Brooklyn's Blessing

We were able to bless Brooklyn on November 27th. Brooklyn looked so sweet in her little white dress. Both of our families were able to be there and we feel so grateful that there were so many family members there for Brooklyn's special day. Chad gave her a beautiful blessing. Well at least from what I was able to hear that is. I was holding Carson on my lap and about 30 seconds into the blessing he started to throw a fit. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to hear the whole thing, but I guess that is just how it goes sometimes with a two year old who doesn't like to sit still. It was neat to be able to see all of our brothers, both our dads, and Chad's Grandpa Price participate in the circle for the blessing. We are so blessed to have so many worthy Priesthood holders in our family! After our sacrament meeting we all gathered at our house for some muffins, cinnamon rolls, and fruit. The food was delicious!-Thanks to all those that brought food to share! I think we totalled about 30 or more people were at our house that day. It was packed! But we had a great time all chatting and getting together for this event. We just love our little Brooklyn! She has been such a blessing to our little family. She our happy little girl! Love you Brooklyn!

4 Months Baby Girl!

Two

It's hard to believe that Carson is two already! Carson is such a happy little boy. He is full of life and energy. We are already finding out that 2 is a hard age sometimes where he is pushing boundaries and using his agency , but it is also such a fun age where we are noticing how much he is really growing up and learning every day. Here are some of Carson's favs:

-Loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and asks to watch it every day.

-Loves Elmo and singing "Elmo's song"

-Loves Cars

-Still obsessed with balls and loves playing with his new basketball hoop.

-Pancakes are one of his favorite foods with syrup of course

-Loves taking baths and playing in the bath tub.

-Loves giving hugs to his baby sister and constantly tells people about her. He also thinks every baby is Brooklyn.

-Loves to line things up-Balls, cars, anything

-Often drives his food on his plate making car noises.

-Loves being around kids. He usually gets so excited he can't stop laughing and can hardly stand up.

-Is obsessed with the vacuum and tries to sneak into our closet several times a day just to see it.

-Loves to sing. Favorite songs are Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, Hello song, ABC's, Elmo's Song, Head shoulders knees and toes, Popcorn Popping.

I love hearing him playing in his room singing songs that I have taught him, saying the ABC's, or counting. It's moments like those that make my heart want to burst full of love for him. He is such a sweet boy and loves to help me.

I took him to his 2 year old appointment and here are his stats:

Height: 34" 39%

Weight: 27lbs 37%

Head: 18 1/2 11%

We had a little birthday party on his actual birthday (Nov. 16th) with a couple of our friends.
He was a little confused about the whole birthday candle thing and tried to touch it a few times.

I just love this picture of him playing in Grandma Price's backyard on Thanksgiving.

The big birthday bash was held a week later with all the family. Since Carson is loving Cars right now I decided to go with a Cars theme. Carson loved having all the attention and playing with all of his cousins.

The big two year old. Love that smile! Happy Birthday Carson!
