Brynlee Turns 2!

Brynlee had her 2nd birthday this past Sunday.  It is so hard to believe sometimes. Other times, it is painfully obvious I have a two-year old! Like when I am scrubbing ink off every wall and door in the house or cleaning up a mess only to find a new one around the next corner! 


Since our family was all here for Hannah's baptism (pictures to follow soon), we celebrated on Saturday and were able to sing to Aunt Cami as well.

Happy Birthday to two beautiful girls!  We love you!

 

A Little Romance Anyone?

Being married 10 years now, I thought I knew BJ's "game."  I realized last week that I was way off!  He and two buddies planned a whole day of pampering for their wives.  It began at 9am with a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a note that said, "Just because I love you!  Go look under the keyboard." As you can imagine I RAN to the keyboard and underneath I found an envelope with a clue instructing me to get ready for the best date ever. After a day of pampering, my two girlfriends and I found outside my home a large Hummer Limo with our sweet knights waiting for us.  There were ultimately six envelopes, each with its own clue which led to something fun and pampering. The last one told us to close our eyes and hold out our hands. As we did, a final envelope was placed there. Inside?  Tickets to the Rascal Flatts concert!  It was quite the adventure, but one I will remember and treasure forever.

There they are!

What a great day boys!  Thanks for all your hard work.  BJ, you are truly the best! 

Gone Camping

BJ and I had big plans to take the girls camping for 3 days and make it a long week-end.  We took the girls out of school and headed north for cooler weather and relaxation.

BJ taught the girls to shoot and I beat him at a shooting contest!

Got Dirt?

We all had a really great time...the first morning.  Then Janessa and I started coming down with colds that the others had already had and the girls found the dirt...as shown, they were covered!  We bathed them and headed back home that afternoon.  Our "roughing it" spirit was not with us this trip! Maybe next time!
