Brandon loves the bathtub and wants to stay in even after I drain all of the water out. He also recently discovered how to open the lazy susan cupboard and has a ball exploring in it. The last picture is so cute. Brandon definitely loves his daddy! 

This picture was taken at the Mt. Timpanogas temple when Brandon's Uncle Johnny and Aunt Lindsy were married. Brandon seems to be wondering what the big harry thing is on Grandpa Max's face. One thing's for sure though, he sure does like to touch it.

I have been promising Grandma that i would get some more pictures/videos on the Blog so she could see her ever-growing Grandson. We were hoping to come up and visit the beginning of this month but that, unfortunately, was not possible. Hopefully Grandma will be able to come see Brandon instead! We should be able to see all of you around Thanksgiving as i am saving up some PTO to be able to do so. Unfortunately, once again, Money is the issue..

But enough of that...
On to Brandon!!!

First a Picture of Brandon with Hanna.
The cute little guy wants to hang out with Mom
Even when he is dead tired...

Ever since he learned to crawl proficiently,
Brandon has been all over the place!
In this picture, he is playing with my shoe
(he does this frequently)
and gets a huge grin
on his face as Mommy snaps a picture!

Now for some videos!

In this first one, Brandon tries to tell us that he
wants to watch his Baby Einsteins Video. Oh how he loves them!

In this video, Brandon shows all of you
just how mobile he is! He doesn't stand up all the way,
but he can that's for sure! He does it all the time!
Frequently falling and bonking himself...
That's the life of a Baby however!

Well, Hope you all liked the brief glimpse into how big my son is getting.
We love and miss all of you

(and no, Brandon may not be able to say Grandma yet,
but we know that he misses her dearly none the less.)
Love You All!

Until Next Time...

I stuck Eric's hat on one day while he was at work and decided to take some pictures of myself. Then I had to bring Brandon into the picture of course. He's so darn cute!

Eric enjoyed some cake at Ian's birthday party in Alpine! Eric always did say that he likes cake! LOL!

Call: 801-Garbage

Auntie Elisa loves her nephew! I don't blame her.

We went to Chucky Cheese with Elisa and her kids and Rainy and T.R. came too. Eric bought the glasses with his tickets, and Elisa bought those cute little earrings for Eva with her tickets. We had a blast!

Grandma Rose Lives In Another State. So Very Far Away From Her First And Only Grandchild. She Misses Him Terribly And Requested,
That More Videos And Pictures Be Placed On The Blog For Those Long Nights When She Cannot Sleep.
These Are For You Grandma!!!

At the computer with Daddy! With cousin Alexa on Morfar's swing!

Grandpa and Grandma Rose came down to Utah for Nicole's Graduation. We all went out to eat at La Vigna's in A.F afterwards and Brandon got some loves from Grandma Shauna.

Brandon's first feeding of rice cereal. He seems to say "I don't know about this Mom."

Eric, Brandon and I were sealed together in the Idaho Falls Temple for time and all eternity. We are so grateful for this experience and hope you enjoy some pictures of the day.

Well, Eric and I have started taking temple prep classes. We feel that these classes are important to take before we go to the temple. Our new plan is to travel to Idaho Falls and be sealed in the Idaho Falls temple to each other and our son Brandon that day. We also plan to bless Brandon the next day in Eric's mom's ward. How excited she will be to see her first grand child again!! We morned the loss of my Father's Father (FarFar in Swedish) this past week. We love him. We will miss him and for me it gives me greater strength to do what is right in order to return to God's presence and see him again there.

Well, Eric finally got ordained an Elder. He was ordained by my brother Johnny with my dad standing in the circle. How blessed we are! The Priesthood of God is wonderful! I cried tears of joy and am so excited for the next steps in our eternal progression together. We will be a family in God's eyes soon.

Well, we finally got rid of Garfield. Hanna cried and Eric felt bad but we both know that it's for the best. Male cats who pee on everything can't be good for your health. But, we have three beautiful little kittens to remind us of him every day. We hope that he will go to a good home where they will let him roam around outside and come inside when it gets cold. We just couldn't have an outdoor cat for fear of what he might bring home. Anyway, we miss him but we're glad we made the right decision. He was a big, fluffy, orange and white cat and he gave us kitties which is why we got him in the first place.

Hey it's Hanna.
I am enjoying being a mother. It is definitely a lot of hard work but it is fun too. Eric and I love our place here in Provo. Our cat Krissy had her litter a week before I had Brandon so the house is full of "babies". We enjoy them. We are hoping that Eric will become an Elder in the LDS church within the next couple of weeks so that he can bless our new baby boy. A lot of his family lives in Idaho Falls and we figured that since they came to Utah for the Wedding that we would go there for the Sealing. The Idaho Falls temple was the first temple that I did baptisms in and I believe it was Eric's first temple to serve in too. How blessed we are to have so many temples!

Hi Folks,

Its, Eric. So for all you people who don't know already, (with me is it possible that someone doesn't know?) Brandon was born 3 weeks early due to some complications with the umbilical cord, but is home now thanks to the love and protection of our Father in Heaven. If you want to know just how well he is, take a look at this video taken of Brandon and my mom below!



Hopefully, if all goes well, the three of us will be coming up to Idaho soon to get sealed. Hope to see you all then!
