Natural brigde Wildlife Ranch in Austin

Braylee got to pet the baby goats and feed them - didn't like the mama goats though!
The Ostriches are huge! they peck at the window 'til you feed them - my dad was the only one brave enough to do so.
Braylee got to help drive through the safari.
I couldn't believe Braylee was brave enough to feed these african goat things! She thought it was way fun. She wanted to feed the zebras, but it was too hot for them to come out of the shade.

Texas Trip

We went to the Austin Children's Museum. The kids loved the giant lite bright!
Braylee got to drive a giant train! She loved pulling the horn.
We went swimming everyday. 106 degree weather and skinny Braylee still gets cold!

Hanging out at grandma robinson's.

Kason found some chocolate and had a hayday!
Popsicles are a popular snack on a hot summer day at our house. Bray was loving that Kason could eat one all by himself.
This pic is dark but Braylee was dressing up in her cousin's old dance outfits at grandma phillips'

Happy Birthday Braylee!

We celebrated Braylee's 4th Birthday yesterday. It was a fun day - we went to a parade (Filer fun days, yahoo!), went four-wheeling at grandmas and played with cousins, not to mention cake and ice cream. I can't believe my little girl is 4! We get to celebrate her birthday twice because my dad is coming from Texas on Tuesday and wants to celebrate with her too. What a spoiled little girl!


I let Bray open a few presents yesterday and the gifts from her grandma and cousins. Her gift she was most excited about: Cinderella Barbie!

This was my attempt at a butterfly cake. It turned out kinda cute. I'm gonna make a Barbie cake for Tuesday.

Four-wheelin' with grandma and cousins in grandma's pasture wearing an orange dress and pink tutu - life doesn't get much better!

Watching the Filer Fun Days parade with Brynlee and Baylee.

Kason loves watermelon! As you can tell, the dude loves to eat.

He is climbing up on everything, and his go-go-gadget arms can reach so high! He got that from Brock (obviously).

Braylee loves to be outside, but most of the time just enjoys watching everyone else play. She is unbelievable shy!

Bray also LOVES to bake, much to my bum and hip's dismay!

New Pics

Braylee and Kason are the best of friends - most of the time!

Braylee loves to create things and draw, color, you name it. She does pretty good for a 4yr old!

Kason has discovered licorice! It was everywhere by the time he was done.

So I conned (Sp?) my father-in-law into letting me use his computer to post some new pictures of the kids. Thanks Dale! Oh, and thanks for the cake suggestions Melinda! It's great to hear from you.

Update

So, here is another update! The kids and I are still in Filer, Brock is in Virginia. The house that we were living in sold, so we had to move, but we are still in Filer. Brock is working like crazy so hasn't been home since April and we miss him terribly! We are anxious to see him at the end of July. I have been doing the same old stuff, working and taking care of kids. I can't believe Braylee is turning 4 in just two weeks! Kason will be a year old next month. Time is flying way too fast. So, Braylee wants a "pretty" cake for her birthday, so if anyone has any ideas let me know. I'm hoping to be able to write more often while I am living at my in-laws, which hopefully won't be too long although I love them, while we are waiting for the well to be fixed at our new place. I'll work on getting some pictures posted. Love you all and hope you are doing well.
