Round Two

This a picture of Round One 2008~ notice he is not in the water.....

We attempted swim lessons 1 year ago. Did not go so well! He spend the whole time watching from the wall.

But do you see the beautiful, brown eyed girl? This is the love of Jacob's life. Really just last week they talked on the phone for over an hour. He will do anything to be with her. Jacob is now a fish in the water. Thanks Eliana!

He likes to give her a call early in the week to make sure she will be there. See you Thursday Eliana!

But she has me for a Mom.....

Good Moms love to cook and bake for their family, right? Well poor soul, Brylee, who loves all things girly, got me for a Mom! Fun does not include spending time in the kitchen. What is wrong with me? I come from a long line of great cooks. Who knows?

Well Brylee loves to spend time in the kitchen. So for the love of Brylee and my husband I pull out the ever so handy "Joy of Cooking" cookbook.

Good thing the girl has Grandma's to teach her!

Yes she loves to be in "her" kitchen.

Look we did it! Maybe we will do it again next year!

Pie in the Face

Of course I forgot my camera, but Brett memorized the most bible verses last week (21 to be exact) and got to throw a pie in Commander Harvey's face. Of course this is the highlight of Brett's week! Brett is soooooo amazing!

"Really"

Go ahead ask me what I did on Saturday for 2 hours.......So glad you asked.

It all started when Talli's check engine light came on and had been on for a couple of days. If you are Talli this is not a big deal, if you are me this is huge, you do not drive around with that light on. Off we go to solve the mystery.... Talli in front, me following in the Tahoe so Brylee can nap in her carseat. 3 stops and 2 hours later we make it to Auto Zone. They diagnose her car.....guess what??? all she needed was to put on her gas cap.....you know the one she forgot to put back on a couple of days ago.

Note to Talli~when you get gas don't forget to put the gas cap back on~it can save a couple hours of frustration.
The girl cracks me up.....good thing she is my sister!

All I have to say is "Really"

Brylee's love for all things "Girly"

Brylee had a mishap with her pearl necklace at church~her pearls went flying everywhere and that left her with no necklace.

No need to worry.....Daddy brought a necklace home that belonged to her Great Grandma.

and she wears it daily.

Jake's new name is "JJ"

Jacob had a bit too much red kool-aid and these are pictures after wiping his mouth.

We call him "JJ"~short for Joker Junior from Batman. He loves his new name and look!

And of course when there is a camera in the same room as Brylee~she jumps right in to action.

Oh the Frog Pants!

I love the frog pants! Christy gave them to me before Brylee was even born. They finally fit. Thanks Zoe for sharing your clothes! I know..... she is on the dirty stove. What can I say the girl is fast and was not in the mood for pictures, and I had to have a picture in the frog pants!

Blast from the Past!

My little cartoon character!

Jake 2 years 8 months

Jacob's Broken Heart

"Mom, my heart is broken." "Why Jake?" "Brylee is crying and she is breaking my heart." These days Jacob has been having a sensitive heart. How sweet is he? I believe the translation is really.... please her make her stop crying she is driving me nuts. But I like the way he puts it!

The best kind of Camping....

No really the best kind, just the right temperature, no bugs, no outdoors. If you know me, then you know this is the only camping I do. Indoor camping!! Jacob was out cold in 2 minutes flat, Brett watched Shrek 3, and Brylee and I were awake until midnight!

Flat Brett

Meet Flat Brett. He traveled all the way to Arizona to spend some time with his Great Grandma and Grandpa. Looks like Flat Brett spent alot of time outdoors. All the students in Brett's class sent their flat selves all around the country. Then they all got to see all the wonderful places the flat people traveled. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for taking such good care of Flat Brett!
