I had to add the Eclipse countdown. I bought tickets to go to the Twilight trilogy. I will get to watch all three movies in a row at the theater! I am so excited. I am going to Walmart to buy a Twilight T-shirt to wear to the event. Even better, I am making mom wear one too. I will post pictures.

Also, I saw the Swagger Waggon commercial on Utube and had to post it. It just made me laugh.

Today is a quiet day. No friends over at all. My kids are having a read-a-thon. For every book they read they get a treat. Thank you Laurie for the idea. They got to pick any spot they wanted to read. Aubrie took control and set up camp under the kitchen table. They have had a blast.

OH NATE!

OH NATE!!

I sent Nate into Home depot with instructions to buy the top two colors of paint on the paint card. I assumed he did. We prepared the room (this was a major job) and were ready to paint the main color. Nate--he is so helpful--got started without me. He thought the color was a little bright at the store. He bought it without question because he has blind faith in all things pink. When he started painting, he thought the color was a little bright, but trusted my choice.

HE HAD THE COLOR CARD UPSIDE DOWN IN HOME DEPOT!!!!

THIS IS THE RESULT.

It has words on it. I would think you could tell up from down. Now I have to go buy primer and the right colors. I will do it myself for sure.

Aubrie loves it by the way!

Catch up time

Prom
Uncle Nate you are so handsome! We are happy you belong to us. We love you.

Grandpa and Grandma look so nice. Cody is happy to be included.

Goofing around.

My boys are so cute!

This is Cody and his friend Hamelton going shopping with their mommy's in St. George.

After a bath. Just to remind his Aunt Emily and Aunt Alicia how cute and fat he is.

I seriously never catch the smile. I am always 1 second to soon or to late.

Happy Easter!!
I was going to take the kids to Zions. Maybe just the Imax now.

First the wind tore apart the trampoline enclosure. Notice it is missing the net. Then the snow came. Happy Easter weekend. I am sure we won't be wearing shorts and flip flops.





Notice that is our power wheels completely covered.
This has nothing to do with the snow. I just made the funnest little blanket this week and I wanted to show it off. It is a rag quilt so the edges are all frayed. Notice the hanging loose hand. Fingers are fairly hard to sew. My friend Faline had to pose in this position while I drew it. The kids thought we were nuts I am sure. I am making one for each kid so I will post pictures when they are done.

What's new

Hi everyone!
This is just an update on the Breinholt Kids.

Nate had a birthday. He turned 9! He is now a Bear cub scout.
For his birthday he took some friends sledding. We had hot chocolate instead of ice cream.
We had a great time and went home FROZEN and WET.

Nate got glasses. He is getting used to them more every day.

These are some pictures of Cody. He is growing so fast. I just wanted everyone to see how cute he is. Who knows when Aunt Alicia or Aunt Emily will get to see him.

Sledding at Grandpa and Grandma's

Uncle Nate built this ramp for sledding in their backyard. It didn't take long for the kids to hop on and start sledding. They have been out there all day. They are having so much fun.

So far no major injuries yet.

Picture Time

Grandpa Allen bought these shirts at Universal Studios Orlando Florida this summer. We have been excited to take a picture with them ever since. This has been planned since way before Cody was even born. These are a little blurry. My camera isn't very good. Maybe Santa will get the hint :) Then we can get more clear pictures.

I had to bribe them to smile and pose. They got to open the box they were sitting on. When they saw it wasn't toys inside they actually started crying. Well just Aubrie mostly. Inside the box was new coats for each of them. If you have seen them around recently, you would know how bad they needed them. Nate and I really had to convince them this is a good gift. Glad I didn't wait until Christmas to have them open it. It's always a bummer to have tears on Christmas morning.

I am a proud mommy.

These are just some cute pictures of Cody.
