January - March

So in January, we celebrated our 2 year anniversary, CRAZY!, but they have been excellent. We have really been blessed to have eachother and especially our sweet Branson boy who has been so amazing! Since our anniversary and my birthday are a few days apart, we took a trip out to Cali and went on a short 3 day cruise. On our way out there we stayed the night in Palm Springs and that was probably the highlight of our entire trip.
February, we celebrated our Valentines by getting a hotel for the night in Phoenix while my mom kept Branson and as always Forest spoiled me completely rotten to celebrate the day (he's the best)
Our Branson boy is almost 18 months old. I swear he gets more fun every single day. He is running everywhere, he love to ride his 4 wheeler (thanks to Kevin, Tabitha and Keegan) and is repeating everything and is really becoming quite the ham. So here are a couple of pics...
All of them are really random and totally unedited so I'll just label them below as we go.

Gary (Forests brother) is always the best! Not only is he a great uncle and Branson loves him but he always takes extra care of us when it comes to Broadway tickets, so in January we went to see Wicked in Tucson.

Valentines! Forest went overboard as usual (one of the reasons I love him soooo much) These are the things he got me and this didn't include the hotel for the night accompanied by eating out at Brazilian Bull - a Brazil BBQ Churrasco (one of our favorites) in Chandler

We were driving to Mesa and my nephew Rhett says "theres Thomas the Train" and sure enough we saw this full size Thomas on the track

I made homemade pizza! It looks super sloppy but was delicious. Here we have on top 1/2 sausage, 1/2 sausage pineapple and bellpeppers and the other a white sauce pizza with BBQ chicken!

This last Sunday we decided to take a short roadtrip down to Morenci, it was a great day and lots of fun!

This picture cracks me up! I am always freezing so I decided to put on my red boots when I was doing dishes one night over my jammies so Forest had to take a pic.

Oh yeah! my new car. It's dirty in this picture but my amazing husband got me this bad boy for my birthday! Happy birthday to me!

I decided to do some canning for our year supply. We got some chicken in bulk for pretty cheap and we bought like 12 frozed turkeys this last Thanksgiving when they were so cheap. We ended up doing 31 quarts of chicken and about 12 quarts of turkey! Oh and Branson got in on the action in the pressure cooker.

Here we let Branson have at it at some pudding! He was a mess but he was quiet and we enjoyed our dinner out

Bransons new lounging zone! He loves the Baby Genius videos and does all the actions to the fun songs. So if I turn it on in our room he climbs himself on the bed and lounges out

Branson has been putting on our shoes lately and laughs at himself. It is pretty hilarious

Branson fell asleep in the car so to avoid waking him Forest unbuckled the entire carseat and took it into Del Taco while we ate. We were laughing about this one
