We squeezed in fishing, 4-wheeling, shooting, smores & a trip to the fruit stand in Santa Clara! Super fun! Wyatt just liked to "play" with the fish we caught and carried them everywhere. He named them and everything! Nick, Mason & Willie. Connor loved riding the little dirtbike they had (and so did I!) On the way home we stopped and picked out volcano rocks to take home and the kids are love them! I'm telling you....it's the simple things that make them happy!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730961218086058464noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499424275010945838.post-86986895467520880072009-10-07T23:35:00.000-07:002009-10-07T23:49:06.123-07:00Have you ever done something dumb???<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/Ss2LVfx7_gI/AAAAAAAACA8/d2xxMEH8TgY/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 124px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 124px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390117530456817154" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/Ss2LVfx7_gI/AAAAAAAACA8/d2xxMEH8TgY/s400/images.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Have you ever done something dumb..like have a battle of the wills with one of your kids? Like try to get them to eat something? You tell them you can't leave thier chair until they eat it. And they won't eat it. And you have to stick to your guns because you feel like you have to stick to what you said in the first place. And your child won't budge either?? WHY did I take on such a dumb situation? OVER A STRAWBERRY! The only reason I am writing this down, is so Wyatt & I can laugh at it years from now and say, "remember that stupid strawberry I made you eat?!"<br /><br />He asked me to buy them in the store..they were on sale for only a $1 for a whole package. At dinner, he wouldn't eat any. He's never had any. He says he doesn't like them, but has never had any. This time I said, "you need to give it a chance & at least try it". No go. I said you can't do anything else until you try one. He won't. Connor goes to bed. I <em>want</em> to go to bed. Wyatt <em>wants</em> to go to bed. No go. He's screaming and throwing a fit FOREVER and I finally get a blanket and lay down on the floor by him. I'm not giving in. DUMB! I'll just say that a very late hour finally comes around and Wyatt asks for a new strawberry (since he smashed his with his fist), he tries it and liked it. We went to bed, exhausted. The end.</div>Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730961218086058464noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499424275010945838.post-38760486864842903802009-08-25T15:55:00.000-07:002012-01-20T00:36:08.449-08:00First Day!!!Connor's 1st day of 1st grade! First of all I'm patting myself on the back for getting him all ready for school a little early and we were able to play a lot right before he went back to school. School supplies, clothes, haircut, underwear, socks, food for lunches...the whole dang thing. CHECK!<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>I got him some nicer clothes, but for the first day..he wanted to wear something that would match his lunch box. Awesome. How do you say no to that? So cute & so excited... I'm so proud of him. He was soo after school that I put a note in his lunch. It's the little things :)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374040073341333506" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SpRs-Uw5cAI/AAAAAAAAB_4/YMsZiYEBDlw/s400/Picture+1900.jpg" /></div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374040082547222306" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SpRs-3DwJyI/AAAAAAAACAA/xVanSCB72aY/s400/Picture+1902.jpg" />with his new teacher Ms. Schmitt</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374042554535663730" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SpRvOv7uWHI/AAAAAAAACAg/uyTUGlPQ2tc/s400/Picture+1908.jpg" /></div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><p>AND by the way the weekend before school started Connor got new glasses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He told me last week he was having trouble seeing so he went to the eye doctor Friday and turns out one of his eyes is doing almost all of the work for him to see. So he is supposed to wear a patch in the evenings for 2 hrs. Oh boy. And you should see the glasses...so cute!!! And so thick on one side. He is 100% adorable in them tho!</p><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374041996682416050" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SpRuuRxJT7I/AAAAAAAACAQ/nKwtNSxA024/s400/Picture+1905.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374042011308873474" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SpRuvIQXVwI/AAAAAAAACAY/3KZ112QktF8/s400/Picture+1906.jpg" /></p></div></div></div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374042567415435058" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SpRvPf6gDzI/AAAAAAAACAo/W4kRW717vnM/s400/Picture+1909.jpg" />Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730961218086058464noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499424275010945838.post-25992922714182515222009-08-18T10:14:00.000-07:002009-08-18T11:41:09.921-07:00A Good Night (for once)Connor wanted to see Ponyo for the FHE activity last night so that was on the schedule. I picked the boys up after work and...they got right in the car (crazy!) and we went home and had the FHE lesson on Following Jesus. Both the boys were so good..both sang and offered to say the prayers & made thoughtful comments duing the lesson (crazy!) We had dinner and everyone got along and helped clean up (crazy!) We packed up our treats and headed to the movie and had a great time.<br /><br />I get sooo frustrated on a daily basis with them fighting and not listening when I ask them to do things. It was so nice to enjoy our time together instead of it being miserable with everything being difficult. Thank you boys!<br /><br />P.S. A favorite quote from Wyatt during the lesson..."Jesus is like Handy Manny. He helps everyone and fixes anything."Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730961218086058464noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499424275010945838.post-54713788308670773382009-08-09T21:36:00.000-07:002009-08-11T09:39:36.482-07:00Oh nothing really......<div align="center">Summer has been zooming by without much posting going on...

Robin finally just got it down for him to finish.

So like mankind to make Easter about ourselvs. Not to say I don't give my kids Easter baskets...but simple is better to me and I want to teach them more about the meaning and not just the candy. That's the way my mom did it and I hope I can do the same.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>We had a great Easter and I hope my kids are starting to learn more as they get a little bit older.

We watched a movie about Jesus' life and I think it helped make sense to them...a little bit :) Emily and I came up with a silly scavenger hunt for them to do Sunday morning to find their baskets. Things like "the women were going to put spices on Jesus' body, go to where mom keeps her spices" hahaha we are such dorks but I hope they are learning something. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>We had a fun weekend and went on a picnic with my family, colored eggs & had a fun Easter egg hunt with the Dukes. Wyatt wore his spiderman costume to the egg hunt...gotta love that. </div></div></div></div>Brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730961218086058464noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499424275010945838.post-62620932119159933802009-04-27T16:15:00.001-07:002009-04-27T16:38:54.157-07:00Bike Rodeo<div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329515239573382482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SfY935fNZVI/AAAAAAAAB6M/0q2ydzVRweE/s400/picture+081.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329515244310286834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SfY94LIk0fI/AAAAAAAAB6c/LSWrDz5rBQI/s400/picture+082.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329515238775442514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SfY932g9zFI/AAAAAAAAB6U/toJ-LVCSR0U/s400/picture+083.jpg" border="0" /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SfY94XpYcqI/AAAAAAAAB6k/efkr-B3Y8GE/s1600-h/picture+068.jpg"></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329519277425741106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SfZBi7qOzTI/AAAAAAAAB60/TlG4edimAu8/s400/picture+066.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329515235558054034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SfY93qh4WJI/AAAAAAAAB6E/8P5bjCPdVLA/s400/picture+092.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329519271631329266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/SfZBimEvF_I/AAAAAAAAB6s/ZKDO4eDdS3M/s400/picture+097.jpg" border="0" />I let Connor ride his bike to school for the bike rodeo and you would have thought he was going to Disneyland. Sometimes it's the simple things in life that makes kids super happy. I followed him in the car really slow to school. I knew I was super dorky and I didn't even care. He was soooo cute.<br /><br /><div>I snuck away from work for a few min to watch the bike rodeo and even got to ride a little bit myself. Poor Connor :) </div><br /><div>P.S.

Around 2 oclock I finally noticed I had a Scooby Doo bandaid stuck to my behind.<br /><br />As "cool" as I thought I was strutting around the office in my high heels....I know without a doubt....I am NOT COOL. I might even think I am cool for a few min in a row here and there, but Connor & Wyatt are quick to remind me that I AM NOT COOL.

I have to admit it though...I love that about him and I hope he is always this creative. It was a busy week because my dad & I were doing house projects, so we compromised and bought some things to make "homemade" cards. My favorite one he made says "ElizaDETH" I love it!<br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309458399670420674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/Sa78SKYRxMI/AAAAAAAAB5A/ljKmys-MBoA/s400/picture+019.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/Sa78p90DS4I/AAAAAAAAB5Q/LqOQO1dypNo/s1600-h/picture+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309458808614112130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/Sa78p90DS4I/AAAAAAAAB5Q/LqOQO1dypNo/s400/picture+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/Sa78pdO6r2I/AAAAAAAAB5I/Ryh0btzC7tM/s1600-h/picture+020.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309458799868424034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_55ukSLNURPU/Sa78pdO6r2I/AAAAAAAAB5I/Ryh0btzC7tM/s400/picture+020.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><br />For my Connor boy...</div><br /><div>I love how you do whatever I need, whenever I need it...usually :)</div><br /><div>You help me so much and act so much older than the little 6 year old that you are.
