Preschool Christmas program!

Brayden has been attending a baptist preschool here in San Antonio. This preschool was recommended to me by many women in my ward and I have to say it has been awesome! Brayden goes to preschool every Tuesday and Thursday from 9-2p.m. He loves it. Every year they have a Christmas program where the children dress in costumes and act out the birth of Jesus. The costumes were amazing, the music was beautiful, and my heart was so touched to see these little ones play the nativity characters. Brayden was the banner bearer. He held a sign that said Jesus and he led the three kings out. He looked adorable. Here are some pictures from the program. Aren't the little Mary and Joseph so cute?

I love my little boy! He is getting so big.

Here is my little banner bearer.




Grandma and Aunt Shawna came as well to see Brayden. We missed you Daddy. Can't wait to show you the video of his program!

Thanksgiving Weekend!

For Thanksgiving this year we celebrated it at the Lake House. All of Jeff's siblings flew into Texas and Jeff's brother Mark also brought his girlfriend Melissa. We ate lots of good food, played games (especially scum), went for a boat ride, learned how to dance the cha cha, went black Friday shopping, and went to six flags! We had a blast! Here are some pictures from our fun filled weekend! This first picture is Brielle riding for the first time on the boat. I think she liked it

Picture of the Fuller family!


Just arriving at six flags. Don't we look thrilled?

The first ride we all rode was the wiggles airplane ride. We all did it for Brayden. Here is Mark with his girlfriend Melissa. Aren't they adorable?

Brielle loved playing in Grandma's fridge. I guess she felt like she fit perfect in it.

Look who is one?

Are sweet Bri turned one on November 3rd. On her actual birthday Brielle went to mutual with me. My beehives love her to pieces! She got many hugs and kisses on her birthday! Brielle weighs just barely 20 pounds at 12 months. She says mama and dada. She loves her bottles (they will be hard to take away) and she is definitely a mamas girls. She loves pulling her adorable bows out and it drives me nuts. Her eyes cannot decide if they are going to be blue or brown and her hair is still deciding if it will be brown or blond. We might have a very indecisive teenager on our hands one day.

Jeff has been traveling a great deal so we decided to have her 1st birthday party on Thanksgiving since all of Jeff's siblings came out to Texas. Ironically Brielle was due Thanksgiving day but she arrived 3 and half weeks early.
I love her big smiles. She lights up my day when she smiles at me!



Here is Brielle with her three moms.

She loved her birthday cupcake! Confetti cake with homemade cream cheese frosting is so yummy!!

Fuller Update

Well, I have to say I have a love hate relationship with my blog. I always want to post things on my blog, but then time goes by and I still haven't done it. I have this thing about posting things in the order they happen. I just can't post about Halloween if my Easter pictures have not been put up. Does anyone else have this problem? Today I did 13 new posts. If you want to check out what the Fuller's have been up these past six months just read the 13 new posts below.

Fall is here!

Once again my favorite time of year is here. I love October! Starting back in September I decided I was going to finally buy Halloween decorations. I have had them up since the middle of September so I could enjoy them as long as possible. Here are some pictures of how it turned out. Let me know what you think. I found these pumpkin cupcakes at Kohls! The big one is a cookie jar and the small ones are candles. The table square is fabric I picked up at Hobby Lobby. Gotta love that store.

My mother-in law came up with the idea to sprinkle the candy corn around the giant cupcake. I think it gave it just the right touch.

Normally these keys are hanging from red ribbon but I changed it to orange to give it that Halloween touch.
The jars I got at Ross and Michaels. The small pumpkins are from pier one, the large ones are from Ross, and the black ornaments are from Hobby Lobby.

I just love these argyle pumpkins! Found these at my favorite store.. Hobby Lobby!

The table round skirt is from Kirklands. I love how it mixes polka dots, damask, and spider webs together. Suckers are from Wal-mart. I wanted black, white, and orange pinwheel suckers but I never found them. Eventually I would like to find some type of orange glitter balls or pompoms to hang from the black branches.

We got season passes this year to Six Flags. This is us three weeks ago enjoying Fright Fest at Six Flags. Oh how the weather has been perfect in San Antonio since the beginning of October. Another reason why I love October. Happy Halloween!

Brielle is 11 months!

Alright this is Brielle's last official baby month. I can't believe my infant is turning into a toddler. Brielle got four of her top teeth this month. I can't imagine how painful it was to have four teeth come in at once. Brielle is definitely more opinionated. This month she started throwing her food onto the floor when she is not hungry anymore. I am definitely sick of sweeping under her highchair. When we go shopping now, she finds a way to stand up in the shopping cart or stroller even if she is buckled. I guess shopping days with her will be ending soon. Here some pictures of our little 11 month old. Brielle loves her Aunt Heather. Brielle lights up everyday when Heather comes home from school.

Eating her favorite snack..... Gold Fish!

Look who started Preschool and look who is ten months!

Brayden started preschool in September. He goes every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00-2:00. He has two of his sunbeam friends in his class. He looks forward to preschool every week and he loves doing his preschool homework. I hope he will be this enthusiastic about school when he is older. I can't believe how fast babies grow. Brielle is ten months in this picture. I had to take one of us since we matched.
Brielle loves her Grandma Jill. Once again they are pretty in pink!
Bradyen and Brielle love to play with each other. Brayden is such a great big brother. I love these two so much!

Look who has two new teeth!

Brielle finally got her first two teeth at 9 and 1/2 months. I love seeing these teeth when she smiles.

Mortensen Family in San Antonio

At the end of July my sister Melissa from BYU, my father, and my sister Jonelle, her husband Jay, and their two kids came to San Antonio for a visit. We had blast. We went down to the Alamo and Riverwalk, went to my in-laws lakehouse, played lots of card games, went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas, went shopping, went to the movies, and went out to eat. Brayden loved playing with his cousin Carly. My nephew Bradly even learned to walk here in Texas!

My Mother's Birthday was July 22nd, so we had a family home evening dedicated to sharing stories of my mother and celebrating her life. It was so fun having my family here. I cherish the time I get to spend with them because it is not very often.

Brielle 8 months!

8 months for Brielle was a huge month for her. At 8 months she learned to sit on her own, rock on all fours, crawl, and say mama. Yes, that's right her first word was mama. She is a mama's girls and I have to say I love it.

Brielle loves jewelry. If I have it on she immediately reaches for it and tries to put it in her mouth. In fact I dangled one of my necklaces in front of her to get her to crawl for the first time. I guess every baby is motivated to move for different things.

These pictures were taken the first day I put her hair in a little ponytail. We call it her little palm tree. I loved putting the crochet headbands in her hair but by eight months she would pull them right out. I am grateful she has enough hair to put in a small ponytail.
