Brig Turned 5!!!!! I cant believe it. he had such a great birthday..i dont know if we could ever top it!  Words cant begin to express how grateful i am that our Briggy boy came into our lives.  He is the smartest, most genuine, kind hearted, hard working, an by the book boy in the world..we love him to pieces!!

i love this picture..he was seriously bursting with excitment that his big day had come:)
his teacher was nice enough to let Gray come sit with the class as they had cupcakes and sang happy birthday to Briggy.
  happiest boys in the world. missing naps and playing at chucky cheese:)

hello blog

we have been without internet for a few months...hence the lack up blogging. i am tethering off seths phone and praying it works long enough to get a few photos up.

we are all doing really really good. seth is busy as ever and is counting down the days till his long awaited vacation! I am doing photos when i can, its a bit tricky only having one car that seths has to take everyday but im doing enough to keep me from getting antsy:), i have just started choreographing for a children's musical theater production here on the island which has kept me busy but is also lots of fun.  Brig is still obsessed with school, which is wonderful! he hates days when he doesn't have homework..im happy to say he must of got his daddy's brain! ha He is riding a bike without training wheels and swimming laps in the pool..the boy is an all star! his favorite things to do lately are hike, hike, hike and play superheros:) Gravy Gray is wild as ever:)  he has more energy than the rest of us put together and everything is silly..im beginning to think he doesn't have a serious side.  He has attempted potty training a couple times. loves wearing the soft big boy undies. this is what he says when he puts the on.." oh these are so so nice, its soft like my blankie!" haha but not even a soft pair of clean undies and m&m's can keep this boy setting still on the pot long enough to do business....oh well..one day.  Lately gray has been obsessed with going bike riding, he asks everyday basically all day to go. He also loves to hike, and insists on wearing his running shoes everywhere we go.

we had a excellent holiday season.  seth worked thanksgiving but we were fortunate enough to get christmas together..YaY!  we are loving our experience here and trying to make the most of everyday we have here.

anywho..here are a few pics from lately...
