Have you ever seen something so precious? He sure loves his papa.

This is his new "cheese" face...whenever I pull out the camera and snap a pic, this is what I get.
As you can see we were eating chocolate cake :)

This is my gingerbread house. We had bought it from costco with the intentions of putting it together as a family. Well Christmas Eve while Daddy was putting together toys I decided I might as well put the gingerbread house together. (mind you it was roughly 1:00 a.m) Now I must say for my attention span/ADD it turned out quite well! Hahaha

This is his stank eye pic! Ha ha I love this little man so much!

Christmas

My favorite time of year. Daxton was so cute. On Christmas eve he loved opening presents but when the big day came, all he cared about was his new lightening McQueen tricycle. We would hand him presents and he would just stick them in the trunk of his trike and continue on. Needless to say I opened a lot of his presents from Santa. The twinkle in his eye was unbelievable. As I brought him down the stairs I found myself welling up over the joy in his eyes. I love this little man so much. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Catch us if you can!

We have been so crazy busy lately. We just run from one place to the next! I'll start where I left off last time. Good old Rexburg Idaho. We went up to visit the Bacon family and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving. The drive up wasn't bad. Daxton actually did great. We got in, went swimming, had a great night, until Dax learned how to climb out of his pack and play. That made for an interesting night. The next day was Turkey day. Brandon and I were filling super ambitious and decided we were going to wake up early and do a 5k. Sounded good in theory. Little did we know it was going to be 9 degrees! Freezing! Ever tried to run in 9 degrees!? It was so cold I felt like my ear drums were going to burst. We ran fast. Not a whole 5k but close. It made me feel less guilty about having the pie, and the bark. Because of the previous nights experience with two hours of sleep, we decided to drive home Thanksgiving night, and I of course wanted to get back for the biggest shopping day of the year! That night we pulled in around 11:30 Dax was ZzZzZz in the back. When we went inside I couldn't help but feel like it was a bit chilly in the Bacon house...I put him to bed and ran downstairs to check the thermostat. 55 degrees was the temp in the house. Nice. Probably not a good idea to leave Daxton in his crib in 55 degree weather while trying to get over h1n1, ear infection, sinus infection, and so on. If I haven't told you that story, don't ask. Anyway B being the amazing hubby that he is slept by the fire place while Daxton and I took off to Yaya and Papa's house, so we didn't freeze. The next morning I came home to a nice 73degrees. Yep he fixed it. Who knew he was quite the handyman :) we were very happy we didn't have to pay someone to come out to fix it. And you know what it was? A dirty filter. Always change your furnace filter kids or you might freeze. That weekend I decided I was going to be super ambitious and good a Thanksgiving dinner for my family. My mom came over early to help. Pretty sure she wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting myself in to. It is a lot of work. Props to all you women out there who put that together every year! I had no idea how much went in to all of that! However it turned out great! Even the turkey was delish! I was quite proud of myself. (Picture me patting myself on the back) I don't think I'll do it again anytime soon, however I am very appreciative of my mom who does it every year ;)

Our next adventure was Scottsdale...I won't bore you with that now, but I'll be back!

Here are a few pics in random order, fro our little vaca!

This is Dax finally passing out while watching the Cowboys spank the Raiders )

Pretending to be like Daddy


Using Cookie as a pillow and pretending to sleep haha

Proud.

I am such a proud Aunt. He is perfect.

Life Changing.

Ever watched anyone give birth? GROSS some might say, WHY others would say........... SPEECHLESS. The only words I can think to even come close to describing this experience is LIFE CHANGING. Last Sunday I finally got the call. (the call I had been waiting 18 weeks, 3 days, and give or take a few hours for) The excitement, the butterflies, indescribable. Almost like I was the one going in to labor...I think it was the anticipation. It did however have slightly bad timing. I was in St. George. But only for about 6 minutes after I got the call. Flew home. Not literally but almost. I wasn't going to miss this for the world! As I was approaching cedar city I get another call. Not time. UGHHHHHH. Only a 2. a 2?! Come on Sis you got to do better than that I say to myself! I swing by Candice's house to check on her...sure enough she has that look in her eye. He is coming I just know it I kept saying. I went home and went to bed slightly disappointed, but knowing deep down he was coming.....tick tock tick tock.....2:05 a.m I get the text, and I quote " There has been a WATERFALL at the Brammer house :) ) It didn't wake me up. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!! ( that is me screaming ) I slept through the text, unbelievable. Luckily I shortly after received a call. " Didn't you get my text?! " NO!!!! I was freaking out, for a moment I thought...did I miss it? Was I to late? I jumped out of bed through on some clothes and flew out the door. This time literally haha I don't know how but I made it to the hospital in 9 minutes. You'd think I didn't know the routine of giving birth to your first child...she was still only a two when I got there. But I didn't care, the waterfall had come which meant Kade was on his way!!!!!! 8 hours and 50 minutes of waiting, and a little pushing ;) baby Kade made his entrance in to the world. Justin Kade Brammer. November 9th, 2009. 10:55 a.m 7lbs 2oz and 20 inches. Perfect. He is absolutely perfect.

LIFE CHANGING. Boom. That's it. LIFE CHANGING.

I have never in my life even imagined I would ever witness something so amazing. Thank you, thank you Candice, thank you Justin, thank you God, for letting me witness something so truly amazing. This really has been a life changing experience for me. Something I will cherish in my heart forever.

Welcome to the world Baby Kade!
