The boys love Angry Birds !

Snow in October ...

Testing...

2011-07-09T11:24:00.001-04:00

I wanted to try posting from my phone to be able to.share my mobile pics.

T-Ball Time

2011-06-13T10:58:00.002-04:00

Brayden played T-Ball for the first time this year. He was #4 on the Mariners. Her loved it, and I even enjoyed playing w/ him in the back yard too.

Last Day of Pre-K....

2011-06-13T10:57:00.000-04:00

Brayden had a wonderful Family Night at Stepping Stones. The kids worked so hard to put on their 70's theme show. BRAVO!

Who's hat is this anyway?

2011-04-05T10:56:00.000-04:00

Mom, can we get one?!

2011-04-05T10:55:00.000-04:00

Brayden and Dylan really enjoyed playing with Madison and Jamie's new guinea pigs. I'm just waiting for him to ask me if he can get one.

Just so you don't think we have only one kid...

2011-03-10T21:39:00.000-05:00

It's finally melting...

2011-03-10T21:32:00.000-05:00

Everyday is a bad hair day..

2011-02-16T09:05:00.002-05:00

Halloween 2010

2011-01-16T12:43:00.000-05:00

The boys were SO excited about Halloween this year. They asked to be Batman and Robin and I actually made their costumes. The Superman costume wasn't homemade but I hadn't quite finished sewing their costumes when we went to the party at Cedarland. We had a ton of decorations outside our house too!

We love Santa!

2011-01-14T00:39:00.000-05:00

Let's just say, Dylan wasn't a big fan.

This might be fun...

2011-01-14T00:37:00.000-05:00

Any game that involves putting an elephant mask on your face and picking up rings has got to be fun right?! We definitely got a few laughs with this game. Maybe we could steal it for some fun drinking game too?

It's been a while...and a new look!

2011-01-14T00:34:00.001-05:00

I know I have some catching up to do, but here are a few from our Christmas photos. The boys loved dressing up in their nice outfits. I think I had to bribe Dylan for him to take off his shirt and tie. I love their smiles.

Priceless..

2010-09-07T00:34:00.001-04:00

We love May....

2010-05-17T23:27:00.002-04:00

Most of these speak for themselves....Let's face it, I'm not a good journal keeper...I take photos..

May is here!

2010-05-17T16:23:00.002-04:00

May is here and that means a lot of things. Number one, my little Dylan turned TWO!
He had a great birthday party, buy boy was it HOTT!!
Dylan with Auntie Jen...

My little Pickle...

2010-03-11T16:07:00.001-05:00

I really love this kid! He's just so sweet...I could eat him up.

Being sweet...

2010-03-11T10:39:00.002-05:00

I had asked Brayden if he'd come smile for some practice pictures and he was really a good sport. (too bad he's wearing his pajamas)

Dylan's First Haircut ...22 Months old

2010-03-04T11:37:00.001-05:00

Everyday

2010-03-04T11:34:00.002-05:00

Brayden and Dylan are always hanging out at the kitchen table. It's always covered w/ their markers, crayons and paints...

Missing Summer....

2010-02-04T10:05:00.001-05:00

Brayden and Dylan can't wait for summer....here's a sweet photograph trying to remember that it will be nice in a few months...

Little Book Worm

Sunny January Day...

2010-01-26T11:48:00.001-05:00

Cheese!

2010-01-14T23:52:00.001-05:00

Since no one will take pictures of me, I had to take one of myself.

My Little Man....

2010-01-10T22:41:00.002-05:00

Brayden picked out a Batman shaving kit at Target the other day and now all he talks about is "shaving". I really love this kid!

Is it spring yet?

2009-12-27T23:57:00.002-05:00

Dylan really wants it to be spring so he can play outside and drive his car around. He was a little disappointed that while Brayden was snowmobiling he had to just "sit" and couldn't "drive" his car...

Oh and BTW, this and the snowmobile pics were taken w/ my new 85mm 1.8f lens!

Merry (early) Xmas to us....

2009-12-27T23:46:00.003-05:00

Corey decided that since we actually have a place to ride a snow mobile that he wanted to buy one for the family. It's a small one, but great for the kids...and by kids, I mean Corey too...
Brayden had this devil look in his eye when riding it too...

Christmas Decorating...

2009-12-22T22:55:00.001-05:00

Making ornaments

2009-12-09T22:19:00.002-05:00

Brayden had so much fun making the salt dough ornaments. He really loved rolling the dough and using the cookie cutters all by himself. Maybe he'll be a chef someday.

Merry Christmas

2009-12-09T18:47:00.000-05:00

We Love November!

2009-12-03T21:38:00.002-05:00

The boys LOVE their new backyard! Brayden even found a little snack that sat there and snarled at us. As you can see, his head was smaller than the acorn cap next to it!

Another from the "BIG FOUR" photoshoot.

2009-12-03T20:52:00.001-05:00

Your Eyes Will Freeze Like That!

2009-12-03T00:02:00.001-05:00

This is what happens when I'm trying to practice catching sun flare with a 4 year old!

Happy Birthday Brayden!

2009-12-02T00:05:00.001-05:00

I can't believe my baby turned 4!

It's the Little Things...

2009-11-13T13:20:00.002-05:00

I love my new camera strap I got from Redstaggerwing Designs.

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-02T10:28:00.001-05:00

Enjoying this Beautiful Weather!

2009-09-16T00:07:00.001-04:00

1st Day of Preschool

2009-09-11T16:00:00.003-04:00

Brayden was all ready for school with his little "snack" bag and backpack! He was so excited to "play with the kids"!

This was taken after school and he was still smiling!!

2 Boys in a Box

2009-09-11T11:01:00.001-04:00

Who knew that the recycling box that I bought from Target for $2.24 would make for so much fun! I really need to stay out of the toy section and visit the home improvement section more!

We're back!

2009-09-03T13:38:00.003-04:00

This summer has been really busy and I'm sorry I haven't posted new pictures! Things are going to be crazy the next month too but I'll try to keep posting some pictures! I miss it!

Giggles and more Giggles...

2009-07-21T20:18:00.001-04:00

Are you smiling yet?

All Aboard..

2009-07-21T20:16:00.001-04:00

Dylan loves steering the ship at the Field of Dreams!

Peace.

2009-07-15T10:14:00.000-04:00

Puppy Love

2009-07-13T10:36:00.002-04:00

These are 6 week old Chihuahua mix puppies. How adorable are they?

4th of July Breakfast

2009-07-07T14:04:00.002-04:00

Brayden loves to help mommy in the kitchen. He especially loves to crack the eggs. For 4th of July breakfast we made Patriotic "American" toast.

The Festivities Continue....

2009-07-04T08:46:00.001-04:00

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans.

Happy 4th of July

2009-07-02T22:02:00.000-04:00

Muffin Tin Monday

2009-06-29T14:00:00.002-04:00

I loved the idea from "Her Cup Overfloweth" for the muffin tin meals. SO far we've done it a few times and the kids loved it!

Splish Splash

2009-06-28T22:00:00.002-04:00

Dylan had more fun at the splash park than Brayden. Brayden stood on the sidelines crying for 20 minutes because it was "yucky" and "scary". He had a blast when we went there last year so I don't know what his problem was. He eventually warmed up a little and let himself have some fun.

Moms and Dads can have fun too...

2009-06-27T20:43:00.002-04:00

Corey and I spent the night at Mohegan Sun to see No Doubt.

Not all girls are yucky.

2009-06-18T22:13:00.003-04:00

Brayden had a great time playing his friend Emily.

You caught me...

2009-06-18T22:06:00.001-04:00

He wouldn't be my son...

2009-06-13T21:42:00.003-04:00

If he didn't love M&M's.

Being sweet....

2009-06-08T10:56:00.001-04:00

I love when Brayden randomly gives his brother love. He really is such a sweet boy who is very in tuned to people's feelings.

This one would have been better if I wasn't so squinty but Brayden looks adorable to I had to post it :)

SO cute I had to post it again...

2009-06-08T10:55:00.002-04:00

I loved this picture of Brayden so much that I had to show you again.

Playing in the Dirt

2009-05-31T22:06:00.003-04:00

Cuz' that's what boys do best.

There's always some time for brotherly love too...

Smolak Farms May '09

2009-05-31T19:53:00.002-04:00

Brayden loves to visit Smolak farms. He was pretty fearless when he was feeding the animals too.

I'm not in the mood mom.

2009-05-28T22:09:00.000-04:00

At least they weren't home

2009-05-27T12:32:00.001-04:00

Big Boys Do Cry!

2009-05-27T12:30:00.002-04:00

I guess Dylan was having one of his moments.

Swing Time

2009-05-21T01:48:00.001-04:00

Dylan loves the swing but he always seems like he's holding on for his life!

Bubbles

2009-05-18T19:54:00.001-04:00

One of Brayden's favorite summer toys....

Doesn't this make you tired?

2009-05-18T17:58:00.005-04:00

Dylan has been konking out in the highchair lately. He hates to nap and finally just crashes.
(I'm also testing out the new blog format).

The Birthday Fun Continues

2009-05-13T23:44:00.002-04:00

Dylan was lucky to have TWO birthday parties! He had absolutely no interest in opening presents but luckily big brother Brayden was always willing to help!

Mimi was trying to convince him that this
is supposed to be fun!

This picture sums up the present opening. Brayden
opening all the presents while Dylan plays with
his toys!

Aww I think he started to get the hang of it here.

Brayden was having a blast with Dylan's turtle.
He loved getting "pushes" from Jen!

These cake pictures were taken later that night,
he was definitely more into the cake when all
the guests left!

More pics to come from Birthday party No.2!

Funny Faces

2009-05-05T14:59:00.001-04:00

Even as a newborn Dylan would make the funniest faces!
Happy Birthday to my little man!

Happy Birthday Dylan! My Baby is ONE!

2009-05-01T12:16:00.002-04:00

I can't believe a year has gone by already. We love you little Dylan!

My Baby is Almost One!

2009-04-23T10:44:00.002-04:00

I can't believe almost a whole year has passed since my little Dylan was born.
He has grown and changed so much. He's a super fast crawler and already has learned to feed the dog from his high chair. May 1st Dylan will be 1!

A Warm Day In April

2009-04-23T09:53:00.004-04:00

After a very long and cold weather we try to get out and enjoy any nice weather we get! We met our friends at Winnekenni Park and the boys had a great time.

Brayden's Little Man

2009-04-14T21:39:00.001-04:00

I was so proud that Brayden made this all by himself!

A few more.....

2009-04-14T21:21:00.001-04:00

The Bib Says it ALL!

2009-04-14T21:15:00.001-04:00

Fly me to the moon

2009-04-14T21:10:00.002-04:00

Thank you Uncle Hootie for holding Dylan while Bray looked for Easter eggs...

Eggs-tra Special!

2009-04-14T20:50:00.003-04:00

Brayden loved coloring Easter eggs this year. He was eggs-tra patient so that they would be nice and bright!
Of course we got the stupid "tattoo" kit and "I" had to put all the tattoos on b/c they were too hard for Brayden to rub on...who designs these things anyway?

Happy Easter to Everyone

2009-04-14T20:41:00.001-04:00

I know I'm a little late but I just hope everyone had a nice Easter! Brayden loved getting presents from the E.B.!

Those baby blues.

2009-04-10T15:56:00.002-04:00

Dylan is quickly approaching his first birthday. He's grown and changed so much. He loves trying to keep up with his big brother!

I guess he wasn't happy...

This is what happens w/ your big brother tries
to get in on the action!

Three Year Old Attitude..

2009-04-10T15:29:00.001-04:00

Brayden wasn't super cooperative for his photo shoot...surprise...surpise! He does love to show how he feels with his many facial expressions.
Oh and remind me to not put temporary tattoos on my kid before I'm going to take his pictures.

Mom, are you done yet?

Scenes from a Craft Room

2009-04-08T20:55:00.001-04:00

Okay it's really more of a closet but what's a few feet anyway?

Everyday Cuteness...

2009-04-08T20:51:00.001-04:00

Here's Dylan sporting his new summer shirt..

That evil 3 yr old again...

Is it time to eat?

Smile

2009-04-08T20:50:00.002-04:00

There are some days that you just can't take life seriously. I wish I had more of these days..

Drummond Park in March

2009-04-01T21:47:00.003-04:00

It was a chilly, cloudy 50 degree day but Brayden still had a great time.

Hanging with Daddy...

Dylan sleeping in the stroller...

I'm glad he woke up for a few pictures, I'm not sure why he was crying though, I think he just wanted to be held...or he was mad that he couldn't go on the slide.

Faux-Hawk

2009-04-01T21:39:00.002-04:00

Dylan has a lot less hair than Brayden did at this age. Daddy had fun styling it after bath time.

Dylan has been getting teeth so his cheeks were a little flushed that night.

Random Dylan Cuteness....

2009-03-28T11:27:00.001-04:00

Spring is Here!

2009-03-28T10:56:00.002-04:00

The boys are definitely happy to get outside. Being inside all winter long makes us all a little nutty!

We still don't know who this guy looks like!

These were taken outside Nevin's Library.

Dylan loves the swing, even though it was a little chilly that day!

Fun in the High Chair

2009-03-28T10:29:00.002-04:00

Don't you just love how babies make huge messes eating in their high chairs?

I'm not quite sure what he was looking at. I think he was doing anything to avoid looking at the camera.

"Don't forget to wash my face and hands!"

Thanks Mom!

Can you hear me now?

2009-03-28T10:17:00.002-04:00

Dylan is always playing with this phone. I think he is in love w/ the actual phone "cord" more than anything.

First Entry 2009

2009-03-25T20:51:00.003-04:00

I just want to welcome everyone to our new blog. I decided it was time to start blogging again to keep track of our fun times!
This is going to be picture heavy b/c I have some catching up to do.

Brayden is a bright, energetic 3 yr old. He's very affectionate, especially w/ his little brother. He loves to dance, roller skate, ride his bike and play computer games.
Dylan is a sweet and happy 10 month old. We will be celebrating his 1st birthday on May 1st! Where does the time go? He has 4 adorable teeth and loves to play w/ his big brother's toys! He always has that twinkle in his eye that I just love!
