Conner's First Birthday -- just in time for his Second :)

Sydney giving it her all!

Syd, you were one of the fastest ones! (she is the one on the right, in black pants).

We all love eachother

Ang and Walt. You did your first 5 K Ang! Way-to-go!

Mom "doing it!"

Sierra (yellow sweat shirt around her waist) - Go girl go!

Nate and Eve bust'n it to the finish line!!

Girl's Weekend - Sort of!

We all ran the Salt Lake 5k together, headed over to the "What a Woman Wants" and "Bridal Expo" at the Sandy convention center, then up to the St. Regis at Deer Ridge in Park City to soak our feet, eat some delicious food, and chat.

The other sister (Ashley) was busy with sick baby Havyn.

We all absolutely loved the resort - it has only been open since December.

Dad joined us for our room service out on the terrace.

The University of Washington is famous for its cherry blossoms. There were tons of people here taking pictures the day we went up!

Our family.

The lookout. By the time we got here, it was getting windy and cold. All the pictures of us, had hair whipping in our faces.

Mexico

Better late than never. Here are a few pictures from our Mexico Trip.

Girls and Dresses and Cade

Princess Makenzy -

Madalyn as Lucy in the "A Charlie Brown's Christmas." She did awesome. We've got video we need to upload. Notice the hat, mom, familiar.

Love these dresses!

Awkward arm, working on a better pic.

O.k. next post will have all the family. Cute, Cute, Cute. Thank you!!!

Chestnuts Roasting By a Fire

These two got out of the bath and were warming up "nakey" by the fire!

Halloween in Arizona

Conner was a horse for his first party.

Then a Halloween costume ghost came and transformed him into a fisherman and me a fish.

However, somehow the ghost missed Chris and he had to go as spiderman again... for the fourth year in a row. Bummer.

Hee, Hee,Hee, Happy Halloween

Conner Can Walk

Conner is a big boy now!

The Naughty Plan Has Been Hatched

AHHHHHHHHHH! Help us, please!

Yes, the naughty plan Conner helped put into play has been hatched (previously mentioned accomplice has fled to Phoenix pending future extradition back to Seattle). All stinkin cute kids will run the house! If your don't think this is true, please feel free to call and verify with anyone of the momma's of the stinkin cute kids.

Force no one I will to contribute to the blog. But a disturbance there is on the blog when all padawans and jedi do not add their 2 cents!

In other words, this is the BRUSIK BRAG not the Nikki and Yvette Brag, so the other 3/5 where are you?

Seattle Trip 2009

Conner waiting at the airport. This is his 8th time on a plane in 1 year.

He might as well apply for his pilots license.

Kenzie and Conner BFFs

I love you cousin. Camping together is SO fun!
Hey do you see that dog Kenzie? Too bad your mom says you can't have one. She must be really mean! I have three dogs... so I must have a super awesome mom!

Hey stop that we're in public Kenzie, and we're related!

What's the plan Kenzie? Lets go do something naughty while no one is watching.

Great idea Conner. I'll think up the plan.

Kenzie, I'm tried... I'll take a nap while you keep working on our 'naughty' plan.

I wish I had a baby brother mommy (White.) I'm so nice to babies, you can have just ONE more.

Pacific Beach

Nikki and Conner are bundled up because part of the weather during their fabulous stay was like winter for them, in the 60's. But they braved it!

The kids woke up early to head out while the tide was low and gather sand dollars. They also found bits and pieces of crabs, some whole and broken shells, and a jellyfish minus the tentacles.

If your with a Brusik, ice cream is probably in the menu somewhere. We walked to the vibrant (hee, hee) downtown area to buy a couple of shakes.

Makenzy and Conner loved the sand. We were hoping that Kenzie-Koo would teach Cougar to walk, but some regression back to crawling occurred.
