Out of the mouth of Brae

Braeden has always been really conscious of his body. Today he said to Cody, "Why do you look so good?(With a complete irritated attitude as Cody was reaching in to the fridge.) Then he stuck out his tummy and said when I do this...like you...people call me fat. But I guess you're used to it...


In defense of Cody, he has been working out at the gym every day this week and is GORGEOUS as is! Notice the Olympic theme music as I am fully anticipating Cody's workouts to lead to the Olympics :)

Happy Birthday Lexee!

We are so lucky to have Lexee in our lives. She is so smart and willing to love everyone around her. She is caring and enjoys life. She can wrestle with the best of them and keeps up with her brothers. Lexee came quickly to our family and has kept us on our toes. She has given us scares and always seems to come out ahead of the game. She loves school, has great handwriting and spells so well. She loves to teach school to her cousins and brother. She is such a girly girl, always waiting to get a little older awaiting make-up, driving and a cell phone. She loves to say her prayers! We love you, Lexee, Happy 7th Birthday!

Valentine's Day

Breakfast in bed was a wonderful treat from Braeden and Lexee. Last night we were grilled by what we would want for breakfast if we were to someday get breakfast in bed.

Check out the strawberry on top. I love that Lexee pays attention to detail. A trait I appreciate.

We awoke to some rattling of dishes and some requests to "SHHH they are gonna hear us!" This was the first morning in a while that Cody was there. It was a wonderful surprise with exactly our favorites.

I am very lucky, Cody saved money from something he sold to a friend and bought me some Valentine surprises. I am so thankful for the thoughtfullness of my family!
