Why I love my kids...

So, Brooklyn caught Brayden's cold and was up a lot the other night, which made for a very tired Mom. After I put Brooklyn down for her nap, I told Brayden that he needed to be very quiet for his "Quiet Time" and not to wake me up while I took a nap. Well, I actually got a little nap in, and as I was waking up I heard little footsteps running into my room and back out. A few minutes later, there were more little footsteps and I decided to really wake up and open my eyes. This is what I saw.




"Mommy, I made you some ships to help you feel better." I love my boy!














This evening as I was getting dinner ready, Brooklyn was needing attention. I stuck her on the counter while I cooked and talked to her. Well, as I had my back to her, she decided to feed our little goldfish, Jeffrey. What would a one year old feed a goldfish? Goldfish Crackers of course. I don't know if this makes him a fish-cannible or not, but he actually really liked them.

Brooklyn, I love you baby girl!

oh that is so funny. I love your kids. Brayden was sooo cute helping his mommy feel better. That just makes me laugh. It's like I can hear his little feet running nack and forth. And Brooky, I love her too...taking care of the goldfish and all. I didn't know his name was Jeffery. I miss Fiji moto.

I love hearing about you're kids. Maybe next time we get together, you can have Brayden teach my kids about "mommy time". They don't quite get it! Brooklyn is getting so big, I can't wait to see her again!

Mini-Marathon

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

You can take the girl out of the country, but....

 ....you can't take the country out of the girl. My parents' have pretty much the coolest place to visit...well, besides the beach or Disneyland... so we always have fun going back home to the farm.  Grandma Marie Bramwell- 89 years old!  Double Rainbow! Sunset over the Snake River  The only reason he is wearing a helmet is because he had to for his scouting belt loop.  We had to fudge a little bit- it's his bike helmet.  Billy has learned a thing or two from me :)

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
