Christmas '08- Last Christmas with Grandma Merrill

My Grandma (dad's mom) passed away a few days ago. It was very sudden, and we are all in shock, but luckily we were able to spend Christmas Eve with them at my parents house and have a good time together before she was gone.

God be with you 'til we meet again!! We love you.

Our Christmas Baby- one year old!!!

Exactly one year ago Dec. 20, 2007, Bree was born! She weighed 6'13, our little Christmas angel. She now weighs almost 18 pounds. She has been pure joy to have in our lives. Bree started smiling at three weeks and laughing at four.















Exactly opposite from Rhett, she has always had quite the appetite...







Is that an apple in the bathtub???




Besides fights over toys, Rhett has loved her from day one!!! Everyday he is so excited when Bree wakes up and is usually the first one in her room to greet her. When people come to visit, he proudly introduces his sister ("This is Bee") and takes her to them so they can hold her, whether they want to or not..


























No one can make Bree laugh harder than Rhett. She loves to play with him, take baths with him, and chew on all his toothbrushes.. He goes through a lot because she destroys them or loses them.


Just for fun here are some more of my favorite pictures of Bree...



I hate how I look in this picture, but it is so funny, the way she laid in my belly to make it look like this!!

She never leaves anything on, but at least I get some good pictures before she rips it off!
What can I say, she's so cute!

Every baby does it right? But does every baby look so darn adorable while doing it???

Bree can say,"Hi!"

Bree in her cute new dress. Ready to take Dad's scriptures to church.

This year has flown by, I can't believe my sweet girl is already a year old! Happy Birthday Bree!

The Exploits of Rhett and Bree

"Just one more thing..."

So I was letting Rhett help me make some soup and I turned around to put some stuff in the sink and I could hear him saying, "Just one more thing," and opening up the cupboard. I turned around in time to see the "one more thing" was going to be orange and black sprinkles! This by far would have been one of his more tastier additions. He always puts stuff in when my back is turned and I usually don't notice until we eat or I try cooking whatever it is and I'm thinking, "Why is this so runny/thick/various colors..??"

"Mommy, I pee!!"

This time I was in a totally different room when I thought I heard the front door close. So I called out for Rhett - he likes to run outside when he sees someone and start talking to them - (scary)..He came into the room with his pants down and said "Mommy I pee!" At first I clapped for him and was so happy, but then I wondered what this had to do with the front door closing, so I took a look.... What??? Where does he get these ideas????I couldn't be mad because it was too funny. Can you imagine driving by and seeing this little boy peeing out his front door??The next time he did it however, I was not so kind!!!

This is Bree when I try to unload the dishwasher.

This is when I am trying to cook...

Notice her cute headband is around her neck...

When I am tring to clean....

Everytime I do her hair!!!!!

"What is this thing?? I want it out!!!"

This is Bree looking so dang cute I can't get her dressed, I have to take pictures instead...

You might ask yourselves, "How does she get anything done?" The answer is I don't......

Pilgrims and Indians

To kick off the Thanksgiving fun we went to a playgroup and made little Indian outfits. Rhett's was ripped to shreds by the end of the day, but at least I got some cute pictures of it.

I love that Rhett's so cheesy for the pictures. Of course he didn't actually eat Thanksgiving dinner, but he did go out and ride the horses (he can ride all by himself, with Heath walking alongside) and the four wheelers, (he actually drives himself... just kidding).. And after dinner we had races.

At first we just made the kids run, but then Heath, Alan, Dari and I decided to race. Who won? Well, technically it was Alan, but his legs are twice as long as mine so really I'm much faster than him and if Heath wasn't pushing me back, I probably could have done better than the one second I lost by. So if we really have to name a winner I'd have to go with me....Then I saw cat poop on the ground and quit racing, because I really wasn't wearing the shoes for it, so I was going barefoot and the bragging rights suddenly just weren't worth it. But I'll brag anyway. I'm just dang fast...

Later that day we went to my parents house and played a game... Would you rather? Wow. My family gets so competitive. Most the time it's funny, but sometimes it just ends in a fight. This one was bordering. It asked questions like, "Would you rather sleep every night in jeans and shoes or in a motorcycle helmet?" Motorcycle helmet right?? I was outvoted on that one.. Really..shoes???? "Would you rather have a bottle cap stuck on the tip of your tongue for a week or a bean shoved up one nostril?" That one was close but the majority went with bottlecap, which seemed like the best answer to me. The one that almost pushed us over the edge was "Would you rather have your wife disappointed in you for something you really did or your child disappointed in you for three years over something you didn't really do?" We were still debating it forever after the game was over...So I want to know, what would you choose?? Think it over, ask your spouse what he or she would choose... you might be surprised!!Remember to report back to me and tell me what you came up with!!!

Halloween Fun

We bought our pumpkins 2 days before Halloween. Rhett was so excited, he wanted to sleep with his pumpkin, eat with it by his bowl or plate, and play with it. When we started to carve it - only the day before Halloween - Rhett cried out, "Daddy, don't hurt the pumpkin!!"

















I asked Rhett if he wanted triangles or circles for eyes and he said, "Stars!" So his had star eyes and Bree's had heart eyes. He was so proud of that pumpkin, it was so funny!

The pumpkins' final resting place was (is -I still need to get rid of them) by the scarecrow. This was right before we left for the library. Rhett is a cowboy riding a horse. He named the horse Nerf, which is the name of the horse that he rides at his Grandpa Edwards' house. Bree was a unicorn, but she kept taking her little hood off. She looked hilarious crawling around with those huge wings on the back.
I tried to get a Devil costume for Heath and an angel for me, but Heath doesn't think he looked like a real Devil..

I did what I could..

Heath and I took turns taking Rhett around the block, but it turns out that he thought it was WAY more fun handing candy out to the kids who knocked on our door. Go figure...
