Vegas Baby!

Another wildly successful and fabulously fun Mountain West Conference basketball tournament trip hosted by none other than Dad! This one has to be one of the most fun to date. We had all the brothers together for the first time in years! And this year we changed things up a bit and brought along our lil sis :) It was SO awesome to have her with us! It made the whole trip that much better. We made the traditional stop at the ESPN Zone with front row seats, swam at the pool, hit up the buffets, and of course took in a whole lot of b-ball! Congrats to the Utes on their victorious run. MWC Tournament champs and a 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament! Keeping fingers crossed come tourney time though cause nobody looked that impressive. Thanks so much to Pop for putting the whole thing together and making sure it happened.

Ryler's New Favorite

He does this new smile where it gets so big it takes over his whole face. It's seriously hilarious.

Ice Cream Done Right

The only way I eat soft serve vanilla! Fill the bowl with sprinkles, throw in some ice cream, coat the top with more sprinkles. This particular dish was one of the best I've made.

Ice Ice Baby!

Vanilla in the flesh y'all! He was actually pretty well spoken and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Ever Since I Can Rememba

I been poppin' my colla!! What a little stud.

It's Official!

I am a University of Utah college graduate! I couldn't be more excited. What an awesome (and long) experience it was. I am so thankful to be done but I miss it so much already. I love being a Ute!

I Love Cartoons!

Ryler loves to just chill in bed watching SpongeBob while we get ready. Of course he's gotta be in control of the remote though.

Endless Summer

Ryler can't wait for summertime! He's a summer baby and can't wait to be back in board shorts by the pool and at the beach. Well it will be his first time this summer but he's pretty stoked about these new shorts.

Random Cuteness

Guys Night Out!

What a treat! Ryler, Grandpa and me all went to the Auto Expo! We saw some seriously sweet rides and Ryler was so fascinated with the bright lights and shiny cars. We had so much fun. I just couldn't decide, black or silver?

Chillin' With My Homie

Ryler got together with his good buddy Graham this weekend. They were a little weirded out by each other but they shared toys and blankets and got along great! You can tell they're gonna be good friends.

Doing It Dad's Way

I had a great time with my little buddy on Saturday! We stayed in our pj's half the day, ate without using napkins, then went shirtless the rest of the day! Haha, Ryler's gotta love time with Daddy, even if Mom isn't a huge fan ;)

Sitting Pretty

So our seating dilemma is solved! We found these gorgeous leather couches at Costco! Yea, Costco! There are 4 recliners built into those bad boys and they couldn't be more comfortable! Now we can have people over without being embarrassed when we ask them to sit on the floor! We're absolutely loving having a full family room now. A special shout out and thanks to Mom and Pop Bingham for making it possible for us to get these and Mom and Dad Castillo for making the delivery.

Sitting On My Own!

Oh my gosh this is HUGE! Little Ryler is sitting up on his own already!! He can't even roll his big body over yet but he's sitting up all by himself!! Oh my goodness we couldn't be more proud! We can't wipe the smile off our faces.

Oops

So we decided we needed some more seating options in our front room and wanted to get a new sofa loveseat set. So we put our couch up for sale thinking it would take a while to sell and we would explore our options in the meantime. Well our couch sold in 4 minutes!! So this is what our front room looks like now. Last night we had movie night on our floor! Kinda fun actually :)

Utes Roll Over Tide

Unbelievable! Absolutely insane! Words can't begin to describe the magnitude of the once in a lifetime moment experienced by the entire nation on Friday January 2! So I won't say much more about it except that Utah pulled back and punched Alabama right in the mouth and they never recovered! Utah completely man-handled what was supposed to be one of the most physical teams in the country. How absolutely embarrassing for Alabama, the SEC, and the rest of the BCS elitists! There was no doubt Utah was the better and more dominant team on the field. What an epic win for the Utes! Our pride is busting and flying furiously for all to see.

Up All Night, Sleep All Day

This little stud partied the night away and spent most of New Year's Day catching up on some much needed rest.

New Year's Rockin' Eve

What a fun New Year's Eve! We had Mom and Dad over and rocked the night away! It was a blast!

I'm A Rockstar!

Madi is a true rocker! She loves to sing and is SO good at it! She's got the rockstar attitude down pretty good too :)

Snow Day!

Talk about some serious snow fun! We made a giant snow shrek type creature that stares into our kitchen and a giant snow fort. And there's still snow to spare!

The Holidays Can Be Exhausting

All these new toys are just too overwhelming! I need a nap.

Christmas At The Castillos

If you've never experienced a Christmas at the Castillos, it's quite the adventure. Some of this year's highlights included a new sony blu-ray player, the hottest blu-ray discs out, a 22inch widescreen computer monitor, and oh yea a 1080p high def flat panel LCD. We are grateful and humbled by their generosity.

A White Christmas!

This had to be one of the snowiest Christmases in Pleasant Grove history! Turns out this was only the calm before the storm. The rest of the day was nothing but white-out blizzard-like conditions!! A white Christmas to be sure!

Bingham Family Christmas Eve Program

Starting off with some sushi appetizers then on to the main event, prime rib! After that, the annual Christmas Eve program. This is where we unveil the Bingham family motto for the year. This year's theme is "Hold On Thy Way". The evening is always very well put together and always a great time. This year was no exception.

Getting To Know Uncle Weirdo

Ryler got a good dose of his Uncle Jared on Christmas Eve. Not sure he knew what to think of him ;)

Harley Ryler

A special Christmas surprise for Grandma and Grandpa Castillo. The best part is we built our own little photo shoot studio in our front room!

Big Boy!

Does this diaper make me look fat?

Christmas Eve Brunch!

Starting a new Bingham family Christmas tradition. Brunch! Nothing like a tradition designed around food!!

Playin' With My Toys

Ryler really loves playing with all of his toys! Especially the one his big sister gave him!
