Phone Pictures

I was going through my phone and these were some super cute pictures I found to share with you, yes, all 2 of you who read this:)Princess Brilee at 2 hours old, she was gorgeous right from the start!
This is Brilee at 2 months, she is all dressed up for her cousin Maddi's 8th birthday party
Here is Brennar over Thanksgiving, it was SUPER cold in Billings when we were there.
Brilee modeling a hat a friend of mine made for her, adorable!
Brilee modeling the outfit Auntie Liz and Uncle B gave her for Christmas
Both the kids modeling the outfits Uncle Shann and Auntie Ericka gave them for Christmas, Go Falcons!!! (not sure if you can tell, but the kids hate modeling and taking pictures for me!!!)
Brennar on his new Thomas the Train, train from my cousin Adam, and his family, Danielle and Kinsley. He LOVES it. When it came he was looking out the window and yelling to me "Thomas is here, Thomas is here, Thomas is here!!!" Super cute

My babies are getting so BIG!!!

I'll start out with the kids' doctor appointments:

Brennar: 25 lbs 14oz (24%) and 37 1/4 inches(99%)
Brilee: 15lbs 13oz (79%) and 26 1/2 inches (99%)
so that being said, I think my kids are really short:)

Both are doing great! The doctor said she would be happy if a 3 year old was talking as good as Brennar, yay!!! She said both kids look perfect, duh, I could have told her that:)

Here are the latest and greatest photos, of my two "perfect" (her words, not mine) kids...
I just love getting to put bows and headbands in her hair!

She looks so serious here, it is a rare occasion for her not to be smiling anymore, but just look at those eyes!



This is what I get when Brennar is playing and I tell him to smile for the camera:)


Brennar actually held on to Brilee down the slide (with a little help) and they both were grinning at the bottom



See, what did I tell you?????



This is NOT his smile at all, but I can think of a picture of me where I am smiling exactly the same way, so I got a little laugh out of it:)



Happy girl!


Mommy and her beautiful babies:)



I wish I wouldn't have got any of the rug in this picture and just her blanket, I love how bright all the colors are


Brennar has a chocolate mouth like this, every day, not even kidding, it is the one thing he asks to eat, so of course, I let him



Pretty little sister



Bath time!!!



How cute it this?????


We have had a great couple of weeks, minus a little puking. All our activities have started back up. We are super busy again, but it is nice to have things to do that get us out of the house. Some other super news, is that we get to go back to Hawaii for our family vacation, yay!!! Can't wait!! That's about it for now, from the Stapps:)

Brennar turns 2!!!

Unfortunately, my "baby" boy just turned 2:( tear. But, we did have a great time celebrating it. We just had a small party at our house this year, with both sets of Grampas and Gramas, Maddi and Drew and Brion (Liz wasn't feeling well) and Brennar's best little buddies Zac and Eli. I think Brennar had a great time!! He LOVES every single person who was there (and Auntie Liz, too!!) so so much. Guess the two two year olds didn't get the group picture concept:)



Here either!





Brilee and her favorite girl cousin, Brilee is a little bit of a mama's girl, but loved Madeline!



Brennar isn't much of an eater, so instead of a cake we made cake pops. They didn't turn out quite like I was hoping, but they were delish, and Brennar loved them. I think he took a little nibble out of at least ten, then would hand them to whoever was closest:)




Here he is blowing out his #2 birthday candle, he actually blew it out himself, too!



Brennar has a thing for Maddi, too!



Luckily for him, Maddi and Drew helped open his presents, he still wasn't much into doing it himself yet, but he sure liked what came inside them



Grama and Tampa (not sure why he says Tampa for Grampa since he says Grama clear as day!) Koepp give him this cowboy hat, he loves hats, he walks around the house with one on at least once a day




Eli and Zac gave him this horse, went perfect with his cowboy hat:) They have one of these at their house and Brennar loves to play on it whenever he is there.






Uncle B showed him how the singing Elmo works. They gave him the piano and microphone, too, so now he has his very own band, and he honestly plays with them as a band, super cute!





Just had to throw this picture in! Even though he is a big 2 year old, he still loves his mommy!! Not sure if you could tell, but the feeling is mutual:)



Did I mention, Brennar loves Maddi????



He patiently waited for daddy to put together this Thomas Train track, it was so adorable seeing them on the floor working together!








On Sprout, it is a TV station with 24 hour a day shows intended just for preschoolers, they announce birthdays every day. So, if you send in a card, you have chance to have it read on TV, so this is the one I made him. I thought I was pretty creative:) AND..... it was on TV!!! They read it and said a big Happy Birthday to Brennar!! So cool, this mama was pretty excited, maybe even more than the birthday boy:)





I also want to say a BIG thank you to everyone who made this day so special for him. I have felt guilty since he was born that everyone would skip over his birthday because it is so close to Christmas, or combine gifts, and that didn't happen! We love each and every one of you, so much!!
