Deceptively delicious!


So I bought this cook book to get my kids to eat a little better. But actually it has worked pretty well for Brian. I tried the tacos and you are supposed to put crushed tomatoes in with the meat and use turkey burger. Anyway I did this and Brian said it was the best taco's he has ever tasted. After that I tried sloppy joes with some sweet potatoes in it. He couldn't even tell. Its funny though for a while there we would eat dinner and then I would look at Brian and say guess what you just ate?:)

Bradyism's

Brady is constantly telling me funny little things that go on inside his head. (mostly they are funny because of his little accent) Anyway on the way to school today. He said "adults don't have to go to school huh mom." I said yes but most adults have a job or something they have to do every day. He said "well I'm never growing up,cause i don't want to get mewied (married) cause I'm going to live with you and dad forever." Then the other day he was telling me that we have peoples (pupils) inside our eyes to help us see. He is to cute. I will miss it when is little accent disappears.
Other Brady words:
quissa (krissa)
pwactice (practice)
smarshmellows (marshmallow's)
wesling (wrestling)
gwampa (grandpa)
dinair (dinner)
fewt baw (fruit bar)

Brady wrestling

Brady has been in wrestling for a couple weeks now and he loves it. I told brian if he is going to like any type of sports it was wrestling and I was right. It helps though that he and his dad wrestle all the time at home. I think its just anything that he and dad can do together and he is all for it.

Messy Baby

Krissa was supposed to be feeding paislee some spaghetti baby food. But apparently she got tired half way and just walked away. Well what you see below is what happened next!

Game Night



Josh and Amanda invited us over for game night on Saturday. Amanda said it was to kill another 2 hours of her pregnancy:) We all had a good time even Brian who doesn't really get into games.

Tea Party

Krissa made this little tea party for us. It was really cute minus the tea, we had water with a side of gold fish and vanilla wafers. She is always planning a party for us all to do. She even wrote the song on her art easel and sang it for us. We love her so much.

Flash Back Friday

11-28-01
I just thought I would share these pictures because today krissa came home from school with a library book called "tell me again about the night i was born". Anyway I was asking her if a teacher helped her find this book and if she knew it was about adoption. She said "well i told my friend bodie I was adopted and that I got to celebrate twice a year because of my adoption day. He said that sucks." I asked her why he said that and she said "he said it sucks cause he only has one day a year to celebrate." Anyway it got me thinking so I pulled out the pictures of the very first night we met krissa. She was in her then foster home an we had driven over to see her. I still can't get over that there is a picture of Jesus behind Brian in the picture. Truly meant to be!

Future ballerina


I got this little ballerina outfit at the second hand store here. (mostly because I knew krissa would love it.) Krissa keeps telling me can she please wear it next week to my visit week at ballet. Of course it will probably be cuter without the jammie's underneath.

Its snowing again ahhhhh


The only thing getting me through these snowy days is looking at my sisters pictures of her kids at the park in shorts. Because in a few short weeks I will be spending a week down there. Hopefully just soaking up the sun. I'm so ready for spring.

Nintendo Wii boxing

There seems like there should be something so wrong about a dad boxing with his son. But Brady and Brian seem to love it. It is kinda cute when brady yells "your going down".

Squeaky Shoes


I just wanted to post these cute shoes. They squeak when the baby walks and don't you just love the cheetah pattern.

Across the Universe


My sister recomended this movie and I have to say I thought it was great. If you don't like the beatles or musicals you won't like this movie. But I thought it had amazing music. I actually went out and bought the sound track before I saw the movie. Its a great story and great music. It does have a few weird parts but it fits with the movie.

No, no,no

Paislee's new word No,no,no.

Rexburg Idaho

Brian had to go to Rexburg sunday and monday for work and lucky me he works with his friend Nate and Nate's wife is my friend Jeni. Anyway Jeni and I decided to tag along and do a little shopping while they worked, and let the kids get a little swimming in at the motel. Other then Jeni and I getting lost a few times (don't ask how i could get lost with a gps in my car, but I did) we had a great time and the kids had a great time just being together. The ride in the car wasn't so bad. But it must have not been great because Paislee learned another word this weekend. No no no. Paislee didn't make it to the pool but I just had to take a picture of her in her swimsuit.

Setting my blog to private

So I have gotten a few "what the hecks" since i set my blog to private. I really only did it because i got a few comments from people i didnt know that said click here. When you click there my computer blocked it for spam. So by the time i got the second one I thought it was safe to make it private. If anyone knows anyone that looks at it and still wants to let me know and I will be glad to invite them.

Whats your true color

Take this test!
You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

Krissa's party

This sitting in a circle is about as exciting as krissa's parties get. Fun huh.

Brady's party

Brady had a little valentines party at his preschool. Here are a few pictures and also a video of them all playing musical chairs. Brady's teacher was so proud of him because he wrote all his valentines himself.


Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone. I thought I would post a picture of me and Brian when we first started dating. What a lucky girl I am to have such a great guy. Without him I wouldn't have the wonderful kids and life that I have.
