cupcakes

Well, I had two days of this week to hang out and spend time w/ Brycen! It was sooo nice to be home for two days in a row w/ absolutly nothing pressing on me to do! On Wednesday it rained all day so we made cupcakes :) YUM! I'm craving one now!

ramblings...

Today I have to go to the dentist. YUCK! I absolutly dread going to the dentist! Especially when it is such beautiful weather outside! We have been having amazing weather, and we are loving it! It seems that the long winter is finally over! We have even been wearing shorts this week! yayy! Yesterday it got up to 80! Wow, that seemed hot after it was just 30 degrees one day last week! I would much rather it be 80 than 30 though! Brycen has been loving getting to play outside so much! It is hard to drag him inside for a bath in the evening now! He and his puppies are having so much fun~ I meant to get some pictures last night, but my camera batteries were dead! :(

our happy family

brycen and his good buddy isaac- they are only 10 days apart in age

Faith Like a Child

I've never seen more clearly what God meant when he said to have faith like a little child. Every day I watch Brycen & it just seems more and more apparent to me what it's like to have the faith of a child. He just amazes me every day how much he understands and believes, and doesn't question! How I wish I could be like that at all times. It makes my heart smile that he loves Jesus sooo much. I'm in awe of my three yr. old sweetheart's tremendous faith & huge heart. I just want to squeeze him :)

ready

I'm so glad today is finally Friday! This has been a very busy week... I was in a drama at church Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, and it got held over until Wednesday night! Then last night I had PE. I feel like I haven't seen Ryan & Brycen near as much as I would of liked and our house is def. suffering! I can't wait to have some free moments this weekend! Hopefully, the bad weather will pass us by and we can get some landscaping (how fun!) done tomorrow!

random picture post... lots of blessings!

Brycen in his toy room... this used to be my scrapbook room, but I hated that my house felt like it had toys coming out of every crack and crevice, so we put most of them in here! He actually plays a lot better by himself now b/c he feels like he has his own "space". You can't see it, but on the left wall he has a recliner and a little table w/ his cd player and bible song cd's, he relaxes there and listens and sings a lot! it's adorable! That movie that he is watching is called "All about John Deere Tractors"! They are one of his favorite things in the world, his room is actually done in John Deere. My mom and dad got him the movie for dogsitting and "taking care" of Goldie their dog while they were in Hawaii. ((okay a huge photo caption I know))


Motorcycles are another one of Brycen's favorite things in the world! Here he is in my Dad's helmet. He thinks he has to wear gloves to ride a motorcycle, so these are actually just a pair of outside colts gloves, not actual motorcycle gloves. While we are driving anytime he sees a motorcyle he gets SUPER excited!

My best friend Chelsey & I. I am in her wedding on October 18th. She is marrying her high school sweet heart Ryan. We are all four really good friends, I'm glad our Ryan's are good friends too. Brycen absolutly adores these two people and they are both very special in his life as well as ours. I'm so excited that she just got her dream job and will have her very own pre-school classroom starting in May!

I love my hubby so much. I'm so proud of him & all that he does for our family. He is the best daddy and husband we could ask for.


Brycen and his best friend at daycare, Joey. These two are just hilarious. THey think they have to have everything the same. They are only 3 weeks apart (brycen is 3 wks older). His mom and I weren't good friends, she was a senior when I was in sixth grade, but we have a lot of mutual friends and would run into each other a lot at showers and weddings while we were pregnant, it was fun to be pregnant and know someone due so close to when I was and now they are Best Friends! Who would of thought?!

Another Best Friend of mine! Vanessa. Her husband Clint is probably one of Ryan's closest friends. I've known Vanessa since 1st grade, but we weren't really good friends, we just knew each other and were friendly. Ryan & Clint have been friends since high school (clint went to my high school, but was Ryan's age), but Clint knew a lot of people from Ryan's hometown and hung out there a lot. They have a little boy, Tyler Quinn who is 18 mo. old. It's nice to have friends that have a child and the same interests as we do (such as no drinking or staying out too late, church, etc.) Vanessa is my prayer warrior. If I need prayer I call her, the same goes for her. My brother was in a car accident on Saturday- I didn't know any details, just that he had been in an accident, she was the first person I called. B/c I knew without a doubt that I could count on her to be praying. I couldn't ask for a sweeter girl, and now she is a co-worker of mine, so fun!

Mya Faith- This was on Easter, so she was exactly a week old. She is so precious. Looks so much like her brother and sister did at that age. I miss her and hate that I only get to see her usually once a week, and didn't see her at all last week : (.

Hailey Brooke, Brycen, and Jayce. Cousins and best friends. I am so thankful for my niece and nephew. Jayce is 7 and Hailey is 4 (her and Brycen are 10 mo. apart). They are so sweet and love Brycen so much!

Our cool little dude. The Best Blessing of all!
