Big Boy Bed

Bedtime - Reece is getting so big and is now sleeping in his big boy bed. His first night (and ever since) has been great. He LOVES his bed and sleeps really good.

Summer Buzz

Braden's buzz cut - It's that time of year for a nice cool cut. I love Braden's short hair so I can see his cute little face! Reece helped by running the dust buster around. It was a team effort for hair cuts!

Swimming Lessons

Water boys - Braden and Reece had their first swimming lessons today. It was a lot of fun and the boys just love the water. We are doing this because both have no fear when it comes to the water which makes me nervous. We'll continue these and hopefully have two good little swimmers one day.

E-Greeting from GG

Just to see you smile - GG sent and e-greeting to the boys....they thoroughly enjoyed it and it made them smile!

Kiddie Pool

Fish Pool - remember the days of the kiddie pool? After working hard in the yard one afternoon, we cooled off in our kiddie pool. It was perfect and the boys had so much fun!

Day on the Lake

Fishing Boat - we took the boys out on the boat one morning. It was a lot of fun. Braden enjoyed fishing with his bobber and Reece, well he tried really hard to go overboard!

Play time

Silly Evening - We were having fun one evening being silly.


















Reece loves to tell us all to "sssshhh...be quiet" when we try to sing. I guess he is the only one who can sing in this house!





Braden loves to say silly things like:
1. "aaagghh Chicken Noodles"
2. "aaagghh Coconuts"
3. "aaagghh Chicken Feathers"
4. "What's the big idea?"
and many more things....it changes weekly but he is one silly boy!

Little Helper

Tool Man Braden - I went down to check on Braden and Aaron who were working on a project together only to find Braden all decked out in his Tool Man gear. I just had to grab the camera. He even had his bulldozer....here I thought the project was "simple". Daddy is training him right...always wear your safety glasses.

Happy Mother's Day

Royal Treatment - Aaron and the boys gave me a wonderful Mother's Day. Lots of relaxing and we enjoyed a great meal prepared by Aaron. We invited the rest of Aaron's family over and he treated us to an Italian buffet. It was yummy and he can cook more often in my opinion!!!

Braden snuck off later only to have his Auntie Angela find him eating a "sandwich" ....aka the rest of the garlic bread. It made me laugh so hard....he has a bread and butter weakness like his mom and GG!!

Baby to Be

Announcement - We are excited to share that we're expecting another baby on November 11, 2011.




















Sweet little baby at 13 wks

Fishing for Crappie

Fisherman - We took the boys fishing for crappie off of the docks and shore at Clinton Lake. It was a great day but no fish were caught...maybe next time.

Easter

Easter bunny - The boys found a trail of eggs and then discovered some fun Easter baskets. We then opened goodies from GG and Grampa followed by Easter lunch with the rest of the Wilmes family and more egg hunting. It was a nice weekend and holiday.

Vacation on the Island

Family getaway - This past April, we went to see Uncle Robert, Grampa and GG down in South Carolina. We had a great time and did so much. I think Aaron wonders if it was a vacation (smile). We went to Folley Beach, took a carriage ride of downtown Charleston, saw a Riverdogs baseball game, Braden and the guys went crab'n and ate some of the best seafood including blackfin tuna that Uncle Robert caught.

We can't wait to go back again!!

Swimming Pool - While in Minnesota for Great Grandma Andries birthday, we also enjoyed some family time and played at the hotel swimming pool. We all had a great time together!

Slide, Bounce and Jump

Time to Play - GG came to town so we went and played at Little Monkey Bizness. The boys had a great time and it is a fun place to run around and play.

Gifts of LOVE

V-Day gifts - Papa and Grandma came over and treated us with Valentine's day presents. Each of the boys got a video and this is when we were introduced to Chuggington....which we LOVE. THANKS!

Package filled with LOVE

Valentine's from Grampa and GG - the boys love to get mail and received a package from GG and Grampa. They loved the homemade cookies, cards and t-shirts. THANKS!

Will You Be My Valentine?

Making Valentine's - The boys and I had fun making cards for family and friends. They did a great job coloring, stamping and adding stickers to each of the cards.

Snow Day!

Let's go sledding - Braden and I went sledding with his buddy Chase and mom Karen. We had a great time and the boys wore us out going up and down the hill. We got a lot of snow this winter and have enjoyed every bit of it!
