we are thankful for...

so many things, but on the top of our list this Thanksgiving is...

This little girl!!
We waited so long for her and I am so glad we get to celebrate the holidays with this special little girl!

chewing on some celery! :)

She wanted to be eating too!
She had a good Thanksgiving and hardly slept at all.. she wanted to be involved in everything.

Some things.....

that we have been up to!

Brandon was a little upset her first game wasn't at the Spectrum, but that will be another first! :) Our tickets were right in the middle of the standing student section. It was so loud for Braylie's little ears and I was not going to stand with her the whole game, so we moved!! :) We LOVE to see our Aggies win!

She did so good with her shots. she only cried when they poked her and by the time the band aids were on, she was done!

Hangin out with cousins!

for a minute.. Tayah and Bray were holding hands! It was so cute!

and just a fun picture!! :)

It is a good thing we have the cutest baby to keep our lives exciting!! :)

4 months and SO Blessed!

Yep, that is right...our baby is already 4 months!!
on Nov 11th

Seriously, I don't know where the time goes!
Lately I have been feeling SO extremely Blessed to have such an angel baby and I am reminded every day how much my Heavenly Father loves me. He is aware of my needs and helps me to get everything done and still be a good wife and mother AND WORK a full time job!!! I can't help but feel more than Blessed!
Braylie amazes me every day and I am super duper proud to be her mom!!

*she giggled for the 1st time when Dad was getting her ready for bed and I was curled up in a ball on the floor puking my guts out and only getting near her to feed her!
*she is so ticklish under her chin and on the side of her neck. She gets all giggly when we change her clothes! I love it!
*she loves taking baths in the warm water!

*she rolled from her front to her back, but won't do it again to show ANYONE! I promise, she did it on her own! :)
*she still loves her hands in her mouth and anything else she can get in there. She loves that dang thumb!
*she loves sitting in her bumbo.

* she gets excited to see Dad when he comes home from work!
*she finally has a consistent schedule that I can count on!
* she hates to cuddle, which, yes... makes me sad, but so nice when bed/naptime comes! She has never been a cuddler! :(
* she has outgrown most of her 0-3 clothes!
*she is getting chubby!
*she is such a smiley baby and will smile at a complete stranger!
* she talks and coos to herself and never cries when she wakes up!
* she is super content!
* she plays super well on her tummy!
* she will not go to sleep if she knows something is going on.. she doesn't want to miss out on ANYTHING... hmmmm, I have NO idea where she gets that.. do you, Mom? :)
* she makes the cutest little noise that I don't even know how to explain from the back of her throat!
* she is recognizing her toys!
*she LOVES to read!
*she sleeps with her hand on her face. She was always like this in every ultrasound so we couldn't see what she looked like!

*She likes her blanket on her face too!!
* she drools and slobbers like CRAZY!

Did I mention how much I love being her Mom? :)
If I knew all my kids would be this good, I seriously think I would have 10!!
Brandon thinks we should be done! :) Don't worry.. not really!

................FiRsT SpOoK dAy.................

We had so much fun with Braylie this year!! She did so good keeping her costume on and LOVED eating the Tulle from her tutu. She even kept the hat on!
We took her trick or treating to both Grandma's and Grandpa's and a few neighbors!
She did so good, but was so exhausted by the end of the night!
She was such a good little witch!
We always love Halloween because it is the anniversary of our first date.... we are going on 6 years! Wow! That is crazy!

This is out pumpkin man "RALPH"
I couldn't post most of the carving pics... not appropriate! :)

CORN MAZE

The other night...Brandon's work gave out free tickets to the black island farms corn maze, so we decided to go. We had a good time and made it all the way around Edward! :) We even got to watch the pig races. :)

Thanks Davis Hospital for a fun night!!
