The Falls

We took a drive the first Sunday of break to the falls. It was raining off and on so it was an experience. The kids enjoyed it. When we walked up to the bridge we got soaked from the spray off the falls, due to the wind, and then the rain was only adding to the joy :)

This is Jackson, Lorelei and Dad at the top. Lorelei had a pink fleece blanket covering her.

A little more of Uncle James with Lorelei

She, not unlike my other two, LOVE their Uncle James. He got her laughing pretty good here.

Pink and Blue Breakfast

This has become a new favorite in our house. One day Jackson asked for blue pancakes and Abagayle said yeah and pink eggs.. so the new breakfast was born. Since this day we have several batches of pink and blue pancakes. The kids love it!

That time of year again.

It is that glorious time of year again where boards and finals meet and husbands are MIA :) I love March! Brandon took a week of vacation to study for boards and finals, mostly boards. He has his tests this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then finals starting on Tues. I am so lucky to have a husband who works SO hard for us. Hopefully we just have one more round of boards to go in Nov. :)

Good Luck to all the guys out there taking boards this weekend.

We Love Uncle James!!

Brandon brother James came into town on Sat night (valentines day). He took the train down from Kent. He called a bit ago and asked to come and visit, he had the whole next week off school, of course he could come!! So I got him a ticket and down he came! The kids were so excited for James to come down. Uncle James is such a good playmate for them and break for me. We spent the week hanging out, celebrating brandons birthday, going to the zoo and going to preschool. We were all so excited to have James with us for the week.


I think this is how most of his week was, a kid in his arms. Different kids at different times

My cute kids!

I always thought it was a bit weird when people matched their kids clothes, I mean they are seperate people... However I have completely changed!!

Costco had girls dresses and Abagayle was at the very top of the sizes they carried and Lorelei was at the bottom so I thought we will give it a try and see if I/they like matching. Abagayle and Jackson cannot get over how cool it is that they have the same dresses. I LOVE it. They are so cute! Of course we got Jackson a new church outfit too. I think he has worn it each week since we got it :)

Valentines Day!

We had such a fun day! I made little cakes for the kids to wake up to and Brandon stopped by the Winco bulk candy section :) I got them a little coloring thing to have in the morning too. They were so excited when they saw the table, they came running up to tell up all the fun things that someone let downstairs for them.

We went to Costco and got Brandon his valentines/birthday gift- Ipodtouch and came home to have a relaxing day. Dad came home with roses for mom and a rose for each of his kids! What a man!

Plus we made tons of fun valentines cards and decorated cookies, thanks gracie for coming over and playing with us.
