My 21st Birthday!!!!

As most know the 13th was my 21st birthday! It was absolutely amazing! Ben took me to lunch at CPK, shopping at Chandler mall, then to see Confessions of a Shopaholic! Then he surprised me with dinner at my fav, BENIHANNA! Mal and Craig were also in on the dinner surprise and it was so much fun. I woke up to one present and flowers on the counter, it was a gift certificate for shopping. Then I got into the shower and when I came out there was another present, it was the yummiest perfume "Euphoria!" Then at dinner Ben surprised me with the most AMAZING present ever! It was a brand new wedding band!!! I was in tears! I have been asking for one for so long and I learned Ben knows exactly what I want always!!! Here are some pictures of my "BRITTANY-PALOOZA" as Ben so lovingly named this weekend. 

CARTER IS AMAZING.

this was his third Benihanna experience of his life, hes like 3 months old.

twinsies!!!

~Leesie and Bryton~

I love these girls! I can't believe how cute they are and how much they look alike! They should be cousins (or twins!)!!  Then Brytie fell asleep in the bouncer. PS be prepared for blog catch up!! 

"Carter I have to tell you something, you are all blessed!" Love, Savannah K

Today was my darling little nephew's blessing. Mr. Carter Craig Nikolaus was blessed by his daddy today; Craig did such a good job! I was literally bawling hearing Craig talk about his little boy and my sissy. He is such an amazing man and there is no one in this world better suited for my sister. He is the best big brother anyone could ask for and Mal is my bestest friend. I feel so blessed to be able to be a part of this special day. I love you guys so much! And Im pretty sure there is no way any lil boy could be as cute as Carter looked today in his little white suit with tails and a bow tie!! He is such a little ray of sunshine to look at. As usual Ryleigh was ticked during picture time so she is making some awesome faces. She finally warmed up towards the end of the day, hence the sweet pic at the top of me and her. I am so blessed to have such an amazing and loving family.

Brytie decided she needed a little snack before church!

We are thugs! 

As are we! Can you believe Mal is such a hot momma!! Brown Cow you are seriously my favorite girl, Im so glad we have become so close. Im so happy we are such good friends. 

Um could i look more like my momma in this photo?!?! I guess Im lucky she's hot ;-) Love you Mom.

ASU Gymnastics meet and later that night....

Sooooo its Saturday night and we (me, ben, craig, and mal) are bored as heck........ Then Craig has the brilliant idea of painting, after watching Bob Ross of course! Here is product of are artistic abilities.

My fairy castle for my girls!

The above is Ben's version of Bryton in her Bumbo... Im thinking early Picasso...

Holiday fun, and snow in Tempe :)

This weekend at Tempe town lake was the fantasy of lights boat parade. It was so much fun! They had Santa and 50 tons of real snow trucked in for the kids to play in. There were snow machines blowing making it feel so Christmasy! It was the perfect way to get into the spirit! Ryleigh had a blast and I just love her face when she sees Santa. It has been a while since I have posted so there are also some random pics from the past couple weeks. I just cant get enough of my girls!

My love, my life, my everything. I am so lucky. He always supports me and my crazy ideas.

I love this picture, she looks so happy to be playing in the snow with me!

Two of my favorite girls <3

  

Daddy's girl :)

At the movies seeing BOLT!

She loves the lights!

My BEAUTIFUL little DuckiEs!

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF MY TODDLER'S MANY HATS!!!!!

Carter sauce and Bright eyes.

I love them :) We just couldn't be happier. 

My little Turkey!! and an amazing Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving! Seriously whats not to love? You get to eat AMAZING food and UNBELIEVABLE deserts at any volume you wish and no one can (or does) say a word. You get to play games with your hilarious family and watch your kids run around on a sugar high with their cousins. Then you go home and take a very restful nap, wake up and decorate for Christmas!! Ryleigh was in rare form all day. She is always a funny kid but on Thanksgiving she was one of a kind. I could not stop laughing all day. Oh and ps look how cute Brytie looks in her pink boots!! I love playing dress up with her. Its kinda sad shes just like my little baby doll. 

Below is the beautiful ladies of the family. Well between the ages of like 18-30ish. I loooove that I look like I don't even belong. Ryleigh could sit there for me...at least she looks like she should be there. :)

and the guys......

Here is an example of the hilariousness of my 2 year old. This is her attempt at the bunny ears!

My gorgeous hubby!

Cody Sue and Carterrrrr. I LOOOOVE THEM!

Me and Bryton. (ps i can't figure out why this sentence is underlined.......)

Decorating our Christmas tree! Its Ryleigh's year to add the star.

Me harassing Bryton with the camera flash. You can tell she loves it! I love making her mad because she never ever ever cries unless I am actually trying to make her. Poor little thing. She is the least fussy kid ever I think. I am obsessed :)
