Monster Jam Tongue Twisters

I haven't posted a video in awhile... but Bracken trying

to say all the names of his Monster Trucks is pretty cute.



A Day in the Sun (in February)!

A sunny, 60 degree day in February

is a good reason to get outside!

Bracken climbs the "mountain"

(which is only about 5 feet tall)!

 Reagan takes a moment to ponder...

 Yes, we must splash in every single puddle.

 Being goofy.

 Hopscotch!

Demonstrating the "Superman"!

Catching Up With Technology

I have a growing collection of photos taken on my

phone that rarely get uploaded to my computer...

here are a few from the last month.

We do actually leave the house once in awhile!

In January we decided to buy a pass to our

Children's Disovery Museum and it has become

a regular visit every Thursday after school

with some of Reagan and Bracken's classmates.

Reagan awaits a dental checkup from the triplets :)

 This is typically where Bracken is stationed

for the duration of the visit.

Wooden cars and trains, who would have guessed?

 Reagan preparing a birthday cake in the bakery.

 Bracken is taking a turn in the full size tractor that

they have modified to be kid-friendly. 

 This is what happens if we don't leave the house

for a few days...they eventually turn on each other.

 Big smiles for Daddy when he gets home!!

Paintin' the Day Away

 A new paint set makes for a happy afternoon! 

 Her creations...

"Monster Truck" for Bracken!

 "Reagan with sun and hearts" for Mommy!

Go You Redbirds!!

Look what David found in the basement...

somebody thinks it's pretty cool!

 "Daddy can I wear it?"

 Here goes!

So tough! Look at those MUSCLES!!

 Getting his balance...

What a big boy!!

 Grrrrrrr!

 Don't mess with me!

 Time for a water break.

(pretty funny watching him try to take a drink)

January Happenings...

Not much is happening in January...

the kids are back to school and

the weather is cold again.

Oh yeah, and the typical Tuesday night

Piggy Back Extravaganza!!

 (don't worry - he ducks under the doorways)

 Hanging out at the top of the stairs... (?)

 Reagan said she was going to draw a Bee.

I think she succeeded!

 Waiting so patiently to go sledding!!

(I decided against bringing my camera - for the

safety of myself and my children!)

Monster Truck: So Cool It's Scary.

Bracken's big gift from Santa was a

MONSTER TRUCK

that drives super fast and kind of freaks them out a bit.

But, it's still a ton of fun.

 Cornered by MONSTER TRUCK!

 At least everyone is getting some good exercise!

(seriously, I should have bought one of these years ago)

 Bracken tries to step on MONSTER TRUCK!

 MONSTER TRUCK goes one way,

and they go the other...

 Making peace with MONSTER TRUCK.

 Hooray for beautiful Christmas weather!!

Holiday Fun Part Two

Santa has come!!

 Not sure what is going on with the lighting

in some of these photos... it must be

the magic of the season.

 BOOF! POW! BAM! BOOM!

 Think she likes it a little bit?

 He was ready to dig in!!

 The two special things on her list were

rocking chair and Lion King...

captured in one photo.

 "Take them out! Take them out!"

Bracken can be very demanding.

 His very own Ford F150 "Monster Ruck!!"

(just like PaPa Dave's truck except this one

is orange with ridiculously large wheels)

 Checking out his new Spider-Man, Batman

and Super-Man books from his stocking.

We had a wonderful Christmas

at home and hope you did, too!

Holiday Fun Part One

A few days before Christmas we traveled

south to visit PaPa Kenny & Grammie Carla

and celebrate with everyone.

 A cute shot of 3 out of the 5 grandkids...

Carly, Calvin, Reagan and the back of Drew's head.

 Hanging out before the gift exchange

with Aunt Laura and Uncle Matt.

 Reagan and Bracken open the first gifts...

 Carly and Reagan enjoying a

princess book by the fire.

 PaPa Kenny has his hands full!

 Calvin, happy to have a peaceful moment,

reads quietly before bed :)
