InstaJan 2016

Nothing like starting the new year by updating my care emergency stash.

 

Peppermint ice-cream float with Cherry 7up.  Wonderful discovery. 

Brynn's pretty mad I dyed my hair dark again.  She insists I dye it yellow again.

He reads himself to sleep with a flashlight at night.  #lovemybookworm

She got into the neighbor's lipstick.  I've scrubbed her face, had her soak in the tub, and tried lotion to get it off...unsuccessfully.  So I guess her face will just have to be stained pink for a few days.  On a positive note she loves the way it looks.  #themanylooksofbrynn

Dinner....yum!

My crazy Elsas were born to be friends.

Sometimes a kid just needs to play legos with his bestie.

Please try not to be overly intimidated by our classy-ness.

Fresh out of the shower!

I love when he tells me all about his adventures with Legos!

A little tape over the light switch makes it possible to teach my 4 year old primary kids strobe light free.

New Year's Eve 2015

I wanted to celebrate the New Year, but I also knew that my tire pregnant body could only handle so much.  We decided to just do dinner with one of our family friends.  My friend Ashley moved to the other side of the county several months earlier, and we didn't get to see them very often.  So we got together for dinner, a photo booth, sparklers, a Jazz game, and most important and early bed time.



Ashley is expecting a baby boy a few weeks before me.  So fun!




The kids are so stinking cute!




Brynn was so brave with the sparkler.  In the end she decided it was a little too much.
We did a fake count down at 9:00pm.  It was midnight somewhere, right?

December 2015

The kids love designing play dough clothes.


Wes use to sleep like this with mitts on his hand when he was a baby.  We put lotion and sock on his hand to help fight the dry skin that was hurting his hands.


Wes is having fun making up and writing words.


Making Lego ships

Helping decorate Christmas card envelopes.

Brynn discovered that she can use the camera on my phone without unlocking it.  My phone is filled with random pictures and selfies of Brynn.

Wesley's Christmas concert.  He practiced so hard and talked about it so much.  He really wanted Bret to go, and we were so happy Bret was able to make it work with his work schedule.

A small sample of Brynn's pictures.


Preschool treat.


I love helping out at Wesley's school parties.



Another sample of Brynn getting my phone.  There are hundreds of pictures.

Bret's work Christmas party.



Christmas time at the mall.

What...more Brynn selfies.
