The secrets out...

 We have only told family up until now, but it is getting harder to hide the fat roll around my middle. :) Plus the boys know now so I don't know how long they will keep it quite. We are expecting baby #3 due August 1st!!!  The boys are super excited and keep hoping for a girl. But I am not getting my hopes up and would be super happy with another healthy little boy!

January randoms

These are just some random pics from January.
Most of them are of Carter since Cooper is now back in school. 
Carter is now a big SUNBEAM at church! The first week he did so well.  He sat still the whole time and listened and sang songs like a perfect angel.  The second week he screamed on the floor the whole time, made me have a melt down in the middle of Primary and sent me home limping with carpet  burns on both my knees!  LOL :) I can laugh now, but I seriously wasn't laughing that Sunday afternoon. Oh well, if you know Carter that  is his personality. I love the kid despite his constant mood changes!!! :)
Reading his new favorite Biscuit book.  He has gotten into reading these preschool series of books that revolves around a dog named Biscuit. They are really cute and I highly recommend them for pre-school age kids. Everytime we go to Wal-mart he wants to get a new one and makes me read it to him until he memorizes it.  Then he will read it over and over by himself.
This pic if for Grandma! Carter brought the camera to me and told me to take a pic of him and Boomer for Grandma.  Boomer is his new stuffed dog toy that Grandma got for him at Christmas.  He sleeps with Boomer every night. Thanks Grandma!
We have had some sunny warm days in between the cold days, so one sunny Saturday the boys and I packed a picnic lunch and spent the day at the beach playing in the sand. 

You know me always looking for the perfect picture opportunity!! 

Lastly, my favorite picture of Carter. 
A couple of weeks ago while I was battling a horriable cold, Carter wouldn't stop whining about everything.  Being too sick to deal with him I went and laid down in bed and tried  to convince him to lay down with me for a nap since I  knew he was tired. After a few minutes the whining stopped and all was quiet. When I got up I found him in the laundry basket sleeping on the warm sheets from the dryer.  Love that boy!!

A bit behind....

Gosh, where have the months gone? December turned into January before I even blinked my eyes. As not to bore everyone too much I am going to post a quick synopsis of our holidays and  celebrations in December and January! The Britts are still here, having fun and doing well!!! :)
The week of Christmas we made chocolate candy pretzels and packaged them for our neighbors. The boys delivered them and sang Christmas songs. They had a blast and the neighbors loved it!
On Christmas Eve we had a fabulous dinner with wonderful friends! Thank you to the Mills family for inviting us.  We had a really good time.  It's so nice to have good friends close by! 
Cookies and a note for Santa from Cooper and Carter on Christmas Eve! 
Presents wrapped and waiting for two little boys to wake up.

Carter peeking around the corner Christmas morning. He was the first one up. 
The boys got tons of toys and candy but their favorite gifts were a big boy bike for Carter and a big bucket of legos for Cooper. 
We also visited Blaine's family and mine for Christmas but I didn't  get any pics.

On Dec. 29th Blaine and I celebrated our 9 year anniversay.  We celebrated with a candle light dinner, home made ice cream, fabulous cake dessert, and live entertainment from the kids. :) It was a fun night!

  

We rang in the New Year at my moms house with lots of family!
Cooper and Anna Claire. Best Cousins since birth! 
Baby Ayson.  If you remember I posted when he was born. 
He is almost 6 months old now. He is getting so big.
My mom and Carter. He wouldn't stop long enough to go to sleep.
But once my mom got him in her lap he passed out!
We  really had a fabulous Christmas and New Year!!!
