Playing in the rain!

With all the rain lately, Bri and Kam have sure loved to run and play in it. I watch them with a smile and just think to myself how great parenting is for these simple moments that make me SMILE!

Brilee...

Brilee loves to dress up in my clothes these days, and we have alot of Hard wood floors through the house, so i am constantly hearing "CLONK, CLONK, CLONK"....everyday her and Kambrie walk around the house in my shoes! The other day, we got home and I was making the kids some dinner when I all the sudden hear the noise....I turn around and see this! She is such a poser and cracks my ass up!

What a damn CUTIE!

Jason and Annie's Wedding!

So as many of you know, my brother Jason and his "New" wife got married yesterday! I am so Happy for them! I am also so happy that Annie is part of all of our lives. She is such a sweet, kind and loving person especially to my kids...all four of them think the world of her! The wedding was amazingly beautiful! Annie looked breathtaking, and Jason just brought tears to my eyes. The venue was beautiful, and the whole day could not have worked out any better! Anyway, CONGRATS to you both!!!!

Here are a few Pics of the fam for all of you to enjoy! When Annie gets her professional pics back, I will post some of those...her photographer is amazing...so stay tuned!

Brilee's Grass Head

So about two months ago Brilee came home from Preschool with a "Grass Head" She was so proud of it. The thing was Bald of course at the time and has had about 6 or 7 haircuts since. Well, I guess she is not interested in cutting his hair anymore, becasue as you can see...he has a full head of hair! I just think this is the cutest damn thing and thought I would share it with you all...

Kambrie and the Vacuum

The other day I heard the vacuum, I assumed it was Lance becasue all of you that know him know that he is a clean FREAK and vacumes everyday at least once a day. Well, I walked into the empty room in our house which we call the "wrestle room" and found this.....








The funniest thing to me is, the thing is just as big as she is!

Brilee's Preschool Graduation

Last week Brilee had her preschool graduation. She went to Red Apple Preschool and her teacher was truly amazing. Brilee walked away with so much more knowledge then she started with and I truly am greatful for Mrs Tonya giving her that. We were so proud of her! And she is very Proud of Herself as you can see in the second picture!

Brilee....Need I say more?

My Worst Nightmare!

Every since Brilee was born, I have absolutly been terrified that one of my girls would get ahold of the scissors and do what every other little girl does. Well, my worst nightmare finally happened. Which is kinda funny becasue I am so anal about putting the scissors where kids can not reach them. Well, last weekend I walked into the bathroom and found Brilee standing at the sink with hair scattered below her feet. All I could think was "Oh Shit..she finally did it! But how did she do it?" Then I instantly thought "Damn you Lance...you left the scissors out"... I really honestly thought I was over that stage...but apparently I was wrong. Well, once all the thoughts went through my head, I shouted..."Brilee...what in the hell are you doing"...she politly turned around and said "I'm cutting my hair to look like yours Mommy!". Which keep in mind she did not do with Scissors....she used the lovely cat nail clippers. ;)

The Cat's Bath

So if you don't know...now you know....Lance is very allergic to everything that well, walks, talks, breathes, grows, pretty much anything that is on this world he is allergic to. So why he wanted a cat still gets me. Don't get me wrong I love my cat but if I was as allergic to the thing as he is...I just dont know if I could do it. Nightly he starts itching and complains about how the cat needs brushed...which apparently is my job to do so. Well, I dont, so this is his way of getting rid of all the "dander" and "excess hair".....LMAO...Poor Cat!

Junk Mail

Ok, so Lance sells advertising for Hunt for a million.com. Which if you havent checked it out, you should...you can win cash and prizes daily! Anyway, he got this idea to save all the junk mail for a week so he could take a picture of it and show potential clients where all thier money is going (in the garbage)! So for the last week we saved all the junk we got in the mailbox and put it in a small garbage bag. Unbelievable is all I have to say. Remember, this is for ONE week, which is SIX actual days of mail delivery. It is absolutly rediculous to me that this much junk mail goes out in just one week!!

Playing in the Snow!

I know...it has been over two months since my last post, so I have alot of catching up to do. Well, here are some pictures of Bri and Kam playing in the snow. Brilee absolutly loves it! Kambrie...wasnt so sure at first, but came around and decided she liked it. Which god knows that didnt come from me because I Hate the cold white stuff!

Kambrie's Birthday

Kambrie had her second birthday on the 24th. Here is a video of her saying happy birthday, and calling herself Brilee. She seems to insist that her name is Brilee. Enjoy! I will post pictures more pictures soon!

Purple Pansies

So the other day we decided to plant some flowers in the front yard. My mother in law suggested Purple Pansies because they last through the cold weather. So I got in the car with my mother in law, and the two little ones. We made our way to Home Depot and all helped pick out some pretty "Purple Pansies". We found Purple, bright yellow and purple, White and purple and light purple. We paid for them got into the car and made our way to Pace's to get an ice cream cone. Well on the way over there Brilee asked the funniest question, now keep in mind she was 100% serious about it.

Brilee: But Mommy I thought we were going to the store to get purple panties.

Me: Purple Panties??? Why would we be getting purple panties?

Brilee: Because you and Grandma said we were going to the store to get purple panties.

Me and Marge: Oh. LOL....

Me: No Brilee...we said we were going to get purple pansies which are the pretty purple flowers that we just bought. lol ;)

Brilee

So a milestone of Brilee's came about when she started Pre-School last Thursday! She was so excited to go. Its like she turned four and is all the sudden a sponge and wants to learn! She looked so cute. After I took her pictures and looked at them I about died...thinking to myself how old my baby looks. Well ladies and gentleman, she is no longer a baby. I will admit that now! She is so damn cute.

Brilee and her "Husband" Braxton

Brilee's First Soccer Game

Friday Night Brilee came down with a low grade fever of about 100. She was complaining of her throat, stomach and head hurting. Which Brilee is not a complainer, so I knew something was up. So I gave her some medicine and called it a night. She woke up at about 11:00 crying because she didn't feel good. I told her that we were not going to be able to go to her soccer game in the morning because she was sick. She started crying and said "But mommy can we go and I will sit and watch my friends?" So of course I agreed. In the morning we got ready and went.

Once we got there she went out with her team and warmed up a bit and started the game. She did great!!! For the whole two minutes she played! And yes that is her outrunning everyone! After about two minutes she tapped on her coaches hip asking her if she could please sit on her mommy's lap. So of course they let her out of the game and she watched the rest from the sidelines. Now as all of you know this is very unlike Brilee...She wants to be wherever the fun or action is at all times. Come to find out, she had strep throat. So, GOOD JOB BRILEE! Even if it was only for two minutes, at least she wanted to try. I on the other hand wouldn't have been able to get my butt out of bed!

Brilee is #2

Brilee and Kam's Hair cuts!

OK, so I know I have been slacking with the once a week thing. But in my defense, I have been crazy busy! Anyway, Kambrie and Brilee got their hair cut the other day. Kambrie's was much needed being that it was her first hair cut....well at least the first one I had control of. And Brilee's...well, you all know how long her hair was....it was just too long! Beautiful, but long. So Kambrie was first. Now, as you look at these pictures, please don't laugh....ok, you can laugh because yes...she did have a Mullet! You would never know because I always pull her hair up, but when we were in Cancun last May, Lances mom cut her bangs because they were driving her nuts. Which I cant complain...she watched my kids for 7 days....and that alone would drive a person nuts! So thanks to Vicki, Kambrie now has a cute little 1/2 mullet 1/2 bob! Only a couple more months until it is all grown out. But it definitely looks much better!

Now, Brilee's hair was ridiculously long. The little girl would not let me cut it. I have been trying for over a year. She has had it trimmed, but was for some reason attached to her hair. (Must have been the hundreds of comments she would receive on a weekly basis.)
So we cut about 6 inches off. And believe it or not, I got a bit teary eyed.
After it was cut, she went and looked in the mirror and said "But Mommy, I wanted it short like yours!" Ha! Yea right. There is no way in hell I could have done that the first time. So I told her next spring we would cut it shorter.

Anyway, they both look Beautiful! Thanks Vicki!
