Bradlee Business

Bradlee is growing up so fast; it is hard for me to handle. She goes potty in the toilet everytime now. She had one accident today, but only because she couldn't get the door open. As soon as she decided she was ready to use the toilet, there was no turning back, and the whole process has been super easy. She is talking so much more now, which is a huge relief for me. Yesterday in the car she was singing, "noman, noman, tall, tall, tall". It was the cutest Snowman song I have ever heard, that's for sure. She loves her little brother, but only occasionally does she call him Brock. It is usually Buddy, but lately she has taken a liking to Buddy Boy. She likes to wrestle him to the ground, and he loves it. It is quite the site during sacrament meeting, let me tell ya. We are totally into Care Bears and "pobies" (My Little Ponies) right now. She tries to take all twelve of her ponies with us wherever we go. Luckily, she now has a purse for all her ponies which she thinks is the greatest thing ever. Oh, and she is a lot more cuddly now than she has ever been, and coming from her...I can't say I'm hatin' it. She will come up to me now with her arms up and say "hold me". That's a welcome change from her usual "get the hell away from me" attitude. (Excuse my language, but that's the only way to explain it!) Bradlee made Tyler and Brock put clips in their hair and pose for this picture with her. I know...I know...pretty freakin' adorable. I am one lucky lady!

Brock - 10 Months

Well, now that Brock is 10 months old, I decided it was time for his nine month wellness check-up and his six month immunizations. What can I say? I am on top of it! Good new is...we are now on schedule for his 12 month visit. As of today, Brock weighs 20 lbs. which is in the 25th percentile (or close to it). He is 29 inches long...which is in the 50th percentile. His head circumference is almost 18 inches, which is also the 50th percentile. He is so fun to have around. I love how happy he is ALL THE TIME! He is all over the place now, and he gets into everything! He pulls himself up to a standing position all the time, and can even stand on his own for a few seconds. He is a killer at church....SO LOUD, and he hates relief society! He turns his mobile on and off by himself, and says dadadada and mamama all day long. After his shots today, he 100% chewed out the nurse, but was totally fine and happy as soon as she left the room!

How can you not love this little guy?!

7th Folder, 7th File

TAGGED!
This picture was taken the Christmas of 2007 at my sister's house in Klamath Falls. Bradlee loves her Papa!

Finally Caught Up!

I am finally caught up on my blogging!!! Not my best work, but four posts in one night is definitely a record. ENJOY!

Last Weekend

Saturday I went to Fort Collins to celebrate Thaiya's 7th birthday and Jetrin's 1st birthday at Chuck E Cheese. Bradlee was really excited to see her cousins. Jetrin would give Brock a hug everytime they were close. It was the cutest thing ever. Jamie said he would send me the pictures, but I don't expect I will see those anytime soon. He also told me he would update his blog!

Right after the birthday party, I had to hurry back up to Cheyenne to the Ward Valentine's party that the Elders were putting on. It was an awesome party....too bad only like 20 people showed up! Their loss!!!

Sunday we had a sister in our ward and her husband, who is an investigator, over for dinner. They are a super fun family, and it was really nice to get to know them better.

Sweetheart Tag

I got this tag a long time ago, but it was too good to let it go to waste! Better late than never...

My Sweetheart

1. Where did you first meet your sweetheart?
He approached me at ward prayer and said, "You are from Klamath Falls, right? Your last name is Bricco, right? Your dad's name is Terry, right?" Turns out he served his mission in K-town and totally knew my whole family!

2. What do you remember most about him/her?
He was wearing his South Davis t-shirt and old man slippers.

3. Who asked who out first?
He totally asked me out first. After all, he was practically stalking me. Just kidding, it was more of a mutual decision that we would go do something.

4. What did you do on your first date?
We went out to eat at an Italian restaurant on Center St. in Provo. I can't remeber the name of it right now, but I had lipstick on my teeth, and Tyler thought I might be "special".

5. What were your favorite things to do together when you were dating?
We ate and fought a lot, but we were also both very into music.

6. When was your first kiss with your sweetheart?
November 2003

7. When did you first realize you loved him or her?
Probably when he pulled my backpack over my head and pushed me down in the BYU library. Cracks me up to this day.

8.Who said it (I love you) first?
Well, I asked Tyler if he could ever love me, and he said he already did. So...techically he said it first, but I was totally fishing for it!

9.How did he/she propose?
Well due to the infamous "incident" that we don't speak of, I was currently at home in Klamath Falls, and one Sunday after church and after coming home from candy shopping in Granny's candy dresser, Tyler popped out of my closet and proposed.

10. What are two things you remember most about your wedding day?
How Tyler and I were truly best friends, and how lucky I was to have ALL of my siblings in the temple with me.

Valentine's / Presidents' Day Weekend

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I get super excited for it every year. Friday night Tyler and I took the kids to Red Lobster to celebrate. As usual, I ate all of my meal and some of Tyler's also. I just can't help myself.

Saturday morning we woke up and....THE VALENTINE BIRD CAME! Bradlee was so excited! The bird brought each of the kids valentines shirts. Bradlee also got a DVD, candy and a toy. Brock got a toy ball and a toy jeep. I have a feeling he will probably get some candy next year too!

Saturday afternoon all of the McLachlan's came to visit us for the weekend. It was so good to see family! Saturday night we went out to Red Lobster AGAIN! We got in in under an hour which was AWESOME.

Sunday we all went to church. Lisa came with me to my Sunday School class and shared an experience from her mission. It was really touching, and I was so glad she came. Also, Bradlee made cookies with grandma, and we played some sort of card game with LOTS and LOTS of Ski men. I think Tyler had the most ski men though!

Monday we went down the outdoor mall in Loveland. That was a blast because I LOVE me some shoppin'! The day was beautiful, and everyone had a great time walking around outside. The McLachlans bought Bradlee a Build-a-Bear which she obviously loves. Monday night we ate dinner at Godfather's pizza.

Our "long" weekend turned out to be way too short! I don't have any pictures of Collin or Lisa. I guess that means you guys will have to come back up soon!
