthday Brady!

We celebrated Brady's B-day a couple of weeks ago. He got a new camera for his birthday. He took it out of the box and there were already pictures of Stockton holding a "Happy Birthday Daddy!" sign on the camera!

Unfortunately we all got a stomach bug , and we were all sick for his birthday. We had a fun night planned, but it didn't pan out.

So Brady took a day off once we were feeling better and went fishing with his dad. The fall colors were gorgeous and they had a great time.

Brady had a little bit of birthday luck as well. He caught the biggest rainbow trout he's ever caught! It was 25" long and it was some good eatin'!

We went out to dinner with Brady's family to his favorite place, SkyBox.

Stockton was so hyper, and everyone helped keep him entertained.

Happy Birthday Brady! We love you so much and appreciate all you do for us!
