3rd Anniversary!

So this was way back on April 8 and you'll have to check the Family Blog (brandenandmindy.blogspot.com) for a rundown of that day's events including being sealed in the temple as a family! I don't have those pics on my phone but check out the family blog for that. This was where we spent the night at Castle Creek Inn in the Romeo and Juliet suite. All planned and set up by Mindy. Very romantic :)

Birthday Brothers

These guys are pretty tight buddies. Sharing a birthday will do that to ya.

Conference Weekend

Conference weekend is always a pretty big deal at the Bingham house thanks to Mom. This conference was no exception. Conference journals, packets, treats, and of course the traditional eggs benedict breakfast brought to you by Dad.

Priesthood Session

The message was great, but sitting in BYU's basketball arena was a little uncomfortable ;)

Doing It Myself!

Ryler loves holding his own bottle now. Pretty dang cute.

What Ya'll Lookin' At?

Nap Time

Snuggled up in some Utah love :)

Cillin' With My Boy

Ryler loves being on his tummy now! He's a rollover champ!

Gettin' The BBQ Ready

Getting geared up for Spring and all the bbq's we'll be having! I LOVE a nice Summer, Spring, or Fall bbq! We always start out doing like 4 a week, then we burn out a bit ;) It will be even more fun this year because Ryler can roam around the yard and put all the random trash that blows into our yard in his mouth! Hahaha, we'll have to watch for that.

So Sad

Utes have never looked worse! Can't buy a wide open 3 with an AIG bonus, more turnovers than a McDonalds 2 pie breakfast and a defense that couldn't stop the lady Utes. The picture is not meant to blame Luke. He was in foul trouble all game. My son could have made at least half those wide open 3's from the corner and he's 7 months old! Just sad.

Utes Worth Watching?

Watching the game with my little buddy. But with the way the Utes are playing right now I can't blame Ryler for falling asleep!

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 :)
