Just a little trim.......

Audrey's hair before her "trim", I use that term loosely because as you notice she only took two inches off, but Audrey's hair is so long that you can hardly notice.

A possible future in Furniture making?


My Husband never ceases to amaze me with what he is able to do. We had received these slabs of wood from a friend and Jeremy like always envisioned something great for them! I do not have that ability to see something amazing out of a piece of wood, maybe that is why he is a home builder and I am not, because all I see is fire starter! Anyways, he made us this beautiful table for all our electronics /TV to set on, and of course he had help!
I am one lucky Girl!

Celebrating 2010.…1980's Style

We had a 1980's theme new years party at our house and to say it was fun is a slight understatement!
After having kids, New Years celebration seemed to be a thing of the past, so this year we thought it would be really fun to get to celebrate with friends on our terms! Our terms were; we have kids now, the thought of finding babysitters and places to go to celebrate new years is overwhelming, SO we decided we would throw a kid friendly party. Lets be honest the majority of our friends are parents and they have the same problems, sitters and such (especially since we all use the same few sitters on the crazy off chance we go out!) .
We set the clocks forward three hours in order for the kids to go to bed at a decent hour and also get to be apart bringing in the New Year, horn blowing and all!
The adults all came in their finest 80's attire, while the kids came sporting some crazy hats. We had prizes for outfits, way to much food, to much fun playing Guitar Hero and laughing so hard our stomachs hurt with good friends. The first annual New Years party was a hit and we are already thinking of next years crazy theme!
Did I say we had a GREAT time?
How can you NOT laugh when everyone looks like this!
This is what a playroom looks like when 20 little munchkins play in it!

Good Friends!
All I can do is laugh at this picture!

Braidens 6th Birthday Love Letter

Braiden,
You are turning into such an amazing boy! You have the biggest heart, Mommy and Daddy cherish that about you! You are always concerned for the outcome of others even when you have been hurt by them. You hold things in, you go along and never try to rock the boat, BUT, that doesn't mean that you aren't persistent! YOU ARE PERSISTENT! You have a memory like an elephant! You are a good friend and so outgoing! We get a laugh from you at least once a day, from a joke you have told or a "memory" that you think you have about "when you were 4" (everything is "remember when I was 4......."). We are so proud of all that you have accomplished this last year and the milestones that you have had!
We love you more than you will ever know Braiden Matthew! We could have never fathomed the joy that you have brought us the last 6 years! Thank you for being you and we can't wait to see what the rest of our years with you look like!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Braidens 6.... WHAT...HOW!!!

UPDATE: I FOUND PICTURES!!!


Yes, Braiden turned 6 December 29th. How does this happen, and better questions why can't I find any pictures, has this last winter been such a blur? YES...Yes it has. Braiden if you are reading this in 15 years, don't be mad at mom for not having pictures of your birthday! I know I have them somewhere, but where, I couldn't tell you. So, Let me recap it for you; You had a....surprise, surprise....TRAIN CAKE, you had all the people who love you come and help celebrate, and you got the Polar Express Train that you have wanted for the last 3 years.
