It's a Boy!

Just an update on the newest member of our family... His name is Martin DX1, and he is finally home, resting comfortably in Justin's studio. He slept through the night last night, but was up bright and early this morning, obviously wanting Justin to play with him. :) He sure is cute, isn't he?

Let's compare it with one of Tele's baby pictures...

Not much resemblance, huh?

This last weekend we went to Phoenix and had a blast! We went to lunch with Cara, Kiri and their Justins (haha), had a barbecue with most of the Corndog Club members, and went to the blessing of Klint and Corinne's new baby, Alex. The weather was fabulous! We could get used to short sleeves again... Thanks again to Cara and Justin for letting us stay with you! It was great! By-the-way, Carly and Brett, we missed you! I hope you guys can come next time!

On a side note, Britt did extremely well the whole trip! Not a single accident! It was nice not having to find a bathroom every time he needed to go, that boy loves to pee-pee on trees!

Happy Birthday G.I. Beau!

Even though he won't see this for a few months (he's in basic training right now), I just want to wish my big brother Beau a happy birthday! I put most of the mushy stuff in the post I did last week about him, so I'll just make this one short. I did have a super cute video of Britt singing happy birthday and saying that Beau "lives in AHH-meee" now, but I couldn't get it to work on here. Oh well... Happy birthday anyway, Beau!


Britt and Uncle Beau...shortly before Britt's first birthday.

Ah, yes...the beard Justin has always wanted to grow... :)

If you want to check it out, Brooke's blog today has some wonderful childhood memories about Beau :)

How To Feed A Toddler

Step 1:
Once child is properly secured in a high chair device, provide child with food (spaghetti and cottage cheese are used in this demonstration). Utensils are not required, because it's likely that the child is not hungry (thanks to Grandpa's generous serving of cookies ten minutes ago) and will not actually eat.



Step 2:
After 80% of the child's dinner has made its way to the floor and Mommy's hair, it's time to wash the child. To do this, simply place child in jacuzzi tub half-full of warm water, add bubbles and turn on the jets. Now sit back as the 'massaging jets' do the hard scrubbing.




Step 3:
Dry child, then clothe. It's now time to start preparing the next meal!

Hide & Seek

Can you see him??

Boo!

Big news from a Little Dude...

Justin will probably make fun of me for posting this, especially since it hasn't even been 12 hours since it happened...but I think it's the cutest thing ever!

Last night we were at Justin's Mom and Dad's house. I was in their room, talking to Jordan's girlfriend, Kaitlynn, and then Jordan and Britt walked in. Jordan said, "Go give it to her, little buddy." (as he sometimes calls Britt 'little buddy'...in a sarcastic undertone) So Britt walked up to Kaitlynn and handed her a note and a box... The note said, "Will you marry my Uncle Jordan?" and, of course, the box had a ring inside. So, Britt proposed to his first lady last night! Well...sort of. Anyway, we're so excited to have Kaitlynn be a Brimhall! :) She already feels like a sister to me! I'm so glad Jordan had Britt do his dirty work, it sure made for a good blog post!

The future Mr. & Mrs. Brimhall...
in a few more years, Dr. & Mrs. Brimhall!

Britt is yelling in my ear, "HEY! Door an Kaykeek!"



Finally, a picture from our Brimhall family vacation last summer...we already considered Kait a part of the gang!
