I can't believe there is snow on the ground already! It is already melting so that is good! Caeden had a great time outside! He made snow angels, we had a snowball fight and tired to make a snowman until Noah knocked it down. Noah, I am not sure if he liked it. He doesn't like having a hat and mittens on. And he fell face first in the snow, so I knew then it was time to come in!
As pretty as the first snowfall is, I want fall BACK!!!!!!!!!!
This past Wednesday, Mike took the day off and we took the kids to the apple orchard. We were a little late this year, but it was nice to go during the week, so it wasn't that busy. The sun was out, it was a little chilly though. We had a great time picking apples off the trees. Mike even climbed the trees with the kids, which they loved! I think from now on, this is how we will do it, go during the week and maybe when it is a little warmer out!!!
Last Saturday we went over to my sister's house to celebrate her birthday! The kids love playing with each other and Taylor is so good with the boys and Averi loves playing "mother" to Noah. We had a great time and it just makes me smile thinking about the many more memories we are going to have. We weren't really close with our cousins so I am hoping the boys can be with both sides of the family!
These last pic's are of Noah having a complete meltdown at my sister's house. He wanted a cupcake so bad! Granted he was SO over tired! We were all laughing. I don't think he thought it was too funny!
It has been 2 years since my mom has been a survivor of breast cancer!!!! It has been a long and hard journey through it all. I can still remember when she told me that the dr's office had called her and told her they found something. I re-assured her, I am sure it was nothing. To get her in a better mood, I told her I was pregnant and she didn't believe me (The plan was to wait to tell people, but I thought this would cheer her up!)
I remember when my sister and I took her wig shopping and she bought the first one she found. She looked great in it!!!
We also had a fun "shaving the head" party for her. Maggie shaved her head before she started chemo and Aaron did the same thing to support her! It was a very emotional evening!
On her last day of chemo, the boys and I surprised her and Angie and I had brought balloons and noise makers to mark the occasion! The kids thought it was pretty cool!
If anything this has brought us closer as a family. I am so proud of the journey my mom has traveled and her bravery!!!! She is a fighter and I knew she could beat this.
So on this day Mom, Congrats on 2 years. I love you so much and I still say you have the best boobs in town!!!! :)
Thought I would post some pic's on this dreary Friday! These are pic's from our recent park trip. We finally got to get some outside time on Wednesday this week and the boys had a great time playing at the park!
We are keeping busy here. We just took Caeden's 4 year pic's and family as well. Hopefully I will have them up here soon!
Caeden loves going to school and Noah cries when I drop Caeden off, but then is very excited when we pick him up. He loves being able to pick out his snack and wearing his new shoes. He tells me he is a big boy now that he goes to school!
Noah keeps us on our toes! At the end of the month he will be 18 months already. I just can't believe it. His favorite things is saying "uh-uh" when he wants something. We are wishing he would say some more words! He is definitely a daddy's boy and likes do to whatever Caeden does and thinks he is a big boy!
Of course it is Football season so you know what that means at the Bril household. Mike has Caeden really into it. Caeden repeats things like "rip his head off" or "28 b-a-b-y!" (That is Caeden's jersey number) and my favorite, "oh dad, the Chiefs lost again!" Even Noah gets into it by saying "ball" and putting his hands in the air for touchdown!!! I know this is just the beginning to what my life is going to be like with 3 boys!!!
We have a busy month ahead. This weekend we are celebrating "Gigi's" birthday and watching the Viking Packer game. Next weekend is Cole's 2nd birthday and we are celebrating Uncle Kev's b-day. We also have Caeden's surgery this month and I am still hoping we can make it to the apple orchard! Happy Fall everyone!!!
Yesterday we took Caeden to his first Twins game! He was so excited! Especially since his cousin Taylor got to come along! He really got into the game, but did get restless at about the 6th inning! We had a great time watching the Twins play their last games in the Dome!!!
