Brylee's Art Show & Trike-a-Thon

Brylee's preschool always has an annual art show. Parents are invited to view their child's art work. They also have Jumpers for the kids. Thankfully, I was able to go to her art show for a little while. I got to look at her work for a little while, but then she was on a mission to get the Jumpers. Brylee also participated in the St. Jude's Trike-a-thon at her preschool. She even made it on the WCBI news. I didn't get to go to that one, but thankfully, my sweet hubby did. Brant did it every year in preschool. I am so glad that Brylee can participate in this worthy cause!

Egg Huntin' & Easter Fun

We had a great Easter weekend. We headed to Meridian to visit Mim & Pop. We had a lot of fun just hangin out and playing. On Saturday, we went to my brother's family's annual egg hunt and cookout. The kids had so much fun - Brant & Brylee found tons of candy and some money. Brant even found the Grand Prize egg, which meant he won a plastic golf set. They LOVED being at Uncle Eric's egg hunt and really loved playing by the pond. Brant even found a crawfish and put it on my shirt. I immediatly told him to get it off of me! I would love some crawfish to eat, but not to wear on my clothes!

After all the fun, we headed home to prepare for the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny left lots of good candy. Brant scored some more silly bandz, including the ones he has been begging for - the mystical ones. He also got Alvin & the Chipmunks - The Squeakwel. Brylee got the Princess & the Frog DVD, flip flops, & a Cinderella doll. We then got ready to go to church. After church, we headed for Bryan's parents. We ate lunch with all of Bryan's family. After lunch, Bryan hid eggs but unfortunately, Brant & Brylee have been egg hunting for at least 2 weeks - gearing up for the big weekend. Well, I guess we did it too much because, Brylee didn't even particpate in the hunt. Brant hunting all by himself. After all the fun was over, we got ready to go to "Living Pictures" which was awesome as usual. Brylee even watched this year. It really makes you put Easter in perspective. I am so thankful we had a God and Savior that sacrificed his life for us, even though we did not deserve it!

Brant's Spring Break and Surgery

Brant was scheduled to have his tonsils removed during Spring Break. The Tuesday before his surgery, we planned a fun day. His dad took him to the skating ramps at Propst Park to ride his scooter and to practice baseball. We then took him to the store to pick out favorite after surgery foods. He chose his favorite restaurant to eat lunch - Mi Toros! Then, we went to see Alice in Wonderland. Later that evening, both Brant and Bryan headed to a Wild Game Supper at church. Wednesday was his scheduled surgery. We had to be at the hospital at 6 am (UGH!) Brant was a little nervous, but did awesome. He was the second scheduled surgery. His surgery started about 8:15 and was over around 8:40. He was back in the room a little before 9. After his surgery, he was upset. He kept saying he wanted his tonsils back! He calmed down and then ate around 4 or 5 popsicles and later on, 3 cups of vanilla ice cream. We were able to leave the hospital around 12:30 and were home by 12:45. The nurse let him ride in the wheel chair downstairs - he totally enjoyed that. I am so proud of him throughout this whole process. He did so great!

Earrings!

About a week after Brylee's birthday party, we finally decided to get Brylee's ears pierced. She had been begging to get it done. We took her to the Accessory Corner, where they will do both ears at once. She did awesome,only a few tears afterward! She was so proud of them! She wanted to just sit in front of the mirror, just looking at her newly pierced ears!

Brylee's 3rd Birthday!

(WARNING - Long Post & Lots of Pictures!)

We had Brylee a birthday party with one of her best buds, Ty, at school the Friday before her birthday. Bryan and I took off for Brylee's party at school and even checked Brant out to celebrate, too! We celebrated with a chocolate chip cookie cake and mouse ears! Brylee was really not in the mood to celebrate. She had just woken up from her nap and was ready to leave. She eventually warmed up and started enjoying herself a little. Bryan served as entertainment for the class! I know her teachers were glad for us to leave so the kids would calm down! After we left, we went to Lee Park and played since it was actually a nice day. We then got to pick up her birthday cake from Mrs. Kathy - Hello Kitty! Brylee was having her 3rd birthday party at Jump'n G's! She was so excited about her special day! We woke up early to get ready for our 9:00 party. She had such a great time! She enjoyed every minute. She absolutely LOVED sitting on the pool table while she opened her presents! We then went to eat with our family at Mi Toro's. After our lunch, she went to open more presents from us at our house. She got some dress up costumes and a Hello Kitty bicycle with a baby doll bicycle seat on the back! She was so excited! She had to immediately try it out!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Brant had another family project due by his Valentine's Day party. He had to decorate a Valentine mailbox. I thought and thought of what would be a good box for a boy. After thinking and searching for ideas, we decided to make one of his favorite cartoon characters - Sponge Bob. I must say, it turned out super cute! Hope everyone had a super Valentine's Day!
