Princess Trio

Have I ever said that we live with a princess?
Well, this is total proof!
Brynley had two of her good friends come over to play.....you guessed it
PRINCESS!
Such cute princesses...don't you think?

Princess Girl playing Power Rangers

I was going through older photo files and found this little video clip of Brynley. This is from August 2008, so it's not too old.

I just thought it was cute.

She first comes in and wants me to put Braden's power ranger mask on, then goes in the hall, and says..........

Super Why to the rescue...and

power to read...and

save the day....and

cowboy girl.

and then runs down the hall.

She was doing it over and over again. It was pretty funny!

Some Photos

So I thought that maybe I should post since a I recently changed the look of my site!

So, here are some photos.............

In December, Scott had a little fender bender on his way home from work.

It was his fault, not being able to stop in time, but thankfully everyone was O.K.

The best part of the story is the car he rear ended was a 2007 Porche. Nice, huh?

Here is the damage. Not too bad!

Braden's encounter with Santa!

Here is Brynley with apparently the same love of shoes that I do!

Brynley's Pre-School Christmas Program was so cute!

I was actually surprised she performed because she pretends to be so shy, so I was very proud of her.

And her singing was so good!!

Braden's Baptism on November 1st, 2008

Braden was so excited to be baptized!

Scott baptized and confirmed him on November 1, 2008.

What a neat day it was!!

I just loved watching Braden's excitement.

I love my Braden buddy!

We had a lot of the family come from St. George, and had such a good time!

Little girls...

So for reference, Yvonne blogged Brynley's hair last post. Well, this morning for church Yvonne had prepped Brynley's hair last night and it turned out very similar to that picture. Of course she looks adorable, but we're the biased parents, right?

Well, we pull into the church parking lot and are unloading the kids when Brynley looks up at her mom and says, "Someone's gonna look at me and say I'm pretty." I don't even know what to say, but it sure was cute. We had a good chuckle on the way into the church.

Some more pictures of my family

Just thought I would put some more pictures up while I am at it.

On Sunday's, after church my kids love to make treats.

This is some caramel corn we made, yummy!!!

I love Sunday afternoons.

My Brynley girl. We waved her hair for school pictures. We went and picked up her pictures from the school a few weeks later and she loved them. She held her picture in front of her and said "oh my goodness" like 6 times and then said" I need to show my daddy". It was so cute!!

I caught her doing this while our bedroom was in chaos and the phone was on the floor. Don't you love it? Is she 3 or 13?

Fudgesicle mess!!

First day of preschool. She loves her Miss Tina!!

Braden out on the soccer field. He did so good this year in soccer and made quite a few goals. Go Braden!!!!

House Paint and Carpet Done!!!!

Yeah!!!! After 5 weeks of chaos the painting and carpet are done! We painted Brynley's room first, painting it (princess) yellow. Braden's room was next, painting it (transformer) blue. The bathroom was next painting it a light green. We also upgraded the mirror in the bathroom to huge!! Our room was next, painting it a color called mortality. Scott says it looks like chocolate milk. I like it alot, but I really like chocolate milk. The next was the hall, front room, and kitchen all in the same color all in one day. Whewww, what a project. Especially all the taping, and taking off all the light switch and plug covers. We even took down Scott's 80 lb. T.V. and the rack it is up on, so we could "do it right". That day was about 12 hours of painting. Scott did the edging and I did the rolling of the paint. Let me say I was beyond sore the next few days.

Next came the taking out of the old carpet. Let me just say disgusting!! Thank you to my friend who let me use her shop vac to get up all the dirt. Lots and lots of dirt! And then finally, the new carpet. Which is by the way what started this whole project. I wanted new carpet. But since our paint was the original paint and the studs and nails were showing through the wall, we thought it would be easier to paint without having to worry about the carpet.

Some pictures....

The kids rooms during painting

The kids room after painting

During the painting of the hall, kitchen, and front room.

After the carpet was pulled out.

After the carpet was installed!! YEAH!!!!!!!

I don't want to use a paint roller for years!

Now I just have to get the pictures back on the walls and window treatments up.

We'll see how that goes!!
