We've decided to add another!

So we are pregnant again! We are actually at 19 weeks now and just found out yesterday that we are welcoming a little girl. I didn't care either way if it was a boy or girl but was really excited when we found out at our ultrasound.

12 Weeks Pregnant

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

October On.....

So here is an update from the beginning of October until the end of 2010. Picture overload, I know.

We got Family Pictures finally so I uploaded some of my favorites. It was really a blast!!

Christmas 2010
Branson with Santa (Grampy)

Some pics that went out with our Christmas card. Love him in this hat!

In November we went to the train park in Scottsdale to take Branson on their little train they have there. He loved it.

Thanksgiving 2010
For Thanksgiving this year we went to my moms the Sunday before and had actual Thanksgiving with Forests family here in Safford. We were in charge of the turkeys so thanks to our sweet Judy (Forests mom) she let us borrow her smoker and this is the bird we got out of it. BEAUTIFUL. Too bad we didnt know how long to cook it for and it was done cooking at like 4 AM that morning so we had to reheat it. It was a great Thanksgiving.

Halloween 2010
We were here in Thatcher for Halloween this year. We went to our wards Trunk or Treat and we dressed up as the 3 bears. It was pretty funny.
Branson with his Frankenstein jammies.

We worked for weeks to get him used to his halloween hat so he would wear it on Halloween so here he is wearing it while hes eating.

Branson turned 1!
For Bransons birthday we had a party down at my moms in Mesa. We decided to go with a Teddy Bear Picnic and it ended up so cute!
Branson with one of his walking things

Me and Forest found him this train that goes along a track. It is so cute and we can't get him off of it.

Branson and his "girlfriend" Keegan

Bear Paw cupcakes

PB and J Bear sandwiches

Party bags

We set up a "bear cave" so you had to walk through this before going out to the backyard.

The candy table filled with Bear Trail Mix and Bit o' Honey and tons of different kinds of gummy bear - chocolate covered, mini, sour, cinnamon etc.

His bear cake that my aunt Mylie made him that ended up sooo cute.

My dad even painted Paw Prints on his tile through the bear cave

Branson and Grampy (my dad)

Wickiup (this is on the drive to vegas)

Branson and Forest at the doctor

Branson loves to drive Forests truck and so we put him up there the other day and he will shake the steering wheel and then reach down and shake the shifter then back to the steering wheel. Apparantley they do watch everything closely.

Branson gets really goofy when he is tired

Uh Oh, looks like he is his father's son

My smiley boy! This is him with Fruity Pebbles all over his face

With Forest at Home Depot - He love to go with his dad as much as his dad takes him and shows him off

Usually he wont sleep anywhere but in the car or his crib but he passed out on the living room floor

Branson and Uncle Gary

Here are a couple of random pics of Branson with us. We can't get enough of this kiddo
