Happy Valentine's Day!!

Shortly after the first picture was taken the after effects of Mommy's chocolate consumption destoyed this outfit so we went for very festive pink outfit #2!

I just can't get enough!

Tate is slowly but surely putting on a pound or two which means her outfit selections are increasing. She was so excited to be able to wear something new to church that she couldn't stop smiling!
This was the end result! (yes the flower is almost as big as her head)

Last, but not least, Tatum has come up with a new party trick...she can amost fit her entire fist in her mouth! it is quite a sight to see!

Tatum loves to be held!!

While in AZ Tatum was able to play alot with her cousins! They could not get enough of her and often times would be big helpers when it came to changing diapers and sometimes even feedings!

Oh, and Grandpa spoiled her the most. If he didn't have to go to work I think he would never have put her down! They just could't get enough of eachother!!!

Tatum's Baby Blessing...

It was also great to be in AZ because sweet Lyndsay and Ella were able to share this wonderful occasion with us!
Aunt Kami has the magic touch, most of the time Tatum would fall asleep in her arms!

Proud parents!!!!!
My Parents were nice enough to fly into AZ that morning and flew out again that evening! The things parents will do for their grandkids!!!

Jeff's brother was married in Arizona the second week in January, so we decided to bless Tatum in Mesa while the Family was still in town. Jeff did a wonderful job and I cannot think of a single thing he left out so Tatum better be one good girl!

Christmas with a cactus...

We Took Tatum on her first plane ride to the sunny state of Arizona this Christmas to get to know her warm blooded side of the family....if you were wondering, yes it was warm enough to wear shorts on Christmas day. I surprised Jeff with his dream sleeping bag this year....I am just setting myself up for a long year of camping trips i guess!
Tatum's cousins gave her a cute little Christmas outfit to wear on her first Christmas eve!
As for me....yes a gun! I guess Santa (AKA Brimhall parents) wanted to make sure we are safe if anyone tries to mess with us. So stand back everyone, I have a gun and I don't know how to use it!

All I want for Christmas.....

Jeff had us all fooled when he said he was going to buy me a pony, when in fact it was really for Tatum. That is all she could talk about from day one was how much she wanted a pony and as you can see when she finally got it she was so excited she couldn't even keep her eyes open!
Santa (AKA Smoot parents) was so kind to jeff and I this year. Not only did he want us to have our two front teeth, but made sure that with this device we could keep them all! We opened up Christmas early in Colorado since the actual day was going to be spent in Arizona With Jeff's family! (and yes we were watching a christmas story)
As for me I got what I asked for, A happy, healthy Baby! We must have been extra good this year!
