Christmas Dress

Here's Brooklynn in her Christmas dress- she was so excited to wear it! I put her hair in sponge curlers overnight and it went out of control! She was showing everyone her hair when we got to church and was very proud of it!
So Cute!
I think she was sick of me taking pictures

Our Little Girl

Helping me make a cake- or just eating it! She is just like her dad!

Ready and very excited to go play in the snow!

Brooklynn had turned into such a girly girl! She loves the princess stage and now its all about princesses and dresses! She has been saying the funniest things and always knows how to make us laugh. One day she randomly pointed to me and said "that's Kella and daddy is Bryce" She has been talking so well and some days doesn't seem to ever stop! She is such a daddy's little girl and loves to cuddle with him every night for a good 20 min. Whenever she hears my phone ring she runs to answer it and says " hello daddy" and loves to talk to him.

She loves to help me do anything and everything- here she is helping me make fudge

This is her favorite nightgown! My mom made it for her and she always wants to wear them. She is also carrying her balloon she got from the store- she would not let it go and carried it around all night. We had to "accidentally" pop it after a few days cause she wouldn't let go of it.

Brooklynn LOVES the snow! She has been so excited to go out and play whenever it snows. She puts her snow stuff on and calls herself a "pink mallow". The boys also love the snow- we decided to get then some sweaters to help keep them warm since they were being babies and always acting like they were always cold.

Brooklynn has grown up so much the past few months! She is now being potty trained and is doing really great so we took her petco to pick out some goldfish. She has entered into the princess phase and is becoming all girl! Her favorite movie is now Cinderella and she loves to watch Looney Tunes. She says "bugs bunny is funny and daffy duck is silly". She is always saying the funniest things that make us laugh all the time. She loves to wear dresses and would wear a dress everyday if I would let her. She loves to dance around and always talks about going to the ball and dancing with the prince. She has also loved stickers lately and mostly wears them on her head. She is turning into a little mother and is so helpful with everything! We are so glad to have her in our family and couldn't picture life without her. Here are a few pictures of how cute she is!

5 Years and Running

This is Bryce, Today is a special day for me. Exactly 5 years ago I met my best friend and eternal companion. I consider myself very lucky that Kella had the patience and the poor eye sight to even consider me. When I met Kella I wasn’t necessarily living my life in the best way. Fortunately for me she saw me for who I really was not who I was letting myself be at the time. As soon as I met her I knew there was something about her that I could not resist and I knew without a doubt that my Heavenly Father was giving me another chance. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t thank my heavenly father for bringing her into my life. I am so blessed to have her in my life forever and for a beautiful daughter that she has given me. I am so grateful for the calming influence she has been in my life and also for the maid she has become to me. I am not very good at cleaning up after myself but without fail she is always right behind me to pick up after me. Kella is a very quiet person and I am glad that I am the one she has chosen to open up to, not a whole lot of people know her the way I do but she has such an amazing spirit and I could not ask for a better spouse and mother to my children. No offense to anyone else but I am blessed to have the most amazing wife in the world. Kella I love you more than anything, I thank you for everything and for helping me become the man I am today. I hope that today means as much to you as it does to me ;)
