Happy Birthday Uncle Kevin

Yesterday was Uncle Kevin's birthday!

We decided, since we have never tried Skype before,

to try it out. It was fun! The kids really enjoyed

getting to see some of our family.

And best of all, we got to see Uncle Kevin

open his birthday gift! We sang "happy birthday"

and got to see him blow out his candles...with

the help of Graham and Jolie.

Happy Birthday Uncle Kevin!

We love you!

The Texas Bryan Family

Aunt Mollie, Uncle Kevin, Graham and Jolie

See yall in June!

Update

We had a great weekend. "Hairspray" was too cute!

Sunday we went to church and on our way we could see grass,

roads and almost everything else that snow could cover.

BUT...as church was letting out we noticed we could not

see the once dry parking lot. It was snowing HUGE flakes

and had been since we had been there. Oh my, the snow was

back. The weather forecast had predicted that we were

to have a winter storm...man were they right! The snow

turned to rain and then the rain turned to ICE.

This picture does not do this moon justice! On Saturday,

we took at trip to Mishawaka, IN. We wanted to go to Dick's

Sporting Goods and eat at Chick~fil~A! (mainly eat at Chick~fil~A)

We made a day of it...ate at Chick~fil~A twice, got what we needed

for Will at Dick's, checked out Super Target and drove around

Notre Dame. On our way home we got to watch this AMAZING

moon. When we first spotted it, it was low, huge and bright orange!

We watched it all the way home...it was beautiful!

Sunday night was weird...the power was on and off

through the first half of the night and then about

2:00am the power was OUT! I thought it would

be right back on but that was not the case. We just got

power Tuesday afternoon about 2:00pm. So, Will did not

have school Monday or Tuesday...Daddy did not have work either.

Monday was filled with going to Panera for breakfast, playing

games at home, playing ds and i touch (until they were dead),

going out again for lunch and supper.

here we are playing Toy Story 3 Kerplunk

(thanks MawMaw)

It is such a fun game!

onto watercolors and drawing

Rhett pretended to write his name on

"Drew's Woody"

now onto trains

You can see we played lots!

On Monday afternoon, I got a call from a friend that

she and her son were on their way to the hospital.

We wanted to help so I got on some decent clothes and headed

to the hospital. The boys stayed with Jeremy and played more.

(remember we still do not have power...LOTS of people didn't)

When dark came...the boys headed back to Panera for supper!

After being at the hospital for a little bit, I came back home and

we all used flashlights. We stayed at home because our fireplace

kept us WARM. On Tuesday, we went to our friends house to

stay with their daughter and we all got freshened up! It worked

out well. We did end up getting power about 2:00pm so Jeremy

came home and got the house back into shape.....THANKS!

It is now Wednesday and things are getting back to normal.

WOW, what a weird last couple of days! We are all so thankful

for our electricity! My friend and her son are still at the hospital

but will get to come home today. YEA! He is going to be okay, just

will have a lifestyle change...nothing they can't handle. God has

been with them through all of this! We will be praying that God

will help them get adjusted to this "NEW" way of living.

PHEW....what a long post...SORRY...just wanted to update you.

Weekend

Looking forward to the weekend!

Will and Rhett addressing their Valentines.

Will chose Harry Potter and Rhett chose Toy Story 3.

Will and I are going to the play "Hairspray" tonight.

We are both excited...2 of our neighbors are in it.

Jeremy and Rhett will join us for supper and then they

will get to spend some time together.

Hope yall have a great weekend!

Snowman Buliding

This past weekend we all got outside to build

"FRrOsTy!" It was hard work.

just playing in the snow

starting to build our snowman

Avery, check out my gloves...I really like them!

The boys were getting a little tired of building the

snowman so they played with spray bottles filled

with food coloring. That kept them busy for a

little bit.

Almost there...Will hunted for his arms.

He found some in the backyard.

The finishing touches...Did I mention?...Daddy

did most of the work!

"FrOsTy"

Thanks to the Texas Bryans...we had a cute

snowman kit to use.

We all needed our picture with him.

We knew he would melt away soon because

the weather is warming up here in Michigan.

Will takes good pictures!

What a fun, warm day to build a cute snowman!

By the way, he has already melted...the weather has

been pretty nice for the past couple of days. We can see

some grass...but wait...more cold weather is to come.

Valentine's Day Fun

Valentine's Day was fun! I had fun planning, decorating and

crafting for this special day!

me and Will at his school party

Will and his buddies

Bryan Bros

Rhett loved going through Will's candy!

Rhett even got to decorate his bug hat!

Having fun opening our Valentines!

I love Jeremy and Will's expression,

they were really laughing at something.

How cute is this bag and bracelets?!

Jeremy, Will and Rhett know what I like!

We all had a great day! We had celebrated

on Sunday by going to one of our favorites...Outback!

On Monday, Valentine's Day, Jeremy came home

to keep Rhett while I joined Will at school to have his

Valentine's Day party. When we got home we all

opened up our Valentines! Then we had a great

Valentine's supper at home! What a fun night!

Thank you to our family and friends for sending all of

us sweet Valentine cards and gifts!

This Week

This week started off with a BANG!

I was going to get Rhett potty trained.

Well, we tried Monday...and he is not ready

yet. I guess that is okay...we will try again

soon. But he does look so cute in his underware!

(and socks)

Chuck ~E~ Cheese's

Rhett has been looking forward to this night for a while.

He loves this place!

Will loves to collect as many tickets as possible.

Rhett riding the horse made me laugh so hard.

This ride is too fun!

This ride was fun too....I think Rhett is going to

like riding roller coasters...I hope so, I need a partner!

Will decided to try out a ride too...even though

he did not collect any tickets.

(the boy riding with Will was his "book buddy" last year)

Having fun together!

Today, we all went and had lunch with Will.

On Fridays, they get to watch a movie while they

eat. Rhett loved this!

wanting to watch the movie and not eat his grilled cheese

It has been a wonderful week!

Woody

Just wanted to let you know that Rhett

still adores "Woody!" He loves coloring too!

One day, he wanted to put on his "Woody" costume

and watch Toy Story 3. He wanted "Woody" and

"Jessie" to join him. He set them up just right where

they could enjoy the movie too.

Sock Monkey

My sock monkey scarf has really come in handy

these past couple of weeks!

Thank you Ricky and Janet!

Weekend Fun

Friday night, Will had some friends spend the night.

They all had a great time!

Will introduced them to Beyblade.

They all enjoyed Rock Band!

(even Rhett)

On Sunday, I joined some girls for a trip

to Grand Rapids to the Art Museum.

We had tickets to see the Diana exhibit.

We had such a great time! What a wonderful

celebration of her life. We got to see her wedding dress,

childhood pictures/home movies, jewels and dresses.

If you have not gotten to see it, check it out.

It is in its final week.

Also, at the GRAM, the art prize winner piece is on

display. Doesn't this look like a photograph?

Well, it's not....it is a hand drawn picture.

AMAZING!

(I wish I could have taken pics, but it is not allowed.)

Walking in the snow to eat!

Mine and Ashley's feet were soo cold!

You should always wear your UGGS!

Soo much fun! Ashley~ thank you for taking us girls!

Weekend fun is the BEST!
