We had the amazing opportunity to take Brody to the Temple to be Sealed to us, for Time and all Eternity. We will never forget that day when we saw our 2 boys dressed all in white, entering the sealing room. The spirit was so strong and the veil was so thin. We were surrounded by Angels and our Family and Friends. We could feel their love and Heavenly Father's love for this sweet and special boy. Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us. Brody's plan is to be apart of our family. He just had to come to us a very special way. We are very grateful for Brody's birth parents and families. We love you so much, and consider all of you apart of our family. Thank you to everyone who came to be apart of our special day. We love you all. Families are Forever.

Happy Fathers Day!

We LOVE YOU DADDY and hope you had a wonderful day. Thank you for everything you do for us. You are The World's Best Dad, Hands down.
We would also like to wish a Happy Father's Day to Daddy David and Daddy Devin. We Thank You both for the two awesomest little boys ever! We hope you both had a wonderful day. Love ya!

Finalization

It's final. Brody is officially ours! :) Being in the court room (that Randy re-modeled) made everything so real. It was a neat, but also a hard experience to hear all the legal documents read out loud. Our hearts are full of LOVE and GRATITUDE for Brody's amazing birth parents. We couldn't help, but to think of them as the Judge read their names out loud. Tears filled our eyes. We Love and THANK YOU both for this handsome little guy that makes us so happy. Brody brings such a sweet peace into our home. We would also like to THANK our family and friends who have supported us during this adoption process. We are very blessed to have all of you apart of our lives. We are one HAPPY family:) We love you all!

Brody Turned 6 Months

Wow! Brody is 6 months. He just gets cuter by the day. He knows that when he cries someone will tend to him, so he has come up with a fake cry to get our attention. It's the cutest thing and makes us laugh. He is all over the place rolling around. He sits up really good. He loves to play with his toys, watch Baby Einstein, and watch his big brother. When Brody sees Brock he starts giggling, his hands and body go wild, and his smile is huge. He loves him you can tell. It is so fun to watch them together. They are going to be the best of buddies. Brody is the happiest baby ever. We love you Brody!

Happy 6 Months!

Cruzin' Boyz

I can see it now! These two good lookin' boys cruising the streets for chicks. Hopefully not for another 20 years. ha ha

A Little R & R in Moab

While most of you were in the rain and snow, we were in 80 degree weather! For Memorial Day weekend, we headed to Moab Utah with the Hinckley side of the family. It's the most beautiful and funnest place on earth. Here we are at a beautiful water hole. It is about a 1 mile hike in the hot 80 degree weather, but way worth it in the end:) While we were hiking to the water hole life-flight came and took a girl away who broke both of her ankles jumping into the water. Ouch! Her friend pushed her and she landed in shallow water. I was nervous because Randy jumped....he is ok. If you ever come here....NO PUSHING!

Racing to the top of this red sand mountain. Aunt Cali won!

Grandpa Hink and Brody. Grandpa Hink is an amazing Grandpa and father. He always finds time to play with all his grand kids one-on-one. I love this picture btw!

We went JEEPING! This is why we love Moab so much. It is very relaxing until you come to an obstacle then your nerves start to kick in. The thrill you get when you make it to the top is incredible! It is amazing to be out in the open red rock and see just how beautiful this world is. Amazing!

Cute thing: While jeeping we stopped for lunch in this red rock cave and while we were eating Brock starts crying. He looked up at everyone and said "I had a accident, I pooped my pants." It was the cutest thing. I guess for a 3 year old when you know there is no bathroom, you just go:) Good thing I brought an extra pair of undies.

We went to a park and had a little to much fun:) Can't you just eat little Brody up? Brock is a curious and hungry little boy. He decided to eat mulberries from a tree. It stained his cloths and body. A few minutes later he was playing catch with aunt Heather when he turned his head and the ball smacked him right on the nose. Poor thing. Needless to say, Brock came home looking great:)

We went swimming. Brock loved it. He just stands in one spot and jumps up and down giggling, too cute. This was Brody's first time swimming, and guess what? He LOVED it. He was cooing up a storm and splashing his hands in the water smiling:) Way too cute! We love our boys!

We hiked up the red rock to see some dinosaur tracks. Way cool.

On Top of the World! Some of the Hinckley family. Thank you to everyone for the great time and memories. It was a BLAST!

Look Who's Sitting Up

Growing Old

A week ago Randy, the boys and I were driving in the truck. We were stopped at a red light, when I saw this cute old couple crossing the street hand in hand. The husband looked quite healthy while the wife looked a little frail and fragile. As I watched them slowly cross the street tears filled my eyes and then I was bawling hysterically. Randy looked at me with big eyes and asked "ahhh...why are you crying?" I told him I was excited to grow old with him and hopefully be as cute as that old couple. We are coming up on our 11 year anniversary. The time as flown, but I look forward to many years to come with him and our boys. I can't believe I am saying this, but I look forward in getting old and walking hand in hand with my Rand:)

a "DAY" in the Sun, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!

The weather here in Utah has been crazy! Not a lot of sunshine, mostly rain. So when the weather is good we are definitely out in the sun. One afternoon we decided to go and have a picnic at Liberty Park. It was a blast!

Brock could hardly wait to get his feet/body wet. When he was playing he said "mom, this is so much fun, I can't believe it!" That made me remember what it was like at his age. I just loved it. It's rewarding to know that we are creating some fun memories for him and Brody.

Daddy enjoying Brody

Brody's first wading experience. By the look on his face the water must have been cold.

Brock loved feeding the ducks and Brody enjoyed watching them.
