The craziest things...

As you can see, Brinlee FINALLY decided to be brave and get her ears pierced. She has wanted earrings like Cambree for a long, long time but was too scared to get them pierced. Our little friend Piper had her ears pierced on Valentine's day and when Brinlee heard this, she gained enough courage to finally get hers done too!

A funny side note: It made Cambree a little pouty since Brinlee was getting all the attention and she sulked for half the day... Just when she was getting over it, we were in the car and Brinlee pipes up from the back and says "Mom, remember that I got my ears pierced today?" And, we started all over again with Cambree saying that we never paid attention to her when she got hers done. Oh the drama....


To top off Brin's weekend of excitement, she lost her 1st tooth!! She was thrilled about her little tooth and couldn't wait to put it under her pillow. Cambree was a lot more supportive of this event than the last... This is a picture of our two toothless girlies. We are in quite the stages around here. One child is getting teeth and two are losing teeth.

Mike thought he would pull a gag on the girls and get them these large pencils. They think they are the most wonderful things ever. So far they have done homework with them and have taken them to school for show and tell. What fun.

And now our "Adventure's in Aidan-Sitting"! These couple of pictures are of the haircut I just gave our little fella. I couldn't stand the long unkempt baby hair anymore, so I took it upon myself to cut it off. It turned out just fine and I am thinking it will be much more boyish looking. *A side note to this adventure is: Cutting hair on a 13 month old is NOT a lot of fun...



A new place for Aidan to explore is the top of the bunkbeds. It isn't super cool. He thinks it is, but his mom isn't really thrilled with it! In fact, we are now down to only one room with the door left open during the day and that is his own room. Today he actually fell off the top bunk and that was the last straw. I am getting so worn out chasing this child around keeping him off things. The things he now climbs are: Up on the back of the toilet, the top bunkbed, the computer chair which puts him at perfect level to climb and sit on the computer desk, the middle of the kitchen table, etc... What am I going to do!?!? Hopefully he doesn't learn to open doors soon since I can keep him out of all the rooms right now. Fun times ahead I can assure you!

Good job on Aidan's hair, it looks way cute! Did he hurt himself when he fell of the top bunk, that is a long way, what a monkey! Brinlee looks very cute with her new earrings and her missing tooth! You'll have to call me and tell me how your party went!

Ha ha! Your girls sound like they make the best sisters. =)
& that's why I like to read your blog, too! It's so great catching up on 10 years of life!! You, my dear, are still oh-so-fabulous!!!

Okay that is hysterical!! I was so just like Cambree when my siblings got attention. HA! Brinlee does look so cute in those pictures. She is growing up a ton just since school started! It is crazy. Aidan kills me. I just picture you with a wet wash cloth chasing him around the house all day cleaning up after his messes and him just laughing at you! :) HE sure is handsome though so I guess you will keep him right?! I miss you... why don't you ever call to chat anymore?

Girls... I have come to realize that girls come with a lot of drama. Glad to hear that my daughter isn't the only one with it. Aiden is quite the climber!! What cute pics of his haircut. Too fun.

Sounds exactly like my house. Olivia fell off our kitchen table so many times I thought she would have brain damage. Congrats to Brinlee on the teeth and earrings. She looks fabulous!

That is hilarious about Aidan. Kelsey is not that adventerous. So I would have told you if I knew Asheesh was pregnant. We haven't talked to her in like years. When is the baby due?

Aiden looks all grown up, not to mention like a little monkey. He MUST keep you busy. Harleigh wants her ears pierced, but then she gets scared and changes her mind. What a brave girl Brinlee is. Too bad Cambree had to share the attention. Siblings, it's a tough deal isn't it!

Guess what? Ashlyn still does not have her ears pierced. She is still afraid. She keeps saying when I am 8 then 9 then 10 so cute. It is so funny because all of her sis. have theirs pierced but that hasn't changed a thing and she is the oldest. You kids are all so adorable!!!

WHAT?! Asheesh is pregnant!?!
Ha! Good luck with Aidan! Kyle (4) was the same way and wow, let me just say, good luck with that. Tyler (12 mo.) isn't walking yet, but he's already climbing on chairs, so we might be in for it again. Little boys are so fun!
Your kids are totally adorable!
