Haircuts

Brigham and I both got haircuts within the last couple weeks. Brigham was looking more and more like a girl/orphan, so we decided to kind of buzz it.

This is my new haircut, I cut off a ton of hair! But I was ready for the change, I only have a picture of the back and it was way messy! Thanks to the wonderful Prescott Valley constant wind! Don't know why I even do my hair anymore!

Back of Brigham's hair, he also likes to carry my purse around :) Should I be worrried?

Front

Here he is saying "cheese" with food in his mouth :) He looks so much older with his short hair, but I absolutely love it!!

Pictures of the last few months

Ok so I figured I should probably get all the pictures off my camera, since I hadn't taken them off since who knows when...so there are just some random pics in here...

This is my view from my hotel room when I went to Lincoln City Oregon...it was awesome!!

His new favorite restaurant (and mine) is Garcias, he HAS to dip his chips in the bean dip and of course he is sooooo clean with it :)

I think I gave him a TEENY piece of my candybar and this is what it turned into

Lucy is sooo cute!! She has doubled in weight since we got her, she loves to be outside and rolls in the weeds! She also loves to bark at the big dogs our neighbors have, until they start barking back, then she runs as fast as she can to the door! HAHA!

Brigham also loves it outside, he loves to throw rocks, and sometimes eat them! silly kid!

This is the best picture I could get of our grass last night, it's going to be so awesome when it's all grown in!! I can't wait!

I know this is out of order but oh well...this was one place I stopped to eat my lunch, it was FREEZING!!

I took this last night, we got him some "big boy" sunglasses and he loves them! He wants to be just like daddy, he copies everything he does.

This was taken a long time ago, every time we throw the clothes on the floor to fold he has to jump in them, he loves it!

Loves his daddy

This was his first ride in his toy car a long time ago, I love those teeth!

Again his car

I LOVE THIS PIC!!!! He was saying peek-a-boo when I took this!

Just a couple of videos, one is of his horrible temper! He wanted to grab the camera and I wouldn't let him so this is what he thought was the best thing to do. Yes, he does that every time he doesn't get his way! Kill me now!! And the other video is showing how clumbsy he is!! He got that from me! :) He also got the temper from me...oops!

Also, I got braces on Monday! YAY!! No self photos yet, Mikey says I look like a nerdy high school student, so until I don't look nerdy, no pics!! :)

He got Mikey's moves!

Brigham has loved to dance his whole life it seems. I have tried and tried to get it on video, but every time I do he sees the camera and tries to grab it!! Made me so mad! I finally got one the other day, and it is the BEST VIDEO EVER!! At least I think so!Now those of you who have had the privilege of seeing Mikey dance :) know that he definitely got his moves from daddy.

Here's an update on what we have been up to. We sold out Tahoe and bought a Lexus RX 2 weeks ago, we absolutely love it and got it for a great deal! Mikey got called to be the ward clerk last week and is a little stressed. I got to go on a little getaway to Oregon/Washington last week and it was fantastic! Relaxed at the beach, went shopping, got dental work done, and helped out with Lisa's show. It was an awesome week but nice to finally be home. I missed my boys very much!! I had 2 crowns put on, gum reconstruction (he cut away my gums) and a filling. My mouth hurts soooo bad!! It's not going to stop any time soon cuz in about 2 weeks I get my braces!! YAY!!!

About a month and a half ago I asked our Primary President if we could take Brigham into nursery and she said yes, he was 3 months early but he is doing great! It's a huge help to me and Mikey too. He is growing up so fast and getting the cutest little personality. His new favorite show is Barney!! I used to watch it when I was little so it's kind of fun to sing the songs again. He dances, and laughs, and just enjoys watching it over and over. He has recently discovered that he loves cars. He has a few toy cars and plays with them constantly! Here are some of the words/phrases he can say: more please, it's Lucy/daddy/barney/mama, love you, Lucy out, outside, car, ball, mama, daddy, bye bye, hi, hair, eyes, ears, belly, button, uh-oh, dunk, football, baby, ducky, wuack, doggy ruff ruff, meow, kitty, tweet, bear, roar, monkey, anyways those are then ones I can think of off the top of my head. He is a smart, funny kid. He loves to throw things away in the garbage and pull out all the tupperware from my kitchen drawers :)

Lucy has started puppy training! YAY!! She has learned how to sit and stay. It's amazing to me how smart she is, now I just wish she would stop teething! She chews on everything, even got Brigham's cheek today. I was not very happy with that!

We are finally starting to get grass in our backyard!! I can't wait til we can actually walk on it, Lucy and Brigham are going to love it!!

Do you think he's a BYU fan?

Steve gave us this BYU football that played the Cougar fight song when you threw it. Ever since Brigham was little he HATED it! It scared him half to death, until a few weeks ago. Now he loves it and Lucy HATES it! I got this video of him dancing, its not his best dancing or the best quality since its from my phone, but its so cute!!

He is watching us

I'm going to make a confession...we aren't the best at saying prayers as a family, we usually say dinner prayers and pray before Mikey leaves on a trip. Little did we know that Brigham really is paying attention. About 2 weeks ago Brigham and I sat down for lunch, before I could get any food in his mouth he folded his arms and started jabbering!! Ever since then he does it all the time!! We went to Ihop the other day and he was doing it there :) It was just a little reminder that even though he is only 14 months old he is watching, and noticing what we are doing. He is a special little boy and teaches me new things every day.

Here are a couple videos I caught him praying in...

Update in Lucy...she is doing fantastic!! It took a couple days but she is back to her normal self! YAY!!

I'm a horrible person!!

So today I went to lunch with a friend. I put Lucy in our laundry room and left. 2 hours later returned and Lucy was stuck in a cord behind the dryer, it was wrapped around her belly pretty darn tight! She had pooped all over herself and was bleeding. I freaked out!! I didnt know what to do, finally I calmed down enough to grab her neck and start twisting her to get her untangled. I knew something was wrong, she wasn't walking at all. I got Brigham in the car again and sped towards the vet's office. What is normally a 20 minute drive I turned it into a 5 minute drive! They took her back and the dr. said she had feeling in her legs and that her back wasnt broken, they needed to keep her there for a few hours to massage her legs and make sure she starts walking again.

All I could think about (and still think about) is how long she was there, and if I wouldnt have chatted for so long with my friend would it have been better? I feel so bad, she looked at me and was so scared and in so much pain, I felt soooo bad!

The dr called and gave me good news, she was walking on her own, but had a little bit of bloody discharge. They gave her a few medications and sent her home. She definitely isn't her normal self. Hopefully she gets back to normal, and starts driving me nuts again with her energy :)
