The First Tooth

Just a quick note that Aubree's first tooth is here.  You can only see it when looking down on her gums and you can see a line.  I can definitely feel it though.  Maybe in a few days it will be more visible.  I am so glad that is such a smiley happy girl that hasn't seem bothered by her teething. This picture is courtesy of Brigham when Holly was holding Aubree while her mom was snapping some pictures at church Sunday.

Brigham is Three!

Brigham started his birthday off breaking out of our room.      

He then made his way to the living room where he popped balloons that had dinosaurs and money in them.

For breakfast he had a stack of birthday pancakes with whipped cream on top.

His next celebration was at school.  Unfortunately you have to bring grocery store cupcakes to school so I didn't get to make any cute ones but in the end, spending $5 on mini cupcakes that lasted us all weekend was fantastic for me!  It was cheap, easy, and best of all no clean up involved! ha 

That night the four of us went to Chuck E. Cheese  That is all Brigham has talked about since going there in August for Alyssa's birthday.  We spent $5 on some tokens and after about an hour and a half  the tokens were used and we went to dinner at Ruby Tuesday.  

Saturday Mark and Brigham went to Lowes to "build" a fire truck.  We went to the Festival of India later in the afternoon and then Saturday night we went to the stake fall festival.  We told Brigham that this was all his birthday party. ha ha

On Sunday we had family dinner where Brigham had a birthday cake.  

I really wanted to have a real birthday party with lots of friends and family but our yard was just too small to have the outdoor party I envisioned and to have it at a park, we would have to pay $100 to rent a shelter.  I decided that we would just have a fun family weekend where we ate cupcakes and blew out candles any time he wanted.  We all had a lot of fun and I am so glad that we did it this way.  It also saved us a ton of money! ha ha.  We will have a big party next year (unless Brigham decides to just have a fun birthday weekend). 

Brigham's 3 Year Stats:

38"

30lbs 4oz

He has become an awesome eater.  He will eat anything and likes almost everything!  It is great having a child that would choose shrimp or salad or artichokes over Kraft Mac and Cheese.  He loves to have his picture taken and will do all kinds of silly poses.  He loves running, climbing, dinosaurs, robots, sharks, whales, basketball, rocketships, cars, volcanoes, and fire trucks.  He loves making Aubree laugh and he loves to hug and kiss her.  However, if she touches him he reacts as if he is being burned by acid. ha ha

He loves his cousins and his aunts and uncles too.  He even loves seeing Mitt Romney and Barack Obama on tv.  He even said he wanted "Barack Obama to some to my house and see my house." Brigham Loves watching telelvision and he will watch anything that is on.  He gets totally mesmerized by anything on television. He also really loves watching the music video "Gangnam Style" by the South Korean rapper Psy.  He even does the dance.  This is his favorite thing to do right now.

This is the shark that he got from Uncle Paul and Auntie Becky and he LOVES this thing!
