I miss them so much!!!!

I'm so glad that they come home today!! It's been a LONG 4 days!!! Brady and Jaylee went to Utah for some business stuff and I've heard having a BLAST seeing Nanny, Poppa, and ALL of the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins!!! Now I'm wishing I had gone with them!!! I'm so jealous!! They get to see all of our Bouwhuis family who we love so much, and they have been to all of my favorite places to eat in Utah!! Next time, I"M NOT STAYING HOME!!!!I miss being able to see him when we talk and feel his loving arms wrapped around me!! I don't know how people do it!! My husband has only been gone a few days, but I'm already going crazy just wanting to be around him!!! I guess I kind of Like him!!!!

And this girl!!! I've never been away from her for more then two nights!! I miss her silly ways, like trying to ride her Cinderella's horse!! I'm sure she's being J-bug and showing all of her wonderful personality!! I'm glad she's been able to hang out with her family in Utah though!!!
I'm just glad they are headed home here in a few hours!!!

Sicky Sick Sick!!!

Jaylee and I have both had this nasty cold and Flu!! We're so lucky!! So Brady gets up early this morning and always shuts the doors so he doesn't wake any of us up. Well he shut J's door and all of a sudden we hear J say "Hi Daddy!!" Well Brady almost stepped on her!! She had decided sometime during the night that she wanted to sleep on the living room floor!! She got a pillow and blanket and made herself a bed!! I know around midnight she was up and talking but I just thought that was the extent of it. Well obviously not!! We just laughed and tried to make her go back to bed but she was wide awake so that wasn't happening!! Now she's moved to the couch and made herself comfy there. Let's hope we both get over this sickness really soon!!!!

Happy Birthday Brady!!

Brady's birthday was on the 26th but Jaylee and I have been sick so I haven't been on here since his birthday!! He got most of his gift back at the end of April when we went to see the Cubs game and all of that!! We did give him another surprise on his birthday but nothing like the game!! Well I decided to make him a Topsy Turvey cake!! I've been wanting to make one and of course he had to ask for German Chocolate Cake. The frosting is a pain to deal with as you can see some of it falling down the side!! I made a few mistakes and I think it would look better with a more concrete frosting that's for sure!! It was fun though!! We had a birthday BBQ at our place with some family!! And we just made it a May and June birthday party!!
WE love you Brady/Daddy!!!

A little Western Birthday Party...

Saturday we had Brian and Adam's Birthday party. They are going to California for a month to spend time with my parents so their parents had their birthday party early. Well of course the biggest rain storm of the year had to think it was invited as well. We still had a blast though!! It was a western themed birthday party!! It was at this ranch that host weddings all the time and Kevin and Michele had it catered!! It was so nice and so fun!! Mom and I had found some hats so we were all decked out as well!!

All the Cowboys and Cowgirls they did have a couple little kids that came later!! They looked so cute in their outfits!! Their not really the country type but it was fun to dress them up!!

The Western town cake-I get some crazy ideas sometimes!! Good thing my mom was here to help me with this one!! And don't look to close at the Saloon-someone (no names mentioned) put their hand on it while trying to put it together!!

She makes a cute cowgirl even though she carried her hat most of the night!!

Birthday Cowboy-Adam Lee turns 6 on June 24th.

Birthday Cowboy-Brian Lee turns 9 on June 5th

These cowboys made out like bandits with all the gifts!!

Jenise's High School Graduation...

Our oldest Niece graduated from High School Friday Night. Of course her graduation had to be similar to mine where it rained right up until it started and returned about 15 min. after it was done. It's so crazy to think that Jenise has now graduated from High School. We were all talking about the year and how 40 years ago it was my parents, 20 years ago it was Brady and 10 years ago it was me and now Jenise. We are so grateful that we were able to be there to see her walk across that stage and get her diploma. We are so proud of you Niecer J and love you so much!!!

Adam's Kindergarten Graduation...

Our nephew, Adam had his Kindergarten Graduation on Thursday. Jaylee and I were able to attend. He was so cute and their theme was "You're a Grand Ol' Flag." Adam was the flag carrier so he marched out first. He was so cute during the ceremony!! We love you Adam and hope you have lots of fun in 1st grade next year!!
