What we have been up to....

Our fine motor skills

Annabelle's "Spanish Ladies & Gentlemen" History of Utah performance.The highlight of my night was watching Annabelle dance her first dance with Jorge. Her and Beetle also stole the dance floor dancing the Virginia Reel.

 Notice all the girls admiring Annabelle's Spanish Spirit? Too bad they all don't have an Aunt Rachel to hook them up(;

 Lots of Snow and COLD weather! Beetle still refuses to wear pants on his days off work... even if it is 4 degrees outside.

A lot of inside time. Which means A LOT of Lego building for Benson. He came upstairs explaining his creation. "look at my billboard...you know those things you see on the freeway, it's advertising Star Wars."  Very observant, this boy is.

A lot of SICK time. Luckily only Annabelle, Simon and I have experienced the flu thus far. I don't know how Beetle, Benson, Brigham and Maxwell escaped it, but I am sure thankful. Simon is now just getting over the croup too. Today I made banana bread and Simon saw it coming out of the oven, I don't know if he thought it was meatloaf or what but he ran to the fridge and said " I wan kessup". I tried telling him we don't eat ketchup with banana bread but he wasn't buying it. He had a craving and he wanted to satisfy. I know he gets his ketchup taste buds from me, so I let him be. Beetle won't like this picture, I know it.

A few things about Baby Brig at 9 (almost 10) months.
-Army crawling
-Eating every tiny object he can get his fingers on
-Sits on his cute bottom and plays with toys for a very good chunk of time.
-He loves cheerios
-He loves his rice cereal and baby food
-He loves my Milk :)
-He still loves his 3 a.m. feeding
-He has four teeth (3 on bottom, 1 on top)
-He loves his very soft bright blue blanket and rubs it on his face before falling asleep.
-He loves his pacifier when it is not being yanked out by his big brother.
-He loves being cuddled
I love my Baby Brigham, I am so blessed to be his Momma! I couldn't have chosen a better fifth baby, he is so easy going and has such a sweet little personality-plus*** he's a Momma's Boy and I. LOVE. IT. Sure, it may have something to do with the fact that my Milk tastes good but I am going to soak it up while I can!
