Happy Easter!

My little model..

Braylea and Taylor were able to go on stage with Auntie Tricia after church service.

My big girl..

I had to share these two pictures - I took them with my camera a few days ago.  She LOVES her new sunglasses and loves to show them off..but look at how grown up she looks..it just isn't right.  She is supposed to be my baby!!  What happened??

Visit to see Aunt Lo Lo

This past weekend, Braylea and I went with my mother-in-law to Manhattan to visit Braylea's fav Aunt Lo Lo.  We had such a blast.  We had a great girls weekend filled with shopping, eating good food, a picnic and park time along with beautiful weather!  Can't get any better than that..now Braylea knows where Aunt Lo Lo goes when she has to go bye bye and go back to school.  Enjoy the pics!

Their park was real neat - Brayle LOVED this swing..I had never seen anything like it!



Done..at last

I know I have been slacking on the updating lately.  I'm just not much on getting on a computer after being on one all day at work.  I thought it was time to show the bathroom in which I'm very pleased with!  My first remodeling job and it was pretty fun!  Not cheap..but worth it for the outcome.  We have had most of it done for awhile now, but Bry was able to finish the trim today to give it the finishing touch.  Braylea was super excited to take a bath when the tile was finished.  We had to take one about twice daily for awhile to get it out of her system.  She is nuts!



Braylea didn't think it was right that I was taking pictures of something other than her so she had to cheeze it for a quick picture..goober!

It was so nice to have a tease of Spring this weekend.  We spent it outside as much as possible  - we are all so ready!  I think Winter gets longer and longer each year.  Braylea is ready for the pool not to be night-night anymore..

Finally..progress

Well, the plan of Ty and Bryson doing the bathroom came to an end when I wasn't seeing much progress and Braylea and I REALLY miss the bathroom.  Braylea loved the shower idea for awhile and now is begging for a bath..Momma is too.  I decided it was time to hire someone to come get it done.  So far this week we have the tile complete..now just need the grout and it will be smooth sailing from there.  I am pleased how the tile turned out.  I can't wait to see the finishing touches!

Snow Play

Sunday finally seemed like a decent day to get Braylea out to play.  I'm not sure who loved it more - Daddy or Braylea.

She was SO proud of her snowman!

Tobacco for the eyes and nuts for the nose and teeth - priceless.

Daddy trying to create a sled with scrap parts in the shop.

Hard at work..

So excited!

She kept telling Daddy to go faster - he got a workout!

Big girl wanting to ride the four-wheeler.

And she gets her way..imagine that.

She was in heaven.

Now that Braylea was able to enjoy the snow, so please go away!  Please and thanks!  Where are you Spring?

Bathroom Remodel

Ever since we moved into our house 3 years ago, I have been wanting to redo the bathroom.  Well, the time has come and I finally talked Bryson into it.  Even better - Bryson and his friend, Ty, are doing it.  I have been without a full shower for two weeks now and getting a little antsy.  Having only a stand up shower is making me go crazy!  Braylea thinks she is big stuff taking a shower now since that is our only option.

Here are the gutting stages:
