A tribute to the Broha.

There was once a time when I was taller than this booger. It's hard to believe now, but we used to be besties. Playing games, making funny faces, bugging mom, blaming the cracked vase on Jeff, pooping in the backyard (sorry no censor), giving ourselves black eyes from jumping on couches, sniffing beads up our nose and taking a hospital trip...   Now I'm married, and he's getting ready for his mission next week. Where did the time go?

This is classic me. I never wanted to let go of baby Parker. We've got videos to prove it. It was always "My turn" to hold him. 

Then there were the ones that came after me that I had to share him with ;) 

There is never a dull moment when Parker's home. Everyone in my family can attest to this. He keeps things fun and entertains us all. Whenever Parker leaves, everyone notices the house as "way too quiet".  For example,  when a California vacation to the BEACH isn't fun enough....  

He'll make it fun.

One of the funniest things Parker would do was hug mom and give her a kiss when she was very upset with him. . . then she would try to chase him around the Kitchen counter and could never catch up to him. This forced her to start laughing even when she tried her very best to stay upset.  

We're all going to miss this kid for the next two years. The people of Tempe Arizona won't know what there in for... Or how lucky they are to have Park. Love you Bro.  Missin' you already (as you can see). 

An overdue Christmas post

 This is an overdue post! But still worth posting.. We have a family of 9, plus 2 in-laws, and one soon-to-be in-law in these pictures. There is always something to do when all 12 of us are together.

 We had the opportunity to go to the Memphis TN temple with the whole family. It was such an amazing experience.

 Then, we went to this duck thing.... Not really sure what this was.

 We didn't really ride in this carriage, but thought if we took a picture by it, it would look as if we did.

 My cutie cute parentals..

 Jeff did a backflip on the street after we went to BBKings to show up the street acrobats.

 BBKINGS.

 Kelkel made a new friend.

 Oh, the sisters. Love them all.

 Games of 'catchphrase' are never good with our competitive family..

 My sweet, sweet husband. . . but fiance' in this pic.

 After all the cool kids left (Jeff, Kar, Court, and Calv), Mom had us take the kids to the aquarium for their mutual activity. It was SO cold outside.

 Such yuck fish:

 Cutie honey.

 Jeff & Hailey

 Jeff, Marcus, and man with the crack.

 Okay, Bronsons don't look good in the morning. Our last breakfast at the Waffle House before Jeff hit the plane back to good ol' Utah.

Honeymoon!!

Our honeymoon was perfect!

We had so much fun, and everything was already taken care of (food, transportation, etc). We flew to Florida on Sunday (Feb 10) and were on the cruise ship the next morning. The dinners/desserts were our favorite..
