Date Night

There is nothing more special than a Daddy and his Daughter.

Bryan makes sure that he takes his baby girl out for a date every so often.

Brylee's goal for her date was to look 5 keep in mind she is 4.75 years old.

Pretty easy goal to accomplish.

It included:

A pony tail with two rubber bands

1 Barbie head band

Her favorite dress

Her new earrings

1 gold necklace

1 cupcake ring

1 homemade bracelet

Sparkle lip-gloss

1 homemade tattoo of a scary monster

1 Star Wars tattoo...she does have brothers

and her most Fanciest High Heels

I do believe she accomplished her goal of looking 5 year old.

It is off to Applebees for strawberry lemonade and mac and cheese and then Target to buy a coloring book.

Brave Brylee

Brylee had her ears pierced today!

Many times she has walked into Claries but changed her mind.

We walked past Claries today and she said she was ready.

Told Brett to give her high five and jumped into the chair.

Her eyes were huge when they shot the guns, I thought she was going to cry....but no tears just a huge smile when it was over.

The look of oh my that hurt....I wanted to scoop her up in my arms :(

Looking at her brothers to see what they think....So proud!

Wichita Bound

After just under 2000 miles and 9 crazy fun filled days in Kansas this is how I felt.

I love being in Wichita! It feels so right to be there. Guess I am still homesick!

Talli is back in Wichita we I got to help her finish moving into her apartment. My Mom met us in Wichita and below is some of the fun we had.....

The last morning together.

I seriously miss Trenten and Trever. I hope they will be friends forever.

A super fun Grandpa

Jake trying to get Grandpa's money out of the jar

Dropped by the Merrimans in our pajamas and got to catch up with my amazing friend Rebecca.

Sibling Love

I love walking in a room and all three of my kids are playing together.

The brothers were helping Brylee organize her cards.

She may never win a pokemon card game because she only collects the cute cards but she does it to be with her brothers.

My loves.

Brothers for life.

Out of the Mouth of Brylee

"Mom how do you grow on your birthday?"

"Never mind I know Jesus stretches us."

Good to know Brylee :)

4th Fun

4th Fun....well kinda of.

The kids had fun with the fireworks that we bought. Brett had fun lighting them.

But we were the only one in the neighborhood shooting them off. The only ones!!!

We all agreed that we missed the 4th fun that we had on Jewell St.

My Biker Girl

Now she can keep up with her brothers and neighborhood friends!

Kansas Company

Our favorite couple come to visit from Kansas.

I loved it!

The first night there was a power outage so Brett and Travis filled the night with Connect 4.

Travis of course practiced his mad Connect 4 skills on Brett.

Oh and roasting marshmallows by candle light.

Bryan and Travis fished for hours on end but brought back enough for a fish fry.

Rachael and I went for morning runs and got to hang out with our kiddos!

Thanks for coming to visit us!!!!
