Suckers....

You know those sweet bonding moments you experience with your kids? Well, Dean has one that he has shared with all of our kiddos. Taybri's served two purposes though... Her first sucker with dad, and a comparison to big sister! We are still wondering who Taybri looks like in our family, she seems to have a little of all of us in her tiny features!

You want me to what?
This is the best day EVER!
Here it comes..... the sour face! Now the next picture is of Brylie's first sucker and the last one is of Taybri. (Yes, we put her in the same outfit on purpose...)

Well, the sour faces have similarities...

Go-Cart Fun/Happy Birthday Brant!

Today is my little brother's birthday! We don't see him much, but whenever we make it home, we sure enjoy playing on the go-cart he left at my parent's house! (Even though it's more fun when he is there, we appreciate him letting us use it when he's not!) Here are a few photos from this fall of the kid's enjoying Brant's go-cart. Thanks for letting us play with it Brant! And Happy Birthday!!!!

Quiet, reserved, Brylie is a maniac on this thing! It's so funny!

Cuteness

Just looking through pictures and waiting for new ones to load.... Answer me this: How can something so naughty be so cute?!

Do You See What I See?

It's part monkey, part human, possesses no fear, and loves to climb! Yup! That's Kayden! Let me show you how he accomplishes such a feat...

(These pictures were all taken from a distance, he didn't know I was taking them until the very end when he yelled, "Mom! Look at me!!" )

"I wonder if I could...."

Toad! Someone tell me how on earth we haven't had stitches or broken bones with this kid, yet!

Flys...

I LOVE the Fall. It is my favorite season, way too short though. The only thing I don't like about Fall, is FLYS! I HATE them (and my kids will tell you- that is not a nice word!). Dean says we get so many of them because of all the corn fields being cut, I say we get them because of his pickup! The flys are always buzzing around that truck... I've learned that those stinkin' flys are a little slow movin' in the morning (I guess the pesky fly and I have something in common...) maybe because it's a little cold, so after breakfast I walk around with my trusty swatter and get out any frustrations I may have that day. I show NO mercy.
Today, I caught one on the table. Which still needed to be wiped down from breakfast (hence the waiting until after breakfast part). After I finished my massacre throughout the house, I went to the sink to get a rag to wipe off the table. Kayden is sitting at the table with his airplane toy near the dead fly. And this is what I hear...
"Thanks for the airplane ride, but I need to go to preschool today. I have a field trip!"
"Your welcome. Where should I land?"
"Oh, I don't care, I'll just walk to my preschool, it's not very far away."
"O.k., make sure you have your seat belt on, we are having a rough landing!"
"Oh No!" There's a fly!"
"Smash it!" sound of his toy hitting the table over and over again...
"I sure got that fly good with my airplane, I'm a good flyer, huh!"
"Yup, you killed it!"

Well, as long as he's not playing with the live ones.... I'll guess I'll let him have his fun!
As a side note, Brylie can catch those buggers with her bare hands! It's amazing!

Chop! Chop!

A few weeks ago Brylie got asked if she wanted to donate her hair to locks of love. A girl in our ward was putting it together for her senior project. So, Brylie thought about it for a long time and finally decided to do it. Niki ( the one doing the project ) called one night saying she was ready to do her's, but wanted Brylie to come do it with her! So off we went. I think it gave Brylie the courage she needed to see Niki go first. She donated 15 inches and Brylie donated 11! They both laughed nervously through the whole thing. I think it's adorable ( on both of them! ).

Brylie's turn!
One pony tail down, one more to go!

Showing off their new do's. Pretty cute. Good job Brylie!!
