month nine

My baby girl is now 9 months old!  (picture with Andrea!)  She is so much fun!  She still only weighs about 14 pounds but eats all the time!  I think its just because she is so hyper that she burns it all off!  She eats anything I give her, not picky at all!  And she is really good at feeding herself... with a big fat mess to clean up afterward, but she is so happy.  She is very busy during the day, taking just one short nap during the day, making it hard to get much done but she does sleep well at night!  She is suddenly no fun to take to church, or anywhere public for that matter, where she can not get down and move!  She has figured out the stairs, thanks to daddy's discovery, but up only for now!  She loves to be held in Ryan's hand and she stands there for the longest time.  We keep bringing out new toys from the boys to keep her entertained, and me and Ryan joke that we swear she doesn't like toys, she would much rather ripe apart a magazine or pull out all our DVDs.  Needless to say, we have no wrapped presents under the tree, for now.  She loves to play with her brothers, Zane can make her laugh by just looking at her, maybe because he doesn't usually give her much attention, so she tries hard for the hard to get...typical girl.  Noah is always picking her up and carrying her around, he even dropped her on her face on the tile floor the other day.  We all love having her in our family and I especially love that I get to dress up my baby doll each day and play house.

Christmas fun

{a fun party with my fun friends}
Melissa had us all over for a yummy lunch, good conversation, and to make these hats. headbands and wrist warmers!  Don't we look cute?  Love my friends!
and look at all of our boys!  Conveniently, Zane & Noah brought Hot wheels to share for Christmas!


{some serious sledding}
with Zaners



{school activity day & program}

Noah had his school program, performing carols, he did really good and was really cute!  I got to go help in his class for their christmas activity day, talk about craft overload...and if anyone has taken their kid to funshine they understand, but it was really fun to be there with him.  He brought home this gift to Ryan and I, a cook book of class recipes, how adorable is Noah!?!





{Couples Christmas Party}
Ryan and I got to go to super fun party with some friends, we had dinner, play some hilarious games including the newlywed game, which Ryan and I rock at, there was a white elephant gift exchange involving lots of laughs and we got to build gingerbread houses together as a couple, it was so fun!  And probably the only time we would ever do that together so I really enjoyed it!
by the way...the gingerbread house only lasted one day with my 3 boys!


{Brady Family Christmas Party}




{Festival of Trees}

my favorite gingerbread house at the whole festival!  The house from "Up" the most adorable movie!




{family night}
We were invited to go late night sledding with Josh & Rakelly family for family night and had hot chocolate after with a VERY entertaining reenactment of the Nativity!

Christmas in the Village

Our family & some other little kid!?!
Annie & Noah
Grandma & Bella
Zane, Zane, oh so cute in his Christmas school performance!  We enjoyed the fun Christmas party and the carols of the kids.  It was fun!  Good job Zaners!
Santa Claus was coming to down in the fire truck down main street!  The boys took their lists and folded them up into envelops and were excited to take them to Santa!  We waited at the downtown park as Santa pulled up in the fire truck and came out to join the children, Zane quickly got his list out of my purse and waited patiently to hand it to him right then, I guess not realizing he would get the chance to sit on his lap later.  

All the kids gathered around as Santa knelt down and opened his list right there to see what was on it... It was really sweet!  They then followed him to the Library where they got the chance to sit on his lap and tell him (again) what they wanted for Christmas.  I was excited to see how Bella would react to Santa, and she could have cared less.  The boys asked for (RANDOMLY) zane: a diego backpack. noah: a mickey mouse clubhouse train.  Nothing the real Santa was planning to get!

date night with my hubby

Mark & Stephanie invited us to the Jazz game, VIP style, with dinner in the sports club before and great seats.  We had a lot of fun!  I even wore my Kyle Korver shirt, excited to watch, then Ryan let me know he was injured and not playing.  They won and it was a good time.
