April 2009

Brett worked really hard and was awarded his Wolf patch at the Blue and Gold Banquet. He was forced to drink Wolf blood... lol
Sadly we said goodbye to our great friends "The Eastley"





Easter Egg Coloring Time



Easter morning.....I didn't document Easter very well this year, no pictures in their Easter outfits, what was I thinking??????

Brett's 9th Birthday party. They played kick ball, baseball, football, and had a water balloon fight. It was a lot of fun and we had about 16 boys come for the party....good times :)

Brett started Baseball season! Brett is doing so good, he's #3 in the batting line up he says it's his favorite sport......we'll see what he says when football season comes around again. His team has played about 13 games and is still undeafeated!!! Go Red Wings!!!!!

Blake played the part of the Analyst in his 1st grade weather production last week, he did so good and memorized all his lines!!!

I'm Back!!!

March was a pretty good month for us. We enjoyed lots of family visits. My mom came for 3 weeks with Emmalee. We all loved having them here especially the kids....Braden is still asking for them. Ray and I were able to get away for a weeks together to Washington D.C., Southern Virginia and Maryland. It was such a great trip. We feel blessed to have been able to go together...thanks MOM!! You're the best. Here are some pictures of our happenings :) Cheers!



Lots of play time at the park.

December 2008!


December started with decorating and putting up the abnoxiously large Christmas tree. Pretty but, it's a 4-5 hour project.

Ray celebrated his 21st birthday!! HEHE
Breanna and her friends kicked off Christmas vacation with a party!! Girl Power!
Family Arrived!! Here's Bre with Grandma Lindsay
Here's our family at the Landmark restaurant. Really good food. A little fancy at night with kids...hence they put us in a private room. I'm pretty sure it was for the benefit of the other guests :) Needless to say we still left a impression.....about 5 minutes before this photo Braden very slyly and sneaky I might add stripped down to just a diaper and ran into the main dining room with a smile and a laugh!! It was definately a FUNNY/embarrasing moment, it's too bad I was in such a hurry to stop him that I forgot to grab the camera. Next time :)
After the Landmark we headed down the street to see the lights at the temple...so pretty and quite fun. Braden fell into the pond about 2 minutes before this photo and was shivering....poor baby.

Me and Ray @ the Temple :)
Brett and mom....such a sweety
