Good Morning My Valentine

Last night Bristol and I snuck out to go shopping and we came home with a balloon and treat for daddy. We hid it in the car for him to find this morning on his way to work. He text us back saying it was a nice surprise and wished us a happy valentines day :)
And after we got ready for the day today I surprised Bristol with a valentine goodie bag....I think her favorite part was the lip gloss...heres a pic of her holding it so tight in her hands you can't even see it :)

Happy Valentines everyone!

Bryton Reed Nemrow

Bryton has been growing so fast.... He is now almost 5 months and is already wearing 6 month size clothes.
Some of his favorite foods are carrots, apples, and sweet potatoes. I can't believe how much he loves food. It's so different from Bristol who wouldn't eat anything tell 18 months.
Here are some pics...

Girls day out

Bristol and I had so much fun at GLAM GIRLS this afternoon...We made a valentines craft, had some yummy cup cakes, stood in line to get Bristol's face painted. She was so excighted...the lady painted her face like Minny Mouse :)
Bristol also got her very first manicure done. And while all these fun things were going on Princess Arora and Cinderella made an appearance... Bristol was so excited, it was hard to keep her away from the princesses (she kept talking their ears off :) lol
It was so fun, her friends Leah and Brooke were there with her also. I can't wait tell we go back for a princess tea party.
Her are some pics from the day:

Happy birthday Bristol

 My baby turned 3 today...we just got done throwing her a fun party with most of her friends from primary and nursery. We had so much fun trying to toss the horse shoe on the pole, coloring toy story 3 pages, and just playing all together.
I made my first two tiered cake...
We had pizza for everyone and brownie pops to snake on before cake. It was great!
There was such great turnout with "friends" for Bristol...all day she kept saying "I want my friends" I was so glad she was able to have an evening full of none stop playing with her friends :)
I do have to say...Bristol makes one great "Jessie" :)

Here are some birthday funnies:
Landon blowing out Bristols birthday candle twice :)
Abby and Vivian bringing all the toys from Bristols room and stuffing them into her princess castle...
Aaron and others holding Bryton...that poor baby didn't get any attention from mommy :(
Bristols huge mess opening presents...And all the kids ooooing and awing every time she opened a gift :)

My Big Girl

My little girl is no longer little anymore....this last Sunday she started primary as a Sunbeam. And today we took her to Scandia and she road her first roller coaster all by her self (she was tall enough to ride alone)

It has been the best adventure yet raising Bristol...she has been and will always be a blessing in my life. I have gone through so many emotions as a new parent from happy to anxiety high stress levels. I will never forget what it was like to hold her in my arms for the first time and seeing just how fragile she was...I didn't want anything to hurt her.
I wouldn't say I was an ultra protective momma but when it came to taking her to the park...let's just say my anxieties were very high. And just before the new year I took her to the park and for the first time I wasn't afraid to let her play by herself on the gym. (I used to be afraid she would fall off the slides or out the holes on the top of the jungle guy)

This is going to be a great new year full of new adventures for Bristol and me. I can't wait :)

Happy New Year 2012!!!

Here are some pics of the night...waiting for the new year to start...

Christmas Time

This Christmas we had my mom, brother Brett,& my aunt MaryAnn...over to spend Christmas Eve and Day with us this year. I haven't had my mom and brother over for a couple years now so it was great that they were able to come out to see my family this year.

Our house was full but I wouldn't have it any other way :)

First we celebrated Kyle's 27th Birthday on Christmas Eve morning

Before the Christmas Eve party at Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bob's...mom was having fun taking pics of everyon

We also couldn't resist getting photage of Brett sewing...lol



Here we are at Christmas Eve waiting for Elven the Elf to come...



Here comes Elven the Elf...The kids loved him...he brought lots of fun toys and presents for everyone.
Elven is Santa's helper and he decided this year to come alittle early and bring a special present to all the good
Gilrs and boys of the Nemrow & Goodman Family.



Bristol wasn't to thrilled to sit on his lap...hopefully next year she'll be more comfortable

Here we are Christmas morning after church and Bristol is waiting for Daddy to check and see that Santa came :)

The next day we went spent the day at the park while the Brett and Travis played basketball

The day before my mom left to go home we went to see the lights at the La Temple.

It was so nice having my mom and brother over for the week...I hope the next trip over wont be so far away. I miss them so much.

Primary CN Ward Christmas Party

This by far has been the best idea our ward has had yet for the kids...douring the week before they gave the parents a chore chart for them to fallow and Bristol was so excited to get a sticker on her chart everytime she made her bed, brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and picked up her toys :) and all this to earn obediance bucks to shop for christmas presents for the family.
when she got to the party they had a store set up that she could go shopping....and stations set up to make ginger bread men, candy houses and lots of other fun stuff... it couldn't have been a more fun day for her :)
Thanks Young Women for setting this up :)
