Dance Performance!

Jade and her best friend Taytem have been in a dance class this year it was really fun! For the end of the year performance they were lady bugs and so cute. They danced at Pope Joy which is the musical theater here at UNM so it was a huge stage with a huge audience so I thought she would be scared but she did really good and looked so precious up there!
Jade got a dozen roses from her mom and dad we have discovered flowers are one of her favorite gifts (she is definantly all girl!)

Pretty girls! Jade is the one with the head band on, we get a lot of people that think Jade and Taytem look a lot alike.

Balloon Fiesta!

Yes we are still alive I know I haven't updated our blog in so long, and it really has been on my mind but it seems like the farther I get behind the less motivation I have. It seems like so much work and I don't know where to start! So I decided to just kindof go back and forth between now and over the summer until I get all caught up! I am determined to get all caught up before the baby comes so we may have quite a few posts for the next little while!

This year was not very cold at the balloon Fiesta. Usually we are covered from head to toe to try to keep warm so it was nice to have some nice weather.

I really don't like takeing pictures of me pregnant but oh well! We Just love going to the balloon Fiesta and Jade thinks it is so neat we wake her up in the dark to go that is her favorite part!

Grandma Malarsie and Jade heading out to see what cool balloons they could find.

It took a little while for Brody to come around he was a little cranky, could be because we had to wake him up so early, but he was amazed by all of the balloons!

Cam's favorite balloon!

Lots of people would stop and stare at Grandpa Malarsie the horns looks so real! He over sees the balloonist and regulates what they can and can't do so the all get a kick out of the horns! Thanks to grandpa for the tickets for the food tent we were able to eat a yummy dinner and just sit in the warmth and watch the balloon glow and fireworks!

Happy St. Patricks Day

We had a fun St. Patricks Day! Jade and Daddy built a Leprechaun trap, she was determined to stay up all night so she could catch one ( but fell right to sleep at 8:00!)
In the morning the trap had been sprung but no Leprechauns :( They did leave her a cute little poem (thanks to grandpa Malarsie for his awesome talent!) and some fun little goodies!

Her and Brody were the most excited about the paper clovers, so funny you never know what will be the hit!

The sneeky little guys also turned our milk and eggs green! So we had a yummy green breakfast!

Happy Birthday Brody

Happy Birthday Brody! Brody turned one last week he is such a sweet boy and a blessing to our family! He has a such sweet easy going personality he especially loves to give hugs, any time we get down on the floor he will come over right away and give the biggest bear hug and say hi! It is so precious! He is walking all over and even attempts to run if Jade or the puppy's are coming. He says lots of words the funniest is when he tells the dogs to sit he points at them and says sit over and over so cute! I am sad he is already one time just goes by too fast, but I am excited too! Every day is just so fun as he grows and learns and we get to see more and more of his cute little personality!

Brody's not hard to please give him a ball and he is set!

Opening presents

Brody and mom

Jade and Taytum enjoying the cupcakes! That is some bright frosting!

Brody ate a couple bites of frosting, made a mess then had had enough! I was surprised he even did that he doesn't like his hands sticky so I wasn't sure what would happen!

After the frosting mess he just hung out in a diaper!

Thank you mom for making Jade this cute outfit she looked adorable and loved wearing hearts to school!

A little Daddy love on Valentines Day!

Jade worked hard to make some awesome cookies! Which she made sure were saved for her Daddy!

Some of Jade's friends at school. Dakota, Jade ,Grace, and Will decorating cookies.

We went as a family with a few of our friends and Jade's BFF Tatum to the circus on Valentines! We had a blast the girls got there faces painted like butterflies, they looked beautiful! We got to see clowns trapeze artists, elephants, bears, pony's, motorcyclist ride in the ring of doom and even a man shoot out of a canon! We couldn't have asked for a better Valentines Day!

Jade was so proud of her painted face!

The family except Brody he was napping at grandma's he will get to come next year!

Best buddies we tried to get them to paint there faces different! But they said then we won't look alike we like to look like twins!

Road trip with Daddy

We got to go with Cam this week on his business trip! He just usually goes over night so it is a nice little get away for all of us! Jade loves to go because she loves to stay in a hotel and also loves the pool! Thanks Daddy for letting us come enjoy a little get away with you!


Brody loves the water too! He loves to climb out then jump in to me over and over!

Fun times!

Jade and Logan have gotten pretty good and driving the hummer! Last year we would have to run along side of them because they would drive right off the curb. They pretty much have the hang of it now! They turn on the little radio and dance while they drive, that's what Logan is doing in the picture while Jade takes her driving job seriously with two hands on the wheel!

Bath time! Brody loves to take a bath so when he saw the bath filling up he was right in there to make sure he was included!

Addy and Brody are so cute together. They are still trying to figure each other out. Brody takes all of her toys. And likes to take her Binky out of her mouth then put it back over and over Addy is not a big fan of that game!

Jade and Logan having a picnic in our backyard. When I asked Logan why he was laying down he said "the blanket was warm he was just relaxing" he better watch out though because Brody is coming for his food!

There is a place in town for kids to fish so we decided to try it out. Fishing was fun! Even though no fish were caught, everyone had a great time just enjoying Albuquerque's fabulous weather.

Jade and Logan love to watch movies together at night. And we were so ready for them to relax by then we loved movie time too! They look so cozy :)
