Birthdays

So many Birthdays over the last month, 2 of which were "Frozen" parties.  Jocelyn's party was complete with a snowball fight, making snowmen, pinatas.  Then Emily's party with her very own Elsa!  Elsa sang, did face painting, and made snow.  Then Sophia switched it up with a Mexican Fiesta with yummy nachos, pinata, face painting, and a photo booth.  We love all our friends!

ZOO...

Love it when the animals are out.

Disneyland once Again

Since Dan's brother David works for Disney he was able to get all the Brashear's in for free for their parents 50th Wedding Anniversary.  It was one of the best trips I've had in a long time.  We saw different shows, had a scavenger hunt, and had yummy all you can eat bar-b-que.  At dinner one of the performers took Noah up on the stage, Noah didn't hesitate at all.  He got to hit the dinner bell every time the singer looked at him, it was too cute.  Dan's mom loved it and told us we'll have to remind Noah when he looks at the video that it was for their anniversary.  Noah and Grant went on the roller coaster in toon town for the first time.  I thought for sure grant wouldn't like it but he smiled the entire time.  We also went on the canoes for the first time which of course was not too exciting except for getting drenched every time Noah put his paddle in!

Power Rangers

Last year Noah was the Blue Power ranger and since he's still obsessed with Power Rangers and his favorite color is now Red he of course wanted to be the Red one.  Just my luck Grant wanted to be a Power ranger and his favorite color is blue so we got to recycle Noah's from last year!  It was a lot of fun to see Noah and his classmates in the costume parade.

Good Character

I sure am gonna miss Lakeview next year.  Noah has an awesome principal and loves learning.  He received the "Good Character Award" at school from Santa!  He was so excited and I cou;dn't be more proud.  Noah is such a sweet, kind hearted, attentive little boy.  His teacher Srta. rivera loves having him and I am so proud of him.

Christmas 2013

We had planned to take pictures in the daylight but of course ran out of time.  This years family pic was a last minute thing.  Whitney used a floor lamp and the boys were tired but I think it turned out ok!

Mrs. Patty always makes Christmas special.  Complete with a Christmas feast, cookie decorating, and opening presents.

The Wilckinson's were nice enough to have us over to see Santa this year.

It's always a tradition to take a picture in front of the Starlight Circle sign.  This year just flew by and no one seemed to be excited in doing the yearly traditions.  We barely got my mom to agree to make sugar cookies then no one wanted to walk Starlight circle so we all crammed into my moms car!  This was the first time we went to Seaworld and the boys got to play in the "snow" and go sledding.

Though we missed the christmas choir this year it was awesome to see the beautiful Christmas lights at the temple for family night.

Grant was so excited to go to Noah's school for some cookie decorating.

Surprise...

Dan was so sweet and surprised us with an awesome 1 night stay at a beautiful hotel in Palm Springs during Veteran's Weekend.  They had their own little water park called Spashtopia and the boys loved it.  Noah was so brave and went down the water slides repeatedly.  We hope to make this a family tradition, these boys get so excited when we stay in a hotel.
