Bear Lake

I know it has been awhile "okay November" but I could not miss the opportunity to Blog about our family vacation to Bear Lake. Jim has the week off work so we decided to spend a couple of days at the KOA. If you have never been there I highly recommend it. Just bring your allergy medicine. The first night my eyes swelled up I broke out in hives and I had to wear sunglasses the rest of the trip. My kids had a blast, Jackson wants to go back to his cabin house.

I want to post pictures but it will not let me. Pictures are soon to follow.

Meet Our New Additions!

This is our new sister/aunt Kari. Her and Robert were married yesterday.

This is our new little nephew/cousin Josan Michael Fox. He was born early this morning at 4:30 am. (Thanks Tammy for the pictures-I hope you don't mind!)

Here he is with his proud dad Adam.

Annie had a long day but did great! She's already a great mom!

My two cute flower girls!

It was a great day but a long day for everyone! Here is Jackson, who decided to take a nap in the middle of the floor during the reception.


Jim and Rory went to get us all dinner from Burger King. Rylund wouldn't take this off the whole time. Everyone got a big hit out of it!

A quick family snap shot. (thanks Lori)

The Bruderer girls

Rylund, Jackson, & Kaemon. Everyone was getting Kaemon and Jackson confused-even their parents!

The twins with their new aunt-they love her! (we all do)

It was a struggle but Jaycee ended up catching the boquet. (I really hope she's not the next to get married!)

Congratulations Annie & Adam and Rob & Kari!

My Politician

PRESCHOOL CLASS PRESIDENT

Maybe it was the red white and blue

Rylund came home from school today VERY happy, he told me he was the class President. Ya, thats cool, was my repsonse( thinking he's telling me a story). Later that night I got in his backpack found another kids paper in there that said if he was elected President he would give the kids extra snacks. Rylund got so mad he did not have his paper because he was President, after pulling everything out of his backpack I found his paper. He preceeds to tell me to look at the blue dots those are all my votes! So Rylund is preschool class president he promised he will let his class have 10 minutes in class to play with musical instuments! Hey, ya never know maybe in a few years it will be the White House.

Also he never talks to me about school, but today he would not stop (being president and all). He told me a lady( Mrs. Robin) came in and taught them spanish. Wow! thats cool I asked him to say some words and he did about 10 words in sign langues. I guess he's a little mixed up. What a ham!

HALLOWEEN

Hannah Montana, Monkey, Southern Bell, and a scary skeleton. At least one of my kids decided to be scary.
The buddies, Jackson and Kaemon.


Taryn, Jackson, and Joelie



Don't know how to rotate it. Joelie and Cecily

All the Bruderer cousins

Happy Birthday Cecily!!!

Cecily Marie Mills

Cecily turns 9 today!! Wow!

We started the day off with a new hair style and cut.

She looks so cute!

Her first guitar :0

After we got her hair cut we went to walmart to get her gifts she wants to learn how to play the guitar so here it is. Then out to lunch.

After lunch her friends and cousins came with us to see High School Musical 3 and out to icecream. Girls LOVED the show, they had lots of giggles. Jackson danced the whole time also.

Now, what to say about Cecily. She is a very special girl. She is a great help to Jim and I. She loves school and books. She thinks she is older then she is. She is quick learner and exceeds in anything she does. She loves piano and dance and playing with her cousins Taryn and Jolie. In fact she will do anything to stay with them even holding on to her dads leg.

Happy Birthday Jim!

I know,I know, Why do I only post for birthdays? Well....I'm too lazy to sit down and do it. But the love of my life, my very sweet Jim is turning 32 today! I would just like to say a few things about Jim: Jim is an amazing husband, he always goes out of his way to make sure I'm happy. He can always make me laugh and is there when I need to talk, and yes he listens. He has been great since I have been working. He takes such good care of the boys and they love being with him. He made a schedule for them that includes reading books, golfing(but sadly for him he had remove it because Rylund did not care for it yet) playing games and going on bike rides. What a fun dad!!! I asked the kids to tell me their favorite thing about their dad and here it is.

Cecily- He is nice and helps me with piano.



Jaycee- He snuggles me and plays wrestle daddy



Rylund- He reads to me and snuggles me



Jackson- outside ( what else would a 2 year old say)

Happy Brithday Jaycee!

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, it's because my life has been a little hectic lately. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give a Birthday shoutout. My little Jaycee turns 7 today! I can hardly believe it. Our family just wouldn't be the same without Jaycee-she's such a little firecracker! She has such a great sense of humor and loves to tease, she's extremely artistic, witty, and clean (she freaks out if anyone goes in her room-especially if they touch her perfectly made bed). She is such a fun person to be around and can brighten anyone's day with that toothless little smile of her's. Happy Birthday, Jaycee! We love you!

We're FINALLY Blogging!!!!!

I have finally given into the peer pressure and started blogging. Hopefully, I will have lots of fun and interesting things to share. It seems as if I am the last person in my family to do this, so maybe they will all quit bugging me!! :0) With 4 kids under the age of 8, our lives are pretty crazy. We always have a new story or disaster going on here. Maybe if I blog them, I will think they are funnier than when they are actually happening. This should be like cheap therapy, right? Anyway, I am going to give this a shot. Wish me luck!!!
