BRYLEEEEEE!!!!!

The other day I was in the bathroom getting ready for the day! Brylee had brought some toys into the bathroom and was playing on the floor by me. All of the sudden she had left, I thought she just went to get more toys but when I didn't here here for a few minutes, I went out to check on her and this is what I found...
She had taken my mascara off the counter and decided to go and make herself "pretty"! I couldn't believe she could make such a big mess in such a short time! What I didn't take a picture of is, my couch, floor, and her stuffed hippo which all had mascara all over it!! Ugh!!! Luckily it all pretty much came out. Hippo still has a little bit of evidence leftover from his "make-over" but for the most part, he looks ok!

Our first garden...

We decided to put in a garden this year. I have wanted one for a long time so this year I was adamant about having one! Kayston wanted one pretty bad too! He would always ask me, "when can we have stuff in our yard that we can eat?" He was super excited when we finally started planting. Except, yesterday morning, he woke up and looked out the window and was pretty sad when there was still nothing to eat. Silly kid! I think it's going to be a looooooong summer for him waiting for stuff that we can eat.
Since this was our first time putting in a garden, I called upon the experts for a little help! My mom and dad!!! They have had quite a few gardens and they really enjoy doing it! Thanks ma and pa for all your help!
We ended up planting LOTS of tomatoes, green, yellow, orange and red bell peppers, pees, squash, zucchini, cucumbers and the small box is just for the kids.......PUMPKINS!!!

Now, lets just hope those pesky Voles don't destroy all our hard work!!

The last few weeks.....

Gosh, it's been a while since my last post and I feel like I've fallen WAY behind!!
We've been staying pretty busy lately with work, soccer, field trips and everything else that takes place in the life of parents!
I've got a lot to catch up on so sorry if there's not too much written detail on every post!

We decided to put Kayston in soccer this year. We were a little skeptical because last year we tried T-Ball and it was a complete waste! He was not interested what so ever in it and we ended up only going to a couple of games. So far, Kayston LOVES soccer and he actually does pretty well! Except for the fact that he could care less where the goalie is. All he's concerned about is just kicking the ball! =)

Kayston kicking the ball WAY out of bounds!

Kayston had another pretty big milestone! He FINALLY learned how to ride a 2 wheeler! We worked with him last summer but he really didn't care too much about it! This year, he was noticing all the "big boys" in the neighbor hood and he wanted a big bike like them. I told him that as soon as he learned how to ride the little bike, we would buy him a big bike. Well, after practicing for a little while and a little help from MOM, (yes, thank you very much!) He finally got the hang of it.
He was so excited to show daddy when he got home from work and I think daddy was just as excited that he learned cause he piled everyone into the car RIGHT THEN and we went and got Kayston a "big boy" bike!

Practicing on the little bike. Brylee was not making this any easier. She was chasing him around with a toy gun trying to "get him"!

Now trying to get use to the "big bike"Daddy, showing off his skills...if you can even call it skills!!
(Yep, I love this guy!!!)

Last week I helped Kayston's class out with their field trip to the Zoo! Ummm, am I crazy? YES!

They assigned 5 kids in my group and said.. "have a nice time, be back at the bus by 12:30. Oh, and by the way, you're carrying ALL the kids' lunches!" My favorite part is when I would see all the teachers walking around together with NO kids eating popcorn and laughing!
It ended up not being too bad and I'm happy I got to experience Kayston's first "real" field trip with him but, I sure was exhausted by the time we got home.
I've decided that I will help with all my kids' Kindergarten field trips and THAT'S IT! Is that mean??

Notice in the pictures Kayston taking pictures. I got him his own camera for the field trip and I guess he thought that every time I took their picture, that he needed to take a picture! ********************************************************

Brylee is at the stage where she loves to copy people, especially her super cool big brother. She acts like he bugs her most of the time but I can tell just by watching her that she really does think he's the coolest person in the world. On this particular day, they were eating lunch and she was copying everything he did. (as she does most days!)

I love watching these two interact with each other. Well, except for when they're fighting!!

********************************************************

Kayston has quite the imagination. He loves to build crazy things with his toys and he is quite the sculptor when it comes to play-doh! Here are a couple of pictures of his "creations".

Brylee is also going through a stage where she has to include her "Bubbies" (stuffed bunny) in everything we do.
On most days I have to, change Bubbies diaper, give Bubbies a drink, feed Bubbies breakfast, put socks on Bubbies, wipe Bubbies nose, clip Bubbies finger nails, and pretty much everything that Brylee does...Bubbies does. I think it's pretty cute for the most part but some days it does get annoying.

Here's Bubbies having breakfast!

I didn't want to leave out any pictures of my cute kiddos. This is them all dressed up in their Easter/Sunday clothes!

Seriously, can they be any cuter??
