Last Day of 3rd Grade

My Baby Boy is growing up way too fast!

Brett on his last day of 3rd Grade

6 more months

Brett 9.5

Jake 5.5

Brylee 3.5

My October babies are all half way to their next birthday. Time is flying.

Yes I'm still taking a picture of them every month. Have not missed one month!

A Princess at the Park

Brylee loves to wear dresses. She changes her clothes 5 time a day making for way too much laundry.

So when it was time to leave for Brett and Jakes baseball practices she of course ran up stairs to change once again to put on her baseball clothes.

1st Practice....

Jake's first baseball practice. Brett has been practicing for the last few weeks which made Jake super excited to finally start.

He is a sliding fool! The more sliding the better.

New Adventures

New Classes for the Little Ones at the Y
Brylee loving her new gymnastics class.

Jake a rock climbing fool!

Easter 2010

I love the special touch of naked Barbie and Spiderman band-aids on Brylee
New Easter Shirts from MiMi...
"Yes I'm a Princess my Father is King of Kings"

As you can tell Jake is very exited to have his picture taken.
"Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord"

"Jesus is the Rock on which I stand"

Right Most of the Time

Acrostic Poem by Brett

my favorite part

R is for RIGHT MOST OF THE TIME

Our Saturday

Our Saturday started bright and early and ended 12 hours later.

First we drop Brylee off at dance. I love that she has started making friends.

Next stop Swim lessons for Jake. He loves to swim!

Next Stop Candy Land Carnival at Brett's school. Lots of sugar, lots of games and lots of fun.

No pictures but next stop was going to a Great Big Mega church with Talli.

The kids loved it, even Brylee wanted to stay with the kids her age.

Brett said he had butterflies in his stomach with his excitement on his way to be dropped with the kids his age. Off course when I picked him up he was upstairs with all his new friends playing basketball.

Last stop playtime with the Clarks.

Best stop of all bedtime!

A Real Box Lunch

MiMi's Ballerina

Poor thing. Brylee only had 3 tutu's so MiMi took her to buy 3 more. She is modeling one of her new ones.

It makes for a hard decision on Saturday morning.

If only we loved closer...

Another visit with my Mom has come and gone. I wish we lived in the same town or closer so we could have more times like this.

The kids get excited and love when she comes to visit.

There is no one who I laugh more with.

She comes down, loves on and takes care of all of us.

We spent time at the Y, ate out, did whatever we could to spend time with Talli, shopped but most important spend time together and laughed until we cryed.

Love you Mom!

So I Never Forget...

It seems like everytime I blink the kids are an inch taller and a year older.

I want to freeze time and this is the only way I know how.

Brett is 9 years and 5 months old this moment in time. He loves 3rd grade and is working grade levels ahead of himself. He just plain loves life. He can walk into any situation and make friends with the whole room. He plays football, basketball and baseball and of course enjoys every moment because sports involve his friends. I was running on the treadmill the other day just lost in thought of how incredible it is to watch him grow spiritually. This year he has memorized more verses than I have in my lifetime. He can recite all the books in the bible in 55 seconds. He rocks! And is sharing God's word with his friends as we load up the car and head to church on Wednesdays.

He is really is the coolest kid I know.

Jacob is 5 years and 5 months this moment in time. He is Brett's clone and runs with the big kids. He is wise and has a heart of gold. He loves school most of the time unless he is in a bad mood and then threatens to drop out of preschool. He loves to take care of Brylee when Brett is in school and calls her "baby." He plays basketball and baseball. And surprising loves to take swim lessons even though Brett does not...usually he only likes what Brett likes. He gets nervous easily and if you know him he does the cutest thing with his mouth when he is nervous. He has a heart for the Lord and is the sweetest kid I know.

Brylee is 3 years and 5 months this moment in time. She is everyones princess and she knows it. She spends alot of time singing, spinning and dancing around the house. She loves all things, princess, barbie or polly pocket. She loves to wear dresses, paint her nails and put 20 clips in her hair. But can run with the boys. Brylee loves both her brothers and if her brothers allow she will play with them but if not she is stuck on me. She has the sweetest voice that will melt your heart. She likes to talks about Jesus and the other day told me "Mom the bible says Hallelujah and Amen."
She is the most adorable girl I know.

Mom's Day Out

Yea for Mom's Day Out~ 4 hours of swimming, eating luch, rock wall climbing and crafts. Jacob and Brylee are both going once a week but for whatever reason Jake would not let me take his picture. Brylee calls it Y school and is so proud she "goes to school"

I thought it would be bliss to come home to peace and quiet but of couse my four hours are filled with running around and getting things done.

I love it because they love it!

Grandparenting in the 21st Century

Distance...what distance? We may live 1000 miles away from MiMi but now she hangs out with us almost daily.

I love Skype. It has a been a great babysitting service. Brylee played Polly Pockets with her MiMi while I folded a load of laundry and finished dishes. Then my Mom watched the boys play Wii.
Fun stuff!

SEE you tomorrow Mom :)
