Valentine's Day

Here is a picture of Breanne's Valentine's box that we made together. Poor Cam didn't get to do this because they have been having some major behavior problems with several boys in the class and didn't get to have a party. I felt really bad for him because he is well behaved in class. It sucks when other people ruin everyone else's fun. Anyway I thought the box turned out really cute. I also did Breanne's hair with matching ribbon from her box on V-day. That is the picture of her. I know it doesn't match her outfit at all. I wasn't in the mood to have her change over it. OH WELL!!! LOL. I still thought she looked cute and you have to look at the little pin she had on for V-Day also. :-)

Timeout!!!!

We have discovered a great new way to do timeout with the kids. It has been working really well. Yes, I tie them up to whatever I feel and they sit there until I say.....lol. Yeah right. She did this on her own while playing. Don't ask me why. She sat here for a good 15 to 20 min. Just like that. She was watching tv and just sitting there. This kid comes up with some crazy ways of playing but hey whatever makes her happy right?? LOL!!

Breanne's B-Day Party

We had Breanne's b-day party on Feb 5. Yes, it has taken me this long to finally post it. I have been so bad with keeping up with my blog lately. We had Breanne's party at the Soap Lake roller rink which is only 5 min away and the closest one for over 90 miles...lol. They do private parties for pretty cheap so that is what we ended up doing for Breanne. The kids loved having the whole place to themselves. It made it really nice. It wasn't all crazy or anything. I loved it. She had a great birthday with all her new little friends. I really like her group of friends that she has made this year. They are all really sweet little girls. Cam invited one of his friends too. He also had his cousin Ryan there. That was nice for him not to have to skate with a bunch of girls. LOL! I think everyone had a great time!!

Breanne is 8 years old!!

My little girl is now 8 years old. I really can't believe it has been that long. Here are some pictures of her special day. Tomorrow we are having her b-day party so hopefully we will have lots of pictures from that.

My brother!!

This is a guy whom I have looked up to since I was born. He has been an amazing person in my life! He has always shown so much love to me. He always protected me growing up and has always been there. I adore this man. I really do! He has been working so hard to have this great relationship my kids which means so much to me. I know it takes a lot to develop a relationship over the phone but he does it. Every week! He takes 10 min with each child and talks to them about anything and everything. I know somedays are harder than others because they are kids and just aren't always very talkative. He still trys again next week. I just think it is soooo cool. He is always there for advice when I need it. He loves God and is just a great man. I am sooooo proud of who is today and how hard he has worked to be who he is! I love you Gary sooooo very much! Thanks for being a great big brother to me. It really does mean more than you know.

Toothless girl

Breanne lost one of these teeth on Christmas Day. She was determined to get the thing out. Then she almost lost the other one yesterday but ended up waiting until first thing this morning to pull it out. Again she was determined to get it out. She looks pretty silly with two big gaps in her mouth....lol. She is so excited to show her teacher tomorrow how different she looks. :-)

Happy New Year!!!!

Last night we brought in the new year with Josh and Jill and the kiddos. We still hadn't had Christmas with them yet so that is what we did. It was a great night of food, games, and lots of laughs. I am so glad we are able to do things like that with them now that we live so close. It was really nice! I am sure we are all going to be zombies today but it was worth it.
