My little Sam laughed for the first time today when I blew raspberries on his tummy. It made my heart happy.

One thing I love about little boys
No one needs to tell them what to do, they just know how to play cars.
A set of wheels and an imagination is all they need.
Resolute
For our family night this week we finally sat down and talked about some of our goals for the upcoming year. Sadly, this is all we came up with. But a short list means we are more likely to accomplish the things on it, right?
(ok, I cheated and put Sam's goals down for him. Wade's not particularly thrilled with his either.)
Woody Boots
Wade adores Woody from Toy Story. He has nick-named his cowboy boots as his Woody boots.
He wore his Woody boots today. I had taken them off and set them on the floor during his nap. Just after he woke up, he was laying on his bed and he spotted the boots on the floor. After studying them a while, he turns to me and says, "Mom, there's a snake in my boots!"
I laughed so hard I cried.
2 months
My sweet Sam is 2 months old today! He is smiling and cooing at us more these days. He also occasionally finds his fist and goes to town on it. Now if we could just get him to burp after he eats instead of spitting up 2 hours later...
Three
(i'm three)
Accomplishments in my third year:
Learned how to go to school
Got a dog
Got a big boy bed
Learned to swim
Learned to love to jump off grandpa's boat
Got a little brother (he's so cute)

Learned my letters and most of my numbers
Caught my first football
Figured out how to open presents
Learned to talk
Went poops on the potty
Made my first snowman
Picked my favorite sport (football, obviously)
Shoveled my first driveway
and much more that I probably forgot.
Here's to another year even better than the last!
Sam's Special Day
Little Sam was blessed in Church this past Sunday. We were lucky to have so many family members attend because they were in town for the holidays. It was a beautiful day and we were so happy to spend it with so many people we love.
Merry Christmas 2010
We didn't get to sending out Christmas cards this year, so here's our digital apology. Here's hoping that all of you had loved ones near and were able to spend and enjoy the time together, and that each of you enjoyed your Christmas day as much as the four of us did. Merry Christmas to all!
Love the Broadbents
6 weeks
My little tyke is 6 weeks old today! My how time flies. He has chunked up quite a bit in such a short time and is starting to develop the same spitting-up habits his older brother had. He is also honoring us with a few half smiles that just melt my heart. I am so in love with this little boy!
Girl Party
On Saturday we had a girl party. And to make sure no boys would be tempted to bother us, we went to see the Nutcracker. It was Elsie Lou's first time to see a ballet and she was in love...as was my amazing mother who used to dance in the Nutcracker. It was a delightful afternoon and we hope to do it again soon.
Christmas Lights
My whole family was able to go together to see the lights at Temple Square this year. We survived the cold and didn't even lose anyone. I love these cute faces!
Once there was a snowman...
Phil and Wade built their first snowman ever yesterday (first for both of them). Wade named him Frosty. Unfortunately, the dog saw that they used a carrot for his nose and demolished Frosty as soon as Phil and Wade turned their backs. Sorry Frosty, hopefully you can come back to play next year!
Here Comes Santa Claus
When did it become so expensive to have your picture taken with Santa? At least it turned out cute! Wade actually knows who Santa is this year and was so excited to see him. Sam wasn't quite as convinced, but played along anyway.
Monday Night Cookies
Since the Patriots were blowing out the Jets, we decided to make some gingerbread cookies. Wade preferred to eat the m&ms.
Week 3
Mr. Sam has been with us for 3 weeks now, and I can't believe how much he has changed in such a short time. He's already up to 9 pounds but is still a sweet baby. Maybe I'll be lucky and have another good natured little boy (knock on wood).
I have to say that child #2 is MUCH easier than #1. I don't feel like I'm going to break him this time around! 
(He is definitely starting to look like his big brother)
Daddy's Helper
It snowed today...quite a bit. Wade really wanted to go outside and help his daddy shovel the driveway and we were happy to oblige. He's such a cute little helper, insisting he didn't need any help!
Week 1
To celebrate Sam being with us for a week, Wade decided to get an eye and ear infection...so much fun. Luckily, he is taking it like a champ and doesn't even mind that I make him wash his hands every 10 minutes. He absolutely loves his little brother, usually asking to see him first thing in the morning.
Sam has been an angel, making it pretty easy for me to take care to two kids...for now anyway.
