Mother's Day

This was by far the BEST MOTHER'S DAY EVER!! LOVED IT! We started the day by meeting my parents for breakfast. We then went home so Collier take a nap. Then we headed to Muscatine to check out Weed park and the play ground down by the river. The kids loved feeding the ducks at Weed park and we were even lucky enough to see some adorable ducklings. We plan on bringing Brenna there to fish next weekend.

The play ground was a lot of fun and it's so pretty to look out at the Mississippi while the kids played. Brenna loved the play area and Collier warmed up to but for the first half hour he just liked making us chase him.

Collier made Daddy take him for a ride too!

Carnival Time!!!

Yesterday, was Brenna's school carnival, and it was a lot of fun. The theme was Nature, so the games all involved nature things. Some of the games were birdseed dig, bowling (the pins were recycled bottles), a recycling game, bean bag toss, and a fishing game. There was also a jump house, petting zoo, and an area for the kids to plant a flower. Brenna was really excited that Grandma and Grandpa were able to go. Mommy really appreciated the extra help!

This was the golf ball toss.

Today we went and tried on dresses for Katie's wedding. Of course Brenna was in heaven and she looked so pretty and grown up! I don't know if she can't wait the whole 5 1/2 months until the wedding...lol!

Today is my nephew Rayden's birthday! His party was Saturday at Camden park and all the kiddos had a blast!

Such a big girl!!

Brenna is officially 3.5!

Yesterday, Brenna turned 3.5, and its hard to imagine that she is going to be 4 in 6 short months. She talks about her birthday party almost everyday. I think right now she's leaning towards a Minnie Mouse cake, but I'm sure that will change!

*She is really liking the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show. She watches it every morning.

*She also really likes her Princess and the Frog movie and Spider-man.

*She continues to be very girly. She gets up everyday and MUST get dressed, even shoes, and her hair done.

*She is still obsessed with Taylor Swift! We have to listen to it in the car everywhere we go. I REALLY need T.S to come out with a new C.D!

*She is still really into puzzles, and does great with them. She can do the 48 pieces by herself!

*She doesn't really play with a lot of toys. She likes her books, dress up clothes, and barbies. She has started to pretend play with her Barbies, which is so cute!

*She is doing great at school! I am so glad she has so many friends, and her teacher adores her.

*She LOVES being a big sister. Today we were driving by the farm down the road and we saw the baby goats. I slowed down so she could see them, and I pointed out that there were baby goats. And she said, "And look! There's the big sister goat!" LOL!

Brenna at almost 6 months. (It's a little small...it was in my photobucket album).

Brenna today!


I liked this one too, I couldn't pick a favorite!


She is turning into such a beautiful little girl!

I'm a little bored so I thought I would post some pics from the last 2 days.

Playing with chalk! (I have no idea why this is underlined).


Collier attacking me! The minute he sees the camera he's in my face trying to steal it! Little Stinker!


He was watching YGG and fell asleep, so Carly thought she would steal some cuddles.


He had a diaper rash the other day so I decided to let him run around nakey. Well he fell asleep! Notice where his hand is....lol! Typical boy! (Apparently, the couch is a little on the dirty side! Eeeek! Better get on that!)


She was all tuckered out from playing outside!

My wish list!

All day I get to hear about the many things Miss Brenna wants. The child has a wish list a mile long! lol! I'm a little bored, so here is my wish list!

A new camera! I would LOVE a new camera, and hopefully I will get one soon! Wyatt~this a hint for you! A new camera would make a GREAT birthday present. ;-) I don't need a expensive fancy one, but I would prefer a canon!


A pretty washer and dryer. Yes, the set I have work just fine, but they're not purty! ;-)


I want a hybrid SUV. It doesn't have to be a Tahoe or silver. I just want a vehicle we can all have room in and that looks pretty! I have a great car right now, but its on the small side. Plus, if someone wants to ride with they have to cram themselves in our car, or they have to drive themselves.


Need I say more?!?! I want to go on a vacation somewhere that looks like this! Well...screw it...I'm being greedy...I would like to wake up EVERYDAY to this!


I want an AMAZING kitchen, that's fit for a Chef! Love this kitchen!


A girl can wish right?!?! ;-)

Pinkalicious Cupcakes!

Brenna and I decided to make some "pinkalicious" cupcakes.

Yummy! She loved them, and said she was going to turn pink....hah!
