Valentine's Fun

We checked out another Chuck E Cheese this weekend and man was it cool. It had this HUGE rocking horse (like 10 feet tall). You had to climb up a ladder to get to it. As soon as Kinsley saw it she was like, "I want to get on that!" Colby was scared at first but eventually he came around.

Undoubtedly Colby's favorite

In the huge horse

It was seriously huge

She loved the Clifford ride.

My friend Kristy made these adorable cookies for Kinsley's Valentine school party. Thanks Kristy, they were so cute!

A few weeks ago, Kinsley saw these lounge chairs at Target and begged for one. Well there was only one princess one left and they were on clearance. She thought my mom was buying it for her birthday. We did a switcheroo and I ended up surprising the kids with them for Valentine's Day. Colby's not into his as much, but Kinsley won't hardly get out of hers.

And to my girls Carrie and Sara Whit: Hang in there for just a few more days. The countdown is on!

Happy Birthday Beau!

We love you Unkie Beau!

Men and Boys are from Mars

We have this long running joke in our house about the "dish fairy." Justin always bragged about a dish fairy that would come and take his dishes out of the sink, load them into the dishwasher, and then unload the dishes and put them away. 

Recently, I do have to give Justin credit because he is getting better.

Skip to this morning. I'm getting ready in the bathroom and Colby brings me his empty sippy cup. I tell him to go put it up (I'm not thinking exactly where...it usually ends up on the floor or under the couch). So I finish getting ready and never think a thing about that sippy cup until hours later when I find it....

yep in the play kitchen sink!

Those 2 boys are cut from the same mold I tell you!

Birthday Parties and More

So first I have to say Happy 18 months to my sweet Colby! Man does time fly.

Filthy but still cute

Today was absolutely gorgeous and we spent a lot of time outside getting some much needed fresh air. 

Gardening the yard?

On Sunday, we went to an indoor water slide birthday party. Now I was a little apprehensive on the logistics of the whole thing, but it was great. The kids had so much fun. Kinsley played on all the slides and Colby just splashed in the water on the floor.

Flying down it

On Saturday, we had another birthday party at Bounz. The kids had a great time, but I think Colby was either a little tired or thought the inflatables were comfortable. 

Kinsley bouncing and Colby "resting"

The kids actually let me take pictures before church this week!

The new hiding place in the Brennan house: the pantry.

Horse and dog races

Also on Saturday I went to a baby shower for my friend Carrie. Since sewing is my new obsession, I made matching dresses for her girls.

BT's birthday

Happy Birthday Uncle Brian! We love you!

While I was watching my girl Paula Deen the other day, I saw her make this candy and had to try it. It's a bag of white chocolate chips melted, with 3 cups of peanuts, and 3 cups of slightly broken pretzels. When it hardens and cools, you just break it apart. Soooo easy! Now I don't really care for peanuts or pretzels, but this stuff was good. 

My new favorite snack

Just a sweet pic

You have to work hard to look this good :)

On Saturday our local Chik-fil-A had a princess day. You could bring your princess all dressed up and get their make up done, picture taken, and get a free ice cream something. Kinsley got all dressed up and was so excited (I was too). When we got there it was crazy! No parking, people packed in the restaurant, crazy! I suggested we just go through the drive thru and get a milkshake and go visit Uncle Beau. I thought Kinsley would be upset, but no she was cool. I was a little sad though. 

Dressed and ready to go

Milkshakes make all things better!

Little Man ready for the Super Bowl

I just finished Kinsley's birthday dress. I'm very happy with it!

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

A good friend shared this verse with me a few weeks ago and it couldn't have come at a better time. Since that day, this verse has popped up in different ways almost on a daily basis. So I wasn't too surprised when I opened my daily devotional to find today's verse was Jeremiah 29:11. It is quickly becoming my favorite Bible verse. It's one that can be applied to so many situations in life and quietly reminds me of the One who is truly in charge.

So thank you girl for sharing (and you know who you are)!
