We blessed Cade a few Sundays ago(which explains the white outfit). We took a family picture and it actually turned out ok (which is impossible lately with Brody- he can't sit still for pictures).

Grandma Jesperson

Cassidy's Grandma Jesperson passed away Sunday night, so i thought i would write a little bit about this wonderful women i have gotten to know the last few years. She was truly an amazing women. Back in the day she was a pilot instructor, wow!! Not very many women now days fly planes but to be a pilot 50-60 years ago shows how ambitious she was. She was very organized, everything had its place and she always had her list of things to get done ( i hope to someday be as organized as her). She was a very righteous lady, her love of the gospel showed in her appearance, she always had a special glow about her. And i never saw her without a smile on her face. At 90 years of age she was still faithful about doing her visiting teaching ( just goes to show no matter your age there are always callings to fulfill). She was a great example to me and i hope to follow in her footsteps. I am so greatfull that she was able to have a relationship with Brody and Cade. She is greatly loved and missed!!

10 lbs 1 oz and 23 inches

If some of you are taking a double glance at the title thinking there is a typing error, i am here to inform you there is not. Cade Roy Trimble was born February 2nd and he was 10lb 1oz and 23 inches long. The funny thing is during this pregnancy I would always tell cass i don't care if he is 10lbs as long as his head is smaller than Brody's (Brody's head was so big he had to be suctioned out). Well i am happy to report Cade's head is a 1/2 inch smaller than Brody's!!!
Brody is adjusting well and always wants to hold Cade!!
As you can see in the pictures Cade's hair is jet black and makes Brody look like a ghost because he has such dark skin (for being a white boy). My mom predicted that Cade would be the opposite of Brody, he has hair and dark skin, unlike Brody who has no hair and is white!!

CHRISTMAS DAY

BRODY HAD SO MUCH FUN OPENING PRESENTS. WE HAD A HARD TIME GETTING HIM TO KEEP OPENING PRESENTS BECAUSE HE JUST WANTED TO PLAY WITH THE TOYS HE ALREADY OPENED.
BRODY AND HIS COUSIN HARDY. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO TEACH HIM TO BE SOFT (HE STILL HAS A HARD TIME WITH THAT CONCEPT)
THIS IS ARE ATTEMPT TO TAKE A PICTURE IN OUR MATCHING PJ'S (WHICH ME AND CHELSEA MADE-FAMILY TRADITION). AS YOU CAN SEE BRODY DID NOT WANT TO HOLD STILL.

Christmas Eve

This Christmas we had Cassidy's Dad and his wife along with his sister and her family over for Christmas Eve. We thought it would be fun to have breakfast for dinner. We made buttermilk waffles with strawberries, it was so good!!
As you can see everyone ate way too much.
LATER THAT NIGHT WE ACTED OUT THE NATIVITY. THE ROLES WERE AS FOLLOWED:
CHELSEA-MARY
HURYM-JOSEPH
HARDY-JESUS
CASS-SHEPARD
BRODY-WISE MAN
SHERRY-ANGEL

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN!!

CUPBOARD ENTERTAINMENT

BRODY FIGURED OUT THAT HE COULD SIT IN THE CUPBOARD TODAY. HE TRIED AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SHUT DOOR WHILE STILL SITTING IN IT. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS HE GAVE UP.

Trick or Treat

Brody was a pumpkin for Halloween. He was so cute, and to my surprise he kept his hat on all night.
He was so excitited to go trick or treating we couldn't slow him down. He walked from house to house for about 45 min and then finally decided he wanted to be carried.
He was amazed by the glowing pumpkins, luckily Uncle Gary had his eye on him.
Brody and and his cousin Hardy (isn't he the cutest pea pod).
