Do you think it's crazy to go swimming outdoors in the middle of winter? We don't, not at

Lava Hot Springs. We had so much fun, especially the boys. Good times!

Happy 4th Birthday Brock!

Brock is this many!
He had a great Birthday! Sense he was turning 4 we told him he could invite 4 friends. He chose cousin Bryson, cousin Kailee, long friend Blake, and Riley (next door neighbor). And one snuck into the party. shhh! His party started at 1:00pm Saturday. We headed to Kangaroo Zoo in PG. No photos sorry, dumb me forgot the camera:( We then came back to the house for cake and ice cream and most important the PRESENTS!


He scored big time! He got silly putty, awesome blue light saber, suitcase for sleep-overs, clothes, monster bus, candy, gum, remote-control 4x4, a game, and I am sure I forgot a few.

Riley wasn't able to make it, so this is all who attended. Do you know which one snuck in?

Brock picked this batman cake. Good thing he can't read, because that day he was Brook. haha

We sang the Happy Birthday song and he couldn't wait to blow out the candles. That's his favorite part. He actually blew early.

There is this game called "What's in Ned's head?" I saw in a toy magazine. I had to get it for him. You pull unbelievable stuff out of his head from, spiders, to brains, to tongues. Brock loves that kind of stuff. It was a big hit!

We knew he had a fun field day when he fell asleep in his toy room around 5 o'clock. We are so proud of him and love him more every day. Thanks for being the coolest boy Brock, and for being you. We love you!

Happy Birthday!

p.s. Cousin Zyan we loved having you there!

It's Brody's Birthday! He turned 1 on the 8th! This past year has been so wonderful. It seemed like yesterday when Mommy Chanel announced that she wanted Brody apart of our family. We were in SHOCK, but very excited. We will never forget the spirit we felt that night, testifying to us that Chanel's decision was the right decision. We are so blessed to be the ones to watch this little baby boy grow and develop perfectly. Brody brings such a sweet peace into our home. He makes us smile every day with his determined personality.
We had such a blast the night of his party. We were surrounded by family and friends who have supported us through both adoptions. We are so grateful for everyone who came. Brody is loving all the fun gifts. THANK YOU! To all of you who couldn't make it, we put together a video of the events that took place that day. Enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRODY!

Never A Dull Moment

Do you recognize who this is? This is the Phantom. He walks around our house now and again hoping someone won't see his scar behind the mask (tape). Brock loves playing different characters, from super hero's to villains. We never know who he is going to be. He loves to pretend he's Batman, Darth Vader, The Phantom, Astro Boy, Spider Man, and the scary man in Home Alone with the black boots and shovel. He is always willing to save the day.

Not the greatest picture, but I just had to show you my LONG hair! I can't believe I did it. I grew it out. It only took me 10 years. haha

Kailee and Brock being the silly kids they are:)

Our happy baby. Oh wait...TODDLER! He has a fake laugh that's pretty darn cute.

Daddy time. The boys love to wrestle with daddy and I love watching. Even Brody gets into it by doing awesome body slams.

These two boys love the bath. As soon as the water turns on they both come running. I hope it stays that way:p

Brock's and Kailee's gingerbread house. It looks so cute.

So you see at the Mellor house there is never a dull moment.

Our Thanksgiving

This year we broke our tradition of staying home, pigging out to turkey, to going to Little America & well....pigging out there. We have never been there and have always wanted to go. It was amazing! EXCELLENT FOOD and such a variety. It was my side of the families year. All my siblings were there, minus Zack's family (they stayed home with their new born baby Izzy). We were also lucky enough to have Mommy Chanel come too!

After the lunch we headed to Fats Cats to burn some of the calories we just ate. Great time with the family. This Thanksgiving was awesome! Good food & great company I hope you all had a fabulous time with the blessings that matter most in life, FAMILY. I am so THANKFUL for my extended family & my little family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A New Blog to Follow (It's a must)

Brody's Mommy Chanel has a blog! If you have not yet heard her adoption story visit her blog here. You will not only understand the miracle of it, you will see how wonderful this young women is. She is fabulous! I am glad she is apart of not only our life, but Brody's as well. We love you Chanel!

It's the 8th Already?

Brody is 11 months today! This boy is trouble! haha. He has achieved so much in the last month. He conquered the stairs! Going up and down. He can get off our bed by himself (feet first). He can stand up in the middle of the room. He is now learning how to run. He loves to give hugs and kisses. He is just the sweetest thing! We feel so blessed to watch this little one grow. Happy 11 months Brody! There is nothing you can't do. We love you!

Also, we just got news that cousin baby Izzy was born today! I will post pictures soon:) Congrats Zack & Heather! I can't wait to meet her:)
