Briggs

I just can't get enough of this cute, funny, sweet, smart and handsome guy! His new favorite thing is "I spy" books. Oh and he cries like crazy every time Katelyn goes to preschool with out him! It is so sad, but gives her the biggest hug when she gets home! We love Briggs!

Katelyn loves the camera...

Man we love this kid!

Cooking with Mom

My kids love to make cookies...well lets just say they love to eat cookie dough! I am asked several times a day to make cookies. I love that my kids love to be with me in the kitchen, even if it all ends in a HUGE mess, I mean who makes cookies and keeps the kitchen clean?? Not us!

Bath time

Katelyn loves bath time...it really use to be a nightmare when it came time to wash her

hair. In fact we use to have to dump water on her head just to get the shampoo out, horrible, uh? But we had no other choice. But know she loves it and enjoys washing her hairand swimming in the tub! Boy am I glad!

Baby

Briggs has been pretending lately that he is a baby. And even sometimes that he is a puppy. He loves babies and baby animals too. I don't know about you, but I think he is one cute baby!

He would fuss and fuss until I buckled him in the car seat. He even took a nap there!

Family Bike Rides

Our favorite summer evening activity as a family is bike rides. Especially Katelyn, she loves every minute of riding along on the back of her dad. Briggs really enjoys it too! Katelyn can ride her own bike, but we decided for family bike rides we would get her a "co-pilot" attachment. This way she was much safer if we wanted to go on busy roads or longer rides. Here are a few pictures...

I pull Briggs in our bike trailer, which he loves too

Katelyn all ready to ride

He was SOOOOO mad that the sun was in his eyes.
He kept saying to me, "mom the sun yikes me".

It was funny, but he wasn't laughing.

A new hair cut...

Briggs was well over due for a hair cut, so on his birthday my Mom gave him a buzz! I think it went well and that he looks so cute!

He is so cute, funny, smart and very sweet! He gives the best kissess and hugs daily!

For Briggs' birthday this year we had 2 parties. My Mom and Dad along with Mark and Beth came over for cake and presents. Briggs had a great time and loved the attention. Briggs got a ball hoop from my parents along with some clothes. We bought him jammies and a bubble gun.

We then had a little party with Sherm's parents! They bought him a new BIKE!!! He was so excited and loves his bike. The bike they bought is just perfect for not only him but us too. The bike comes with a long handle for the adult to push the bike and also steer the rider along. Such a life saver! His Aunt Lindsay bought him a wistle, gee thanks Lindsay! All and all Briggsie really had a great birthday! What a lucky boy!

Party #2!
