Brenlee thought this looked like Grandpa Chuck! lol!

But we were all wondering what Santa was doing at the hotsprings!

Our trip to Glenwood Springs was awesome. First, we went to an adventure park and went on a cave tour, bunge jumping, and on a giant swing that sweeps you out over the ledge of a cliff! Brenlee had fun on a rollercoaster that you can make go as fast as you want. Then, we hiked to Hanging Lake. It is this really gorgeous lake that has a waterfall going into it. It was so blue!

For Easter, we hit up a couple of different egg hunts. The first one was so dumb because all of the parents ran out and pretty much trampled the kids, but Brenlee survived and was so excited to get a hug from the Easter Bunny.

Brenlee got a new bike from Grandpa Bart and Grandma Carrie. This is her first time riding it at our house. She was so happy that it was a "Re-punzle" bike.

Right before Christmas, we went downtown to look at the Christmas lights. It was so fun. Brenlee was in heaven and this is one of my favorite pictures. Brenlee's Panda was born!

Brenlee told Santa that she wanted a "pink tractor" for christmas. I'm sure it was very very hard for Santa, but she got one. We woke up at 1:30am christmas morning and Santa had already come before Jake had to work! Brenlee was so funny how excited she was! She kept saying "Santa loves me because he got me this!"

Christmas 2010

Everytime we took Brenlee to see Santa, she told him she wanted a "pink tractor". We have no idea where she got this, but all we could do was hope that Santa would pull through. Luckily he did! She woke up christmas morning at 2:00 am to not one, but two pink tractors. She was so excited!

Cute things kids say

Brenlee is in that stage that she says really cute things. Here are a few that I want to remember.

A few days ago, she found a baloon that she got when she was BORN. Jake told her where it came from and she came downstairs and said "I got this when I was BORING!"

She learned her Pledge of Allegience in daycare and this is it in her words: I pledge my legence to the fag of the nighted states of america, and to the repub lick for witch it stands, one nay shun under god, indespicable with liverty and just ice for all. But you have to hear her say this it is soooo cute!

See, I already forgot some of the other funny things! I need to write them down more.

Here is a little update: Jake got me and Brenlee a new puppy for Valentine's Day. Her name is Hannah and she is a cute white lab. She is so much fun! We cannot wait to take her camping and hiking this summer. But I forgot how much work puppies are! Yikes! I am taking kind of a break from school right now (only 2 classes) , but I am getting ready to go to RN school in the fall. Jake is going to be starting school next semester too. Brenlee is still LOVING preschool and dance class. Oh that reminds me, she calls her leotard her leed-o-tard! lol! Tomorrow in preschool she is having a Chinese New Year Party. They are making their own Chinese food and learning how to do the dragon dance! She is so excited, but she thinks the dragon is monster.
Well that's all I can think of for now! We miss everyone! I will be back to post pictures soon!
