Joy

b&w

check out the b&w pics from this morning......

The cutest chubby cheeks ever!

 cousins watching morning cartoons together.

Funny side note:  Brooks got reindeer food at school yesterday.  He thought we should put it on the front steps.  In the bag and all.  hahaha  He checked on it after a few hours.  It had blown around from the wind and he said "mom was Rudolph here?"  So we left it there incase they wanted more.  Love your imagination B.  

(most of the time)

birthday celebrating

Good morning birthday boy.

Brooks woke up to balloons in his room and streamers across his door.

Brooks was also "star of the week" at school.

I dropped off Brody with Gma and spent the morning with B at school.

We where very busy.

I was the sick patient.

At least I had the cutest Dr helping me feel better.

Trains!  Like you couldn't guess.  haha

We had to inspect the cleaning up for our job today.

Finally snack time.

We enjoyed chocolate covered pretzels made by Brooks and Matt.

Then it was time to burn off some real energy!  

This boy does't stop running when outside.

(p.s.  it was pj day too.  i don't normally let him wear those to school)

After a long day dad was finally home and we could open presents.

"Lightning McQueen!!!!!!!!"

(not so sure this was a good gift.....he hasn't put down the iPad all night.  it is a car you drive through a game.)

Happy Birthday Ice Cream Sundaes topped with TONS of choc chips, sprinkles, and choc syrup.

I don't think he believed we where actually going to let him eat that all.

Dig in Big 4 year old!

It was so much fun celebrating with you all day.  You make me so proud to be your mom.  So happy I get you forever.  You are loved more than anyone could know.  Happy 4th Birthday Brooks!

Love, Mom

xoxoxo

getting our tree

We always get out Christmas tree every year the weekend after Thanksgiving.  Gotta get the most out of it, right?  There is a tree farm here in town that we have gone to for the last couple of years with Abby and Tim.  This year Emery got to cut down her first tree too!

Daddy hard at work.

It was so much fun decorating the tree.  Brooks absolutely loved it.  While I put on the lights he proceeded to get each and every ornament out (even thought I said wait ONE minute.  

Boys, ugh)

True 3 year old fashion all the ornaments are on one branch. 

Now all the ornaments are on the top half of the tree because Brody won't leave them alone.

Every time I get the camera out and say Brody can I take your picture he runs to the tree and backs in and the branches are surrounding his head.  Funny boy.  Thanks for the smile Brody.

Thankful for you reading our blog too:)

Over the weekend we celebrated Aunt Becca's bday and a packer win.

Uncle Matt snuggling E during half time.

So I thought the snow would be done by now.  But the kids are really enjoying it.  

They wanted to come in and I said 5 more minutes!  haha, just kidding.

Today Brooks went sledding down the driveway.  He loved it.  So nice that he can do it all by himself! 

Brody is still getting acquainted with his boots.  Is it ok to laugh when they are crying?

Quick check in.....pics from my phone of moments on the go.

Trouble! Trouble! Trouble!

I HATE (love) having Halloween candy around.

We don't anymore since this is the monster it turns my sweet, sweet Brooks into.

We have had some nice falls days.

Haha Brooks is in there somewhere.

Brody loved him throwing the leaves.

And what better than sliding into leaves?!!

Check out this sweet moment from cousin to cousin.

So fun to watch them together.

Happy Candy Day!

Love,

Sheriff Woddy and Rex the dinosaur

Since you have been begging:)

Halloween Party at Preschool

Can you find the cutest one?

Brody loved getting his hand on the sensory table while we hung out for just a minute.

Ignore the mullet forming on the back of his head.

Pushing the pause button!..........

The weeks are just flying bye.

We are focusing on:

-School schedules

-Swimming lessons

-The Little gym

-New cousin Emery

-Coaching TLS weight loss solutions (check out the new tlsslim.com)

-Picking pumpkins

-Planning for the holiday's and birthdays coming

-Having fun!

Back soon.

Yesterday was the first day of Preschool!

Everyone survived drop off:)

Celebrating the big 29 and holding! OMG how did we get this old? Life is perfect right now. Boys are still small and want me to be around. Although I didn't know they could fight so much at such a young age. I know it is all payback for how we fought growing up. Girls are sassy and boys are just physical. Anyways we have been doing some fun stuff lately in prep for school (preschool) starting soon and a schedule. Who likes those? Not me. It has been a fun summer.

Here are some pics of the Middleton Good Neighbor fest. This was probably Brooks' (and Brody's) first time on carnival rides and playing games.

This was the best laugh that day. Brooks was so excited to ride the roller coaster. He kept his head down the whole 8 laps. I could hear him laugh but never looked up. Makes me lol just thinking about it.

Oh a good ice cream treat or two on a hot day sounds perfect.

And why takes baths when you can play outside with shaving cream and the kiddie pool. Sound like a double duty to me!

Happy rainy cloudy (better clear up!!!) day.
