Welcome Ellie!

Billy's sister Jamie had her baby girl, Elizabeth Sally (Ellie) on the 10th. I am really excited for her and Landon to grow up together. It has been fun going through our pregnancies together- even though I looked huge compared to her!

Jamie is really into decorating for Christmas, so while she was lighting the christmas tree, she decided to light up Ellie for the holidays as well! Okay, really it is a light to help get rid of the jaundice. Hopefully it works quickly so they can "unplug" my sweet little niece.

That was your due date wasn't it? Tell Jaime she picked an awesome name, but beware all the Ellie's I know are free spirits.

Wow, how that brings back memories of Rachel when we brought her home. I hope she gets off the lights soon. Having cousins close is so fun! I love having my sister and her daughter so near us.

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

You can take the girl out of the country, but....

 ....you can't take the country out of the girl. My parents' have pretty much the coolest place to visit...well, besides the beach or Disneyland... so we always have fun going back home to the farm.  Grandma Marie Bramwell- 89 years old!  Double Rainbow! Sunset over the Snake River  The only reason he is wearing a helmet is because he had to for his scouting belt loop.  We had to fudge a little bit- it's his bike helmet.  Billy has learned a thing or two from me :)

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
