Becky our princess

Becky is now known as Princess, for those who wish to address her.

A little video of our PRINCESS!

Brev's Video

Our awesome little man!!

Kyla's Movie trailer

I LOVE our iMovie program on our computer. Here is a short clip that I made of Kyla.

Sour

Becky wanted to eat a warhead from her halloween candy. So I let her try it and immediately started the camera :) .I mean everyone knows you can't reason with a two year old anyway, so why try? It's so much easier to start the camera and laugh and the memories you are recording.

The first 30 seconds is priceless

Andrew's costume

So each year lately we have been making Andrew's costumes for stilts. This year he was a creature. Just because I made the costume doesn't mean I know what he is exactly so don't ask. I just followed Andrew's instructions the best I could. We had a lot of fun, and while trying the costume on myself, I fell backwards onto the couch. Andrew laughed and laughed and would not help me up until he got pictures. No I didn't post one. I looked like a bug stuck upside down on it's back with my legs flailing. Admittedly it was kinda funny. Well here are some pics of our project.

Andrew got to take all the kids to Sea World, and survived! They had a blast then got to go to eat barbecue after. Fun Fun Fun!

We got to celebrate Kyla's 7th Birthday with Katie and Steven in Houston. We had a ton of fun, Kyla got to pick what we did that day. She chose shopping at the mall. Then we had a movie theater in the house, and ended with a yummy dinner and cake. Steven's family came to celebrate with us. Happy Birthday Kyla!!

Brie's wedding!!

We all got to dress up for Aunt Brie's wedding! Yea! It was a very beautiful day because Brie commanded it to be so! Here are some pictures from the wedding.

Kyla's tooth decided to come out that day. It bled and bled until we finally got it out.

Brev Chillin outside the temple

Bex Loved the water and would have fallin in if someone wasn't watching her.

On the road to toughness.....

Brev our little hero, is starting to get very tough!! His favorite things he loves to do, and constantly works on is his skateboard and his scooter. He is getting pretty tough, and although he constantly falls he gets right back up. He is learning to deal with the scraped knees and elbows he gets and is proud to show how tough he is. He is getting good at putting both feet on and pedaling with on foot. He is also getting pretty fast which is kinda starting to scare mommy a bit. We love to see him take such an interest in something.

Brev has needed a video for a while. And we have been remiss in bragging about our amazing boy. So here is a little bragging.

Brev's adventures

Yea no Tonsils!

Yea! no more tonsils for Kyla!

She woke up this morning saying that last night was the quickest night ever!

She slept soooooo good. (of corse some of that was the meds I am sure)

She also said "Mom I can fit so much air in my throat, I just have to breathe once."

Yea!!!! 1 day and already a difference.

my life as normal

I found my salt and pepper shaker in the bathroom, my phone in the toy box (again), a monster truck in the fridge, cars in the veggie drawer, an entire roll of toilet paper unrolled and half in the toilet, and a ball of string that had been unwound thru every room in the house. (except the bathroom that I was in, doing my hair).......Just another day in my life.

Concussion?!

Well, it was a long and interesting night last night. I had just sent the kids to bed, and started cleaning up my house when I heard a very loud crash in the bedroom. I didn't hear screaming, but went in to check on the kids. As soon as I saw Breven, he started screaming bloody murder. He was under the dresser with his foot inside on of the drawers and our very large and heavy T.V. still laying partially on his head

My heart totally stopped just then. He started going crazy, screaming, kicking and refusing to hold still. I got him out from under the stuff and checked him over. Some part of the T.V. had skinned the side of his face a bit, but other than that he seamed o.k.

He was very angry with me for some reason, and kept getting irritated with me. Well I kept him up for a bit, to see if anything else was wrong, besides a very bad head ache. He seamed fine so after about an hour I put him back to bed. Then he started throwing up. Thank goodness Andrew decided to come home just then. He helped clean up and looked Brev over too.

He thinks it was a concussion, having seen plenty the gym, So he sat up with Brev for a bit until he stopped throwing up. He only threw up a few times, but it sure scared me. I was ready to take him into the hospital, and would have if he threw up any more. But he calmed down, a bit of color came back into his face, he stopped crying every time he turned his head, and he just wanted to go to bed.

Crazy kid, bet he won't climb on any dressers for a long time.

We have been pretty lucky. We have never made any hospital trips for the kids, but this one very came close in my opinion.

CUTE

Becky and I were picking out her clothes to wear for the day. And I had to take a video.

Texas snow day!!

Can you believe we got snow!!! I know right it snowed here in TEXAS. So of corse the WHOLE town shut down. Schools closed, the freeways closed, lots of people didn't go to work.....and etc. It was actually hilarious! Check out our snow day pics.

Just look at all that snow!!!!

Becky actually escaped outside in her bare feet when Kyla opened the door to go out.

Sadly, we didn't get a picture of Brev in the snow, he wouldn't put his clothes on and ended up staying inside to do this instead....

Kyla gets earrings!

So we have been literally trying for YEARS to get Kyla to stop sucking her thumb! We tried many different ways, trying not to push to hard and make it worse. You would think she would just stop after getting punched in the face on the bus because she was sucking her thumb. Finally, I made a thumb glove for her (she can take it off by herself so it's her choice) and promisied her earrings.

Well she is doing really well!!!!!! FINALLY!!!

After a little while, she got her ears pierced.

She still would LOVE to suck her thumb, but now she has earrings, and can only KEEP them if she doesn't suck her thumb.

Here the kids are just being goofy!

Kyla's Dinner

Kyla wanted to make Sunday dinner tonight, so I thought, well she's gotta learn sometime. She did an excellent job. I watched and helped only to do examples of how to do it. Like I showed her how to use the potato peeler then let her do it.......and so on. I let her use a knife for the first time under supervision and she did well.

She made

Roast, potatoes, carrots, bread (in the bread machine) and jello. I made baked apples as another side dish. It all tasted very yummy.

And Kyla let Brev stir the Jello.

Kyla's Dance Recital

Out of chronological order I know, But Kyla had her dance recital today and she did awesome! We are very proud of her!

It didn't work the first time I tried to put this on, But I gave it one last shot.

Heck it only took a 1/2 hour to load....not to bad eh?
