Brayden and Colby Skiing

Brayden and Colby are taking skiing lessons this year! They go every Saturday for 8 weeks - and absolutely LOVE it!

Headbands vs. Bracelets

"Why does Mommy have to always put these headbands on me...I wanna do it myself!"

" OOO...I like this purple Rambo one...."

"How does this one work..."


"Whoops! Hmmm...harder than it looks...."


"Almost got it, almost got it....."

"These look better as bracelets, anyway..."

Snow Day!

We got about 6 inches of snow last night! School was canceled and the kids were excited to have a snow day!! Bob is in Vegas for work and so he left Brayden in charge of clearing the driveway. He was SOO excited! After one swoop down the drive he realized that playing in the snow was much more fun! :) Boys in the snow

This is all that got shoveled before he gave up!!

Our snowy back yard

18 Months

Lily is 18 months old already! It seems like yesterday that I gave birth to her!! She has brought so much joy to our family. One of her favorite pastimes these days is putting on mommy's shoes! It is so cute how much she LOVES shoes! I go down a shoe Isle at a store and she takes off her shoes frantically, saying, "shoe, shoe!" because she wants to try on all the shoes!! This was last Sunday after church - she looked so cute walking around in my shoes!

Putting shoes on mommy (another fav)

"Where did the other shoe go?"

Missing Tooth

Colby lost his first tooth the 5th day of school! He got a little treasure chest from school to put it in. He looks so cute with a missing tooth! :)

First Day of School

Brayden's first day of third grade was Aug 3rd!! Colby had a Kindergarten evaluation that week, then started on Aug. 10th!! I can't believe my boys are so big - my how time flies! My cuties in our front yard.

In front of their school - Brayden trying to act all cool. :)

Silly time!

Brayden went to play on the big playground while I stayed with Colby and waited for the bell to ring....It took Colby all of 2 seconds to throw his backpack down and run to the playground!

Getting in line - Aww, he already made a little friend!

Lily (Our neighbor and carpool partner) and Colby got to sit next to each other! He was so excited!

Brayden's Baptism

Brayden got baptized August 1st! It was so nice to have family come celebrate this special day with us! I am so proud of Brayden for his choice to be baptized and for the sweet boy that he is! We love you bunches!!
