Spring is finally here!

We got these little carts for the kids for their birthday's of course I picked them up at a Thanksgiving sale and so everyone knows with "my" brain I once again put them away and forgot about them so last weekend we were cleaning the patio off and I remembered so we got them out and gave them to the kids for their late birthday. :-)

Brailee's FIRST time outside playing this summer I think she is going to LOVE being outdoors she gets made when I take her in, she loves to go all over the place in the walker and she LOVES zoe her and zoe are buddies, I have nothing to worry about.

My kids started Spring Break on the 2 and 3 of april this year and we had many plans of easter egg hunts and birthday parties this weekend and then Grandpa decided he wanted to change that for us a little, no im kidding this is my grandpa stan and I love this man with all my heart, he has diabetes and it is slowly taking him down heal, he has had multiple heart attacks and 3 years ago we were told we would have 6 months with him and yet here he is still with us. He will never know what an impact he has had on my life, he is probable the most loveable, kindest man on earth the family has always said "The lord broke the mold after he made our grandpa" I've never known a more gentle person and someone who loves life and loves the lord like he does. We know our time is getting short with him and we are trying to make the best of it for the amount of time we have with him. I love you Grandpa.
I painted the kids room for their Birthday since the both have their own rooms now but im not finished decorating them but this is the colors they chose.... well ok Brayden didn't care but Brecken chose her own.

Kid's Birthday

WOW 9 year's! Boy how the time goes by so fast... it makes me want to cry. Brayden turned 9 this year and is going to be out driving before we know it. Brecken turned 7, and next year she will be baptized holy cow. They are two great kids I love them so much. Im not much of a journal writter I never know what to say other than I love them and im so greatful the lord has blessed me with these 3 wonderful children.

Brayden made his own Birthday cake this year he did a great job.

Brecken didn't want a birthday cake she just wanted "cupcakes"

She got her ears pierced in march so for her birthday she got a whole

lot of earings and let me tell you she is counting down the days tell

she is able to take out the originals and replace them with the fun

ones.

Birthday cont.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAYDEN AND BRECKEN!!!!
I took the kids to classic and let them invite one friend this year (cuz money is tight but I sure wish I could of taken a dozen friends they begged and begged but we had a good time with what we could do.) The kids had a lot of fun bouncing on the bouncer, playing bowling, and climbing threw the mazes

Breckens Mini Troyetts

Brecken and Kyrstin did the mini troyetts up at the high school and they went

for 3 days and then preformed for the parents on thursday night, it was really

cute, we didn't think Brecken would do it but she did we were so proud of her,

Kyrstin also did a awesome job at following the girls

Scouts

This week for pack meeting this man brought a valcan for the boys to see, they watched him feed it and it flew around the kids thought that was pretty neat.

This is a quilt Braydens (and mothers) made for scouts and they are

going to send it to haiti.

Our happy baby. I can't believe she is 9 months already.

Well after a week of begging for us to let her go get her ear's pierced we said ok and took Brecken to get them done, and as anyone who know's Brecken I was 100% right that I would be in trouble even though it was her idea. After being so excited to get them done when we got to the store she didn't want the lady's to touch her, after talking her threw it when all was said and done mom got the DEATH look from her and she was a little upset that it hurt like it did. But she was a trooper and they look darling.

She's happy now.
