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!

Say Cheese!

Brant, after weeks of having a loose tooth, finally lost his tooth Jan. 30th. He was so excited. After losing that tooth, his one next to it became loose. Today, Valentine's Day, he lost his second tooth. Tomorrow, to celebrate, Brant & I are planning to go see "The Tooth Fairy". I really don't know what the Tooth Fairy will leave for him - the first time it was a $2 dollar bill and a $1 gold coin! Brylee had dance pictures last week. She looked so cute in her dance costumes. She and her friend got ready together. We played beauty shop with their hair. They TOTALLy enjoyed all the pampering!

Snow Day

We got out of school one Thursday for a snow day - well, I guess you could call it that. It really only snowed a little while. After bundling up, running outside, then heading to a friend's house, the snow had then turned to sleet and rain. Oh well, we got an extra day out and the kids had fun!

100th Day of School

Brant's class celebrated the 100th day of school on January 15th. The at home project was to decorate a t-shirt that had 100 things on it. We decided to make a shirt with 100 bulldog paw prints. I used iron-on transfers to put all the paw prints on the shirt. We even added the words - "Who Let the Dawgs Out?". The entire kindergarten celebrated the 100th day by having a parade. Brant looked so cute with his shirt!
