Thanksgiving

We went to my brother BJ's house. He and his wife, Andrea, just had a baby in October. We had so much fun hanging out with my family and their new baby. Our kids could not get enough of little Oaklee. They all did very well with her and loved holding her! She is such a cutie and we can't wait to see her again. Caitlyn especially thinks we should have another baby. However since this is not an opiton she thinks we should adopt!! Crazy huh! I told her we just get our baby fixes from other people now...neighbors, relatives, friends. Thanksgiving was great. Andrea's family is so welcoming and treat us just like family. We had a nice break from life and just hung out. I wanted to try and get some photos of the kids for Christmas cards this year so I was getting ready to go and my brother decided he would do it. He was so good with the kids and they loved it. He is a character. It is hard to get 4 kids to cooperate but we will take what we can get...plus it was the coldest day there when I decided to do it, not when it was 60 degrees! We made it home safe and sound but are so glad we got to spend some time with my brother's family...it has been too long! I love the Holidays!

Flag Football

Brenden is in 3rd grade and this is the year he can start to play organized sports. He was hesitant at first but decided to give flag football a shot. It was a short season but he enjoyed it. He needs a few games before he is confident and comfortable in the game so it is too bad that it was over before we could blink. He had fun and said he wanted to play again next year. We play catch and he got a new football for his birthday. It is fun to see his competitiveness come out. I enjoy watching our kids grow and play sports. I hope they keep it up so it gives them something to do in High school instead of getting in trouble!

Halloween 2009

I am a little late getting these one, but what can I say. We have been busy. Caitlyn didn't want to dress up...she's getting to that age....but I turned her into a Bulldog fan! She was fine with it. Brenden was a vampire, he looked pretty good. He did all his own makeup. Adessa wanted to be a corpse bride. At school she didn't have the white paint and just wasn't satisfied but she looked good. Her flowers had spiderwebs and a spider in them. Carter was a magician. He was the cutest ever. He had a rabbit hidden in his hat and could do a magic trick but never would...too shy! He said people would laugh at him but in reality were laughing at his trick. Hard to explain. It was a pretty uneventful Halloween. The kids got tons of Candy.

Carter FInally Did IT!

Carter finally did it! What is it you may ask....well we have been trying to build up confidence to swim with floaties on his own. We have completed two summers of swim lessons and with no luck. We have been swimming numerous times and he literally clings on to me for dear life. We watched countless peers jump in, swim around, and NOT SINK! I kept reassuring him that mommy wouldn't let him sink, or lie to him but he would not budge. I was getting frustrated every time we would go swim because he wouldn't do anything, freaked out every time I tried to show him, etc. However today while everyone else was busy Carter and I went swimming at the pool. I put on his floaties and added my aqua belt. He swam with me for probably 10 minutes and I talked him in to trying! HE DID IT! He swam all over the place! He loved every minute of it just like I knew he would!! When we finished he told "Mom, I am so brave!" I couldn't of agreed more! When he told Adessa what he did she replied "Wow Carter! You are getting to be such a big boy, a big big boy, a 5 year old boy!" (he turns 5 in Feb) I am so glad we went today! We sent a video to Dad, Grandma and Aunt Tracy to show off! He was so proud of himself, and smiled the whole time!

Brenden's 9th Birthday!!

Brenden's birthday was two days after Dessa's so we have been busy...but it has been fun. We had a crazy week with football so we had a family party with cake and all the fixings and then he had a tiny treat on his actual birthday. He had his friend birthday party Saturday a few hours after Adessa's. It was a fun filled day. Brenden is a good boy, he loves to read, he loves facts (he must get this from his dad) and if he wants to can be very helpful and nice. We are so happy to have him in our family! Happy B-Day B!!

Adessa's 7th Birthday!

Adessa turned 7! She had a week long celebration. We started celebrating with family, they she had a special treat on her actual birthday since the week was insanely busy. She ended with a friend birthday party this Saturday. The girls had a blast, they enjoyed crafting and all got a long really well. Adessa is so excited to be 7. We are so lucky to have her as part of our family! Happy Birthday Dess!
