Can you find my cute family?


Brett brought back "make up" from the combat casualty care course in San Antonio. At first they were a little apprehensive, but then they loved it. I think they all looked pretty camouflaged, except for Brayden's cute tummy.




Brett decided to bring out the old jumper. Brayden LOVED it.



We went to Seaport Village for the day and into the night. This is a fun place down by the harbor. It has fun shops and cute cobblestone roads. This is a picture of us having fish and chips at Anthony's on the harbor.

This was so hilarious. We paid this "statue" to dance for the girls and it freaked Aubrey out.



Here are the girls making a wish in the wishing well.


This is Brayden's first merry go round ride on a historic wooden hand carved carousel. Everyone loved it.


We had a great Valentines day. Brett had most of the day off. Our only "date" if you call it that was we went to a spin class together, which to us was great. We then had a fun family dinner and "movie night" as the girls call it. They were excited that "Mr. Valentine" found them in California. The next day Brynn had a fun Valentine's party and Aubrey got to go to it. Brynn's favorite teacher, Ms Joslyn, who is just a volunteer has a special connection with Brynn. She brought her a cute stuff animal that Brynn now sleeps with. Both kids had fun and they loved the dancing at the end. The video is of the doing the "limbo" (check out Brynn's form and Aubrey headband issues).


Brayden got a fun ball tent from my mom for his birthday. It is a cute tent full of lots of colored balls. Brayden was laughing so hard. He loves it, but so do Brynn and Aubrey (poor Brayden).



The weather has been so beautiful here lately, and Brett is home alot because he has an awesome rotation (Radiholiday). Anyways, these pictures are funny. After you see the kids in the top photo and fear for Braydens safety; look at the second I'll assure you that Brayden was safe. The last picture was so funny because Brett really scared Aubrey (Boo).

This is one of the reasons we love living here!











Brett got home yesterday, and so today we went to have a picnic at the beach to celebrate him being home. We also went because it was the most beautiful day I think I have seen here. It was 71 degree. It was so nice and relaxing there. (I think alot of things seem more relaxing when Brett is around). After we went to ice cream. It felt like a summer day. This is one of the reason I think we could live here forever!
























































































We went to our ward family Valentine dance tonight. It was so fun, and it was fun to see everyone dancing together. I never knew a family dance could actually get my cute husband to dance:)







































Brayden turned one on Tuesday. It is so hard to believe he has been my little boy for so long. He is such an angel. A lot of times he is the only boy I get a hug from:) He still love to cuddle up to me. I hope he never grows out of that. We had a fun small Car party for him. We went over to my friend Audra and decorated cupcakes and made little pizza. The kids had a blast, and I think Brayden enjoyed it as well.



























































Last Sunday before church the girls wanted to have a tea party, so they invited all their animals. They had a good time. Then later after church they dressed up as something. They really do like to play together, and I am quite impressed with what they come up with.

















Before Brett left for Texas for a 9 day training, he had a few days off. We got to do some fun things like movie night, trips to the park, and the beach. It was so nice having him around:)
