Fun with the Neigbor Kids

The love to play hide and seek and hide in the back of truck beds

Brandon always gets chossen as the monster. I wonder why? Hee hee

Races

This is Ammon's first year playing soccer. He truly loves it. He is a great team player and is always smiling while he plays.
At first he was not very aggressive and would stand about 10 feet away from the crowd of kids around the ball. But now after three games he is understanding to get in there and steel it away. He seems to like defending the goal because he runs over there a lot if it is not covered.

Brandon Turns 4 Years Old

Happy Birthday Brandon...WE love you SOOOOO MUCH!

Brandon picked out these cupcakes at the store and both he and Ammon thoroughly enjoyed them!

Ummmm so good!

We celebrated as a family at Chucky Cheese...the boys love it there...and as you can see Brandon really loves Chucky!

Thanks for my favorite food Gram...Cheetos!

Yes nerf guns!

Breathing Treatments

During his first year of life Brandon was sick with a lot of things like pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. Ever since we have had to give him breathing treatments everyday to prevent these bigger sicknesses. For the first 6 months or so he hated this so much we had to literally pin him down between our legs, but now he is used to it. What a cute dinosaur!

Wrestling

After playing in the snow outside.....the fun continues with wrestling. (notice all the snow clothes in a pile in the background? That is something I would hate if I lived in this weather all the time!)

More Snow Fun

Playing in the snow was so much fun that the boys begged Jeff to go out a second time. I don't think they had to beg long. Jeff loved it. The boys loved using the sandpails and shovels. They were out there forever. Fun times!

What state does this look like?

Snowpails?

Major Snow in Dallas

Snowball Fighting

This was the second time it snowed this season. This day it was so bad that schools were cancelled and everyone was outside playing. Luckily we have snow gear since we go skiing sometimes. Having the right gear makes the fun last longer!

The smile says it all!

A Lost Art

What ever happened to kids MAKING their own valentines day cards and mailboxes?

I absolutely do not like the cheep valentines cards that have caracters on them that are sold in the stores. There is not even enough room for a child to write his name on it!

Every year I force my kids to make their own cards. The have to do every step, and it sometimes takes us weeks. It is such great practice in writing and art mediums!

This year the boys LOVED painting mailboxes for the cards.

Stuffed Friends

Brandon has embraced Ammon's love of animals. He fixates on a different stuffed animal for a few weeks at a time. The have to go everywhere with us! At the dinner table, in the car, and of course they sleep with him at night. This week it was big cheetah. A few of his other favorites are baby cheetah, baby elephant, and duck. I think he is pretty darling, but the whining meow sound he makes when he pretends to talk for the animals is quite annoying!

More Fun with the Bush Fam

Fireworks Fun

For New Year Eve we celebrated with Gram, Papa, and A.J. in Houston. We had tons of fun with fireworks. Jeff's face lit up with happiness because he is such a pyro. The boys were getting into it too...and a few times I was worried they were going to light each other on fire with the sparklers.

P.D.A.

Public Display of Affection

Before they were married Tara and Andy were always kissing but since it has been a rarity. We are always teasing them and batting them on to kiss. here is the proof. We made them hold the pose extra long!!! HeeHee

Rainy San Antonio Trip

After our fun a Sea World we explored the river walk of San Antonio. I love the beautiful architecture and the rich history of the Alamo, but it's not so much fun exploring in the cold rain.
