We welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Beckett Maximus, on December 8th 2013 at 6:54 p.m. in Boston, Massachusetts. Both of us, as I'm sure happens with lots of parents, were concerned about loving another one as much as we love our Brynna. We worried for nothing. As soon as we saw him we were overwhelmingly in love. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had no problem conceiving when I got pregnant with Brynna, but much to our surprise it was not so easy the second time around. After 2.5 years of trying, getting tested and lots of praying, we found out we were pregnant about three weeks before Shawn found out he got a new job he really wanted and we were moving to Boston! Needless to say, it's been a great year. We have met so many nice people, and our ward has been so helpful, which has been incredibly appreciated since this is the first place we have ever lived with absolutely no family around. </div>

Not only did my amazing sister come to meet her newest nephew, but helped us get organized and set up for baby Beckett. I was nauseous through my entire pregnancy with Brynna, and this pregnancy sapped me of all my energy, so I needed help!<br />

Brynna adores her baby brother, and fortunately for us is not in his face all the time. But she does sing, very loudly, when he cries, which "helps" so much :o)<br />

And our Santa picture. Brynna loves going to Bass Pro to meet Santa, and I'm always so impressed with how much they do it up. Plus they have crafts and games, we walked right up to meet him with no line (thank you paternity leave! Got to go on a weekday and not a Saturday), but then spent another hour there just playing and wandering.<br />

We are so excited to spend Christmas this year as a family of four, though we could do without the sleep deprivation and wish we could be with our families. We're so lucky my Dad is now living in Washington D.C. part time because he will be here for the third time in January and my mom will be here for the second time thank goodness!

This. Was. Amazing. As one of her birthday gifts, we signed Brynna up for The Castle Package at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo Salon at Disneyland. To say she loved it would be an understatement. And I was pretty impressed. I really thought it would be all about pushing them out to get to the next, but they took so much time with her, made sure she had everything she wanted. They kept bowing to her and calling her Princess Brynna, and they would call Shawn and I Majesty to make her feel like a Princess. She started off in the dressing room and got into her new Cinderella dress, tiara, wand and shoes, then they did her hair, nails and makeup.</div>

My husband was absolutely amazing and outdid himself this year for our anniversary. We had an amazing dinner at Ruth's Chris and got a hotel suite downtown. But best of all, we went and did the dolphin interaction at Sea World, which has been a life long dream of mine! And it was definitely worth it</div>

As Shawn put it, "I don't think I have ever been happy to see a weekend end, but I am now." We had a lot of excitement- not in a good way.<br />
<br />
First, on Friday Shawn was working late and when he was home for lunch he let our cat out in the backyard without telling me. So at 9:00 I hear cats fighting in our front yard. Awesome! Especially since we had Charlie declawed in Nebraska since he is an inside cat. When I went out to investigate Charlie was fighting not one, but two cats! Lovely. He didn't come home for about an hour after I broke up the fight, but I finally found him. Once Shawn came home we discovered he had a pretty big gash on his stomach. So Saturday morning Shawn took him to the vet and he had a 105 degree fever and had to get stitches and one of those cones on his head- and $200 later!!! Luckily apparently he was really good for the vet so they only had to give him the local anesthetic instead of complete sedation.<br />
<br />
On Saturday night we had Brady and Mallory for a sleepover. At about 2:30 in the morning we heard Brady on the monitor and couldn't figure out what it was. He was having trouble breathing! Holy cow!!! So we called nine one one and had the paramedics come. They decided he had croup and took him to the hospital. Luckily we are right by Scripps La Jolla where Cheryl works and she was able to meet him in the ER. It was so stinking pitiful!! I will never get those big brown panicked eyes out of my head! I felt so bad for him. Here he has 2 nurses as parents and he gets stuck with me who couldn't tell you the right end of the stethoscope. Of course his parents are as calm as can be and and calm him right down. I hope I live my whole life without that ever happening again!<br />
<br />
And we rounded off the weekend with Shawn almost getting hit by another car. Seriously like a half inch between the cars.<br />
<br />
I have never been so ready for the weekend to be over. Happy Monday!Shawn and Torihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766901983840775090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488002863069687627.post-61416977313346322732012-10-04T23:13:00.000-07:002012-10-04T23:13:34.549-07:00Busy Busy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have been having so much fun lately, but oh my goodness life is crazy busy!! This last year I have spent it taking Brynna to the park, Sea World, play dates and shopping. Not anymore. Now I have started college going three nights a week, Brynna is in a co-op preschool (All the parents teach different weeks), Brynna is in gymnastics and we moved about a month ago. Needless to say we are still not completely unpacked. But, Brynna is loving our new house. Previously we lived in La Jolla in an apartment on the 2nd floor, and our downstairs neighbor complained constantly if she so much as jumped out of bed, so we decided to pack it up. We found a duplex right down the freeway that has a huge front and backyard and a little girl next door who loves to play with Bryn. It's smaller than what we had, but also cheaper so I can deal with it for awhile. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not a whole lot coming up to get too excited about. Right now I am just trying to keep up with life. But I love taking time out to hang out with friends and my parents are coming for Christmas for 2 weeks which I am super excited about! We still love it when we hang out with my brothers, or even if we just get to hang with their little ones (as shown below)</div>

I really dislike summer, which I know to most people makes me a freak, but I do. I hate heat (would rather be cold), I hate crowds and I am not outdoorsy so it really doesn't hold a lot of appeal for me. However, there are 2 things summer has that gets me through those months relatively happy. Watermelon and Summer Nights at Sea World. I cannot count the number of times I went to Summer Nights this year. It was magical. I still cannot explain it, but I totally cry at the Shamu show. Literally have no idea why, and Shawn just sits there and laughs at me. I really can't blame him. I laugh at myself when I feel the emotions coming. But there you have it. My dirty little secret. Feel free to mock me.<br />

This week was my first week hosting co-op preschool (on top of all my homework and two separate tests. Awesome). But it went really well, especially the second day, and all the girls are so well behaved it's kind of shocking. We had fun and I am learning the best way to structure things. This is her little class and they are all awesome girls! And I am so grateful to the other moms for letting me stay in the preschool, even though I moved farther away.<br /><br />Shawn and Torihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766901983840775090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488002863069687627.post-45542406386562196122012-08-06T12:38:00.000-07:002012-08-06T12:38:55.914-07:00VacationIn mid-July we went on an awesome vacation with both of my brother's families and two of my nieces that flew out from Nebraska to experience the awesomeness with us.<br />

Driving through Big Sur was incredible. If I liked windy roads I would move there <br />

I willingly went camping. Shawn has always wanted to go, I am more a Marriott girl. But I figured if I had to go camping, I may as well do it with two practically professional camping families. My brothers made up for our lack and we had so much fun with them! And unfortunately for me, Brynna loved it. I mean LOVED it. I, however, took exception to the raccoons fighting outside our tent in the middle of the night. We brought a second tent for my two nieces to sleep in and they refused because of the coons. It was interesting. <br />

After a couple of days camping we drove to San Francisco which I was the most excited about. I love San Francisco. It's just so weird and has so many weird, cool, fun, interesting, odd things. I was in heaven. This is what Shawn got the most excited about to take pictures of. The Federal Reserve in San Francisco. I love him<br />

We went on a Catamarran (I have no idea if I spelled that right) and went around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate bridge. It was so much fun, but we sat on the nets at the front and got soaked! Mostly Jon, Cheryl, Brady and Mallory, so it was fun to see them take off. It was pretty cold on the water so we spent some time underneath and would come up for pictures. <br />

This was such a cool picture. This is one of the main pillars and the fog was so thick you couldn't see to the top, standing right under it or from a certain disctance. It was crazy. <br />
We had so much fun and I'm so glad I was able to go with so much family. Shawn and I definitely want to go back just us, but we love living so close to them and being able to do things like this with them. It definitely made it more fun!<br />

Why?I know this is going to sound obvious, but I really hate being sick. It's a weird concept to me because I used to love getting sick. It sounds perverse I know, but being sick growing up meant staying home from school, and being sick as an adult meant staying home from work. I always chose to see that as a good thing. But, now that I am a stay at home mom and there is nowhere I absolutely have to be, it really stinks. And on top of that, it is not just my sickness. I have to deal with baby girl sickness, which, I think we can all agree, is the most pitiful thing in the world. Now my house is a disaster, my energetic, loves to be outside baby is lethargic watching Dora all morning and I feel ridiculously lazy. I really hate that feeling.<br />Shawn and I are pretty excited, we went and bought some new running shoes (and those that have seen Shawn's old running shoes will know why this excites me :o) and I have actually gone running! I've even shocked myself. I want to sign up for a 5k this fall, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I think the last time I ran was 2001. So, once again, not getting ahead of myself, but cautiously optimistic!<br />Here are some pictures of our recent outings.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd-9mQsWl0WW8yX_t2w7L8tfjDtZoTvS07Tu3FjAiFRQQSR1kMrJwpFnPq2ThXAfJb-IBFmLP_6zA_h49dzgGj-VcQswGVSt9sFJcf-LRmOzouiC0b_-IUo44w3uztvJ0eIObYApUA6EEE/s1600/3.14.2011+268.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd-9mQsWl0WW8yX_t2w7L8tfjDtZoTvS07Tu3FjAiFRQQSR1kMrJwpFnPq2ThXAfJb-IBFmLP_6zA_h49dzgGj-VcQswGVSt9sFJcf-LRmOzouiC0b_-IUo44w3uztvJ0eIObYApUA6EEE/s320/3.14.2011+268.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719982027106461938" border="0" /></a>We go to the beach a lot, but we just got her new beach toys and she was enthralled!

I love looking back at it sometimes and seeing how much my Brynna has grown. So I am going to do better so there is more for me to look back on and enjoy.<div>We completed our move to San Diego in September and have been loving it for the most part. I never thought I would come back, but it has been so much fun to do things with Brynna that I did growing up. She absolutely loves going to the beach. She asks me if we can go everyday. (Second New Year's Resolution- take pictures of Brynna at the beach). But I think her favorite thing about San Diego is Disneyland. She is in awe that she actually gets to go see the Princess Castle and meet all the Princesses.</div><div>We have passes to Sea World and go about once a week. It is so funny to see her watch all the animals! But she thinks everything is a whale. She knows the difference, but loves Shamu the best so calls everything a whale.</div><div>I cannot believe how much she has grown up. No matter how badly I want her to be my baby, I can't deny any longer that she is her own little person- and a force to be reckoned with. While I love the fact that she doesn't let anyone push her around and she sticks to her guns, her stubbornness can make for some very interesting arguments. With a 2 year old. Yes, that is my life. But she is so compassionate and loving, and can find fun in anything!! Whenever I am sad or crying, she always tells me it's okay, gives me a big hug and kiss and gets me a band-aid to make me feel all better. Everyday I am amazed by how smart, beautiful and funny she is. Even more amazed that she came from me. (Definitely gets the brains from her Dad)</div><div>Most of my pictures are on my other computer, but here are some pictures from Christmas. She loved decorating the Christmas tree and baking cookies for Santa. Christmas is so much more fun now that we get to watch her experience it. The only flaw in our plan to get her excited about Christmas was, when we woke her up that morning, she thought Santa was going to be there and was pretty sad that he wasn't.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjduDbfRhueQoO9kFKsfw2mCVWdEC-X4XwTVKO-_9hzy2ac3h6qGDb_nFD_s66hhdISvy8XiHtMn7hgXk5zy5k2sKtUF_Xir9_vZRavW7PaSNeKtXFuANYjAZHs9flhw8XIgRgaMLU6ZVk8/s1600/12-25-2011+download+all+515.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjduDbfRhueQoO9kFKsfw2mCVWdEC-X4XwTVKO-_9hzy2ac3h6qGDb_nFD_s66hhdISvy8XiHtMn7hgXk5zy5k2sKtUF_Xir9_vZRavW7PaSNeKtXFuANYjAZHs9flhw8XIgRgaMLU6ZVk8/s320/12-25-2011+download+all+515.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708723036663180290" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi671h-XUYauOCGYTKk87er7KeA6ZMDJKlAqjsXLKPIbzZ0q7mKacubPHPguHLH1FP5zloCyWHLtVvXaO1wquFX3k-p8ZpRp0Es17iwTClLnRQzh8p-V1OfI76slWrrQ_bpoazQxOtk9l4f/s1600/12-25-2011+download+all+501.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi671h-XUYauOCGYTKk87er7KeA6ZMDJKlAqjsXLKPIbzZ0q7mKacubPHPguHLH1FP5zloCyWHLtVvXaO1wquFX3k-p8ZpRp0Es17iwTClLnRQzh8p-V1OfI76slWrrQ_bpoazQxOtk9l4f/s320/12-25-2011+download+all+501.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708723033648286770" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHGyp6x8GfMg8xzcchzTJj-nzmu8q4K076VTXRuBBcaZbfbgI03-VIzJzp5ROgQZI-HfSc1NeA4FjfosPdL9mIcXnbCdwmjX4ntQGoCPNEQI9a4AAEU9s9jZHzRVtavICd3UvgSMBRldtT/s1600/12-25-2011+download+all+494.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHGyp6x8GfMg8xzcchzTJj-nzmu8q4K076VTXRuBBcaZbfbgI03-VIzJzp5ROgQZI-HfSc1NeA4FjfosPdL9mIcXnbCdwmjX4ntQGoCPNEQI9a4AAEU9s9jZHzRVtavICd3UvgSMBRldtT/s320/12-25-2011+download+all+494.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708723018468537330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_oIV1vjnWRZ4kkSck4P5OBr8DGvr5MUTSvdovf0h3DsIIULdiEzFZlgO157VjP8Nf-z6Uxg9xL1kGMAGo2OQEygZ0bveGFcuTkLvxlO7quVkTYYTplIAEIJten4FM1nlnBZYHKNh4tIS/s1600/12-25-2011+download+all+447.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_oIV1vjnWRZ4kkSck4P5OBr8DGvr5MUTSvdovf0h3DsIIULdiEzFZlgO157VjP8Nf-z6Uxg9xL1kGMAGo2OQEygZ0bveGFcuTkLvxlO7quVkTYYTplIAEIJten4FM1nlnBZYHKNh4tIS/s320/12-25-2011+download+all+447.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708723008340538018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9yY09y1gFZb1-xV6ipjBMCwZu_tVJvD5uvnEm-H-Vaw2ZsomZCiPBDB49hfC9mJx8qTAiotDpEpNmxe9EWH26eYlonVkaGhG0ZVVzzBSLnUcbdfF93TKhLnN1E7uy_a_-E2GDxD1HsYMQ/s1600/12-25-2011+download+all+423.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9yY09y1gFZb1-xV6ipjBMCwZu_tVJvD5uvnEm-H-Vaw2ZsomZCiPBDB49hfC9mJx8qTAiotDpEpNmxe9EWH26eYlonVkaGhG0ZVVzzBSLnUcbdfF93TKhLnN1E7uy_a_-E2GDxD1HsYMQ/s320/12-25-2011+download+all+423.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708723003231011906" /></a>Shawn and Torihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766901983840775090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488002863069687627.post-23728007503259302452011-10-27T14:57:00.006-07:002011-10-27T15:24:50.787-07:00Disneyland October 2011Yesterday we went to Disneyland for Brynna's very first trip. She had so much fun and when she first saw the castle she let out a load "Wow!" It was so cute. We met her three favorite Disney characters Mickey, Minnie and Tinkerbell. Most mornings are spent with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while she eats breakfast and mommy gets ready for the day so she was so excited to meet Mickey, she ran in and gave him a big hug! And me and Shawn deserve Mom and Dad of the year awards since we waited in line an hour and a half to meet him<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFRJ5DTQK5q0s8CIwxjx-GXSMlZICiI-pkuH9PBm8OduNYMnIt9Ogz08VIUwVj8nkJaginptryeELzPWl8r46n-b4aSly29bY7XTXebtLu3den-NUlqWCU5sGPMf0U4XNDiNhNqjNWR9k/s1600/Disneyland+2011+197.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFRJ5DTQK5q0s8CIwxjx-GXSMlZICiI-pkuH9PBm8OduNYMnIt9Ogz08VIUwVj8nkJaginptryeELzPWl8r46n-b4aSly29bY7XTXebtLu3den-NUlqWCU5sGPMf0U4XNDiNhNqjNWR9k/s320/Disneyland+2011+197.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668296747686924386" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUhQHn2vufOSclniaZPWTObQ616cquWMCSdexQeJWL-Sa4Pa1Xv9naOToh8xcvNl8iM8dkUwvxccl2uJiAob9xo3CTrBBZgngpi7Fuwfu0tObA-eZ8xyJERLZ1VBXjKxgjBXR8_ZltfGpi/s1600/Disneyland+2011+196.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUhQHn2vufOSclniaZPWTObQ616cquWMCSdexQeJWL-Sa4Pa1Xv9naOToh8xcvNl8iM8dkUwvxccl2uJiAob9xo3CTrBBZgngpi7Fuwfu0tObA-eZ8xyJERLZ1VBXjKxgjBXR8_ZltfGpi/s320/Disneyland+2011+196.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668296745095619346" border="0" /></a>She woke up this morning and told me she gave Mickey a big hug- so at least it was memorable for her too!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4700o8JmVQ_Xpe3DHvtVbOIDGU40_wHkwXAc-JxMHZ04KQKKp0u5N2m__NpT1px3wbAqtESrd0JKgldKhP__H1G7J_36czCHXnUXkH3C7Gsgb-ffAgt9JBMsE3icMX6d9t22bgjpV-sv/s1600/Disneyland+2011+152.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4700o8JmVQ_Xpe3DHvtVbOIDGU40_wHkwXAc-JxMHZ04KQKKp0u5N2m__NpT1px3wbAqtESrd0JKgldKhP__H1G7J_36czCHXnUXkH3C7Gsgb-ffAgt9JBMsE3icMX6d9t22bgjpV-sv/s320/Disneyland+2011+152.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668296232863209490" border="0" /></a>We also got to go through Minnie's house and she absolutely loved the kitchen- we couldn't get her out.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3X01I_C_vr4ojP1LpOKzGoP7WQH3DA1F78Ub6pw6udxtOfbC2URuq1-SXhyphenhyphenolPO9ol5illDUv-YEtiUEVZ4MhjQofE9flcKkBcdvtjmCO0Am-h6uJEBTAnaIQfh7Qlj9EB-BVPbwiZTgR/s1600/Disneyland+2011+138.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3X01I_C_vr4ojP1LpOKzGoP7WQH3DA1F78Ub6pw6udxtOfbC2URuq1-SXhyphenhyphenolPO9ol5illDUv-YEtiUEVZ4MhjQofE9flcKkBcdvtjmCO0Am-h6uJEBTAnaIQfh7Qlj9EB-BVPbwiZTgR/s320/Disneyland+2011+138.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668296226058764450" border="0" /></a>She loves to spin so was loving the teacups<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFIObgCB67jhtQ_GupRWfdPSxVzDg9JoHE-3frlFtZFfm-W60R6sv5SELj2Ry6_FJ_RIkvoHf8KJDHiQA-mmpwCD8IfmiROaHj4Q94enrOK7MnHfHeH4WIZGkWUjxtNrreeVhD524Ee95I/s1600/Disneyland+2011+120.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFIObgCB67jhtQ_GupRWfdPSxVzDg9JoHE-3frlFtZFfm-W60R6sv5SELj2Ry6_FJ_RIkvoHf8KJDHiQA-mmpwCD8IfmiROaHj4Q94enrOK7MnHfHeH4WIZGkWUjxtNrreeVhD524Ee95I/s320/Disneyland+2011+120.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668296220496260610" border="0" /></a>Pixie hollow.

In some ways it feels like it has flown by, but in others it seems weird that I ever had a life without him. The last three years have been more amazing than I ever thought possible, and it just gets better everyday. Through all the ups and downs there is no one I would rather spend it with.<br />Since we were married on leap year, our deal was that every four years when it was our actual anniversary we would go on a big trip. The plan is to go to Italy next year and I could not be more excited!<br />3 years ago I made the best decision of my life, and I can't wait to see what the rest of our life brings!Shawn and Torihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766901983840775090noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488002863069687627.post-61009720430015375462011-01-31T18:59:00.005-08:002011-01-31T19:20:33.748-08:00MexicoEarly in January Shawn and I, along with my sister Alycia and Greg all went to Riviera Maya Mexico to celebrate them graduating with their Master's and it was amazing!!!!

I absolutely love Christmas and am so excited that Brynna is old enough this year to be excited to wake up and open gifts- already she loves the Christmas tree- and taking off the ornaments!'<br />Shawn graduates with his masters on December 17th and I am so proud of him! This year has been especially grueling for him so I am really excited that he will finally be done and able to relax!<br />On January 5th, my sister and I and both our husbands are going to Mexico to celebrate our husbands graduating (they graduate the same day) and I think Alycia is literally going to have a heart attach from excitement. She will randomly call me at work and scream that we are going to Mexico. This should be interesting!<br />Shawn and I are so blessed. We have amazing family all around us- I don't know what I would do without them, a gorgeous home, and a beautiful, healthy baby girl that makes us laugh everyday. I always have big hopes for each new year, wanting it to be just a little better than the last. So hopefully, next year will be spectacular!Shawn and Torihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02766901983840775090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488002863069687627.post-69008166993343791742010-11-01T18:08:00.005-07:002010-11-01T18:20:34.904-07:00HallloweenWe had the cutest little pink pirate for Halloween. She was so good and let me paint her nails (although it went against everything I believe in to paint them black). And of course, she loves putting on makeup so loved all the glitter on her eyes and cheeks. She only cried at the first 2 houses and then she figured out the candy thing and was off!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsKsohUSCLm9q4iezgpGj-fhlpFNqoxs8TyB1v7_3ke0TD4VDc3FtVPBpt81bDNbhzrI32lXOWKx2L6rrbodTGzoAvJidERWSgtir1zJ5orTVQCodvV2KGBARqTL74KWhrgMn0RlWTEzS/s1600/Halloween+223.JPG"><img style="display: block;

She is the ultimate girly girl but loves dirt and being outside. She found the use of the word "no" and just recently she had her first little temper tantrum! But she also loves giving hugs and looks so freaking cute when she purses her lips to give kisses. And, I could not be prouder to say that she is just like her mama- she loves pickles! Yes pickles!She also loves to read- just like her mama too. We can't believe how much she has grown and how beautiful she is, and grows more so everyday. Anytime I am having a bad day and she smiles at me, my day gets immediately better. Shawn is such a great dad and can most usually be found getting down on the ground and playing with her (when he's not studying). I have the most perfect little family<br />Here are some pictures of our sweet princess<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7P73uHIfND-UGdQjKInw2sBceiWXs_X6kc6W6yrWsINN66CWP6nh8_kUJRCh1LrsrKuCjGlk5W5XGeVjCiU8k-egQPIlo4TfuRRAX8TyhFUruk9nDyRMeu-4yCvATa1f_I98ruZrx22e4/s1600/046.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7P73uHIfND-UGdQjKInw2sBceiWXs_X6kc6W6yrWsINN66CWP6nh8_kUJRCh1LrsrKuCjGlk5W5XGeVjCiU8k-egQPIlo4TfuRRAX8TyhFUruk9nDyRMeu-4yCvATa1f_I98ruZrx22e4/s320/046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534752406157170194" border="0" /></a>We got a new kitty, which Brynna loves.

Shawn is getting ready to start his last semester of his master's in August and took his CFA test in June, (which we get the results for next week!) For some reason, we decided to build a patio and finish our basement to add some more fun. I started a new job in March which I am loving- I love actually liking my job! Brynna is growing like a weed and coming up with something new to make us laugh everyday. We fall more and more in love with her everyday! Once Shawn finds out he passed the CFA, he can start applying for his "career" job, and we will finally know if we are moving! Which if we have to,I am hoping somewhere awesome like Boston or London. But who knows. These are just a couple pictures of lately :o)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-IOdBa_7BItL7n6Y1hSIodH2LLamhTJUxoQRap3PjXqjOPEFgdQzzO3RqVZCluy8jPAeGTepZEcIww2a-l0vSApwmToXHt5XxhlVzBx-s4OrlR1H_g6epKAWkpA7Om7jRO9gtWwmJgKi8/s1600/7.22.10+177.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-IOdBa_7BItL7n6Y1hSIodH2LLamhTJUxoQRap3PjXqjOPEFgdQzzO3RqVZCluy8jPAeGTepZEcIww2a-l0vSApwmToXHt5XxhlVzBx-s4OrlR1H_g6epKAWkpA7Om7jRO9gtWwmJgKi8/s320/7.22.10+177.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496858499094019394" border="0" /></a>I put her in a tutu and pigtails and she was loving it!

But the day after Christmas, Shawn Brynna and I, my Mom and Dad and my sister Tricia and her girls climbed in our cars and drove to Florida for a week. It was so much fun! First day was The Kennedy Space Center, then Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and then Sea World. We are so glad that we went, it really was a blast!<br /><br /><div>Brynna is truly the perfect child! We drove for 2 days, and she cried once. The first day of driving, she cried right before we got to the hotel. That's it. She is so amazing!</div><div></div><div>Here she is with Grandma trying to drive her cart.
