Oh How I LOVE this Little Guy!

Our lives have taken on a whole new meaning the past few months! He is into everything and we LOVE it!
This is his favorite place to be... if we let him! As soon as the fridge door opens he takes off as fast as his little legs will carry him and tries to get inside. Today he succeeded!


His first official haircut! He really did so good until the end... thanks Katie!

What a great drool action shot :) I love this little guy!
He had his first official haircut and did so good! I can't believe he is growing up so fast... makes me sad!
This is his way of transporting what he needs across the room! I absolutely love it when he does this... it is SO funny!
I love this face! He makes me so happy!


His first taste of chocolate... He LOVED it! He is just like his momma :)
This is another favorite place to hang out!
I love his cute baby fo-hawk

I can't believe it! My baby boy is turning one on Friday! I am so excited for this milestone, but also feel a little sad. He is growing up so fast right before our eyes! We thank our Heavenly Father each day that he has given us such a precious little soul to raise! He brings so much joy and happiness into our lives!

He has been very busy lately! He has been...

- crawling like a mad man
- laughing like crazy
- screaming lots (any advice on how to stop that?)
- pulling himself up on everything
- wanting to eat everything we eat
- interacting with kids, people at the grocery store, students in the hallway, etc.
- adored by all of my students
- getting into mischief
- crawling up the stairs and still learning how to go down them... he tried face first today and actually came out all right!
- got his first tooth last week
- ticklish all over
- loves being outside
- loves hanging out with mom and dad

I am loving every new stage he enters! I am so thankful to have such a happy, healthy, and sweet little boy! At times I wish I could freeze the moments and stay in them forever... We are having so much fun! I will post soon about the big birthday bash and other exciting events!

Week of L.O.V.E

YAY for Valentine's Day! I don't think you should HAVE to have a holiday to celebrate how much you love someone, but it sure makes for a fun time with lots of cute decorations and fun surprises! I decided to celebrate this week of L.O.V.E by doing something sweet for my sweetheart each day. Today it started with a Valentine dinner complete with fun V-day glasses, napkins, Mark's favorite dinner, and a pink raspberry julius for dessert! YUM! (only problem: I forgot to take pictures!)

On another note... I am the LUCKIEST! Mark surprised me last week with a dozen long stem red roses delivered to my classroom! I am so in love with that man! He treats me like a queen everyday and I am so grateful I get to be his best friend forever! LOVE you babe!

More fun to come :)

Happy 2010

Happy New Year! I am just a little behind on the blogging... but I had to post these pics! What better way to ring in the new year than with the U crew! We had such a great time chillin in Star Valley. We were able to sneak away and spend a few snowy days up in the cold north. We had so much fun spending time as a family and with our sweet friends. Thanks guys for a great vacation!

It's Been Way Too Long!

Chillin with his cute cousin Shiloh...
I really wanted to take a cute picture of him with his Santa hat on and this is as close as we got. He wanted no part in it, so I settle for this cute pose. What a little rascal and we LOVE him so much!

Hanging out with Grandpa and Jaycee... what an adorable picture!
Oh how I love this little rascal :)
He LOVES his farm set from Great Grandma Brown! We love her so much!

Rump - Dee - Dump... A Brown family tradition!

I am a slacker! I haven't blogged in SO LONG! We have been having so much fun with our sweet baby boy!

Our first Christmas with him was awesome! It was so sweet to watch him get excited about bows and wrapping paper (who cares about the toys, right?) He brings so much joy to our lives... it is amazing how time is zooming by us. I just want to cherish every moment we have together!

We loved spending so much time with our family and friends. What a wonderful time of year we have to reflect on our Savior's birth. We are so thankful for his life and for ALL we are blessed with.

I Did It!

My first official sewing project with my new sewing machine... Beckam's bib! I absolutely LOVE this website - Make It and Love It! This gal is my inspiration for everything crafty. She has the most amazing and fun ideas. I totally loved making this gift for Beckam's first Christmas... I honestly LOVE sewing! Can't wait to create more...

* I am trying to download a picture of what the back looks like... and the lighting isn't so good in these pics... OOPS!

Sweetest Moments

To My Sweet Baby Boy,

Right now I am listening to your Daddy sing you to sleep. He is singing "I Am a Child of God" and "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam." He loves you so much and is working so hard to provide for our family. We love singing you to sleep and watching you grow everyday. We want you to know that we love you more than words can say!

On February 26th you made us the happiest and proudest parents ever! Everyday you bring a smile to our faces. We love your cute dimples, your loud shouts of joy, the way you army crawl so quickly across the floor, when you blow raspberries, your beautiful eyes, your sweet giggle, and the way you make us laugh each day.

Right now you and Dad get lots of time together while I am at work, and you LOVE going on field trips with him. Some of your field trips have been to Home Depot to fix the cold draft in our door, shopping for groceries, bringing lunch to mom at school, and stopping by during the day so I can run out and say hi and give you lots of kisses.

We are so excited to spend this two week Christmas Break together as a family! We can't wait to share our first Christmas with you. Thank you for being the light of our lives and bringing us so much joy! We love you sweet boy...

Your Mom and Dad

So MUCH Holiday Fun!

I have so much darn fun with this cute man! Thanks babe for such a fun night and so many exciting new traditions to share with our cute little family! Our first attempt at a gingerbread house was a SUCCESS!

Happy Holidays!

Everyday is a party with these two in my life! I am so thankful that I have such an amazing husband and beautiful little boy. What a wonderful time of year it is to spend with family and friends. We are especially grateful to our cute friend Jaci for taking these family pics of us. She is truly an amazing photographer! Happy Holidays everyone! We are drinking lots of hot chocolate, playing games, enjoying our time together, loving our Christmas decor, and watching our little rascal learn how to army crawl, try lots of new finger foods, laugh lots, go on field trips with dad, learn how to log roll, blow raspberries, make us laugh a lot, and celebrate being nine months old! We love our baby Bubs!

Our Little Teddy Bear!

Holidays are so much more fun with this little guy! He was our sweet little teddy bear for Halloween and we had so much fun! Thanks to the U crew for a fun filled night of soup and bread bowls, lots of laughs, lesson on photo shop, and spending time with three of our very favorite people! We are so thankful for great friends and for such a wonderful little boy. What a great day :)
