A Random Blog For My Dear Friends!

So, I have been getting harassed by some Blog Stalkers about not updating in a week! I just haven't had anything too exciting going on! Pretty routine around here, so I thought I would copy these photos off of the Trinity Website, as we have become the poster family for Trinity Spirit! No, not really, it is just that Chad is Alumni President, so we get to be on there for that!

This is Braden's 1st day of school, as he leads the line to Chapel!
This photo was taken at the new student ice cream social! We aren't new students, but we had to be there as a representative, so they snapped a photo of the kids!

Nationally Noticed!

So, as Chad would tell you I do every night.... I was online shopping! As I am looking at a cute little boutique, I skimmed through and found one of Baryn's outfits online! I had this particular outfit made last year for Braden's birthday, and the company I rep has it on their site, but to find it on another company's site was just plain NEAT! Take a look at my Daughter's outfit as a model, then take a look at the cute store! So much for thinking she would be the only Baryn in the world, as we probably have started a name craze for Baryns!

and then I found it on another one, as I am still online shopping while watching t.v.!

Where has the time gone?

Man, OH Man! Where has the past 6 years gone? Our "Little Man" has grown up so much! Chad & I are so blessed with our little Braden Wylie! He can be such a joy, as well as such a challenge, but he will always be a Large & in Charge kinda guy & that makes me happy! He will be a great leader & knows EVERYTHING (at least he thinks so!) He has been through so many changes over the past 6 years and just takes it all in! He loves to try new things all the time, even if it is dangerous or challenging! He has no fear and storms the event! He is constantly growing and will soon outgrow me! He has been a great big brother and loves his family dearly! Who could ask for anything more! (except to maybe slow down a little!)

Please enjoy my 1000 photos of my little man, as I have no problem taking photos or sharing them! Chad thinks I take way too many photos, but they are timeless!

Happy 6th Birthday to Our Little Man! We love you!

Toddler Tuesday!

Since yesterday's photo was not so cute of "Pretty".... here is one that is more representative of my baby girl!

Mindless Monday!

Party around the Potty yesterday! We are so proud, not even 2 yet!

What a grimaceing face!

Poor Baryn is gonna hate me when she gets older!

Another One Bites The Dust!

Everyone who knows me, knows my obsession with throwing parties, and Braden has ALWAYS had parties to write home about! (I am a little bias)

Boys parties are just hard to do, and so I make sure that he always has great parties! This year's theme was Pirates and so we did everything pirate related! We had a blast, but boy, is it ever tough to do a party at your own house!

This year was suppose to be an easy year after last year's over the top 18$ a head Midland Rockhounds Baseball party! This was a little cheaper, but not so much easier! Next year, we are going white trash and going to the bowling alley! Hold me to it!

Baby June meet Owen or Brody? (It's one of the Rogers boys!) I think it is Brody!

Baryn was our official Pirate Wench who loved playing in the designated baby Bouncie!


The Kids had fun jumping off of the bounce ship!

Here is a cake as it is collapsing! I chose not to make the cake this year, and I go to HEB for the 1st time for a cake, and it ends up collapsing!

This is the Pirate Ship Bouncie that we put over at Sassy & Poppy's house across the street! We also had a Treasure Hunt which included a Treasure Dig over at Mom & Dad's yard behind The Brown's house! Who can say they had a Birthday Party at 3 houses at one time?

Everyone thought we just had really nice neighbors across the street, to allow us to use their yard for the bouncie! We had cars parked perpendicular in the street to allow the kids to cross safely and as they say.... It's not a party until the Cops have been called! Ironically, it was an Officer in the Gang Unit! We moved our cars and kept a better eye on the kids going between yards!

Here is the younger crew mommies with all the babies!

Here is some of the group at dinner time in our front yard. Braden is still jumping and had no time for dinner!

But he DID have time for Cake! You can tell here that is has collapse and been rigged for the photo!

Baryn take a swing at the Pinata!

And so does Braden!

Wyatt was great at the Pinata hitting! He did great!

Braden opening up his presents at 9:30 after everyone had GONE HOME!

The only family photo we could get all night! It was fun but a crazy evening of organized playtime! We are glad for all that got to come!

Kindergarten, Finally!

Well, today was Braden's 1st day in Kindergarten at Trinity! We are so proud of him and know that he will have a great year! I have added Hospitality Chairwoman to my list of "As if I don't have enough going on" list, and so I have been serving Breakfast to the teachers and parents all this week, and I am WORN out! Today was my last day of being up at school at 6:15 so that it is all set up, so I can come home and take photos with the kiddos! Whooo!

Braden had a great day, but their was a little separation anxiety...... but it was from Baryn, calling for Bubba! She kept calling for him while we talking to all the other parents as we stood around my notorious "breakfast table" and it was so sad!


Baryn & Big Brother on our way out the door!

My Friend, Betsy told me about this great book that mimics "Twas the Night Before Christmas!" Braden loved reading it last night!

Our 3rd Annual photo in front of the teacher's name sign!

Kudos to the Trainee!

I just wanted to comment on my dear, trained, husband! Everyone knows that Chad is the Bomb-Diggity and that I am so lucky to have him in my life! Well, truth be told, I married him knowing that he was great, but more greatness can be trained and so...obviously he has been trained well, and I have pulled all the greatness from way down DEEP! (girls, ...... you can learn something from this)
So on Tuesday, I took the kids to Chick fil A, and invited Chadwick. He showed up about the time that Baby Sister was yelling, "ay, ay, ay" pronounced like "play" without the P and the L. She was conveniently pointing at the play area (yes, Vickie, now I know why you have not once taken Wyatt in!)
Well let me tell you about my great husband (who I have trained so well though this was on his OWN accord)........ He took off her shoes and thennnnnnnn TOOK OFF HER BOW! Now normaly, I don't like Baryn without a bow, as you ALL know, but this time it was perfect since he didn't want her to lose it in the play area!! WHHHOOOOO HOOOOO! How smart daddy of a girl is he? Not bad!!
He knows how important those bows are to me!! Isn't he the best?
