Here is a quick recap of the most current events in our family.

Kylie is taking swimming lessons! She is really enjoying splashing in the water and playing fun games with her instructor and the other little girl in her group. The night before the first lesson she said she will go to swimming lessons but she won't get in the water. After we disscused why that defeats the purpose of taking swimming lessons, the next day she did an amazing job. She is very brave and we are so proud of her!

Brayden, the big brother that he is, graduated from crib sleeping to a big boy bed. I thought this was going to be quite a headache, but he is adjusting very well to this change. He has been sleeping in the twin bed for the past couple of nights and today is his first nap in the "big bed".

Here he is reading a book in his bed before nap.

Kylie came in to give Brayden a hug and kiss before nap time.

Colton -- my sweet baby boy is 4 months already!!!.... I was beyond excited the other day when I layed him on the floor for some tummy time and he rolled right over as if it was no big deal. I was ecstatic!!! We had the well child exam yesterday, Colton weighs 17#6oz. and is 26 in. long, which puts him in the 90% for both weight and lenght. He is Mr. social, laughs, and grabs toys. His brother and sister spoil him very much!!!

Brett is 27!!!!

No ordinary day at THE OFFICE......
Brett's birthday was on Tuesday and since he had to work, i decided to make things a little more interesting for him. So, when Brett walked into his office on Tuesday morning he was surprised to find his stapler in....JELLO!!! We both enjoy and laugh-out-loud watching the hit TV show "The Office". This is one of the pranks that is frequently done on this show. It was meant to make him smile and of course, it did just that!!


Here it is...it looks nice with the candles around it
Ohh, and did I mention that he brought it home and I had to clean all the jello out of it....hahha, i am starting to think this joke is on me...j/k.

That morning I insisted Brett take the camera to work with him just in case something comes up... he was suspicious but not sure what to expect. Here he is after he found his "present". :)

Getting ready to enjoy his bday dinner - steak, sweet potatoes, green beans casserole.

Brett's gift from me and the kids was a couple of (very heavy) weights for his workout and a home cooked meal with all his favorites.

Happy Birthday dear Daddy!!!!!!

Of course no meal with all Brett's favs would be complete without his cake of choice --angel food cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream on top.....yummmm!!!

Flower girl

Kylie is going to be the flower girl in our friends' wedding in May! We had been looking for a dress for quite some time and when we finally found the perfect one, we had some issues with getting her size because they discontinueed this model. At last, the dress is here and we are ready for the wedding!!!! When the dress arrived, we got it out of the box, put it on, put a head band on, and snapped some pictures... It's perfect!
