Best Buds!!

.Riley and Jordan have become such good friends!!  They love to play together!  They run around Mandys like a bunch of wild indians!!  They just have so much fun together.  Here are some pictures of the two of them.....the first two we had take Tianna to the eye doctor and they were playing in the waiting room together.  Thn the next one they are watching a movie, and it looks like Riley is sharing his blanket with Jordan however, if you look closer you will see Jordan has his own blanket....Riley doesn't share the blanket to well!  But they were watching a movie.  Then the last one they are just playing at the eye doctors office.  Having fun and when they leave to go home they give hugs!!  So sweet!!

Milestones

Brandon has hadseveral milestones in his life lately.  We are so proud of him!!  Here is a picture of Brandon and Ernesto on his baptism day!!  It is so awesome to get baptized but it is just as awesome that Ernesto could baptise him!!

I thought I had a picture of Brandon in his scout shirt...as a matter of fact I know I did....don't know what happened to it,but Brandon is now in scouts!  Like I said before they grow up so fast!!  If I could give one piece of advice to parents it would be to take the time to enjoy your little ones they are grown and onto different things so fast!!

Brandons Concert

Not to long ago Brandon invited me to his concert.  They sounded so good!  I loved the songs they sang they were all so good.  He is growing up so fast!! 

Baileys Trip to Mcdonalds

Oopps!  Got these two backwards!!!  Anyway,  little while ago went to McDonalds and met Mandy, Ernesto and the kids.  Bailey was such a little piggy!  She ate fries, and the top of 2 hamburger buns, then  Ernesto bought all the kids ice cream sundays and she ate half of that!!  She was so tired that she was eating the last part in her sleep, her little eyes were closed, but the mouth kept opening!!  Then as you can see she crashed as soon as I put her in her seat to go home!  I know I am not very good with the computer and I am still learning how a lot of this works but........I had a picture of her zonked in her car seat!!  I swear I don't know what happened to it!!  I will try to add it later!

Jordan's Favorite Thing

Deffinately one of Jordans favorite things was his McDonalds kitchen with all the food and accessories.  He wanted to "sell" people food all day and still does when you go to visit!

Jacob's Tools

I am not sure if it was his favorite thing or not but I do know that he wanted it on as soon as he opened it.  Mandys family gave Jacob a tool set - tools and a hat, goggles, and a tool belt.  He really liked it!  And he looked so cute!  I think he was excited to start helping his dad in all the handiwork!

Tianna's Concert

I am not sure the dates and which comes first from here on out......but Tianna had a concert, she plays the clarinet.....and they did so good it brougt tears to my eyes!!!  Well, they did do very good and I was super impressed with them, but I think the tears came from the ralization that she is a young woman now!!  She will be 12 this June and she even gets to go to Girls Camp!!  They grow up so fast!

Christmas morn at Mandy and Ernesto's

We spent the night at Mandys Christmas Eve and got o get up with them and watch the kids open their presents...there is nothing like the excitement of a little childs at Christmas when they are anticipating the gifts that they are going to find under the tree!!  It was so fun!! Here are only a few pictures that I took just so you can see what all they got and how much they enjoyed it!!
