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.

Fourth of July!

Jeff and I spent the Fourth of July in Phoenix this year. Surprisenly the weather was actually really nice. In all my years in AZ I have never remembered a Fourth of July this cool. It was wonderful. We hung out with the Anthon's. We ate Mexican food and played card games all night. We had a blast.
Our little girl was so excited to celebrate her first Fourth of July! (Brielle 8 months.)

My Best Friend's Wedding

My best friend Janae' got married July 1st to Sterling Cambell. They were sealed in the San Diego Temple. Jeff and I had the privilege of being able to attend their sealing. It was beautiful.

Can I also say the weather was absolutely gorgeous in San Diego. Why can't I live in in a place where the weather is perfect almost year round?

Jeff and I had a blast. My wonderful sister Jonelle offered to watch our kids so Jeff and I could enjoy a vacation kids free. It was wonderful and just what we needed. Jeff and I went out to eat, visited the beach, got a couples massage, saw the Twilight movie together, went shopping and slept through the night peacefully. I think every couple has to plan a romantic getaway at least once a year.

Here are some pictures from their wedding. Congratulations Janae' and Sterling!

Anthon's come to visit!

I have to say this summer flew by. We were able to take a few vacations and I had some family come visit. In June our cousin Alli and her son Dallin came and stayed with us for a week. The boys had so much fun together. We shopped, took the boys to the park, we swam, watched our favorite shows together. I love it when people come see us here in San Antonio. Dallin and Brayden love to be with each other. Here are some pictures from their visit with us in San Antonio.Every year Alli and I have a tradition where we buy the boys matching shirts and take pictures of them wearing them together. I wonder how many more years the boys are going to allow this? Best Friends forever they will be. Just like their daddy's and mommy's. This was Brielle's first experience swimming in a pool. She loves the water. (Brielle 7 mos.) I just want to squeeze her chubs on her arms and his cheeks. Too cute!

Jeff was out of town for Brayden's Birthday. So on Father's Day we threw Brayden a family birthday party. Grandma Jill gave Brayden these cool jet ski's, and Dallin and Alli got Brayden a boat on a trailer. Obviously Brayden is a Fuller. We are training him young to love boating and the lake. I think Dallin really enjoyed his cupcake!
Towards the end of June we headed out to Phoenix. We stayed at my Dad's and with Jake and Alli. Dallin's friend Clare had a birthday party to see Toy Story 3. This was the first movie Brayden saw in the theaters and he loved it.

Can you feel the love these boys have for each other. They are adorable. Please don't grow up to fast!

Pink Cadillac

Back in June, Jill and I went to Babies-R-U to look at some double strollers. As we were walking down the isles we saw this adorable pink cadillac walker! We had to take some pictures of Brielle in it.

(Brielle 7 months)

May Birthdays

The month of May is crazy for us because Jeff, Brayden, my sister-in-law Heather, my nephew Bradly, and I all have May Birthdays!

Brayden turned four on May 29th. I can't believe he will be in kindergarten in one more year. This year Brayden decided he wanted a cars party. I was grateful he picked an easy theme. Every year for my kids birthday I have a tradition where I make them a fun homemade birthday cake. My mother-in-law found a website called cutest homemade birthday cakes. This website shows you pictures of homemade cakes others have made with all sorts of themes. This website was our inspiration for Brayden's race track cake.

Jill and I stayed up way to late decorating this cake, but it was all worth it when I saw the expression on Brayden's face the next morning. Here are some pictures of the cake.

The race track was made out of chocolate frosting and crushed Oreo cookies. The road lines were made out of white good and plenty. The tire fence was made out of lifesavers. I printed the traffic signs from the internet. The best part about the cake was it tasted so good because it was a homemade with homemade cheesecake frosting.

Brayden invited five friends over for his birthday. We played pin the tire on the car, red light green light, the bean bag dance, and animal action. After pizza, cake, and presents we went swimming. Brayden had a blast.

Jeff and I are one day a part. I am one day older and this year we both turned 30! I can't believe we are 30. I still feel like I am 18. For my Birthday Jeff took me out for breakfast and then we did a little shopping. Later that night we went on a triple date with our good friends Courtney and Jared and Lacy and Jason. We ate at Red Robin and then went and saw the iron man 2 movie. We had a blast. Mother's day was Jeff's Birthday so we just had a little family party. I am so glad Jeff and I get to share our birthday's together. It is one big party all week!
