happy birthday brett!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Brett- Wow our little guy is growing so fast... He's a total nut... He dances & sings "Shake your boody" while shaking his boody... He's a bit of a brut but he has to defend himself w/ an older big brother...I hope he breaks the bullying soon.... Brett always makes us laugh- even when he says "NO" :-) He loves kicking everything (we're trying to focus his kicking more on footballs & soccer balls).... He really had a great time Trick or Treating this year- it was his first one walking to doors holding Grant, Christian, Leo, or Madysen's hand & he couldn't say Trick or Treat- so he'd say More Candy Please... either way - it was too cute...
I just can't believe he's TWO.... Wow 2 posts in a week :-) This is an old picture of his 1st haircut back in August- he's really not cross eyed :-) hee hee

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to our Princess Riannon.... I know I haven't posted in awhile, but life is quite busy here and I can't keep up w/ the blog & even downloading pictures on to our computer.. I wanted to post pictures from Halloween, but sorry- not this time- hopefully this weekend I can go picture crazy & get some updated pix of the boys & their sister.... So here is the latest- Riannon is having many firsts ...
*1st two teeth have come in.
*she pets her dog Bailey instead of crying...
*She got her 1st flu shot- she's high risk w/ her asthma & chronic lung disease...
*she survived her 1st season watching big brother Grant practice & play football 4 times/week.
*She kind of crawls- she'll get up on all 4's, ROCK back & forth, then lay back on her stomach & army crawl EVERYWHERE....
*she had her 1st Halloween & Trick or treating w/ her brothers & friends: Riannon was Tinkerbell (Thanks Shelley for letting us borrow), Brett was a pirate, & Grant was a Storm Trooper...
*She"ll have her first BIRTHDAY party this weekend- of course shared w/ brother Brett who turns TWO on Friday....And boy I'm feeling the "TWO" STAGE...
*She's ONE.... I just look at her & the boys & feel so blessed.... She is so happy & her smile lights up a room & just melts your heart....The boys are very protective already, especially oldest brother Grant- who sometimes has to protect her from her sneaky "Terrible Two's" brother Brett who likes to snag toys from her- but he still loves her of course... I'm enjoying my part time teaching position- love my school & my partner- Ted is constantly on the go w/ work
.... No sports probably until after the new year... I'd like to get Brett signed up for Bumble Bee Sports & maybe a Spring sport (low key) for Grant until football season starts over the summer- just want to focus on the family & getting My Girlfriend's Kitchen open....
Love to you all! Here's a month old pix from the pumpkin patch & her adoption announcement- but just love her facial expression...
