CHA part II

i love watching my boys sleep---especially bryan. they're so peaceful and QUIET! he crawled into my bed one night and asked to snuggle with me. it ended up him being sick & throwing up the next morning. he got whatever brandon had the week before. ok, on to some more CHA pictures. this is such a pretty work of art!

some canvas projects!

who IS this guy??!! LOL

i'd seriously wear this!

cuteness!!

i was a part of this wonderful group that worked the lawn fawn booth! from L-R: nancy, chari, me, kelly, mike, erika & andy front: laurel & greg

love this pic of kelly & mike!

a pitcher full of pin wheels of people visiting the lawn fawn booth to wear. i'm an expert at making these now! did you see what's next to the pitcher? twine! and such smart packaging too!

pictures of the fun booth

my card for one of the make-and-takes. the chevron stripes are so fun!

lawn fawn has 12x12 papers now & a 6x6 pad! i was lucky enough to not only touch the paper but to also play with them!

the say cheese polaroid frame blown up 1000x! fun photo prop!

i'll have more pictures of CHA soon. it was brandon sick, then bryan, then hubby & i got it last. just getting over my cold now. bryan's birthday was on sunday 1/29 and i was at CHA that day (i felt sooooo bad) & also on the 30th & 31st. so when we finally were all better, we got bryan a cake (from yummy porto's) and celebrated. it's not a birthday unless you have cake!

can you tell he really loves his scooby doo PJs? he's so into it from books to games to the cartoons.

brandon wishing his brother a happy birthday!

thanks for sticking around through this long post!

celebrations

we've been doing a lot of celebrating these past 2 months! we celebrated my niece's 1st birthday, had a halloween party in school, been to a boot camp birthday party, and had bryan's end of the season soccer party. tomorrow, we will be going to brandon's end of the season soccer celebration.

here is brandon walking in his ash costume in the school parade.

one of his 2nd grade teachers....yes, i did say 1 of his teachers. he has 2 teachers this year! they split their days (M&T, the other teacher takes TH&F alternating wednesdays). i think it's great! the teachers are more refreshed and energetic!

here is jadeyn. she's sooooo cute! really makes me want to have another! she looks innocent enough but don't let those big eyes fool you!

here she is climbing up on a step stool. she is quite daring and has no fear.

enjoying her birthday cupcake! she's a quick learner!! and did i mention she started walking at 10 months old!! trouble at an early age!!

it was soooo very hard to get a picture of these 3! i love how brandon trapped jadeyn by locking her in with his legs!in their halloween costumes.

in her other costume.

dontcha wanna just pinch those chubby cheeks??

i cannot believe i have a 7 year old! happy birthday brandon!we celebrated on sunday by going to legoland----his choice! they had their brick or treat event going on. love all the halloween decorations!

bryan at the water blaster getting ready to soak brandon & daddy. he did not want to go on it (or any rides that involves water) because he didn't want to get wet!

i feel a bit guilty for not throwing him a party. but, he didn't ask for one and he had fun at legoland. win win.
