My Brother

A couple of weeks ago my brother, Josh, came to my mom's for a visit..so we headed that way to see him. It had been over a year and a half since I'd seen him..crazy! It was so much fun to hang out with him and catch up. I love my brother!

My kids love him, too.:)

My Cute Kids

Th other day we found Bradley in the kitchen making a snack for Ena. He was so cute explaining how to make his original snack...so I had him recreate it for the camera...I especially loved the ending...

Here is the finished product...

Our little Ena loves to dance. We were listening to Christmas music the other night and she grabbed Mike and said "Dance Daddy!" As they were dancing she starting doing little rainbow hand motions.:) Too sweet not to catch on camera...

Girls Day Out

Ena and I had a fun day out shopping and eating ice cream. :) I love having a little girl.:) We had so much fun! When I asked her if she wanted chocolate or vanilla she said both.:)

The best part was that she wore big girl underwear almost all day! She is getting so big. I love spending time with her. She has the best personality and is so funny.:)

Mike and I decided it was time for Bradley to have a new snuggle bug...Mazi. We are on night three and things are going well. I think they both like the company. Mike peeked in the first night to check on them and Mazi started growling and barking..I was impressed with her watchdog instincts.:)

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving started out with Bradley's Thanksgiving play. It was so cute.:) Bradley did great! Here is a video of him performing..

We spent Thanksgiving Day with Mike's dad in a small town in Kansas. It was a lot of fun! My kids had fun playing on the farm with 13 of their cousins.:) They fed the cows and had a hay ride and played in the dirt.:)

Corey and Bradley

Ena and Kayla

Mike and Bradley with our nephews, Jeff and James.

Mike showed Bradley the "secret tunnel" that he used to play in when he was little.:)

Bradley said this was his favorite part of the whole trip!

We spent Friday and Saturday with Mike's mom. Her dog, Muffin just had puppies. They were soooo cute! Ena loved them. She did really well with them until we found her giving them a "bath" by dipping them in their water bowl...

These last couple of pictures are just random..

It's been sooooo cold lately(I am not a big fan of cold) I'm the fire lady in our home so I've been making lots of fires trying to stay warm...

I think this picture is so cute...it represents my kids perfect...I am so thankful these are my kids.:) I love being their mom!

Picture Tag

I was tagged by my friend Kychelle. Here is what I'm suppose to do...Post a picture from my computer. It has to be the 4th picture in the 4th file. Give a little explanation of what the picture is. Then tag 4 people.

This is Bradley in 2005 in an old scary boat that Mike's brother gave us. Bradley loved being on the boat but I seriously feared for our lives the whole time! The boat would die all the time so I was always trying to prepare myself to have to swim to shore with a 2 year old in an alligator filled Louisiana river.:) Thankfully it always restarted..after many prayers..and we survived.:) Needless to say we no longer have the boat.

I tag Amber, Ginger, My Mom, and Brandi :)

Ena's Hairdo

I french braided Ena's hair today! It was so cute..for awhile anyway..it was crazy by the time we left church.:) I haven't had too much practice with braiding but I look forward to a lot more.:) I love having a little girl.:)


While I was braiding I noticed a really short chunk of hair..it in the weirdest place..it was near the middle of her head and thankfully not on top so I think we can keep it hidden. I asked Bradleyif he knew anything about it and he says he didn't do it...

Bradley's Hairdos

This past week they celebrated the 5oth day of school by dressing up like the 5o's. So we slicked back Bradley's hair rolled up his pants and sleeves..he was one cool dude.:)

But by the time he came home his hair had decided to rebel against the gel..

I noticed how long it had gotten so we took him for a hair cut..here he is showing it off in a red power rangers costume..

Bradley left me this message today...

I really love you too, Bradley!
