A trip to the zoo...

We went to the zoo today - the kids love this jumpy bridge - it's always the highlight!
Brayden and Brianna got to feed the giraffes (Gary thought a dollar per kid was too much so he split the food in half. The zoo lady wasn't really fond of that!)
SPONGEBOB!!!
This friday I came home from work and Gary and Brianna had completed a special suprise project for me - a family tree!

Mini Movers

Brianna started a class at the YMCA last week called Mini-Movers! It's pretty cute - they have a bar, a balance beam, different types of mats, balls, musical instruments, circle time, parachutes, etc. She had a good time. Brayden is really enjoying his 2nd season of soccer - totally different than last season. He's had 2 games so far and scored 3 goals! He's really getting in there and playing! Gary gave him a mohawk last saturday and pumped him up with The Red Hot Chili Peppers!

This video cracks me up! He's getting ready to kick off - and let's just say he was a little excited! So excited he doesn't hear them blow the whistle. Enjoy the high quality video taping. Unfortunately, I don't get to see him play because the games are while I'm working.

Brianna's photo shoot...

While Brayden is at school, Brianna and I have time to ourselves. This morning we went to storytime then came home and colored a little bit. She was so smiley I thought I should capture the moment! I love this picture! Cheese!


Here is a video of her singing her ABC's.

Opening game at Lucas Oil Stadium!

Even though the Colts didn't have a great game, Gary and I had a great time at the opening game last night! Here are some pictures:

Grandparents Day at Brayden's school

Brayden is in the middle front with the light blue shirt on! They sang so pretty!

Update

For those of you who are interested, here is the update on Brianna and her new bed... Ever since the first nap that didn't go so well, she has been sleeping great! Maybe better than in the crib! I know it hasn't been that long - but hopefully this will continue!
Gary has requested that I post a couple of pictures from his day. If you know Gary, you know that he is passionate about 1 thing - THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES! He managed to get tickets to the game today - here are a couple of pictures.
Hi Brutus! As Brianna says - "Go Buckeyes"

New bed for Brianna

Well, we weren't exactly planning on getting rid of Brianna's crib this early... Gary wanted to build her a bed while it was still nice outside. Once the bed was made - we got a little excited to see it all put together in her room. We didn't have a mattress for it yet, so I found a great deal that only lasted until Sept. 6th. (Of course we had to go buy it yesterday!) Now that we had all the stuff we didn't want to store it somewhere then haul it back upstairs - so today was the day Brianna got her new bed and said goodbye to her crib. You may be wondering how she likes her new bed. Let's just say day 1 didn't go so well. She cried at naptime (which isn't really unusual lately) - and said she didn't like her "princess" bed. We had this really cute netting that hung from the ceiling - as you can see from the pictures she didn't like that at all and I had to take it down.

(Here's an up close picture right after it was painted.) After learning that getting out of her bed during naptime and running into Brayden's room was a really bad idea, she finally cried herself to sleep. I have a feeling we're in for a really rough night (I'm not ready to have another visitor in my room at night!)! Pray for us!
