Mother's Day 2008

Pictures of Aunt Jenny and Cousin Ashleigh on Mother's Day.

WE'RE DEBT FREE!!!

As of May 9th 2008 with all glory given to God this household is debt free with exception to our house. Bryan and I paid off $44,000 in a little less than 19 months. The crazy thing is that it was not hard just common sense. We will continue to live like no one today, so we can live like no one tommorow.
Thanks to my Dad for recommending Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace book. It has changed our lives forever! Thank you!!!!!!

Fun in the Mud and Water

If there is a puddle of water the boys will find it. Brett off course was first in but it did not take long for Jacob to join in the fun.

Brylee Playing Mommy.

Brylee is starting to play more with her baby dolls. A couple of weeks ago after her nap she was sitting in her crib and somehow took the dolls head off. She was very upset and kept touching her head and saying "uh oh."

Messy Saturday!

Once and a while I let the kids get really messy. They love it.

Way to go Brett!

Brett finished his second year of Sparks in Awanas. He memorized 56 bible verses plus finished a workbook. He definitely has a gift for memorizing.

Rockstar Dancing Party

Nothing better to do at 11:07 at night. Two late naps equals a dancing party. Jacob is pretty sure he can only dance if he is wearing sunglasses.

Can a girl have too many shoes??

Well maybe in this case. So you don't have to count there are

38 pairs. With two missing that makes
40 total. The good news is that Brylee
has shoes that will fit for the next year or so.

Shopping Cart Rides!

Riding in Style.

More New Shoes!

More new shoes for Brylee girl. Well new for her. Of course I only paid $1.00 for at a garage sale. She sure loves them. Click on the picture to see the sparkles on her shoes and the sparkle in her eyes!

Jake the Honey!

Once in a while Jake will put down his lightsaber and show his softer side. He was doing a very good job taking care of Brylee's baby dolls!

The Jewell Street Neighborhood Gang

Everyday after school all the neighborhood boys show up at our house. This is the hightlight of Jacob's day. Poor Brylee is the only girl! She sure tries to keep up with all the boys. There are even a few kids missing from the picture. Summer will be a blast!

Little Miss Sunshine

Brylee spent too much time outside on Saturday with no sunscreen. So we went to Sams Club yesterday and stocked up with sunscreen! Lucky for Brylee her little burn turned into a tan.

Climbing, Climbing and More Climbing!

The neighbors trees are a favorite hang out spot for all the neighborhood boys. Poor Jake is too short to climb the tree but he sure can climb the swingset with Brett. At least once a week Brett comes home with rips in his clothes from climbing the trees!

MiMi comes to visit!

Thanks for coming Mom! We miss you. Come back soon! So much fun!!!

Brylee's first time to wear lipstick!

Brylee was so proud when she came out of the bathroom. Doesn't she look beautiful?

Brett's Spring 1st Grade Picture.

Brett's Spring Picture. They get you everytime. They send the pictures home and you buy what you want and send back what you don't purchase. Had to buy them all! Isn't he handsome??

Brett loses a Tooth!

Brett lost a tooth and in this family that means we eat spaghetti so the Brett can slurp up the noodles. So much fun! Don't worry Aunt Talli got her fair share. She never misses a bowl of spaghetti.

Brett's last Basketball Game of the Season!

Brett had his last game of the season on Saturday. He shoot two baskets! Next Saturday Brett and Jacob will start swimming lessons.

Brylee and her Love for Shoes!

Brylee got new shoes for the summer. She loves them. I keep catching her checking them out!

Jacob in time out!

Jacob fell asleep in his time out! Sometimes it is so hard to be 3.

Happy Valentines Day!

Brylee is 16 months old!

Brylee is now 16 months old. Time is flying by. Notice that even with her pajamas on she has to wear her shoes. She even sleeps with them on!
