Gratitude....

I have started up my gratitude blog again. I realize it has only been 2 days, but posting this makes me feel more committed to it. :) I love how it reminds me of the simple pleasures I experience every day. I am so blessed.

Brevan is 11!

This year as with the past 4 years, Brevan has had a sleepover with 2 of his cousins for his birthday. They hit up Pizza Planet and then ended the night with some Nerf wars. They always have so much fun and just to put a little pressure on me, his cousin Easton said his favorite two holidays are Christmas and Brevan's Birthday. Even though I didn't do a cake this year, hope it lived up to their expectations. :)


This pic breaks my heart because she so badly wanted to play with the boys on the tramp. :( They are just too rough.

Brevan is an incredibly kind guy. He has grown up so much in this last year and not just the normal growth, he has really matured. It makes me sad that my little boy is more of a little man. I am proud of his values, how well he applies himself in school, how hard he works on the soccer field, how loving of a brother he is, and how incredibly thoughtful and respectful he is to others. He DOES still maintain his MAJOR attitude at home. :) He is such a great guy to be around, and an over-the-top his witty sense of humor. He is too smart for his own good! Love you squishy!

A week of peacocks...

A few weeks ago (I am mega behind on blogging) we went to Thanksgiving Point Farmland with Sloane's preschool. I always enjoy going on her field trips and spending a little extra time with her. Here is her cute class...

I NEVER catch a peacock with its feathers displayed and so seeing this was ultra impressive!

I am kinda thinking they are trying to impress the female, but what do I know. :)

Sloane L-O-V-E-S ponies, so this is one happy little girl.

So this is a shock, but it was freezing. Harper was such a trooper.

We also hit up the zoo with Brevan's friend Thomas. As I pushed Harper's stroller, Brev took on the role of awesome big brother pushing Sloane around. It was pretty sweet and he didn't even complain.

Classic zoo shot.

You better believe it! Another peacock looking impressive! All this in the same week. :)
