So, I'm really behind the times here, but i thought you guys might like to see some pictures from my sister's wedding.
I love spending time at Aunt Michele's house. Above is Miss Sarah. Sarah and Mak are usually inseparable. On most days Sarah will give me the biggest hugs. I love how in this picture it looks like she's using her banana as lipstick.
And then there's Thomas, or as i call him Tom Tom. Tom is my special friend. He loves to sit on my lap and look at all the pictures i take on my phone. He can name most of the people in the pictures. But don't let the sweet smile fool you, between him and Brenix...mischief and trouble rein.
Here's my sweet Cecily. One of my best baby sitters. If we could find the time her and i could sit for hours talking about everything from baby calf's to books that i think she'd get a kick out of. There are 3 more but i couldn't get their pictures. Mike, Kindy, and Becca. Great kids. But Gregg says if i spend much more time over there that I will probably have to start paying rent.
As for my kids they are still the coolest kids in the trees. You add all of these guys together and it proves that even though life is hard, there are still things in it that will always make you smile.
For Easter this year, Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) gave the kids kites. And on the first fine day that we had we had to try them out. MaKayla couldn't stop laughing, her Tinker Bell kite went the highest and after holding it for about 20 minets, she gave up and took a seat.
I love this picture you can just barely see Brenix's kite in the air, but the best part is what happened next. He let go. It was great to see Gregg run as fast as the could to grab it before it blew over the fence.
Life on the farm is always better when we get to play with the tractor. This has to be their favorite thing to do with Gregg.
So we don't always get to be together as a family in the evenings, and it's a big deal when we are. I thought you guys would like to see what it's like.
Gregg makes a great horse, and the kids take full advantage of it.
But the best part is when Brenix gets his way and MaKayla has a chance to see what Dad feels like. We sure had a blast.
MaKayla is having her 5th birthday today. And is loving every minute of it. Grandpa and Aunt Kindra (aka Aunt Bob) came to see her this morning and that was awesome. 5 years sure do fly when your having fun. 
This is MaKayla's Birthday cake. She wanted a princess cake and this is what i came up with. She is so excited. It great.
Brenix turned 3 yesterday. I can't believe it has been 3 years. He's such a happy and helpful little boy, but as most of you know he can't talk yet. But it's a new year and our one goal this year is to have him talking by his next birthday.
So this is the cake that I made for him. Brenix loves cars...well anything with wheels really. Anyway we had to take a picture because it didn't last long. Brenix love chocolate. He got some new Hot Wheels, a new shirt, and all the cake he could eat. All and all no too bad of a day.
We have had the coolest snow storms in the past week. And when it all started to melt the snow started to melt off the roof and freeze like this. Now i know it's not all that original and everyone has seen this stuff before, but my kids loved it. And as MaKayla says "Wow, these are the coolest icicle's ever!"
Brenix is not quite 3 yet and already he has started Pre-School! It was an early morning for both of us on Thursday, but we made the bus on time.
Don't let the pictures give you the idea that he was happy at all with the whole thing. Crying wasn't the word for the sounds coming out of him when he saw he was to ride on the bus, more like screaming bloody murder. But we survived to tell the tail and it will help him to learn how to talk we hope.
And as you can see from this badly taken picture Brenix also has a black and swollen right eye. How did this happen....I'm not exactly sure. All I know is that yesterday afternoon Brenix came screaming to me from the back end of the house holding his eye. MaKayla followed close behind, and when I asked her what happened all she said was "He was in my room" Great excuse for blacking your little brothers eye huh? So now they are both miserable, Brenix can't see out of the one side of his face and MaKayla can't play with Sara for a whole week. Can't get much more exciting then that.
It was cousin Sara's Birthday last week and i took Mak and Sara out for lunch to celibrate. And for desert we went back to Aunt Michele's to have ice cream. And as you can see everyone had a good time.
With it still being cold outside, we have been spending a lot of time teaching Brenix new games. So far he picked up on duck,duck, goose, Red light Green light and hide and go seek. Not being able to say much that any of us can really understand, Brenix has put his own stile into the games. Duck duck goose is my personal favorite, it sounds like "Da Da Da Da Gooo!" It's a work in progress.
