Garrett found this outfit.

Kaylee being helpful

Brent is the only one that lasted dying Easter eggs. He loved being by himself.

In front of my Mom's house

For Easter this Sunday we are going to be with my family at my Sister's house. This picture below captures my kids personalities. Garrett doesn't really care, not much bothers him, Kaylee is usually frazzled by the end of the day and Brent is calm and likes things in place.

It is 3;30 in the morning. For some weird reason the youngest 2 have been up and down for the last two hours, instead of feeling frustrated that I wasn't sleeping I decided to catch up on posting some pictures. Brent loves to build with Lincoln Logs. Most of the time a sibling knocks it down, but he is very patient.

Kaylee loves to be helpful. She loves to pour milk for Garrett, wash the dishes, help me cook and wipes off the table and counters for me. She is on her best behavior when she is busy.

I started thinking that I should document some of the things that my kids are doing right now so that Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles could get to know them better.
Kaylee and I are excited for Spring. She likes to help me water our plants. We hope they survive Garrett so we can transplant them outside.

Brent is really into OSU. One of his friends at school is really into it so he likes it as well. He loves wearing the colors and the shirts that support OSU

Garrett loves to have Chocolate Milk in the Morning. He doesn't love regular milk so chocolate works fine. Who wouldn't love that in the morning.

Kaylee loves to play with her dolls. She has two friends Merra and Kerra. They come to dinner with us, they play with her, they wake her up at night, sometimes they are 4 years old and sometimes they are her babies. It is very cute.

Garrett feels very big when I let him play on the IPOD. He loves pressing the buttons.

Kaylee and Garrett before church. Brent is harder to catch.

Garrett being silly

Valentines Day. Brent loves pancakes with Peanut Butter and Syrup

Garrett is our Ball kid. He loves balls and loves Jerseys. He would wear one everyday if he could. I told him to hold the ball so I could take his picture and he knelt down like Brent's soccer picture. He is a funny kid.

For Valentines Day we had a party for the little girls at my Mom's home. Kaylee felt left out with Brent having a party at school, so she was very excited when we she was able to attend one.

We played games and had fun treats.

I am always the one taking the pictures, so I finally had Ben take one of the kids and I so they would remember their Mom was around when they were little.

This Christmas brought some changes, great weather for us and fun times with family. We had to changed some traditions because my grandmother has to now live in an assisted living home. We usually have had Christmas at her house and everyone stayed the night. Last year Ben and I slept under her small kitchen table on a blow up bed that deflated in the middle of the night. The kids all had trouble sleeping and then to top it off, Brent came and threw up all over me about 4 in the morning. Honestly, I have great memories there and it is always different to change, but it worked out to be a great Christmas and we still got to spend time with our family. The kids loved the snow and we were able to play in it for several weeks.

This picture is before we went to a basketball game here in town. The kids had a really good time. Brent loved the nachos and concession stand, Kaylee loved the cheerleaders and Garrett, Ben and I loved the game itself. It was alot of fun.


Our family from Texas always comes for New Years. We love it when they visit.

Our family from Texas always comes for New Years. We love it when they visit. The kids celebrated the New Year around 7:00 and then went to bed. It was great for the adults.

All Kaylee wanted from Santa was a cheer leading outfit. Unfortunately it is already to small, but she wears it anyways

Garrett was just happy to get a ball for Christmas. He lives by them. Sometimes sleeps with them and always talks about them. It makes me so happy....

Our kids were in a Christmas Parade. Kaylee was an angel and Brent was a Wiseman. They loved it.

This is the kid's morning routine. They love sitting together and watching a few min. of TV before school.

All the kids came over after church on Sunday and Grammie wanted a picture of the grandkids. We told the kids that all she wanted for Christmas was a picture, so they sat for her.

Garrett can always make us laugh.

We sure love our Kaylee and her spunkiness

We are blessed this Christmas with great family and friends. My grandmother fell this last week and broke her hip. She will need some extra care now by living in an assisted living home. She has been a great grandmother to us and has a great sense of humor.
