I finally have a full blown walker

I am so excited that Brinley is finally walking. She has been attempting to walk for a few weeks now but she finally has it down. She still falls quite a bit but she is such a trooper and just gets right back up. She use to take a few steps and fall and then just crawl to her destination. I am not a germ freak or anyting but I like her on two feet so much better than crawling. It was just so gross to have those little hands all over the floor (especially strange floors). People always said to me how lucky I was that she wasnt walking yet but my take on it is that once they crawl they are mobile and can move around fast any ways so why not have them upright. I cant believe she is getting so old and big. I guess she is almost 17 months so it is about time.

Happy St Patricks Day

I think St Patricks Day is a fun Holiday. I dont know why only some people dress in green. I felt a little out of place when we were at the store with us all decked out in green. It is the fun little things that the kids just love to get involved with. I felt bad for those other kids whos parents didnt put them in green. Karson had a party the day before at Preschool. He was really into it. We had to make Green pudding. He wanted to decorate the house but I didnt have anything so I kind of felt bad. Next year I will have to go a little more crazy.

Good thing shes cute

I dont know why people love the baby stage. I think it is the hardest thing you could ever go thru. Brinley is in to everything. She is like a little tornado. She makes the biggest messes everywhere she goes. I cant wait for her naps every day. She is still taking two naps and I know she needs to move to one nap but I just cant give up that time for my sake. I dont know if it is just a girl thing but I cant believe how busy and curious she is. Karson was never like this. Maybe it was because I was working full time but I dont think that is the case. Karson never got into all of the drawers and cuboards and anything else he could reach. Brinley is also going thru a stage where she cries if I walk out of her sight. It is so exhausting. At night I just crash because she has taken everything out of me. I cant wait until she can start to talk and communicate with me and also mind a little better. It is just a good thing that she is so stinking cute.

Hot Dogs

I just have to say how much I love a great hot dog. I have been feeding Brinley hot dogs for lunch now and then and I forgot how great they were. I eat what ever is leftover from what she eats and I just cant believe how great they are. I know that people say that they are made from really nasty parts of the cow and pig and such but I really dont care. They taste good and that is all I care about. In fact, just writing this is really making me hungry for one.

Christmas afternoon at the Rhees's

We always go over to my parents house on Christmas afternoon. It was great this year because everyone was there this year.


This is all of the grand kids. Ryan has 5 kids and the rest of us have 2. 13 total.

Here is Karson and Benson playing video games. There is nothing else that Karson would rather do then to play video games. Especially with an older cousin.

Here is Brinley and her cousin Kate. She lives in Colorado Springs so they dont get to see each other much. Kate is such a doll. Any time I would walk out of the room she would always ask, Where is Karrie.

This is Jason and my brothers Reggie, Rhett, Randy and my nephew Benson.

Christmas morning

Karson was so excited for Christmas morning to finally be here. It was wierd because we actually had to go and wake him up at 7:45 to start the present opening. He loved every minute of it and actually ended up opening all of our presents for us since he loved it so much and we all didnt care. We were alone this year. Jasons parents were going to come down and be with us on Christmas eve and Christmas morning but due to the bad weather they decided not to. It was kind of wierd with just our little family but I really had a great time. It was a great Christmas.

Wight Christmas party

We have a big Christmas party every year up at Jasons parents house. Jasons sister Diana cooked us Cafe Rio food and it was delecious. The kids have a blast playing together. They all get to open one present. Then the adults do a white elephant gift. It was a lot of fun.

Pre Christmas

The kids were getting so excited for Christmas to come. Karson couldnt wait to get out and play in the snow when we got a lot of it. Of course he didnt last that long.

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went up to Brigham City to Grandma and Grandpa Wights. It was really fun. There was Jasons brother Chris and his family that were there.
