Wrestle Mania

So the other day when we were watching my cousins kid, Christian, they decided to do some wrestling. After about 10 min Christian said "on ultimate fighter they take their shirts off to look tougher," so off came all the shirts along with BrynLee, she has to be doing anything that the boys do. Then I decided to take some pictures, so I told them to look at me and none of them did except for Braxton who usually screams and fights about pictures. You might be looking at the pictures saying what is Braxton doing with the foam light saber, well he thought it would be a lot more fun hitting people with the light saber than getting pounced on by everyone. I did have to ref a little because Christian and Kota are big into the karate thing and they would start punching and kicking a little. As all of you know this whole thing did end with kids crying, but they had fun and luckily no permanent damage was done to anyone.

Fun Outside

Today was interesting, the kids wanted to play outside so I said OK. They told me they wanted to play with Ranger so I let him out to play with them. It was all OK, for a while, then next thing you know BrynLee is trying to dig a hole in the snow like Ranger had and Braxton was chasing after the dog with the bat. At first I thought this was cute until I heard BrynLee banging on the door. Sure enough Braxton had turned on BrynLee and hit her with the bat, she was crying and telling on Braxton (which she is very good at) at the same time. I wish I would have gotten a picture of her because the bat had mud on it from the sand box and she had a big mud spot on her cheek. In true style BrynLee stopped crying almost as soon as I had acknowledged what had happened and told Braxton he was going to go to time out. She can already fake cry with the best of them.

Weird Sleepers

Yes this will probably be the most we blog all year, but at least I am doing some. Any way, if I were to take a picture of BrynLee sleeping at nap time every day this is what you would see. She sleeps just like her mom. (With her blanket / pillow over her head). I would post a picture of Candice sleeping but I'm sure that she would kill me when she found out. Then their is Braxton, when he is mad at us for putting him down for a nap he thinks that he is some how getting back at us if he sleeps on the floor.

Twins Birthday

This is the twins birthday, the big 3. They both were being so good not to open any presents before everyone got there. Once people did get there it was "go" time, they tore those presents apart and got right to the good stuff. They both got movies, p-j's, undies, and of course TOYS. They had a blast. The last pic is them after blowing out the candles, Braxton and BrynLee thought it was so cool to finally blow out their own

candles instead of having to help everyone else all year long.

The King Of The House

I had to post this pic, I find Braxton sitting like this a lot. He thinks he is the king around here. He dose so many funny little things its nice to catch some of them on camera.

Kitchen Project

So this was the kitchen project this winter. Candice had the idea of getting rid of the small cabinet next to the fridge, moving the fridge over, and putting it into the wall so the kitchen would be wider, about two and a half to three feet wider. I took the first pic after the cabinet was already pulled out, I always forget to take them before I start. Then I had to cut out some drywall where the fridge was going to go. The fun stuff was moving the light switches to the other wall. I did drill a little wide the first time and made a hole in the wall next to where they were going to go so I had to patch it. Luckily we had bought extra tile so I could break out some of the old stuff that I did 2 years ago and redo it to match the pattern that we did with the cabinet there. Last was the worst part, in the last pic you see the cabinet that we had made to put next to the fridge to bring the wood back to the other side of the kitchen, when I cut the hole for that I had to move the water lines that ran over to the sink. The cabinet had to go right over where they were. I extended the lines and pushed them to the side and put the cabinet in the wall. Only one injury during the whole process, I managed to smash Bryce's finger between the wall and the cabinet as he was helping me lift it into place. In all I think Candice had a great idea and I should have done it when she first told me she wanted to, witch was about a year and a half ago. I kept putting it off telling her it would be a long project, come to find out it only took about two days worth of work.
