Fashionista!

So Brilee is getting her 6 month ( i know she is 8 months) pictures done next week and I have been having such a hard time deciding what I want her to wear. So, why not play dress up???? These wear some of the  possibilities, stayed tuned to see what she ends up in

 I have been really into making tu-tus lately.  I think Brilee has 8 different ones:)  And, chances are, if you are having a baby girl anywhere in the near future, she will end up with one, too.  They are just so cute!!

 Please mom, no more pictures!!!

 Ok, I guess you can take some more:)

 The next picture of Brilee, I absolutely love her little face, but unfortunately you can't see it all that well this small.

 But, how cute is this??? I can't say it enough, it is so much fun dressing up a baby girl!!

Easter

We had a great Easter this year.  We were planning on going to brunch Sunday morning with Clint's family, so we went to the Saturday night service at our church.  These were my attempts at getting pictures of the two of them together, it never seems to work very well, thats ok, they are still super cute:)

 After church we had our best friends, The Stubbs, over for dinner and to dye eggs.  We weren't real sure how it was going to go, but the two older boys did great!  And the two little ones were locked up, but enjoyed watching Brennar and Eli. 

 How cute are they in their little onesies??

 They really did awesome, it was so fun to watch them.

 Brilee's trap

 Zac's trap

 Both were super happy:)

 How cute is this picture of the dads with their big boys, I love it.

The next morning, the Easter bunny came!! We had gone the weekend before to take pictures with him, so Brennar was a little confused when we told him that he came to the house, but wasn't there anymore.  But all was better when the Easter bunny left him a train:)

 Easter morning, pre-shower!

 So, like always, we got a picture with me and the kids and on each picture one is smiling, one isn't.

 But, how sweet is this, Brilee looking up at her big brother, she just LOVES him.

 And, same experience with Clint and the kids

 Of course, I made us all coordinate for Easter, so we had Brion take a picture for us, both the kids looked, but neither would smile!!! Brilee gets her pictures taken on Wednesday, so hopefully this isn't a preview of how that will go:)

And one last thing.... The Stubbs' are having another baby, due right around the time Brilee turns one, and its a GIRL!!!! I am so excited that Brilee will have a "girl" friend now!!!

Brianna's Angel day

Just like we do every year, we sent up balloons to Brianna on her angel day. But this year, the kids got to join in and do their own balloons.

Even Miss Brilee did

They each got 2 balloons to do, so we let them go individually with each kid and then all together

Now, every time we go into the back yard, Brennar says, ballons went to heaven:)

My kiddos

I have nothing new to post, this is just my latest attempt at getting a picture of the kiddos together

If one smiles, the other doesn't

At least they are bothing looking here

Brilee loved getting her picture taken:)

Then she found her bracelet to chew on, and Brennar found the tv to watch instead

Then her fingers, but not too bad
And the winner is.....

The Zoo!

Like I have mentioned, the weather has been beautiful here, so we took full advantage and went to the zoo.  You can't tell, but Brennar is checking some monkeys here. 
Inside at a chimp exhibit.  I thought he would really like the monkeys, since he seems to be so closely related, but his favorite was the rhinos and hippos, he kept asking to go see them.

Toyota is sponsoring the new elephant exhibit at the zoo, so a bunch of the dealerships around Denver have a car at the zoo.  We found the one that Stapp Interstate Toyota gave, so Brennar took a picture with it:)

Brennar playing the drums

He was pretty good at it:)

Look at the frog, see how close Brennar got????

Now look at this giant spider we found and he touched??? No fear:)

And a scorpion, too!!!





Clint and I have a picture sitting on these very same ox, the first time we went to the zoo together:)

Super fun time, we are looking forward to many more visits there, this summer!

Park time!

For Christmas Art and Debbi gave us some money to go get new bikes and my parents bought us this bike trailer, I cannot wait to get to use it all the time this summer! Brennar loves it, seriously, loves it. We have used it maybe 5 or so times the last couple weeks and he asks almost every day to go for a "trailer ride". Brilee didn't initially like it so much, but the last few times she has done great. Clint and I are way, way out of shape, but it actually is really light to pull.

So, our first adventure was to one of the near-by elementary schools playground. It was a lot of fun. We go to the park that is near our house at least 4 times a week, so Brennar really liked changing it up a bit.

He has actually enjoyed the park so much, we bought a playset for the backyard. It is quite massive so we are waiting for my dad to make a trip out here to help set it up:)

Awful picture, but proof that Brilee was there, too.

This kid a no fear!! He would have climbed it himself, luckily he let daddy help

He practiced jumping to daddy, just like he does at swimming

This is the park by our house. It is so close and so nice to have. We actually met some kids there the first time we went this spring. Brennar and Audrey aka Laundry, made a love connection:) She is this adorable little girl who is 3 months older than Brennar, they had a great time. Brennar now asks to go see, Laundry and The Boy (Audrey's brother) everytime we go for a stroller ride to the park.

He is just the cutest!

I love how excited he gets for almost everything, he is such a sweet little boy, I love him so much!!

The Princess just hung out on the grass watching her big bro, she had a great time too. She was sitting on a blanket, but would kick and her little feet touched the grass, she loved it.

She just stared at Brennar running around the entire time.

Look how tall this slide is??? He thinks it is great. I sure hope he likes his new playset as much as he likes this park!

I took this picture of Brilee because it honestly was the first time she has ever messed with something on her head. She has barretts, clips, headbands or hats on everyday and she never bugs them, lucky me, I can dress her up to my hearts content!!
