The twins birthday

It was the twins second birthday an Nov. 30th.



BrynLee is so funny. If it is possible for some to be both a tomboy and a prissy girl, then that is her.
She love to get all dressed up with bows and dresses and she LOVES shoes, but if anyone is wrestling she will be the first one to jump in on it. She is also a little boss, it makes me laugh because she is always bossing braxton around in their own little language (and if he doesn't do what she wants she takes him down) it is pretty funny.




I call Braxton my bipolar baby because one minute he is having a great time and laughing and in a split second and for an unknown reason he will freak out in a full on kicking and hitting tantrum. I don't know what to do with him sometimes and other times I just want to kiss his face off. I know what your thinking "typical kid" and I agree but in his case it is very extreme.

this one's for Betsy lol

Hey guys,
I know that Betsy will be happy that I finally updated our blog. Well Christmas is over and I am kind of relieved and sad at the same time. It is always crazy on and just before Christmas, with all of the party's that you go to but it is great to see everyone that you don't see very often. This year I was kind of an idiot because I bought the twins baby vsmile and I just figured that I could get Kota some games to play in it to. I let Steve's mom give them to him and he opened them on Christmas eve and lol and behold the older games wont work in the baby one. Ya I'm pretty much and idiot! Anyway when kota found out he was so sweet that it broke my heart. He got huge tears in his eyes and asked if we could email Santa and tell him that all he wanted was the big kid vsmile. How could I say no to that, he was so sweet about it, I remember how it felt when I was a kid if something I got didn't work. So kota sent a email to Santa and all it said was VTECK. (he wrote it himself). So of course Steve and I didn't know what else to do but start calling all of the stores to see if we could find one. Finally I found a Kmart clear in West valley that had one and Steve went to get it at about 9:00. Of course it was twice a much as every on else paid but hey, I guess that's what you get for being an idiot. I was cut when he opened it because he started jumping up and down and yelled " Its just what I wanted!" so that made all of the panic worth it.
The twins actually loved opening their presents to but I made the mistake of getting different presents for both of them. It turns out that the favorite present is a $5 doll stroller that I got for BrynLee. That stupid thing has caused more fights than anything else that they got. Sometimes I wonder about braxton J-K, he plays with strollers and likes me to put bows in his hair ha ha. No I'm just kidding, instead of pushing a doll around in the stroller he wanted to push his new remote control car in it. It was pretty funny.
As for Steve and I we had a nice Christmas because Steve was actually able to make it home just before Kota woke up. He had been plowing since 11:00 the night before (he went earlier than usual) an was lucky that it quit snowing. I worked out perfect but of course both of us were pretty much walking zombies because neither of us got any sleep. But that didn't matter that much because I actually felt semi ok (migraine wise).
we hope that all of our friends and family had a great Christmas and will have a fun new years eve/ day. I hope to see you all soon. Thanks for being such great friend to me and my family. You help me more than you will ever know.
Love you all,
Candice (and family)
