And It's Over

The holiday season went by so fast this year. I love this time of year, and cannot get over the magic kids add to the season. We have had so much fun, and made so many memories. I am sad I wasn't able to blog about everything we have done. I am going to SLC next week, and I hope to have a functioning computer soon. Which is good, because my blog is one of the top items on my list for 2013. Christmas was amazing. Brilee and Bronson were spoiled rotten (we joked that Brilee maybe shouldn't be so good this year.)Jake and I were spoiled rotten as well, and the trip was so fun. We look forward to 2013 and all it has in store for our family. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

Two nights before we were leaving for Cali Bronson got super sick. It was the LONGEST night of my life. We had to do breathing treatments every couple of hours, and were constantly debating on if we needed to get him to the ER. Finally at 6:00 AM he fell asleep for the first time. My mom got to my house at 8:00 and she came into my room to see Brilee hogging the whole bed. Me sleeping on a tiny corner of the bed. Bronson sleeping in his car seat (and struggling to breath), and Jake curled around Bronson's car seat sleeping on the floor. She woke us up and said get Bronson in. We did, and Brad said he had croup. He gave him a steroid and that seemed to help for a few days. Bronson acted better, but just not himself. The day after we got home I took him back in, and this time they did a strep test. It came back positive, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE! So now, four days into the antibiotic he is acting more like himself. I also was sick, and it turns out both my ears were infected. This was the most miserable experience, and I do not know how my little Brilee has handled all her ear infections. They are HORRIBLE!!!! 

Brilee and all the kids were soooooo amazing during the Christmas concert. It was so cute, and so much fun. I LOVE her preschool! 

Little Man is 8 Months old!!! He is so cute and chubby! He wants to crawl so bad! He is just a rolling still. He can go backwards and in circles now. He LOVES the bath. Today I took him into the bathroom with me to put away towels and he was literally climbing out of my arms to get into the tub. I walked out of the room and he cried and cried. Finally, I stripped him down and threw him in the tub. He and Bri played in there for thirty minutes. Bronson loves to shake his head NO NO NO! He also has started mimicking our bear face and growl. It cracks us up! Oh, how we love him! 

Little Miss is as awesome as ever. She figured out how to write her name last month, and she loves showing everyone how she does it. She had so much fun in California and told me today, "Why didn't we stay there for two whole weeks?" To which I had no answer. 

It was all about the technology and song pop...

Our Elf left with a bang! 

Bri was so scared that he had cut her hair too. It was almost not funny for a minute. Then when she realized her hair was fine she really got into it. She went screaming out of our room, "Help Help the elf got daddy!"
