There is nothing better...

....than a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie out of the oven! I spent hours in the kitchen between making dinner and cookies, but it didnt seem to bother me much cause I knew I was going to have cookies in the end. It also made Eric happy and forget about his hours of hw he had that night.(even if it was for just a minute :))..... and then we have Brayden... well the pictures can tell you how much he LOVED the cookie. I am not a huge fan of sweets when it comes to Brayden, as many know, so this was his FIRST COOKIE. He did so well eating dinner that Eric and I thought he deserved it. I started cleaning the kitchen while he ate it and the next thing I know it is everywhere. SERIOUSLY, how does chocolate end up ALL over your face??!! I couldnt help but laugh because he was so cute. These are the little moments as a mom that I absolutely love!

Valentines Weekend

This Valentines day was extra special because I didnt only have 1 valentine, BUT 2!!! Eric and I went out to dinner and saw Valentines Day on Saturday night while my mom watched Brayden for us. Sunday morning I made the boys Heart pancakes before church. After nap time we met my parents at the park with Anna since Holli worked and Brad was studying. The kids always have a great time being outside. Brayden loves the slide and swings, but gets distracted very easily and likes to play with "earthy" things like rocks, sticks, bugs... Such a boy :) The day ended with dinner at Oreganos! My favorite restaurant and I think Braydens too! He tore apart the kids pasta with chicken. My true italian. With that said it was a great weekend spent with the people that mean so much to me!

Zoo Trip

I absolutely love going to the zoo. Not only does Brayden enjoy it but I get to walk :) The weather was absolutely wonderful today and it was so fun to catch up with Alyse and let the boys play. Brayden loves the animals but he equally loves the play area and the giant tractors! He had so much fun going down the slide and "driving" the tractors. Today we got to see the dragon. It was the first time I saw it walking around. Brayden and the boys thought it was the funniest thing. I love how Preston and Hudson love Brayden so much, cause he just thinks they are so cool!
