we are counting the days until our trip to Michigan....we leave here on July 3rd!
braydon is so excited to see family and friends....
i have decided to stay a full 4 weeks this year.....so, it should be a fun month!

Randoms...and meeting Finnley Chambers....

brielle wanted to hold finn, so we let her...and she just smiled....

and then she gave her a hug! :) ahhhh....

and then...she wanted to give her back. :) but, overall, brielle was very interested in Finn.

first set of pig-tails!!!!!!

loving the hair!

what's a boy to do...at some point, he has to try on his sister's stuff...just to be goofy!

braydon had his first dentist appointment..such a big boy, went back all by himself! (i, of course..shed a little tear that my little boy is growing so fast!)

our little brie-brie...crown and all...

fake crying.....

you never really realize how much your kids listen to you until they say something that you have said at some point during their lives....

we were eating dinner the other night, and as things have been going lately...brielle is not fond of sitting at the table and would much rather eat on a come and go basis (meaning...get down, come back for food, get down again..run around, come back again...etc)...well...i was trying to keep her at the table and she was doing that sorda fake, whine type of cry..nothing real. out of nowhere..without looking up from his own food, braydon says, "thats a fake cry brielle, really..that's a fake cry" brielle looked at her brother and did stop the whining.....for about 30 seconds...

brett and i smiled at each other and just chuckled...

June is here!

What a month...i have slacked a long time...so lots of pics added!
we have been busy and it is so nice that it is finally warm out...we spend a ton of our time outside!
Braydon is mister imagination and spends his days acting out his superhero adventures, and most of the time my name is "alicia (from diego), or "bat girl". He is a ton of fun right now, and has really taken to riding his bike everywhere!!!!
Brielle has finally started to talk...and she talks non-stop! whether she is rambling, or stating very specific words...she wants to be heard and she lets us know..we have a feeling she is going to be louder than her brother...oh boy!

lots of stuff coming up..i promise to post more soon....

Same Picture...2 years apart...they are siblings and they think alike!

hey there

gotta get that last drop out of the glass...

why not help myself to more...:)

hmmm, the bucket is not quite big enough

so..it poured on Sunday...it was warm out, no lightning or thunder..so the kids played in the rain.

had a great time...

and just got really wet!

nice rain water hug!

and then it cleared up, so they washed bikes (both daddy bikes and kid bikes)

he loves brett's motorcycle helmet...rode his bike around for a long time with it on. :)

brielle's first time in a bathing suit this year..

spiderman is soooo tired!

playing with the batmobile and barbie's volkswagon..

Dutch Wonderland (Lancaster, PA) over Memorial Day Weekend

no trip to the park is complete without cotton candy..

and what is the fun, if you don't get really sticky!

first time having cotton candy...

we think she approves,

watching the new Thomas show at the park..

riding a pony....she kept saying.."pony..pony" and was petting it the entire time.

our little girl is getting so big!

braydon's favorite..the rollar coaster...(they are the third row back)

standing with Duke...

again...the rollar coaster..

and then the bumper cars with Daddy....they both had equally as much fun!

riding the bulldozers together.

prior to the park...brushing teeth together.

Trip to the Balimore Zoo....

4 moms and 8 kids (under the age of 4)....could be a recipe for disaster, but we had a great time and everyone behaved really well....we had a lot of fun. braydon liked the elephants (which we got to see the baby one..sooo cute), and brielle really liked the zebras.....

atop the lion at the entry....

brielle was very happy to be standing next to Josh (for those of you who have heard her...this is one of the names she says most often...she loves Josh) :)...her first crush.

the giraffe's were out and ready to mingle...

brushing the babies...

looking for something...

trip to michigan...

we headed to michigan for mother's day weekend....
it was still a bit chilly..but we had a fun time seeing family and friends, and getting to enjoy the tail end of Tulip Time....the flowers looked great this year. i had a chance to run in the River Bank run with Jodie, Braydon had a great time playing with Quinn..they got into some mischief together...and then we also got together with the miller family for a night. we were able to see all the grandparents...and by the end of the weekend...brielle was saying, "amma" and "ampa"....very good! My kids also had the opportunity to meet my grandma who was visiting from Florida while we were there...it was great!

about 6 weeks from now...we head to Michigan for the month of July....we are excited to see family and friends again...along with all those cousins!!!!
