update...

I haven't done an update in a while..

Berklee is growing growing growing.. and not just length wise.

This girl is so dang smart and funny! Man she makes me laugh.

Fun things about Berklee:

- Loves to count-- 1,2,5,7,8,9,10,12,18 -- haha we're workin on it

- Knows pink, purple, yellow, green and sometimes blue

- Knows all her cousins, aunts and uncles names

- Only cries for a second after I drop her off to nursery

- Done with her binky except for sleeping

- Loves to say hi and bye to anyone and everyone

- Very very polite and will always tell you thank you if you give her something

- Still is mommy's little puppy and will follow me EVERY where (when does this stop and she'll just be content with playing by herself) :)

- Has a best friend, HIS name is Kayden and she asks for him everyday.

- Loves to sing sing sing

- Clean freak! Can't stand crumbs on her hands and will wipe them constantly while eating even if she is wiping and then going straight back to the thing that made them dirty in the first place.

- Will always help mommy "cean up" her toys, dinner, laundry, etc.

- Loves "rella" (Cinderella, :) mommy's favorite movie when she was little too)

- Asks constantly "what doing?"

- Loves to slide, swing and jump (I can't wait for warmer spring and summer)

- Will always look back at us and tell us to "come on" as she motions with her hand

- Still loves her food

- Sleeps 9pm-9:30am with a 3-3 1/2 hr nap

- Loves brushin her teeth, bath/shower time and "yotion" (lotion)

She is getting better and better with her words.

Some of my favorite that just make me smile are

-yook (look)

-yotion (lotion)

-youd (loud)

-a sauce sauce (apple sauce)

-cean (clean)

-riro (rio-the movie)

-a me (despicable me-moive)

best friend Kayden

who needs a radio when you got Berklee in the car :)

my little performer

remember when?

Do you ever look back at old pictures and old videos and just die laughing like it just happened yesterday?

Today was one of those days that I needed a good laugh and nothing better than looking at old funny videos...

Literally in all of these videos was my best friend Kimly! Boy do I miss those days of thinking up crazy things to do and just doing them for the heck of it!!

Sorry for the crazy camera but thats just what you are going to get when filming on a boat!

I'm on the left and Kimly on the right.

I still die laughing watching this because I just don't understand how hitting that wave sends me flying backwards yet Kimly doesn't move an inch.

Me and Amanda were doing back flips off the diving board so why not Kimly. As you can tell Kimly has never done a back flip before!

what not to do.

what to do.

We saw this stunt done on So You Think You Can Dance. So why not try it!! There were many many stunts done on SYTYCD that we tried I just don't think we caught a lot of them on camera!

I sit on Kimlys face so in return she lets me face plant it on the ground! I thought thats what the spotters were there to make sure didn't happen but Trissy and Tiff were a little busy trying not to pee their pants. PS this was done at a bee's game on the field waiting for the fireworks to start. We didn't care one bit what people thought of us! :)

Hope this brightens your day like it did mine.

enjoy :)

potty time

Three days after Berklee got her potty she used it!!

She hasn't since used it so I'm not claiming her to be potty trained but she woke up dry, I asked if she wanted to go pee on the potty she said yes and she did it! I'm not ready to start potty training, I want to get rid of the binky first, but if she wakes up dry or says yes when I ask her if she wants to use it then you betcha I'm gonna have her use it! Love my little girl!

(She'll probably kill me one day for posting this picture)

Merry Christmas

I love Christmas!

I love Christmas even more with a kid! We were so lucky to be able to see both our families on Christmas but most of all we were lucky to have our own Christmas morning at home just the three of us.

I knew Berklee is still young enough to not really get Christmas so we didn't want to go overboard with presents but it is just so dang fun shopping for toys! But to be honest I think her favorite present wasn't a toy.. it was her potty! Yes, this girl is obsessed with a potty.

After church, which it was so wonderful to have Christmas land on Sunday this year so we could go to church and remember the real meaning of Christmas, we headed up to Heber to have brunch and Christmas with the Palmers. I think it was about 50 degrees in Heber... ON Christmas! It was heaven. Berklee was spoiled and got some fun things as did me and Jesse.

We let the kiddos nap and the adults played some sweet Rock Band! Boy have I missed that game.

We headed down to my parents later that night for scones and presents for the grandkids. My parents have started a tradition (this year) that we have our adult Christmas party earlier in the week (no kids) so we are able to have a nice dinner, games and presents with no interruptions. And may I just say I love this new tradition. Sadly, I have no pictures from that night but our dinner was yummy and we got a much needed game of CRUD in. Pretty sure some of us left with bruises that night! :)

Berklee loved being with her cousins on Christmas and couldn't get enough of the wrapping paper with her cousin Whitney. These kids are going to be the best of friends.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

zoo lights

This was our first year going to zoo lights and we will

definitely be going back next year!

There were so many more kid friendly lights, less people and there were animals to see.

Berklee loved it! And honestly.. so did I!

Merry Christmas!
