Bryden's birthday party

 We had a fun birthday party for Bryden at Little Monkey Buziness.  We know how easy parties are to throw there so we just keep coming back!

We got haircuts before the party, so both boys have blue hair:)

I can't believe he really is 2!

 Sweet little princess

 Good shot of the blue dos

 She made it to the top!

 My sweet birthday boy, I could squeeze him forever

 I love that my kids are best friends with my best friends

 Bryden and Grama Debbi

 Another of my besties:)

 And Brilee Grace and her bestie, Bria

Such a fun party and way to welcome the terrible twos!!! Oh wait, we're already there!

Wrapping up January

These are all just a bunch of pictures I found on my phone.

My 3 boys and their matching Jordans they got for Christmas

Brennar started basketball for the first time this year.  I was against it, mostly because he is so tall and skinny I don't feel like he has the best control over his body, but surprisingly he has done pretty good.  He definitely has a long way to go, but boy is he good on defense, the kid he covers, never gets the ball.

Daddy is coaching and sponsoring the team, so we thought that Brennar deserved to pick out the first jersey and he chose #1

It just breaks my heart that my kids don't like each other, I mean really, neither of them look like they are enjoying each other one bit

Brilee's back teeth have always been a little weird, so the dentist thought we should put fillings in them to protect them from getting cavities in the baby teeth as well as the teeth underneath.  She did pretty good, but the laughing gas had her arms and legs doing crazy things

Brexten and his best friend, Cooper, 2 months apart

my little bronco "cheeser"

I love when he falls asleep on me

He is getting big enough for all of the toys we have, he loves the exersaucer

He wanted his picture taken laying on the stairs, silly boy

New Years date night

Daddy let Brilee paint his toes, she has a way to go, but they both had fun none the less:)

Brilee is always touching Brexten, in the car, on the floor, anywhere, she adores him

He was exactly 4 months here

How did I get so lucky???

Me and the big kids sporting our Team Kelsey shirts!

Poor middle child isn't the baby any longer, but tries to be when he gets a chance

My whole world all on one couch:)

I have no words....

I am so grateful that my one little girl is so very girly.  She either has a dress or skirt on every day, or a ballet outfit. Or even a real princess dress

Bryden is the best, he is naughty and sweet all the time, I just want to take a bit out of his cute little cheeks!

And this little boy is the best baby ever, and I have had amazingly great babies, he is such a perfect completion of our family

Choo choo, Bryden is 2!!!

I seriously feel like I just brought him home from the hospital, how can he possibly be 2???

You can't see it here, but he woke up with a tummy bug the morning of his birthday, poor kid:(

I did my best Thomas the Train cake, didn't look super impressive, but I made it completely from scratch and boy was it yummy!!

All ready for present time!

One of most favorite pictures of Bryden EVER, I love it, it completely captures his sweet little face

And Brexten is getting very big too, loves sitting up in the bumbo.

A couple special things about Bryden.  He is by far my best cuddler, he asks every night and at nap time, he will sit with you as long as you want if he is being held and tickled.  He thinks he is just a big as Brennar, and can do anything Brennar does, and actually he mostly can.  Bryden loves any and all sports as long as a ball is involved.  He is incredibly naturally athletic, he obviously gets that from his mama;) He has perfected singing Happy Birthday, he got a lot of practice with all of the birthday parties we have had in December and January.  "Owl do it" (I will) is his favorite phrase, it is so cute to hear him say it, even though at times it is very frustrating! He is a pretty good eater, but loves all things sweet - one thing I know he got from me!  He likes Mickey Mouse, Jake, Elmo and Thomas the train - all things Brennar liked at 2 also. He is just a wonderful part of our family, he makes us laugh every single day, we are so blessed to be his parents!!

MT trip

Our first flight as a family of 6 was pretty successful. The 2 big kids are great, Brexten did great too, Bryden did very well considering his age and that we held him on our laps.  Now that he is 2 he will get his on seat and we hope that will eliminate the wanting to get up and go between Clint and I.

Brilee and Brexten were my seat mates:)

When we arrived, before we even went to my parent's house we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese.  This little guy had a blast, especially on the train ride:)

We also went to the new Scheels, it was fun!!! Bryden and Daddy rode together on the ferris wheel, if it wouldn't have stopped it would have been great, but Bryden tried standing up while they were at the very top, it made for one anxious parent!

Brexten loved looking around at everything

We almost got attacked by a mountain lion!!

Bryden and Brennar took some turns on the jeep

Brilee and her moose friend - I can't get over her face

And we found a nice solution for sleeping while camping - because we've been tent camping all of 3 times, and those were in our basement:)

The trout almost ate little Bryden!

Brexten wasn't scared of no grizzly

Apparently neither was Brilee!

Clint was SUPER excited on the plane ride home to sit with this little monster!!
