Spring Break trip to Charleston 2010

We decided to take a little vacay this year during spring break. This is the first year we have ever done this. We usually just stay here in the cold Idaho weather and pretend that it is springtime. Not this year. This year we packed up and boarded a plane to Sunny Charleston, SC. Can I just say that this is my favorite place. I just love it there, and now Jesse does too! I have been several times for work, but this was Jesse and the boys first time. They all loved it and can't wait to go back. We left on Thursday April 1st and came back Tuesday, April 6th. I had to work on Friday, so Jesse took the boys to the beach, out to lunch and bought them some new shades, flip flops and beach towels. On Saturday we went to the Aquarium of Charleston. It was really fun. On Sunday, the Easter Bunny found the boys in Charleston and left them some goodies. We packed up for the day and headed to the beach. It was so relaxing. It was 85 degrees and the sun was shining. I could have basked in the sun all day long! On Monday we did a little shopping downtown and grabbed some lunch at a seafood joint right on the water. Tuesday afternoon we headed for home. Let's just say that none of us were to pleased to come home to SNOW! We had a wonderful time in my favorite city in the U.S. We are headed back this summer for some more Charleston fun! I can't wait.

My baby is 5!!!!

I cannot believe that my baby boy is 5 years old. That means he will be in Kindergarten next year. Where on earth does the time go? This sweet boy has blessed our lives in ways that words cannot even describe. We are so thankful to be his parents! Brady is a very good boy. He is so sweet and still likes to snuggle, which I really love. He loves to play with his brother. He looks up to Broc so much and is constantly trying to mirror his big brother. Here is a little bit about our sweet 5 year old boy...

Favorite food: Mac n' cheese, chicken noodle soup and Life cereal
Favorite movies: Home Alone, Elf, Ben 10 and Mario Brothers
Favorite things to do: Play Wii, jump on the tramp, build with Legos, play cars
Favorite activity: Go to pre-school (he looks forward to this everyday!)
Favorite color: Blue and white
Favorite clothes: Sweat Shirts... the kid wears them with everything!

Brady had a great birthday. We had a little family party here at our house. He was so excited to pick out his cake. He decided on an Incredible Hulk cake from Dairy Queen. The kids played with all of his new toys and they all had a blast.

Christmas 2009

I absolutely love the Holiday Season. I love to decorate, watch the falling snow and spend quality time with loved ones. This year we stayed home for Christmas. We had Jesse's Mom and Dad, His Brother, Sister n' law and Nephew and my Grandma and Terry over for a BIG Christmas dinner.

The boys came into our room at about 7:00 AM to wake us up so we could go downstairs and see what Santa brought.
Santa brought Broc a big Lego set and he brought Brady the Transfomers that he has been wanted. They were so excited. Then we opened presents. Everyone got way too much, but we all enjoyed being spoiled this year :0) After we finished opening presents, Jesse and I cleaned up then I began cooking. We had Turkey, Southern Potatoes, Sweet Potato Suffle', Home baked rolls, fresh veggies and spinach salad with poppyseed dressing. For desert we had bread pudding and egg nog cake. Dinner was delicious and the company was great. It was another great Christmas to remember!

Brady's Christmas Program 2009

Brady had his Christmas program for his Pre-school. He did so good! I wish I was smart enough to download the video of his part, but until I figure it out... the photos will have to do.

I just adore his pre-school teacher. She is AMAZING! He has loved pre-school this year. He is anxious to go every single morning. I can't believe how much he has learned. That kid is like a sponge!
