Bradens Mini-Me

My Little Artist

Keegan LOVES to draw! He can go through a 500 sheet pack of white paper, a box of crayons and a package of markers in just a few short days. Last night we rented ET and watched it. I am encouraging (forcing) the kids to watch some older movies. They really enjoy them once they do sit down and watch them. And theres only so much SpongeBob, Bionicles, and Lightening McQueen one Mom can take.

As soon as Keegan woke this morning he drew this. (for some reason the scanner divided it into three pics?)

First Tooth!

Daytons first tooth popped through yesterday!! It took about 14 hours of crying to gert it through, but he did it! Just before bedtime it broke through his gum. He is almost 8 months old, so I guess it is about time.

Mihama Ferris Wheel

A few weekends ago we had ventured out to Mihama American Village. We decided to take the boys to ride the Ferris Wheel for the first time. The sky was nice and clear, so it looked like a great day to get a birds eye view of the area. I read somewhere that the ferris wheel is 50ft. high. Seems alot higer than that when you are looking at the ground. IT was really fun, I think I was the only one a bit scared. I made everyone stay as still as possible so we didnt rock our little carriage.

Binge Blogger

I am a binge blogger. I have the time to post and catch up on some things, so here you go!

KES celebrated Red Ribbon week last month. The purpase of Red Ribbon week is to teach the kids to Say NO to Drugs!! Each day had a different theme. I think Monday was "Dont let Drugs turn you inside out" so the kids wore their clothing inside out. Then Tuesday was pajama day, Wednesday was Sports day and Keegan wore his soccer uniform, Thursday was Crazy Hair day, Keegan had his hair spiked :) On Friday everyone wore red and they had a small parade around the block. At the end of the parade we were met witht the 3rd MEF band. They were awesome!


Here a couple videos I took. It was really windy, sorry about the noise :)

My very own Jack-O-Lantern

I know I am late in posting this, but Keegan lost another tooth just a few days before Halloween. I told him that he was my very own Jack-O-Lantern!!

Bowling Fun

Here are some pics from a recent "field trip" Braden took. We try to arrange an outing with his friends once a week or so. He excitedly refers to them as his field trips. For this field trip we called a few friends and invited them to meet up at the bowling alley. There were 9 kids there and a few babies. Everyone had so much fun!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

For the past several months Braden has told everyone that when he grows up he wants to be in the army. More recently that has changed to him wanting to be an Army Diver (I have no idea if these exist as he hasn't met with the recruiter yet ;) I have tried my best to talk him out of it. But, being the stubborn three year old he is, he is still determined. Until...
I let him help me make pizza! Now he wants to be a pizza man! I am so proud :) No more dreams of the Army (at least not for this week)

Like I have Nothing Better to do!

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!Hope this makes you SMILE :)

Who's Raising Who?

I shamefully must admit I received my first speeding ticket this week. Yes, it was my first ever. I was driving 54kmh (33mph) in a 40kmh (24mph) area. I knew the speed limit in residential areas was 40, but I didn't think I was in a residential area, never mind the posted speed limit, I mean really, who has time to read the signs). Well, the street I was on has a Dorm building, and I guess since some people reside there, it is deemed 'residential'. I assumed the speed limit in housing was lower because of children out playing, etc. Anyone living in the dorms should have enough sense to stay out of the street right?
Well the next day I decided to tell Keegan that Mommy had gotten a ticket the day before. He looks at me in complete astonishment. "Mom, did you tell Daddy yet?" "Yes, Hun, I told him yesterday" "Did you lose your license? Did you go to jail?" "No Hun, I just got a ticket and points on my license." "Well, what would you have done if they had taken your license." "I dont know" "I guess you would have put them in the jogging stroller and pushed them all around the place to run your errands, huh" "Yes son, you are right, I will be more careful next time" "Good!"
