Brynn's fun weekend!

This last Friday Travis and I went out on a much needed date. We went out for my late birthday dinner and some shopping. I started looking for a sitter a few days before. We got Amber N. for Madiosn and Zachary. She is great, and the kids love her.

We chose our good friends Jim and Beth D. for Brynley. It had been a few months since the last time Brynn was over there. But we knew that they would have fun!

They jumped at the chance to watch Brynn. Their one and only kid is serving a Chruch mission in Paraguay. So I knew they would enjoy having Brynn over!

I made sure to pack all of her favorite books and toys! She loves to read books! Beth probably read this one at least 10+ times!!

There is a heart cut out on each page and Jim put his eye there! Brynn liked to poke it!

She liked to share her doddy! Dogs are her new favorite thing!!

New buddy!

This pretty much sums up the evening!! Thanks again Auntie Beth and Uncle Jim!!









Easter and other Stuff!

Our dearest Brynley is 15 months old today! WOW how time flies!
She is full of spunk and personality. She LOVES Zachary! She cries when he leaves the room, he is the only one that can make her laugh! She loves books and one in particular, "I love you More than Anything!" We all take turns reading it to her. She get's mad when no one will read it! Madison has it memorized, so if Brynn is fussy Madison will start reciting the book and Brynn stops to listen!! 

This year for Easter I made the girls matching dresses. Well Madison already had her's and I found the left over fabric, so I made one for Brynn!! They matched from head to toe!! 

 Happy Easter!

Hard Work Pays Off!

This past week at school, Madison received an award at school. Each quarter

the school recognizes those students who have excelled academically. The give citizenship, great author, honor roll and student of the quarter! Madison has gotten the great Author award twice. She has such a vivid imagination when it comes to writing and telling stories. 

She never knows what she will get, it's a total surprise when her name is called. All the other awards had been given out and the only ones left were Student of the Quarter. There is one from each class, 3 for the whole grade level!!!

She was beyond excited to get it. She has been working really hard, and tries her best to be a positive person and always help others! We are so proud of her and all of her accomplishments!

This is quite the big occasion. Students from 1-3rd grades and parents!

You can almost feel her excitement!!!

Monster Jam

A few weeks ago on St. Patrick's Day, Travis took Zachary to Monster Jam! We has seen the commercials for it and thought that it would be a fun boys day! Zach was beyond excited to go and spend some time with dad! 

Zach thought that this was pretty cool!

Travis knew the people sitting in front of them. So they took a picture!

Walking.......sort of!

Brynn love the garbage can! No joke. Several times a day I find her going over to what is new! Gross I know! She must be fascinated with what we put in there! Anyway, Travis had just take the trash out and Brynley decided to take it for a walk! She won't let go and walk but she will push thing and walk behind them!

Well our little man is growing up! The school took these kindergarten graduation pictures a 

few weeks ago, and they were sent home last week. Zach sure has grown up this year! He likes school and has made lot's of friends. He still likes fire trucks and anything rescue related. When I asked him about these pictures he said that the gown was like putting on a Snuggie! 

He is playing soccer this spring and is excelling at it! He is really good, and listens well to his coach! He first game is on Saturday (pictures to come!). 

Zach is the comic relief in the house, and loves to wrestle with anyone who is willing! Including Brynn! She loves it!

He likes playing Nintendo DS, he is really good! It must be a boy thing!

We sure love this guy!

We are so glad that he is in our family!

Random.........

Well lately Brynley has become quite the adventurous baby! Well I guess she is a toddler now since she is coming up on 14 month next week. Anyway, she will follow anyone where ever they go. She hates closed doors, especially when someone is on the other side. Right now Zachary is the only one who can make her laugh on a regular basis.

She was not happy that Zachary was in the bathroom with out her!

Brynn also LOVES clothes! She will unload any basket with freshly folded clothes, or open drawers as she did here!! She went down the hall and when it got quiet I went looking for her and this is what I found!!

This past week was Dr. Seuss week at school and Madison's teacher read then "There's a Wockett in my Pocket." And the kids and to make their own made up character. Anyway, the kids voted and out of the WHOLE 2nd grade Madison placed 2nd!! There were only 3 chosen! We haven't see the picture yet.

In other news, I found a new recipe! It's Raisin Cinnamon Swirl bread!! YUM! It made the house smell so good. It's a keeper!!!


That's all for now. Nothing too exciting.
