The Bred Bunch!: IOWA!

IOWA!

We had the opportunity to head up to Iowa to visit my brother Brandon and his darling little family for Memorial Day weekend! I am SO glad we went! We had an absolute blast!
When we came downstairs to see where we'd be staying, there were some amazing "Welcome" signs and we felt so loved and excited for the weekend that awaited!

These two are hysterical! They are only 3 weeks apart and full of personality! My mom bought this weasel that you turn on and it just rolls everywhere...boy were these two entertained!

Des Moines had this amazing lake with a gorgeous beach and trails and a playground...it was SO fun! This little boy was in HEAVEN! He played and played....

....and played!

We ate and enjoyed the view!

One of the two times I've been able to get Braden to keep a hat on his bald head...isn't he a doll???

Michelle's awesome friend came over and shot some fun pics of the kids, I love them! She did a great job and it's funny to think back on how hard it is to get all three just looking the same place! Kylee was so sweet and just sat there while Braden kept pulling at her...boys!

Thanks for an amazing time you guys! We love and miss you, but think you are the best family!

My favorite Britain"isms"!

3/21/11:Love my boy...yesterday at dinner Britain came up with this: "Hey Mom, Heavenly Father knows everything, like how to fly a kite, how to break a pinata, how to take down people when they're naughty, he can just do everything!" Ha, what a boy!
9/28/10: We've been working on rhyming with Brit and he's been doing really good, but he'll always throw something out like, "Hey Mom, what rhymes with baseball bat? How 'bout craseball bat or gaseball bat?" Or other words like, "what rhymes with syrup? Lurrup? Furrup?" I guess they do rhyme they just aren't words. It's pretty cute!
9/10/10: Mom do you like bugs that suck your blood or bugs that put "toys in" you?" He's been looking at bug cards and we've talked about dangerous bugs that put "poison" in you:)
9/8/10: Mommy said, "Brit, why are you in bed with us? You need to sleep in your own bed or HE"LL be sad!" Brit: " HE doesn't even have a face! He can't be sad...sheesh Mom!"
4/16/10: Britain was looking at a picture of him and Braden and said, "Mommy, look at Braden...he's so cute!" I said, "Yes he is and so are you!" "Mom! I'm not cute, I'm a big boy! And I'm....cool! Yes I'm cool!"
4/10: I was changing Brit's diaper in a public bathroom and he starts saying, very loudly, "Mommy, please don't throw me up on the ceiling again, I don't like it when you throw me up there pecause(because) there are rabbits up there and they don't like when I go up there in their house. I hope you don't throw me up there again...etc" He's such a talker and has an imagination, but I'm sure there were some women wondering why I always throw my child!
3/26/10: Brit and I were watching a coyote in the backyard and he said, "Look mom...it's a doggy!" I corrected him by saying, "Nope, it's a coyote!" Brit: "Oh!" 2 hours later..."Mommy, remember when we saw that doggy named Keylote(Key-low-tee)?"
3/10: Mom says, "Aww Britain, Braden sure loves you!" Britain's reply, "Yes he does and I love....FROGS!" I'm sure he loves Braden too:)
1/14/2010: Britain LOVES other kids even if we don't know them. In the doctors waiting room there were several kids playing with the toys and Britain was with them. He yelled over at me from across the room, "Mom look! I have so many friends!" There were several chuckles from throughout the room. He does have a lot of friends!
1/2010: Everytime I tell Britain what we are going to do that day he replies, "Wow, dat will be fun!"
1/14/2010: Britain has started saying the word "sure" a lot and I just noticed today that he really never says yes, it's always said excitedly, "Shhh-ore!"
1/12/2010: The other day I came downstairs to see that Britain had brought his milk down and spilled some. I started to clean it up and told him that he shouldn't do that again. He said, "Dat was an akizent(accident) and I won't do it again Mommy," and started walking upstairs then said under his breath, "at yeast(least) I hope not!"
1/2010: Brit loves graham crackers...one day he demanded one and I told him that he needs to say it nicer like, "May I have one please Mother?" So he repeated me. Well now he always says "May I have a graham cracker peas Mudder?" everytime he wants one. He never ever calls me "Mudder" except for when he wants a graham cracker...the rest of the time it's "Mama"
