Visiting the lights

We love Layton City's lights. Where else do you get dragons, flamingos, and lots of other fun creatures lit up for the holidays.

We also love going to see the lights at Temple Square. We were glad that dad was able to make this trip with us.

 After seeing the lights we dropped dad off at the airport and headed home for some popcorn and hot chocolate. Lil' B skipped out on the hot chocolate and opted for pulling kitchen appliances out of the cupboards. A favorite past time of this boy.

 We are going to miss visiting the lights at Temple Square. I am told there are lights at the LA Temple, but they are not as spectacular. Oh well it will be a whole lot warmer checking the LA Temple lights so I will take it.

More birthday celebrations

This time we included our dad!

 Hey little buddy you aren't suppose to eat the plate.

 Ah, that is more like it!

When dad came into town last week we celebrated both his and lil' B's birthday.

Coachism's

Coachism #1
The other day Coach was wearing sports underpants and he thought it was pretty cool that they had a pocket up front. I told Coach that it wasn't a pocket, it is where you put your cup. Coach then darts out of the room and returns to me with his drinking cup still full of water sticking out of his underpants. Lol! I love how kids are so literal!

Coachism #2
Coach: blah, blah, blah, blah mom
Me: what you think I am boring?
Coach: no mom blah blah blah means I don't care.
Lol! My Coach is a real turkey, but that is why I love home so.

Good times! Let the birthday celebrations continue! We are just waiting for you dad. We couldn't imagine celebrating without you.

Happy birthday lil' brother

A year has came and went and in that time you have grown so much. Your favorite food is banana's, you love to wrestle and play with your big brothers, you are into everything you can reach. By far you are the messy little man I know, but maybe that is because I am trying to keep a perfect house. You are very curious and love being part of our family. Most importantly we love having you in our family. Happy birthday Lil' B!
