Movie Night!

We love family movie night! Yogi Bear is such a fun movie, and it's even better with popcorn and M&M's.....a favorite of ours! (Summer 2011)

Our little helper!

Brayden LOVES to help me vacuum and help daddy with the backyard! These pictures were taken in July 2011 so he was 2 1/2. And still to this day he loves to help me vacuum and again help daddy with his chores. He really likes it when I clean out my car so he can vacuum up all the leftover crackers and Gold Fish. :)
Brayden loves to get the "real"blower down and he pretends he is blowing the leaves off of the porch. Too cute!!

Payten's Partner in Crime!

These girls always have SO much fun when they are together. We knew Brooke and her family when we lived in Katy. Payten and Brooke were in the same preschool class together. After we moved to Midland, about 6 months later we found out that they were moving to Midland too. And what's even better is they live one street behind us. The girls are such great friends and know how to have fun! :) (Pics were taken in Summer 2011)

This makes me laugh!

My kids LOVE to torture and mess with our sweet cat, Nala. We have had Nala since Matt and I got married. She is definitely apart of our little family. She is such a trooper. Never gets mad at the kids. Just sits there and takes it....we love this silly cat!

The Circus!

The Barnum and Bailey Circus came to the Midland/Odessa area the summer of 2011. It was so fun and such a great show. Kids loved it! Payten is such an animal lover and they even had a dog show which was perfect for her. They had dogs jumping through hoops and doing all kinds of crazy tricks, girls sitting and standing on elephants. It was great and a fun family outing! :)

Payten practicing her words!

I remember this day like it was yesterday! Pics were taken in May 2011, so Pay was  5 and about to start Kindergarden. I love how she wrote, "Payten loves mommy." She did so good!

Brayden loves to read books!

Brayden loves to read books. He always has. These pictures were taken in the summer of 2011 so Brayden was 2. Seems like so long ago. Love this sweet boy so much!
