Time to catch up

Yes, we are alive. We have had a couple of crazy weeks and honestly if I had any free time, I was lookin' at the back of my eyelids:) So I will begin our little catch up with Brayden. He turned 11 months and finally started moving (which is probably why life is more crazy and I am more tired). I wanted to caption this picture, "Who is watching the kid". Man is he fast! He is crawling, he can stand up and get back down and he is scaling the walls. We think he sould be walking soon. He and Jett are playing so well together, now that he can follow Jett where ever he goes. They will even go into one of their rooms and play together for a somewhat long period of time. It's kinda nice...minus the random screams of pain being inflicted. Their new favorite playtime is playing in Jett's shark tent. It's so fun to hear them laughing together. Brayden is still having some sleeping problems/screaming problems at night. We are desperate to find an answer and are hoping that there is light at the end of this very long and dark tunnel.








My sister came up to IWU for the weekend, so Lee, Becca, Greg, myself and the boys went down to see her for a dinner. It was quite the hectic meal, but with kids, when is it not:) After dinner we went to McDonalds to hear Jett scream in fear of the slides:) Needless to say, we didn't stay there long. Then we went to the school and hung out in the game room for awhile. It was fun to watch the boys play and for Jett to get all excited because he was with Aunt Megan. I didn't have much of a chance to talk with Megan because Jett demanded all of her time, but it was nice to just be in the same room!





My mom turned the big 53 this year and still looks like she is in her 40's. I hope I get that gene:) We had a little Birthday party for her. We had my parents and Lee and Becca over for dinner. Jett worked all afternoon making her Birthday signs to hang all over the house. His favorite part was putting the candles on the cake and helping her blow them out. Happy Birthday, Mom...you look great:)!!!!!!!!

We had a huge LOST party last week when it premiered. We, meaning my cousin Alyssa and I...earlier that day Greg found out he had to overnight somewhere, what a bummer). We had a bunch of friends over for the evening. We gave out invitations that went with the theme. We decorated with putting airplanes crashing into plants, setting out Dharma labeled food and I put a wing from one of Greg's planes on the front porch. We had a mystery dinner with all code words from LOST. We played a game about your trivia of LOST and the winner recieved Dharma peanut butter. Then we all sat down in excitement over the new episode. It was so fun watching it together and especially the part where we all screamed at the scary part. Our wonderful guests included Alyssa, Tim and Emily, Nick, Randy and Casey, and Darin and Darcy.
