April

Sorry I have been so bad at blogging! Not a whole lot is new, but here is our April in a nutshell...
Macie is oficially registered to start preschool in the fall! She will go in the mornings, a couple days a week! My mom & I had a garage sale this past weekend - it was cold! We did ok, but have done way better in the past years. Ummm  I have been working 9 hour days with some Saturdays & dad has been working 10+ hour days with some Saturday, but that's a good problem, right? I will try & get back to being a "better blogger"....... Happy May Day!!!

Brayden's new "style"

As you have probably seen in pictures - our son has wild hair! It does whatever it wants. So this past weekend auntie Cindy came down & gave him a new cut. When she did the 1st pass dad & I weren't too sure, but now we love it!

Before... After...

Brayden's 2nd Birthday Party

Saturday we celebrated Brayden's 2nd birthday with some friends (his birthday was actually Sunday). The kids had a lot of fun & with some help of the "big kids" daddy aggreed to put up their trampoline. Dad & I got it for them for their birthday/Christmas. I will post pictures of that soon.

Happy Birthday to you...

This big sister :)

1 year of missing auntie Becky

February 10th was 1 year since we lost our aunt/sister-in-law! We all wore our "Forever in our hearts shirts". We know she is in a better place & is pain free, but we really miss her :(

Underwater world

If you look on the right you can kind of see Brayden. There was fish below so he was laying down so he could see them really close.

Just For Kix Winter Show

We had the big Winter Show for Just For Kix at the beginning of January. She danced about 1/2 the time & watched the DJ the other 1/2, but was still cute :)
