Thanksgiving

We ran a 5K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. Even my 3 year old brother Tyson ran the whole way. Breonna was Dallin's pit stop crew. She drove the car and fixed his bike chain each time it fell off. After the turkey trot we all felt like we deserved an extra piece of pie.


My silly family...do you know how much arm twisting it takes to get everyone together for a simple family snapshot? sigh.


I am thankful for my boys!

Clucking and Crawling

I've loved each stage of being a mom. But these last couple of weeks have been my new favorite stage. Bracken is discovering and learning so many new things. He's crawling, clucking his tongue, clapping his hands, picking up cheerios with his thumb and finger, saying "dadadada," "mom," and "dad-deee!" He loves looking at books, pulling Brian's homework out, and crinkling paper. When we roar at him he will either respond with a roar of his own and attack us, or pretend to be scared and flee to the parent who didn't growl at him for "protection" before turning around and smiling for more. He has a bottom tooth and two top teeth and so looks adorable and silly when he smiles and laughs.
