Resurrection Eggs....

We had a great time dying eggs together. You know we layed out all the newspaper and threatened the kids with their lives and who was the one to dump out the blue die??? That would be Brandon!!

Ben's school concert

Unfortunately my camera did not do well in this lighting. So this is the only picture that turned out! Ben did a great job at his singing performance "Music in our school". He really got into it and it was fun to watch the songs he has been singing for weeks around the house!! We all knew the words ;)

2 down a few more to go....

Another tooth gone!! I'm going to need to get a loan to keep up with our tooth payments!!

Funny Makenna...

So this story I wasn't sure if I should post about but it is too funny not to and it is something I don't want to forget!! It is a tad embarrassing for me but I'll take one for the team :)
So I am getting out of the shower and Makenna just stops and looks at my chest and says "Wow, mom what are those?". I say "those are breasts remember?" she says, "oh yeah to fed babies right?". I say, "yes sweetie" then in her super excited voice she says,"breasts are so wonderful!". I'm trying not to laugh but am not doing a great job and I say "well I'm glad you think so, you'll have them some day" she clasps her hands together and says, "oh mom I can't wait!!" I died laughing!

A day at the park...

Honestly this is one of my favorite pictures. Makenna is so blessed to have the two older brothers that she does. No one could ever love her more or take care of her better than them.

Another cute one. They can have great days together like this day or drive each other completely insane! (that is Makenna's hiking injury on her chin, pretty good one too!)

My little cuddlier. Always snuggling in next to me where ever I am! I have to remember to relish these days because soon snuggling won't be at the top of his list anymore.

Toothless Brayden!

His first lost tooth! Boy was that work! His teeth don't nearly come out with the same ease as Ben's have in the past!! But with a little elbow grease from good ole' mom we are good to go :)
He looks so grown up and I really can't believe how fast he is growing and changing these days!

My Valentines....

Every Valentines Eve Brandon and I write on paper hearts things that we love about each of our kids. We then put them on their wall so when they wake up they are reminded of how much we love them! I love this tradition and plan on doing it even when they are grown and out of the house ;)



They got these wonderful stuffed animals from Sue :) They love them!

And Grandma came through in a big way with this 3 pound chocolate heart!! Look at his excitement!

I went in and helped in both kids classes. Ben was not so excited when I pulled out the camera in case you couldn't tell.

Brayden and Makenna didn't mind the camera so much, LOL :)

This holiday is right up Brayden's alley. Get candy from your family and friends and get to eat it all day long!! Nothing says love like 3 different kinds of Fun Dips!
