Finally...

We are on our own and loving doing our own weddings. My mom and I have been at Thanksgiving Point as designers and florists for the past 6 years. We loved it there and miss so many people, but we are more thrilled to be creating beauty on our own.


Drum roll please.................

Introducing Pretty Posies.

Sunny San Diego

We took the kiddos and headed to see my brother for his 30th Birthday. Neither one of the kids have been on a plane and since Brody isn't 2 yet we thought we would take advantage of not having to pay for him and take a plane ride. I don't know if that was such a good idea....as soon as we got to the airport we knew it was going to be crazy flying with 2 kids. Brody was running all over and behind the jetblue checkin counter while I was trying to hold Brooklyn and both our carryons...Austin was trying to get our bags and the carseats checked in while I ran after Brody...I am sure people were laughing thinking glad thats not us. I thought as soon as we can get through security and get on the plane I am sure Brody will be good, think again.....our plane was delayed so we had more chasing to do up and down the terminals, if one of us grabbed him and tried to make him sit by us and play with his toys he would scream and yell "done, done, done" People thought we were trying to kipnap the kid I am sure. Finally we got on the plane and there was no empty rows so I asked a guy if we could sit by him and was he ok sitting by kids, he didn't even answer us, he just got up and moved seats....I guess he wasn't really a kid kinda guy. haha Once we sat, Brody was wild as ever and wouldn't sit down, he wanted to bounce on the seats the whole time. All we could do was laugh and keep reminding eachother....lets not do this again.

Brody's little cheeks were as rosy as ever from all the running he had done. :)

As soon as we boarded Austin said "I get Brooklyn" haha I said that was fine because I am sure Brody would fall asleep anyway......... Lucky Dad!


Every now and then he would watch Toy Story, but for the most part he wanted to check everything out and see who was sitting behind and infront of us.



When we got to Cali, the cousins were so glad to see eachother. Sawyer and Brody were inseperable the whole time.

Brooklyn learned how to roll over and really enjoyed showing us all with a Huge smile on her face.

The 2 crazy boys were in everything, but as long as they were having fun and not getting hurt we just laughed and thought boys will be boys.



They rode these all day everyday, it was really cute.


Little Miss is obsessed with sucking her toes, I think it is hilarious so I had to show her off.


We went to the San Diego Zoo one day and it was AMAZING!!! They have very cool animals there, even this turtle that has been alive since 1908.


Brody was obsessed with the "onkeys" These Gorillas were huge and running around, there was probably 5 or 6 and 2 babies that were adorable.




Even Brooklyn liked checkin them out.

The Elephants


Brody, Sawyer and Kayla Starr

There was a huge life size statue of an elephant, so of course the 2 daredevils had to climb up it to show us how strong they are. Wow, good job boys!!!

They have the same bouncer as we do...Brooklyn was in heaven.

Brody turned into a little fish on this trip. He used to be kind of afraid of swimming pools but just watching his cousins jumping in and out of the pool, he decided that looked pretty fun and he would do everything they were doing, even if it scared mom.




Austin got to stay a few days and I stayed almost 2 weeks. He was really jealous of me. :) I loved being in California and seeing my Brother and his family. I miss them already and can't wait to go back and play with them again!!!!

one month older

Miss Brooklyn is 4 months old today.


She is holding her head up really well and starting to like tummy time (kinda) it lasts about 5 minutes then she is done. :) She loves holding onto toys, checking them out and tasting them. She is rolling to her sides but hasn't quite mastered getting all the way over.

She went to the doctors today and everything went well,
she is getting so big and is growing like crazy.
Weight- 15lb. 3oz. -84%
Length- 25.59 in.-92%
Head- 16.2 in.-59%

Brody loves being right by his sis and wanted to help me take care of her today when I was givng her tylenol to help her feel better from the shots. He was really worried about the bandaids and kept trying to get them off of her. What a good big brother!


Brody is also one month older, yesterday he turned 20 months.

This picture is the typical Brody, messy from one of his "tweets."

I couldn't be happier with my kiddos. I thought 2 kids was going to be crazy and hectic, I was so scared when I found out little Miss was coming into our life. I was so wrong, I couldn't love being a mom to 2 wonderful kids more. It is my greatest blessing!!!!!! Every morning I wake up excited to see their little faces, what a joy they both are to me.

The Easter Bunny

hopped into our house on Sunday morning, he brought us toys, new church clothes and many yummy things for us to snack on.


Brody even got a bubble gun!!! YAY!!! His new favorite toy to play with.

(it lasted about 1 hour then it quit working, what the heck bunny)

Brooklyn loved her new toys

but mostly just wanted to feel how soft her bunnies ears were. :)
We had a such a fun morning with the kids, they make holidays even more special!!!!

We hope that Mr. Bunny found you too!!!

Happy Easter

Little Miss

This little girl is always surrounded by trucks from her brother.

He drives all around her making sure that she can see how cool his toys are.


I don't think she minds it a bit, in fact, I think she loves the attention that Brody gives her.

The louder she squels the faster he drives the cars around her.

Its pretty hysterical to watch.

Brooklyn is also been loving the bouncer. I just put her in it the other day to see what she would think. I always feel bad for her when she is laying on the floor, so now she can sit in her bouncer and watch what we are doing. She doesn't really understand it. She will be sitting still when all of a sudden she moves her foot and it bounces her. She gets all wide eyed and smiles. She doesn't know what just happened, but she likes it.

Brooklyn's Blessing

On Sunday April 10 Brooklyn Rose was Blessed by her Daddy.

It was a beautiful blessing, one that made everyone get a little teared up.

Austin did such an amazing job.

It is so special for me to hear him bless our children, I am greatful that he is able to give them such a gift in their lives.

We had a little brunch at our clubhouse afterward to let our families mingle and eat some delicious food.



Austin's Grandma's are the sweetest women that you can find. We love them to pieces.

My little princess girl that was absolutely beautiful in her dress.
