Memory Pillow

About three months ago I got a memory pillow with the arches to help support your neck while you sleep. Well today we were sitting on my bed and Kelbee said "mom, does your pillow help you remember things." I just looked at her kind of perplexed and then I realized why she said that. I said "oh, you mean because it's a memory pillow?" Todd was on the other side of her and just got the biggest, cutest smile on his face. Kids defiantly do say the darnedest things!

Brylee's 1st Birthday

I don't think she even tasted the cake!


Starting to dig in-with a little help from Kelbee

Opening her gift from Tonya and Brad-it is so cute!


The kids throwing water balloons at Cowboy Todd

Cowboy Todd was taken out by the last shot

Enjoying the box more than the actual gift. That's why Todd and I just got her boxes this year...something she would actually enjoy


So intently opening a gift from Jeff and Missy

We had a "Down on the Farm" party for Brylee's 1st birthday. All of the kids decorated a wood cow with little puffy pom-poms and then they caught Cowboy Todd with their water balloon weapons. He almost got away with the cake, but lucky for us, they had good arms so he couldn't escape! I can't believe that a year has passed already. It is such a bitter sweet thing. I love every stage that they go through, but I hate to see them grow up so fast!!

Chuck-e-Cheese Pizza or a Straw? It's a toss-up!!

Riding the go-round. She got scared when it went around-as you can see-she about shizzed her pants

Brylee and my mom

We went to Chuck-e-Cheeses on Brylee's birthday. Todd had to work that day so I didn't want to have her party without him. It was pretty low-key, which was really nice. Katie, Jenny and the kids all came. Along with my dad, mom, Jeff, Missy, Taylor, and Cindy. The girls earned enough tickets to get Hannah Montana over-the-head microphones and little hair clippies. I was thrilled!!!

Princess Raimee's Wedding



Raimee thinks that she is a princess. One night she talked my dad into marrying her and being "pwince dewick".

She's "Off To See The Wizard"

She loves her swimming suit, purses and shopping.

Girls Night Out

Me, Brie, My Mom, Missy and Tonya. We went to Los Hermanos to do our favorite things. That is something that we started about four years ago (with the idea from our friends the Marchbanks) We all do our favorite thing from the last year for each other, whether it's a craft, food, shoes, etc. It's a lot of fun and we try to keep it a secret as to what we are doing. This year it was extra fun because we had all 7 grandkids with us!!

5K Lavendar Days Run


All of us girls right before the race started
My mom pushing the girls for the last 2 miles. I had to make sure to stay right in front of her so I didn't feel "so" fat and out of shape!!

Right before I passed out after the finish line! Not to brag but I came in 257th!!

Brylee enjoying the bagels after her long ride in the stroller


Me, Tonya, Brie, Brylee and Abbi. This was about a mile from the finish line and seemed like a fabulous excuse to stop and have a rest. My mom and sister Brie had been training to run 5K's and somehow talked me and Tonya into it. It was such a pretty morning. I think the highlight of the race was when we passed the first mile marker and it had only taken us 16 minutes. When we got to the finish line we found out that the fastest person had finished in 15 minutes and a few seconds. I knew I was going to get a trophy forsure!!

Tired Brylee Bear


Brylee never falls asleep unless she is nursing. Well today I thought I would just jump in the shower and let her play in her walker for a minute. When I got out I could hear her fussing a little so I hurried and got dressed. When I came out I found her like this. I had to take a picture. If you look close you can see that she is still whimpering just a little!!!
