It's a Boy!

Due August 6th!  Bring on the summer!

Ski Lessons!

This was the second year for Brayden and the first for Jaycie.  They both enjoyed it a lot and did great.  Unfortunately the weather this year wasn't very nice so it made it really cold for them.

Jaycie's Dance Competition!

She did so good!  It was fun to see how much better she did this year.  She loves dance and really knows how to shake it!  Made me tear up to watch how happy she was when she was out there on the dance floor.

Happy 5th Birthday Jaycie!
It was a princess party, and she ate it up!  She had so much fun and loved that all her friends came.  She really was a princess that day,  nice, sweet, kind, grateful, helpful etc.  It was a good day!

Happy 7th Birthday Brayden!

Nick is always a great party planner so the kids were really excited to have him home, because that meant their birthday parties were going to be amazing.   Nick planned an army party with netting, obstacle course, dodge ball, zip line, and friends.  He and his friends had a great time, but who wouldn't?!

First Season of Basketball!

Brayden played his first season of basketball at the beginning of 1st grade and loved it.  He did a lot of bouncing, moving, shifting etc. and even made a couple of baskets.  It was fun to go watch and support but I realized that I am that dorky mom that bosses a lot from the side line.  Brayden even had to stop in the middle of the game turn to me and say, "MOM!"  I am busy here!"  After that I decided to just boss a little more quietly.  :)

New York City!

After Nick was home for a bit, we took a trip just him and I to New York for a lovers getaway.  It was fun to see all the sites and also see an actual Broadway show Wicked. We also made it onto the Dave Letterman show.  It was a fun getaway and very interesting trying to figure out how to be alone with him again.  There were only a few minor "bossing around" exchanges between the two of us.  But of course in the end I was always right! :)
