For Thanksgiving we went to St. George with the Olson clan, which was a lot of fun. We then went to Las Vegas. Me and Ryan took Brayden to the strip and watched the volcano and water show. But I think the most shocking thing I saw on the strip was this...........
Do they really need to be on the ENTIRE side of the casino. I don't think so.
After Ryan went back to Utah me and my mom took Brayden and Jase to the Secret Garden and also to the aquarium.
They had a baby dolphin which was so active and so cute, but apparantly I did not take pictures only video of the baby dolphin.
Mom even got up with Jase one night so I could sleep through the night and she paid for it the next day. But don't get me wrong Jase is a great sleeper, someone is just not use to having to get up in the middle of the night.
Mom had little cots at her house, which Brayden thought were so cool and he wanted to share with his brother.
Me and the boys then flew home. Both were very good on the plane, however, Brayden does not think it is important to wear his seatbelt when we land. What a rebel.
Me and the boys went Price at the first of December and we went to the good Ol' Helper Light Parade. Brayden thought it was so cool.
Robby and Allison came up one weekend to do Christmas shopping and Brayden and Alycia had fun playing in the snow.
That night me and Allison went to a movie and came home to a house full of passed out kids and husbands.
Brayden had his Christmas program at school. I was so excited for him to sing his songs. We got there and not one word came out of his mouth, nothing. The only thing I got from him was dirty looks. But then Santa came and he was able to tell him that he wanted a skateboard and a tractor that he can put a key in (like his cousin Cooper's). He would get none of these from Santa, but it does not hurt to ask.
On Christmas Eve we went bowling with Ryan's side of the family and then went to Pauli's house for dinner. We were finally able to leave Pauli's house after some bribing of Brayden because Aunt Pauli asked Brayden to sleep over and he was all for it, which is really weird for Brayden, he never wants to stay anywhere without mom or dad. He does love his Uncle Steve though. He did not quite understand that Santa was coming that night. We got home and I was trying to find the pajamas that Brayden was going to open that night. I went under the tree and there was no present. After my swift detective skills kicked in it took me no time at all to determine who my main suspect was. Brayden finally came forward with the evidence. The boys looked so cute in their pajamas. Brayden had also tried to open many other presents, but only cut holes in them to see if there was anything worth opening.
The boys were spoiled for Christmas and Brayden was quick to point out what Santa did not bring him, but he was very excited with his presents and just "loves" his golf clubs that Papa Don gave him. He asked numerous times a day if he can go golfing. I don't think he remembers anything else that he got for Christmas. Santa did bring Guitar Hero, which Brayden thinks that he is really good at.
This year has been good to us and we were so excited to add Jase to the family. Brayden is a very good big brother and me and Ryan are so lucky to have two healthy boys. Jase is getting more interactive every day and he is full of smiles. He loves to chew on our hands and his hands are soon going to be raw from him chewing on them so much. Brayden is getting smarter and smarter every day and we cannot wait for summertime when he is able to play outside. He is very excited for t-ball and soccer to start. Hopefully next year I will do better with the posting so that it is not so long.
On a side-note. I apologize for my pictures and the redeye. My new camera is on the way so hopefully that is a thing of the past.
Happy New Year Everyone.
