Brooklyn turns TWO!!!

Brooklyn turned Two-years-old this past Tuesday. I can't hardly believe that my little girl is growing up so fast. She is such a sweet girl that is very curious about everything. We were able to throw her a little birthday party with all her friends from Nursery. Here are a few of the pics we took.

Announcement Time

We have an announcement that we have been failing to post on our Blog. We are going to have another baby!! We are expecting our little bundle of joy on July 5th, 2009. We are really excited and can't wait until our little sweet pea is here.

Christmas Highlights

This Christmas, Ricky and I were able to spend time over at his parents place. All of Ricky's siblings and there spouses were able to come this year and we have had a fun time spending time with them. Here are a few highlights of our Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

Christmas 2008

Yesterday, Ricky and I were finally able to bring Brooklyn to go see Santa. I wasn't quite sure what to expect this year, but this was the outcome.

Maybe next year Brooklyn won't cry!!! 

Halloween 2008

This Halloween, Brooklyn and Ricky had a fun time dressing up. Ricky went as Napoleon Dynamite and Brooklyn went as Minnie Mouse. Ricky had a lot of fun dressing up for work and most people could figure out who he was suppose to be. This was Brooklyn's second year at trunk-or-treat, and she was surprised that people were just giving candy away. She figured out where to put her candy and that she should say "thank you" after people gave her candy. She did a great job and she especially had a great time with her friend Kinsley. They decided to hold hands and go trunk-or-treating on there own. They also managed to play a few games of ring around the rosies.

Update for September and October

I have been so busy lately, that I have struggled to have the desire to update our blog. In early September, Ricky and I went on a cruise with our friends Jeff and Cara Warnick to Progresso, Mexico, Cozumel, Mexico, and Grand Cayman. We had the best vacation ever and really enjoyed the company. There are so many pics to choose from!! After our cruise, we had a hard time going back to reality. You get so use to people cooking and cleaning for you, it's a real disappointment when you realize that you have to do it yourself once your off the ship. Brooklyn had a good time while we were gone with both her Nana and Gigi Gloria. They went to the zoo, the aquarium, and to the park everyday. After a few weeks we got back into our routine of life. After only a few days of being home, I had the opportunity of being reunited with one of my old roommates, Polly, who happened to mysteriously be in my ward while her husband sold security systems. We had lost touch after she had gone on a mission, so it was nice to hang out after so long. We hung out everyday for almost a month, before she and her husband had to go back home. 

A few weeks ago, we went to the fair (with the Warnick Family). We saw lots of animals and enjoyed eating the fattiest and greasiest food that you can eat there. A week after the fair, Brooklyn and I went to California to visit my parents. We had a really good time and were sad to leave. This week were looking forward to Halloween. Brooklyn is going to be Minnie Mouse this year. Were so excited!!! Well post pictures after Halloween. Everyone have a great week!

The Bride and Groom

Groom's side of the Family

This past weekend we were able to fly out to Utah for Ricky's brother's wedding. We had a good time the night before the wedding meeting Stacy's family (the bride) and getting to know them a little better. Saturday was the day of the wedding. Stacy looked so beautiful and Pierce was the happiest I have ever seem him. It was a wonderful day to celebrate their love for one another. After the wedding, we were able to go up to Park City and we rode the Alpine Slide down the mountain. It was fun, but after the slide we went on the roller coaster and it was a blast!! If your ever looking for something to do in Park City, I highly recommend it. The weekend overall was spend with family and we had fun making new memories.
