 Our cute little family

All the Broschinskys

For Christmas this year we went up to Logan a few days before Christmas and got to see our little niece Parley get blessed. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. We of course made our famous sugar cookies and Papa Clements famous breakfast bread that everyone loved. Then on Christmas Eve we came back home. The weather was so bad it took almost 4 hours to get home.

Christmas was wonderful the kids got up at 8 am! They ran and opened there stockings and told us that Santa had eaten the cookies and left a note for them. The girls both got American girl dolls, perfume, a shoe ring holder and dress necklace holder, clothes, girl Lego's and Emily finally got her own DS.  Rodney got several star wars toys, books, bey blades, and a millennium falcon ship. Mason got a shopping cart, spider man chair, and toys. Matt got a few movies, running pants, sock and sweaters and then g.c.  Every year he returns/exchanges what I get him and he always says just get me gift cards, which I think is not fun, but this year I gave him a bunch of gift cards. Matt blew up pictures of the kids and had them framed, I love them so much, he also got me some baking things I had wanted, Taylor Swifts new c.d, a necklace holder and a cute little cupcake stand.

I am so grateful for my family. I love them so much. I am so grateful for the Savior and all that he did for me. I love this time of year, minus the cold. :)

Mason in a big boy bed

A few months ago Matt painted Emilys purple toddler bed, blue. There has been a ton of  "discussion" about when to have Mason out of the crib. Matt even installed a gate so if Mason gets out of bed he wont fall down the stairs. Right now he is at the store getting childproofing for the bathroom and the girls door. Matt has a good point he keeps trying to climb out & he is going to get hurt, it just breaks my heart, my baby is growing up.

Matt took the crib down. I know its silly but I'm super sad. We have had that crib up for the last 9 years of my life. I will never have another infant to sleep in that crib. I became a mother 9 years ago and it has been one of my greatest blessings. He is officially off of whole milk and growing up faster than I gave him permission too. Its so hard when the baby isn't a baby anymore. Lets pray he stays in his bed!

Mason is 2!

Mason really likes cookies so I made him cookie monster cupcakes for his 2nd Birthday. I thought they turned out really cute! He was scared when we turned out the lights and sang to him. He is a silly little dude!

Mason is 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Mason I cant believe you are already 2! Man how the time goes by too fast. You are a very funny boy. You always keep us on our toes. Its funny the things you do that your other siblings never did. You are such a little ham. :) We got Mason a cupcake and sang Happy Birthday to him. The first video didn't work but he kept saying, No, no in a sweet voice. He seemed to be really embarrassed. He also kept saying, "Memes birthday." He was sure it was Emily's birthday not his. He got a tool set that he loves, aunt Kirsten sent him a spider man hat and p.js, Gma Clements got him a bunch of pants and a jacket and aunt Andra got him a puzzle, book, bath toys and a cookie monster phone he loves. We are having more celebrations on Saturday when we are with Grandma and Papa Bro.

Somethings Mason says:
Happy DoDo-means Happy Birthday
Mason Mathew Bro stinky* we think this is hilarious
Daddy Mac
Mac Daddy- I'm pretty sure he is trying to say daddys name is Matt. Matt Daddy :)
He calls applesauce-Happy
A couple of days ago he brought me a can opener and a can of peas and said "peas" it was so cute
He calls teddy graham crackers-baby bears
He loves to dipdip- all of his food in anything
The night after Halloween he woke us so hungry from walking so much he kept screaming "Juice, Crackers" over and over.
He loves to say "I cute." and he is :)
He loves to sing I love to see the temple, Twinkle Twinkle little stars and the Daddy song
He loves to find Chippy our elf every morning. He says, "Chippy go?" Meaning where did Chippy go?
He loves to scream, "Wake up mom/dad." He finds this very funny
When Matt was tickling him he said, "don't daddy." we laughed so hard
Then he said, "Darn Mommy" at church. We don't know where that came from little stinker.

Mason you are growing up so fast. We love you so much. We love that you are talking more and that you have such a fun little personality. Hope you have a wonderful Birthday!

Karlee and Emily got there haircut. When Emily got home she said, "I'm so hot." I am so glad that neither of my girls have self esteem problems. :) She sure looks grown up!

Happy Birthday Karlee

 The invitations to the tea party

The Butlers :)

What a great brother to help serve the food :)

 The tea pot cake. I made the handle and spout a little big but it turned out pretty good.

 Cupcakes in tea cups

 Painting nails

Its hard to believe my little girl is 9! Where did those 9yrs go. I remember the day I found out I was pregnant with her. I even called the number on the box just to hear a recorded voice say to me that I was pregnant. It was one of the happiest days of my life. When I was pregnant with her I had a really bad blood clot and so we were worried I could loose her. Matt gave me a blessing and in it I was promised that I would carry her to full term and that she would be healthy, I held on to this promise with my life. She is an Amazing daughter I feel so blessed to be her mother!

She wanted to have a tea party with her friends and we sure had a great time. Her dad and brother were great sports and were the butlers and served the girls food. Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!

Snow day

This weekend it snowed a ton, the kids got to go out and play in the snow with their dad. They had a blast!

Santa 2012

Santa Claus is at the mall so we took the kids to see him. Well just to get one picture is a joke so we had to have Matt take one with his cell phone, so the quality isn't too great since he was so far away. But needless to say, Mason was very upset. Santa did give him a sucker and asked him if he wanted cars and balls and hearing the word, "cars" made him cheer up enough to stay sitting. He would not look at him though. Karlee asked for a phone (hahaha she is hilarious) but then asked for an American Girl doll, Rodney wants bey blades, Emily wants a Dora that does gymnastics and Mason wanted his sucker, cars and his Mama! It was a fun weekend.

My little girl is growing up
