Today we had the Dutch Festival at the school where my mom went, I went, and now my kids go to. My grandparent’s helped start the school many, many years ago and have been an integral part in it’s growth over the years. Madyson even has the same first grade teacher I had. . .she is one of the BEST teachers out there hands down.

One of the great traditions of the school is the Dutch Festival. It is a day filled with Klompen dancing, stroopwafels, oliebollen, and many more yummy Dutch treats. My dad is the auctioneer for the Live Auction and has done that every Festival as long as I can remember. There is also a ton of great games for the kids and over the years, the games have become pretty darn cool! My grandparent’s even get dressed up in their Dutch attire complete with Klompen shoes and sit on the stage in their pretend Dutch house!It’s a great way to remember where I came from and it makes me remember the sacrifices my grandparent’s made to give us the life we have now. We are truly blessed and I am proud to be a part of that heritage!

Here’s one pic from the day of Madyson conquering the rock wall and loving every minute of it!

We had an awesome Spring Break vacation in Palm Springs this past week! We just got home today and I am SWAMPED, but I had to post this one of Bray from this past week at our friend’s house before we left.   Swinging is so much fun for kids and I remember loving it way back when. For some reason now it just makes me want to barf, haha! Hope you all have/had a wonderful Spring Break and have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

xoxo,
Kristin

Somehow his nickname has become Boo or Boodawg over the years. Even his aunts and uncles call him Boo.  We also call him Bray-Bray and that has kind of stuck with our family and friends too.   He looks like a Boo to me and it makes me think of how sweet and generally kind-hearted he is.  This expression is totally him too.  He was deep in thought when I called his name and this face is just SO him!  He’s a lady killer and has lady killer hair to prove it.  I can always hear the girls at school calling “BYE BRAYDEN! BYE BRAYDEN!” when I come to pick him up. I have a feeling I’m going to be one of those mom’s who has a bazillion girls calling to talk to him one day.

Happy 2nd birthday to my baby boy!!! I took him to Starbucks this morning since it was just the two of us. I got him a cupcake and some chocolate milk. . .and wouldn’t you know, he doesn’t want to take a nap today. I wonder why???? Since it’s his birthday week, he gets all of the attention on my blog. Stay tuned for a gorgeous 4 week old boy on Monday!

Here’s a few snaps of the little destroyer enjoying his sugar overload!

Yes, I know we are in week 8. . .I was a slacker last week on the project. BUT in my defense, I have been working my tail off painting and getting our new house ready to move into. So things have been a bit hectic to say the least!!! We are on the home stretch now and the new flooring is going in this week. YIPPEEEEE!!!!

In the midst of all of the chaos, my BABY boy is going to turn two this week.I have to say that I am pretty sad about this. We are done having kids and now I will never have another “baby” in the house. Instead my baby will turn into a 2 year old wild man. Granted, he’s been preparing me for that this last few months, but it still makes me sad that he will be two.

Here he is in all of his cuteness. . .leftover paint in his hair and all. I think we ruined 2 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and 2 sweatshirts in the painting process!

Week 8 coming soon!

Don’t cha think? The destroyer has been at it again. In ONE day this past week, he managed to:

1. squeeze out an entire tube of toothpaste and smear it in the carpet
2. destroy a tube of lipstick and smear that all over himself, his blankie, and my purse
3. climb on the counter and open the Nestle Quik and scoop it out all over himself and the counter
4. break a bathroom drawer from climbing on it

That was just Wednesday. So it’s a little ironic because he looks so sweet, serene, and innocent (innocent being the operative word) in his sleep. But he does snuggle well and he kills me with his grin, so I’ll let him off the hook for all of his mischievous deeds.

I couldn’t pick just one this week, so I’m putting three up of little C taking a nap yesterday.

Have you ever seen a cuter nose?<3

It has been rainy, windy, and cold here this week. Far cry from 80 degree weather just a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, we haven’t been outside much so I wasn’t sure what to do for this week. I thought it would be fun to go out in the rain and stomp in puddles, but we don’t have any rain gear! We don’t really neeeeed rain gear here. I decided to get a head-shot of my cutie-patootie middle child; he is such a sweet boy with a good heart. He can be quite the stinker too so don’t let this sweet face fool you too much. Every night when he says his prayers, he asks God to help Madyson be good, hahahaha.He adores chocolate milk, tickles on his back, and playing the wii.

Ok time to go clean up the house and cook dinner. It looks like the wind storm came inside my house, picked all the toys up, and threw them up all over the living room. Good times. Peace out!

I caught them sitting like this outside and had to grab my camera. She is so good with him (except for when he is destroying her room) and he loves her so much. I want to remember moments like this when he is too big to sit on her lap anymore.

Oh and my idea for this week was originally to get a picture of Cayson getting his hair cut at a barber here in town. But it didn’t quite work out and I even tried to cut his hair myself like I normally do. Only I think I may have traumatized him the last time by using the clippers, so this time he would have no part of me coming anywhere NEAR him with scissors. I’m going to need Captain Daddy to step in on this situation.
