Melt my Mommy heart!

It's moments like these that just melt my little mommy heart and make all the chaos worthwhile. I certainly hope we have many, many more!!

Grayson's here!

Just a few minutes old.

Happy family of four!

New addition to the Nosker family. We just need Aunt Lois.

Grayson Kiyoshi is finally here. OK, not finally, he was actually 4 weeks early. That was a little scary, but overall he's doing great. He did have jaundice and had to have blood tests and a special light bed to sleep on. However, he's quite the eater and was back to his birth weight by 5 days old. We were all very curious to what/who he would look like. It's mostly been said that he looks like Brinlie. We've survived the first week and look forward to things just getting better and better. Brinlie loves her little brother and enjoys giving him lots of kisses (on top of his head, of course).

Brin and Jade with there new stuffed animals!

While we were in UT for the Christmas holiday, we took Brin and Jade to the Build-a-Bear for a little fun. They loved being able to pick out their animals and then dressing them up. Brin was very insistent that she had the black bear and that he was a boy. Then she dressed him in a rocker outfit, complete with a scarf. Jade got a girl bunny that she named Cutie-pie. Both girls had a good time creating their animals. Then we all went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for some yummy dinner and met up with our old friend Rick.

"It's a strike!"

Just a little help from Daddy.

We had a great time in UT for the annual family Christmas bowling party and New Years. We were able to have an extended stay, which was really nice to not have to do everything warp speed! We even had time to catch up with old friends and see some sights.

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving in Philly!

View of the parade from our hotel balcony! Soo cool!

All of us at the aquarium--oh, and my preggo belly.

The famous Liberty Bell.

This year we decided to take a trip to somewhere we've never been before--Philadelphia. It worked out great because Lois got to come down from New York and join us for Thanksgiving! We had a good time exploring the history and sites. Scott's goal was to eat a cheesesteak everyday, and we almost achieved it! The only day we didn't have one was on Thanksgiving. From this trip we also learned that it's nearly impossible to make a left hand turn in New Jersey! What should've taken us 10 minutes, ended up taking 45 minutes because we kept getting turned around. Even our GPS didn't know what to do. We also took a 2 hour drive to Hershey, PA and toured the Chocolate factory. Brin loved the ride and singing cows. All in all it was a great time and it worked out great. Even traveling with a 2 year old on a 4 hour flight was better than I expected.
