Best buds...

Braylen and Carsen love each other so much and it just confirms the relationships that sisters have that nothing compares to it! I am extremely blessed to have 2 sisters that are my best friends and confidants! I pray that Braylen, Carsen, and our new baby girl will all have the same connections and relationships as I have with my sisters! Something so incredibly special and I am thankful to have all girls for that very reason. Here are some pictures of them lately. Picture day, a fun day at Braylen's school, and a few rand silly pictures.

Easter 2012

Easter was wonderful this year! The weather was gorgeous and the girls loved
celebrating...especially Braylen!



We did Easter baskets that morning and had a light breakfast then we were off to church. After church we met up with the Bodie family and had Brunch on a patio at a wonderful restaurant Village Tavern. It was excellent and we all left over filled. We then packed up in the car, came home for a quick change and a few chapters in Hunger Games, then we were off to Grant's grandmothers house for an Egg Hunt and dinner. It was a great day and everyone was in good spirits! We can't believe it is already April...just 4 more months till our other sweet little baby girl enters this crazy world.



This picture is hilarious! Braylen loved the Easter bunny but kept saying...."he has hands?" "why is he wearing tennis shoes?" "he is just pretend mommy?" I couldn't help but chuckle and IGNORE her comments....but seriously Mr. Rabbit...where are your gloves and shoe covers? Way to get a little girl curious!?!? However, Braylen is VERY intuitive and observant so hopefully we will be able to keep her on the bandwagon for all the holidays with imaginary figures!!!

Summer vacation prep....

She is ready to see the Princesses!!! Going to Disney World in June with all my family....we are so excited! This will be our extended family vacation this summer instead of our usual Beach trip....baby is due right in the midst of our usual July trip! Braylen and Carsen got a small taste of the Disney characters at Disney on Ice...what a fantastic show!!!

Surprise....!

Everyone loves surprises, right?!? Well we were very surprised to find out we are expecting baby #3!! And i can honestly say, this surprise was not very exciting....at first!!! I had just finished nursing Carsen and had finished the mini pill as well! I was waiting to start my cycle (basing off of when i started after i finished nursing Braylen) and i never started. In fact, around mid December i started feeling funny but i was 'cold' sick too so i just assumed i was really sick but it all came down to me being pregnant! I was in denial for a little while, really didnt believe it until i FINALLY went to the doctor and at that time i was 9 weeks! Along with being shocked, i was also Super sick. This was the worst sickness compared to the other pregnancies and they were all rough! So our due date is August 5th but the doctors already said i can get induced on July 30th and i am definitely taking them up on it! This is our 20 weeks so we are 5 months in and just found out that PINK is VERY favorable in our family! Another healthy baby girl is on the way!!! The girls are thrilled to have a new baby and a new baby sister! Braylen calls it 'my baby'!! Will try to keep you all posted a little bit through out this pregnancy....it has been tough with two to grab pictures and do follow ups! Cant even imagine what it will be like with two!!!

Lately....

Here are some pics of the girls lately! Some are from Valentines Day, a couple are from our trip to BabyLand General and the others are just random pictures of the girls.
Our schedules are constantly busy! I hope to get back to a normal blogging schedule. I use it as a journal for the girls too but lately i have failed! ;)

Christmas 2011

This year was a wonderful Christmas for our family!!! Braylen was definitely a believer which was so neat. ANd the Elf on the Shelf was the biggest hit of all. Our Elf's name was Artie (not sure where she came up with that) but still to this day she is wanting Artie to come back and visit. She was SUCH a good girl when ARtie was around. Grant made a comment that for every holiday we need a thinger majig like Artie.....lol! It was pretty amazing how good she was when Artie was watching.
So the girls got some fun toys from Santa and TOO many gifts from all their loved ones!!! It was such a wonderful holiday that I look forward to next year...hoping that Carsen is more into the Christmas spirit. Here are a few pictures to look at.








Also....I have added some pictures of Braylen's school Christmas program. She was an angle and loves to sing. And her Christmas party...they had happy meals which made them very happy!!!

We are still here....

Haven't done this in a while but now I can do it on my phone so I wanted to share the photos of Bodie and Braylen having fun at the mall! Bodie is here for the Christmas break. Braylen and Bodie get a long so great together.
