Vacation continued

I am finally done with the pictures so here they are. I will give you a break down of what we did while we were out of the state.
So at the first of March I got this crazy idea that I wanted to go some where warm, so I asked Adam and he said sure where do you want to go. I said lets go to St George. Then St George turned into Las Vegas and Mesquite. I was completely surprised, last time we drove to Vegas Adam said never again. We had planned to go with the Sutton's but there plans changed, it is ok April we still love you guys.














Bridger was an amazing traveler. He slept from Pocatello to Bountiful where we stopped at Jamie's house. It is always so fun to catch up with her, Mike and little Will. Will is so funny, he loved to beat up on Bridger. I think they will be buds when Bridger learns to fight back!













This is what the car ride looked like as we were driving to Vegas. I do not drive well at night so Adam had to drive almost the whole way. We arrived at Boulder Hotel and Casino at about 1:15 am. When we got into the hotel Bridger thought that it was time to PARTY!













This was out hotel....It was so nice. Bridger found where the Kleenex box was and enjoyed pulling them all out! We were also on the 15th floor so we had an amazing view of the strip.













Then we headed to the outlet malls. Oh man they were AMAZING. I found me a skirt for 10.00 and I got Bridger some clothes at the Children s Place.













This was the big aquarium at Caesar's Palace. WE got to watch the them feed all the fish. We also stopped at the Cheesecake factory for some Yummy cheesecake!













We just enjoyed hanging out in the amazing weather.













We went and saw Bridger's GREAT GREAT grandpa in Overton NV. That is where we took the railroad pics. He will be 89 this month, he looks amazing.













Friday night we went to Casablanca for there all you can eat buffet. Oh is was so good. I had plenty of crab and shrimp. Adam was going to be brave and try this crawdad but he could not figure out how to eat it.













Just pics of the little man. Oh we love him.













Saturday we headed to St George and stop at Jacob's house. It was so neat to see the things that they did to survive and to learn about there unwavering faith. They were great people.














We had such a great time. I did ok taking pictures but we also had the chance to go bowling, miniture golfing, and swimming. We has such a great time that we are planning to make it a new tradition. Excluding next year, we are going in June to see Adam's Aunt and Uncle who have been serving as mission presidents in Paraguay. I am already counting down the days, we miss them sooooooo much.
This last picture I took right before we left St George, because I knew we were coming home to ..

Bridger's 1st Birthday and weekend fun

We got through Bridger's first Birthday great! I still can't beleive that he is one. Where does time go? We started the party out by eating some great food. Bridger loved all the attention and all the new food!
























Then we decided to pull out the cake. Adam picked out this cake and I think it turned out pretty good.









Bridger loved his cake as you can see.









He could not resist!









Cute messy BOY!









Then after the cake we opened some gifts. Thanks everyone for all the nice stuff. Overall we had a awesome day. Thanks to all those who came and wanted to come. We love and appreciate you all.












We had so many leftovers that we decided to have the Taylor's come and help us eat them. It was fun to get out the Wii and play some games. This is there little girl Addie, she is such a little doll, and i did not get a picture of there little man Jackson but he is so handsome.












Gamin with the guitar!









Last but not least Bridger had his 12 month appointment today. I can't beleive a year ago he was 7 lbs 9 oz and now he weighs 21 Lbs 10 oz. It is so crazy how much they grow in one year. He was also 31 inches long. I just want to say what an amazing year this has been. Watching him grow and become this little boy has been such a miracle and a blessing. I could not imagine my life without this sweet little spirit.
On another good note Brandon finally signed the papers and he is DONE with the divorce. All I can say is FINALLY. It was good to see him and see that smile again, that we knew he still had. He has also lost so much weight, both physically and emotionally. His ex-wife weighed him down so much physically, mentally, financially and spiritually. So he has had so much weight lifted off his shoulders. He Looks so HAPPY! We love you Brandon and can't wait to see what your future holds for you!

What is going on at the Phillips house........

Well we have had a little going on at our house. And more to come. Bridger has had this thing that he likes to steal graham crackers from you and it does not not matter how many he already has. He is just like his father.



















Happy Birthday to my 28 year old Husband

These are a few of my favorite pictures of the hubby. He is such an amazing man. I am so lucky to have a husband that works hard so I can stay at home with my son. I am so proud of him for all of his accomplishments. I give him a list to do around the house, it may not get done right away but it gets done. I could not ask for a better husband and Father to spend eternity with. Happy Birthday babe. I LOVE YOU!

Apparently I don't feed him good enough!




















Man he is cool!























My newest hobby........................Coupons

SO I have picked up a new hobby thanks to my friend Jamie. Man watching the deals she got made me want to try harder. Here are my purchases. Any guesses how much these cost. I am to lazy to write it all over again so check out my savings blog(Here). Yes I copied you Jamie, hope you don't mind.

My Joy's

As my son keeps growing he constantly reminds me how blessed we are. This little man is the center of our lives and I could not imagine our life without him. Staying at home with Bridger has been the biggest blessing ever. I get to watch him grow and hit new milestones every minute of everyday. I LOVE IT! I could not imagine my life without these two men. They both make me want to be the best wife and mother.










It is so fun to watch Bridger interact with other children. Thanks Emily for letting me watch Addie!












Here are the latest videos of Bridger. I hope you enjoy!

P90X








So my husband ordered this off Ebay last week and we just started Day 1 today. I am so excited to watch my body transform and become stronger. I have always enjoyed being fit, but after I had Bridger I have just not had the motivation that I have needed. So I am hoping that by tracking my progress and using there eating plan I will be able to stick with it and get amazing results. This is a little a bit about how it works. After my first work out today i can't even lift my arms, and I can see a little four pack in my stomach. It is amazing, I can't wait to see the end results. If I get brave enough I may post the before and after photo's. That is a maybe so don't hold me to it. If I get motivated enough I may start a blog with my progress. ENJOY!

How does P90X work?

Two words: Muscle Confusion. By providing an extensive variety of different moves that take time to master, P90X is continually challenging the body's muscles into new growth. The more you confuse the muscle, the harder your body has to work to keep up; the more variety you put into your workout, the better and faster your results will be.

The flaw with many fitness products is that they all lead to a "plateau" where the body becomes accustomed to the routines, resulting in diminished effectiveness. P90X avoids this plateau effect by switching things up to keep the body guessing for the entire 90 days. Which means IT NEVER GETS EASY. By breaking old routines and opening new doors, secondary and tertiary muscles are constantly being activated and developed.

Learning Early and weekend

So my son is learning to put small things in interesting
places already. Adam went to try to play a tape tonight and
for some odd reason it would not play. When Bridger goes in the office he loves to stick his fingers in the tape player, get them stuck then make noises tell we help him get his fingers out. So Adam was sticking his fingers in the tape machine and found a SHARPE! So our tape player is back to playing tapes for now!









Bridger is now feeding himself dinner. It is great, except he is so messy!












This weekend we went to my little sister's cheer Competition. Lisa and I enjoyed watching all the teams. It reminded us of the good old days, when we could move like that! It was fun to watch Hillcrest because they used the same build that we took to nationals and WON! It is so much fun to watch my little sister's grow up, they are both AMAZING girls! And I am proud of Meagan for sticking with it even though she has been dropped numerous times.













Last but not least my BIRTHDAY! After you have kids your birthday's are not even close to exciting any more. I have a great family and friends who spoil me rotten. I took all my birthday money and a little from my husband and bought me a cricut. It is AMAZING. I always tell Adam how much I want him to buy me flowers and he hates flowers, so his mother Tracie and Martin got these beautiful flowers for me. Thanks for all the birthday wishes from everyone also, IT was and overall amazing day, THANKS. Now I have Adam and Bridger's birthday to plan for March.
