Birthday Party Extravaganza!

Brayden turned 5 on the 12th! That is also my mom's birthday (she is 23 as Brayden says :) ).  We planned out a birthday get together for the family to celebrate their special day.  It turned into a crazy week.  Brock's birthday was 5 days prior, Brad flew out a day later to his best friend's wedding and flew back in on Brayden's birthday just hours before the party!

We invited a couple friends and then immediate family.  Brad and I set up to surprise the boys by renting a bounce house for them! I could just picture their little faces as I made the plans for the party. 

There were balloons set up along my parent's driveway, the bounce house was there and set up, and pizza in the oven for later- PERFECT!

The kids all had a blast in the Monster Truck Bounce House! Us adults even took a couple turns (don't tell because the weight limit was 125lbs ;) ). 
Brockster saying "cheeeeeese!"
Brylee starring at her daddy! So sweet!
All of them bouncing around...so hard to get a good shot, lots of action!

Grandpa John gave the kiddos tractor rides, which you know boys and their tractors = LOVE!!

Evan (Brayden's classmate) riding and driving for the first time!
The Birthday BOY!!!
Brayden and Evan = buddies!
The yummy cake! Sorry I cannot get this to flip around for the life of me! And yes, they spelled Brayden's name wrong, but I was in too big of a hurry to have them fix it.
Grammy with her Neeley grandchildren.
And with all 5 of her grandchildren! Isabella once again screaming because I picked her up and put her near the others and away from her momma!  One day we will get a good picture with all of them :).
Brock waiting to open his presents and not letting anyone take them away!
Brayden with his stack of presents.  He was so sweet and told Evan and Dominic to come help him open them.  He is so nice!
We had so much fun with our family and friends! Thank you all for such a great day! Happy Birthday Brayden and Mom!

Peacock Lane

We took a trip to a local Christmas Landmark- Peacock Lane.  It is in Portland.  Every house on the lane decorates with Christmas lights.  Several do amazing things! I had not been since I was younger.  I had wanted to take the kids in the past couple years, but we just did not make it. We had a clear, dry night and took advantage. :)

Moved & Ready for Visitors!!!

We are officially moved people!!!! After a month and a half of constant work in getting the place ready, we have made the journey and came out in one piece for the most part.  We have gotten things unpacked and put in their respective places.  And been finishing up some details in several rooms.  We have some smaller projects left, but the majority of the work is done and the house looks great!  We now have it decorated for Christmas and ready for Santa to make his stop. Brylee would like to give you a tour! Enjoy the pictures: The front of the house: The side view of the front yard: A view into the backyard: The front porch: The Sunroom: The Kitchen (a little dark), but the paint looks awesome! The One and Only Bathroom: The Spare Bedroom (technically the master on the main floor, but the closet is so tiny we chose another room): The Dining room: The Living Room: The Stairway/Hallway upstairs: Sitting area at the top of the stairs: Our Master Bedroom: Bryle...

Per my mom's request I am posting some pictures of me when I was young and some pictures of Brylee.  My mom was recently going through some old photos and gave me these.  She said that she could not believe the similarities as she was looking at the pictures.  So Mom here you go! These are me at 13, 15 & 16 months:                               And here is Miss Brylee:                                                                   Other than I had a lot more hair than her at the same age, we do look pretty ...
