Favorite Friday "Foto"

Rotten Rotten Rotten!

Let me start by saying Brynlee LOVES her bath time. She squeals with excitement when she hears the bath water running. Then once in it she is a happy happy girl! So this morning I was getting ready for church, and then thought we were doing good on time and would give her a quick bath. First off for us to be running on time for church was a miracle in itself. Anyways I started her water and she got all excited!! Before I filled it I remembered I forgot her towel and did not want her to get cold. So I turned off the water and left the room to get her towel. The tub had no water in it so I knew it was ok to leave her. Next thing I hear is this big thud, then a squeal of delight. I knew before I came around the corner what I was going to see so I grabbed the camera. This is what I saw.................................................... She was very proud!!!

I mean really don't you take your bath in your pj's with your blankie! I am assuming the wet streak in her hair is where she made first contact with the tub!

My happy girl after her bath!

What a beautiful night!

My monkey in a tree! This is our favorite tree in the yard. It is bright red.
Brynlee loves to be outside. She was excited the dog was coming over to her. She loves her puppy.

Bryson took B on a ride.

Today was about as perfect as they come. The kids went outside to play after school. Brynlee just squeals when you take her out. We need to get all the playing in now because they are calling for snow showers by the end of the week, YIKES!! Thought you might enjoy a few pictures of this beautiful fall night.

Halloween Night

Costume shot!
Trick or Treating.

This is what you come up with when your child says at 5:00 "mom I don't really like the costume we bought what else can I be!" The same costume he begged me to get two weeks earlier at the store! Urgh! There was a little more to the bottom of the costume but "mother of the year" did not catch that. So I just sat here thinking should I make him or both of them put on their costumes again to get better pictures......................nope not worth the hassle!

We had a crazy Halloween night but managed to get a few pictures. Brock was a "Spartan Clown" who knew that even existed before 5:oo on Halloween! Brynlee was a very cute ladybug. We didn't get any good pictures of her because she NEVER stands still! Bryson didn't go to school so he didn't go trick or treating:-( He rode with dad in the combine!

Happy Birthday Hannah Beana Yakka Bozie!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Princess!!! It's official you made it to the double digits!!!!!! We love you and can't wait to see this weekend.

2008 Halloween Pumpkins!

We did our traditional carving of the pumpkins tonight. I am not sure what I will do when Brynlee starts carving her own. I love carving pumpkins! This is the first year I was a good mom and did NOTHING to the boys pumpkins and gave no instructions or "helpful tips." I think they turned out great! We had a great time until Brynlee tried walking off the deck then it was into the stroller she went. I am telling you she is going to be the death of me yet!!! I always laugh no matter how often I tell the boys to make them simple they always try and make them really detailed and then wonder why it takes them an hour to carve and me only 15 minutes. Enjoy the pictures and Happy Halloween!!!!!!!

Surprises are the BEST!!!!!

Brock's birthday is coming up and my grandpa and his wife decided to surprise him with a gift in the mail. If you know my grandpa you know he likes to practical joke all the time. I was a little nervous when he said have a camera ready when he opens it to catch his reaction. My first thought was some animal is going to jump out at him. Then Judy got on the phone and told me it was safe and I trust her!!! It came today in the mail and I knew by this time what it was. I had camera in hand and this is what happened....................

Thanks Buddy and Judy it was definately a HUGE hit!!!!!!!!

NOPE!

You guessed it the first day back at work and guess who called....................the middle school nurse. Yep Bryson got it yesterday. The only good thing, Tim is at home today around the farm and I don't have to stay home. We will try and do our pumpkins tonight. I am going to let Brynlee dig out her own jack o lantern! This should be a fun and messy night! I will try and post some pictures tonight! If not Happy Halloween Eve all!

Could it be.......are we FINALLY getting better?!!!

After one whole week of sick kiddos I think we are finally on the mend. We went from croup to a respiratory infection, to hand and foot with Brynlee. Then Brock came down with his own invention on Sunday. I think we are finally rounding the corner for home.......school is insight.......I can see it.......smell it........almost taste it!!!!!!!!! I can not wait to be out of this house for more than just a doctors visit! If Bryson gets sick I am moving out!
*Update- It is now 7:00pm and Brock has a temp again:-{ No school for him tomorrow. Guess I better charge the portable dvd player for the combine!

We were doing our happy dance of going back to school tomorrow. The jury is still out on Brock we are 16 hours fever free and counting! He can stay with dad and ride in the combine if he is home tomorrow! I am outta here!!!

My brother and his family came this past weekend so we had a little birthday party for Brynlee late Saturday night. She had a ball with Jack and Hannah. We did the traditional free for all with the birthday cake and lets just say she is a SUGAR girl! The pictures tell the story from the night! I attached a little video of the cake tasting!
