Clean, Super Sweet Smelling Kids

You may be thinking nice Mohawk Jake......Please do not make that mistake, he is a dinosaur, a stegosaurus. When you are 4 mohawks are not cool but dinosaurs are. I stand corrected.
Bath time is always fun.....but

all fun must end at some point, and that point in when there is no more hot water and you are shaking but still do not want to get out. Again hard to be two!

Oh how fun, Brylee's first french braid....oh how much fun it is to have a little princess!
Daddy's little love bug!


Nap???


No Sunday nap for this Mom, I love to wake up to these three faces!

A True Princess

Jacob made us a snowman with Mrs. Jennifer. He could not wait until Christmas!

Movie Night

Take a picture! They are not wrestling or fighting and are all laying down and being good!

Really???

The first one pictured is Bry. Brett found this picture and asked the question. "Mom is that how you and Dad dressed growing up? Like the pilgrims." How old does he think that I am? For the record I am still 29 for a few more months!

2 Boys and a Little Lady

It is really hard to study for Awana when you are a boy and there is a football in the room. Notice Brylee is the one holding the book. I think Brylee memorized more than the boys. Boys will be boys!

Good thing for little gloves


When you fall outside in the snow taking your big brother to the bus stop you must wear gloves around the house because your hands sure hurt when you fall in snow and a princess must never have cold hands.
But then you get dressed, brush your hair, and put on tons of lip gloss and feel so much better!

Talli turned 27!

When you come to my house and you are sick, even if you are the birthday girl, you must use hand sanitizer until your hands bleed. Poor Talli was sick so I met her at the door with this.
But then with this because I am nice and everything! (Just a side note I left the bottle out and Brylee possible ate 10, so because Talli is nice and everything she called poison control. Guess what? when you are 2 you can eat 10 and you do not have to go have your stomach pumped.) This must mean I no longer am in the running for Mom of the year.

Presents for Aunt Talli

The loot

This pie represnets 2.5 hours of my life. I do not enjoy being in the kitchen, but because I am such a good sister I went to the store 3 times and stirred the filling for an hour. And then let it cool outside so I could go to bed. I wonder if the neighbors noticed me sitting on the front step stirring something in a pot??? I will say I make good crust.

Brylee fed hers to her dog. Really she did!!!

Presents from Mom....Hope you feel better!

Oh my Goodness.....



I love her! She is just the cutest thing ever!

Don't forget....

WITH LESS THAN 2 WEEKS
before Christmas, REMEMBER:
Jesus is Better than Santa Santa lives at the North Pole. JESUS is everywhere. Santa rides in a sleigh JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water. Santa comes but once a year JESUS is an ever- present help. Santa fills your stockings with goodies JESUS supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart. You have to stand in line to see Santa JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. Santa lets you sit on his lap JESUS lets you rest in His arms. Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?" JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too . He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. JESUS has a heart full of love. JESUS offers health, help and hope. Santa says "You better not cry" JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you. Santa's little helpers make toys JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. Santa may make you chuckle but JESUS gives you joy that is your strength. While Santa puts gifts under your tree, JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in Christmas. Jesus is still the reason for the season.May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2008 And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year. 2009
from a cool forward

Conversations with Jake

Mom, "Where is heaven?" "No one knows Jake, but you will someday." "I know it is in space way up high." "Maybe you are right." "Hey Mom, God can't see me right now because I am in my costume." "He can!" "What??!! Oh, Mom I have to go pee that means He can see me go pee." Yep that's right Jacob." "Okay that's weird!"~ time passes. "Hey Mom, God can't see me when I go hunting."

My Precious, Special Girl

Feeling Girly

With all these boys in the house Brylee is still so girly. I found her in my closet lining up my shoes.

And then in my bathroom putting lipstick on!

"O" a good afternoon with Talli

The little kids and I spent an afternoon with Auntie Talli
Talli's first real meal at her new apartment. I love when she does the cooking and all I have to do is show up!


Picnic style.

Today it is snowing, yesterday was 65~perfect park weather.



Baby Girl!




Naughty and Nice

Jacob being the nice good boy, closes his eyes while I wrap Christmas presents.
I threatened Jacob that if he opened his present that I would take it back.
Look at the good boy behaving.

Now on the the naughty girl :) Have you ever been so mad that you take all your clothes off and cry as loud as you can to get your way. Well this girl does. Since I am such a good Mom I took a shower and left the kids down stairs. In 5 minutues this cute little girl opened the wrapped presents until she found one she liked. Jacob freaked out and stuck the presents she opened under the bed scared that Christmas may just be canceled because the presents were opened. Brylee is screaming "Booty, Booty, Booty" I will translate~ Beauty.



As you can see this is a picture very happy girl and probably a confused boy- as why I am not taking her present back. Sometimes it is very hard to be two. We have been very busy with "Booty" glitter glue pens!
