Oh my... so much has been going on, it's insane! but the major thing that has happened is that my grandparents came home from their mission! :) Here are some of the pictures taken at the airport while we were waiting!

She wasn't too thrilled about waiting but she did pretty good considering!

Oh marcus... such a cute lil guy! 

 This is a miricle! Brax wan't the happiest of campers! but he is so funny!

 Mikey was having fun with all the kids! I love his hat!

 HAHAHA... Kaia is so funny!  I asked her to show me her awesome sign and this is what I got! If looks could kill.... lol

 She perked up a little bit after that haha

 Waiting... waiting... waiting... 

 Tuns out we were waiting by the wrong gate... lol We forgot they came in from the international gate so they walked up right behind us haha it was funny but we are happy they are home!

Here is the whole gang! :) 

Oh aren't my grandparents so cute!

anyways... Brielle is getting so big! We had her 4 month well baby check up a couple of weeks ago. She is 17.5 lbs. and 26.5 inches long! she is in the 90th percentile and above in all the categories. She has learned to roll from her back to her belly! It is so cute but she gets so mad that she can't get back to her back! but she is so cute, her personality is starting to show more and more everyday! Her hair is also getting longer! I love it! It is so red! :)

I rarely get pictures of her smiling so this is a rare occasion! Every time I pull the camera out she gets such a serious look on her face! I had to work for this one!

we are such terrible parents haha this is how she likes to watch tv... she is so funny and we love her! 

I have started working out again... I am sick of not having any clothes to wear haha I have a long way to go but I am woking at it! I have already lost a like 6 or 7 lbs. (since I started in November.. but slacked off since last week) It annoys me that I let myself go when I was pregnant, but now I guess I will have to work out  even harder this time. I am thinking about running a 5k in April. I am starting to "train" by trying to improve my time.. It is pretty sad right now but hopefully I will make it in a decent time by then! If not I think we will run one in June!

anyways, enjoy... or not! It's your choice!

Merry Christmas and all that jazz...

We had a pretty awesome Christmas!  We didn't do much leading up to Christmas (we were too lazy lol) but we had a pretty busy holiday weekend!  We spent Christmas eve in Spanish Fork with Ray's family. We had a good time even if we were the only ones there for the majority of the time haha. Then we spent Christmas day at with my family in Heber. We had fun there too! It was WAY more crazy with the all the kiddos but it was fun to see the boys get so excited! I can't wait until Brielle is old enough to know what is going on! Maybe next Christmas she will get it a little bit... We did go buy shatter proof bulbs for our tree for next year... Having a one year old and glass bulbs probably isnt a good idea!  So here are a few pictures from the eventful weekend!

Ray was so excited when we actually had presents under our tree. I think he asked me everyday for a week before christmas if we could open them.. so on Christmas Eve I let him open the ones from me! I had gone to Logan and got him some new USU hats because he really needed new hats! I also got him a USU license plate cover (or whatever those things are called)! He was excited... he has been saying he wanted one since he got his new truck!

 

This is us in our "Christmas outfits" after church! Brielle looked so cute in her pretty red dress!

These weren't her christmas jammies but they were still cute! I love the hat! 

We also had all the boys put on santa hats and brielle was the christmas elf haha they were so funny! Braxton is a little stinker but he is so funny! 

After the pictures were taken I was handed BOTH babies haha I cannot imagine having twins!! It would be so hard! but I do love me some chunky babies! Marcus was so tired from all the picture mayhem that he totally zonked out as soon as he was picked up!  No luck with that for Brielle... little stinker hates naps. which sucks for me. 

I didn't get any pictures of New Years but we had a fun time! We went to Logan and had a Harry Potter marathon with Josh and Ashlee and the kiddos! and that is all that has been going on! We are excited for this coming year and all that it will bring! Ray hopes to find a teaching job in Utah County so he can move closer to the mink ranch (ugh... oh well... He loves it so I will try to pretend to love it too!). He takes his last praxis test this month and after this school year he will have his level 2 teaching license which is awesome! :) I am just going to be hanging out this year just like I did last year! I don't have any special plans as of right now... except to lose all this sucky baby weight... but that is an ongoing trial haha because the second I lose it it will probably be time to put it back on again. story of my life haha anyways, that is all for now! 

Enjoy... or not.. Your choice!

I just love this girl! :)

Grandma Davis gave Brielle a fun play mat for an early Christmas present! She loves it!

Isn't she so cute!? we love her!!

and yet another facial expression that I can't stop laughing at! She likes to yell at me... Sassy little baby!

This one is pretty good too! haha...

.... and this one!

She's getting more used to being on her tummy.. but she still hates it.

She has such a big noggin... but I think she is so cute! I love her eyes in this one!

Anyways... that is all I really have for the moment! We are doing good and we are looking forward to the holidays! 

Loads of pictures!

So yes, I have become one of those people who once they have a baby will only blog about the baby. So sue me :) I have nothing else going on in my life at the moment so I have decided to post lots of pictures that I have on my computer! I probably take a thousand a day. As I was looking at all the pictures I have taken over the past 2 months I started finding out that Brielle has a lot of facial expressions and as I kept going I just giggled and giggled. She is so funny... or maybe she thinks I am crazy so she looks at me weird haha...  So I hope you enjoy her many facial expressions as much as I do! 

This is the "what the heck mom?" look (I get it frequently)

This was when she was little tiny and she was just learning how to smile!

 

This is a "you are a dork mom what the heck do you want!" look haha

 This is one of my FAVORITE pictures I have taken of her haha it makes me laugh every time I look at it! She is so chunky and her little smirks are so cute!

This one also makes me giggle! That lip!! So sad but so cute at the same time!

She really hates that hat... every time I put it on her this is what she does... I have to be sneaky with hats. I have to put it on her when she is asleep or I get this...

HAHAHA how can you not laugh when you see this picture!? It is my favorite "You are a freak" look haha I am so glad I got this! I might frame it and show her when she is older how sassy she was from the beginning!!

She really LOVES bath time! She splashes the crap out of that tub!

And this is my absolute favorite to leave you with! I just love her!

One of these days I might have something to say about me or Ray but right now we are both pretty boring! He works and I stay home with the chunky butt!

If you need a good laugh...(#4 is my favorite lol)
