Under Construction

I'm trying to make changes to my blog so the blog is going to look a bit weird and unfinished for a while since I'm still learning how to use blogger...so come back soon!

Arizona Wedding

Last week Friday my brother-in-law was married in the Mesa Arizona Temple. I was SO sad to have left my camera uncharged..hence no photos of the adorable couple or Temple.
The two of them were so incredibly adorable as they emerged from the Temple doors. It got me thinking back to the day Bryan and I were married and of course it was hard for emotional me not to hold back my tears as the two of them danced their first dance together as a married couple.

I was not able to blog on our 8th Wedding Anniversary because we were still in Arizona on the 16th of November. I'm a very blessed woman to be married to the most incredible man ever. I could sit here all day and list off all of the great talents, and qualities that Bryan has, not to mention how loving of a husband and father he is to myself and our children. How blessed I am to share an eternity with him.
I love you Bryan Albee~
Happy 8th Wedding Anniversary.
xoxo~

On The Road Again...

LOVE this photo. We had family photos taken a little over a month ago and I'm so in love with them. I plan on re-vamping my blog when I get back to Utah, so this is a little sneak peak.
If you are interested our photographer Nickell is wonderful..check out her website:

On Thursday we will be leaving CA and traveling to Arizona. Celebrating a wedding and our 8th wedding anniversary! I cannot believe that Bryan and I will be celebrating 8 years on the 16th.
So here's to safe traveling!

Halloween 2010

Halloween was great!!
Brooke was Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and Brody was a dinosaur. The kids had a blast trick-or-treating, Brody tried his best to keep up with his big sister and it was so fun watching him understand what was going on. After 2 houses he knew the candy goes in the orange pumpkin bucket. It was adorable.
The kids had a blast and the day was great and was spent with both our familes and wonderful friends.

Disneyland!!!

The day before Halloween we were invited to go to Disneyland & CA Adventure. We were SO excited!! Brody spent the day with Oma and Opa while Brooke had a mommy and daddy date.We kept it a surprise from Brooke. She had no clue and we gave small hints here and there..we even listened to Disney princess music on the drive down. Brooke knew right away as soon as we exited the freeway. The girl was SO excited.
The day was perfect as was the weather. The crowds were big but we were able to get on so many fun rides, and have front row seats to the new Disney parade and fireworks show.
The day was wonderful and we tried to stay as late as possible but Brooke was out at 10:45pm so that was our cue to head home with our sleeping princess.

More Fun Stuff

Never a dull moment with these two. Yesterday I caught Brody eating dog food. Awesome. Yeah right.
Later that day Brooke proclaimed to me, and I quote,"Mommy when I grow up I'm going to run away and find my prince."
Excuse me?

Brody's hair is a bit on the wild side in the photo above, I love it. Brooke is just my girly girl....I love her sweet smile and outgoing personality.

These photo's were taken at our friend Kinglsey's 1st Birthday Party. (One was taken before the party at my parent's house.) I have to say that that was one of the best 1st birthday celebration's I have ever been to. It was so much fun and I was so happy we were able to go.

In other fun news..on Saturday the 23rd Bryan and I went to the annual Kravitz holiday party. SO MUCH FUN! I should mention Kravitz is the firm Bryan works for. This was our 5th holiday party. They did a casino theme. Everyone was given tickets for the raffle and a bag of chips to play casino games with to try to score more tickets. We did ok...the first hour before dinner we were on fire!! After dinner not so much.
SO did we win anything???? YES!! we banked all of our tickets for a 200 dollar Disney gift card and WON. We were so surprised and way excited...looks like Santa Claus will be doing a disney theme this year???
It was a great night out for us and I love visiting with the other Kravitz wives and Bryan co-workers..I only see them once a year and it's so great to see them and catch up.
We are having such a great time visiting CA and we are really looking forward to a fun Halloween!

Lombardi Ranch

No Halloween is complete without a visit to our favorite pumpkin patch. We took the kids last week to Lombardi Ranch. So, so , so much fun! Brooke and Brody had a blast. Brody was everywhere and Brooke was just so excited to be there. I love Lombardi Ranch. I love how I can go back and flip through Brooke's baby photo albums and see how much she's grown since her very first visit in 2006. Brody too. Last year he was only about 8 weeks now 14 months. Crazy how time flies!
We've had plenty of trips back. Brooke has been dying to do the pony ride, hopefully we will accomplish that on Saturday and pick out our pumpkins!
