Don't know where to start?!?

I don't even know where to start when it comes to the boys!!! They are growing non stop, getting bigger than I want and keeping me on my toes!!! 

Brayden is an amazing little kindergartner, doing better than I ever imagined!! I went to his parent teacher conference and the teacher had only good things to say about him and said that he is right where he needs to be, yes this is the boy that one year ago could of cared less if he ever wrote his name again!!! I don't even have to fight him to do homework anymore!!! We just got our invitation to his first Spring Sing and found out his first field trip will be in May!! I am so excited to get to join him in all those things!!!! Brayden is still in swim lessons and Ninja class and soccer started but we missed his first game due to vacation!! The good news is that he moved up in swim lessons and is back in class with his best friend William!! I got to take them both last week and as always it was fun to watch them be silly together!! I miss his preschool class they were such good friends and so close!!! Brayden wants to invite them all to his birthday party so hopefully a reunion soon!!!

Nolan is a typical 16 month old, naughty for mom and dad and an easy going angel for grandma and grandpa or at school!! I wouldn't have it any other way!! He is finally giving kisses on demand and wanting to cuddle and be lovey on his own!!! He is picking up new words all day long and able to communicate more and more every day!!! 

They both love being outside which has made our evenings much easier lately and bed time a breeze!! I was offered a trip to Florida for work and we decided we were all going to go!! Plane ride there went well, the family days were amazing, and so far the morning of day 2 of the conference I am learning a ton!! Brayden picked what he wanted to do on our family days and he chose Legoland and SeaWorld!! Both were great choices with lots of options for the boys to do!!! We learned Brayden grew another inch since February and is now 49 inches tall!! We have one more free afternoon to do whatever the boys want and we are waiting to what Brayden decides!! Nolan has learned and practiced riding in his stroller, we put him in, take him out frequently and he is doing really well with it!!! I am thankful for the family time we got to have on this trip, I so needed to be away and relax a little!!! 

I will post vacation pictures after the trip is over!!!! But here are some pictures of my growing boys!!

Easter, nice weather, trying to get out of the house!!

The boys are tired of being locked in the house all winter and ready to break out of the house and get some fresh air!!! We have been outside every moment we can!!! Nolan is getting very active and wants to be walking and into everything imaginable!! He loves to make a HUGE mess everywhere he goes!! He is an Allstar when it comes to fit throwing and it can happen anywhere without warning!!! Donny and I are thinking twice about this plane ride we are about to take with him!! I can almost promise this is our last vacation till he is at least 3!! Poor Brayden, but plane rides are stressful enough with out a screaming fit throwing toddler!!! He is just like any other toddler officially!!! Brayden just had spring break and mommy stayed home 2.5 days, daddy stayed home 2 half days and he went to grandmas for 3 days!! He enjoyed his alone time I think!!! He played with his cousins, went to McDonald's for lunch, went to a movie with his best friend, and went to BINGO with grandma and swears he won!!!

For Easter we woke up to Easter baskets, and a few toys, went to brunch with grandma and grandpa, and then dinner with Donny's family!! It was cool and rainy so we didn't get to do much of anything outside but overall it was a good day!! Nolan got fussy and ended the night with a fever and a day off with mommy and daddy the next day!! It's days like these I feel very fortunate that our jobs allow us to be home with the kids when needed and still get our work done!!

Chuck e Cheeses

Brayden has been working on sleeping in his own bed and doing amazing, so we offered him a fun day doing something he wanted to do!! He chose Chuck e Cheese!!! I do not have many pictures of him because he can go through an arcade faster than me so he was always one step ahead!!! He enjoyed playing all the games while Nolan rode on all of the rides!! Nolan liked most of the rides, we got tons of good smiles from him!!! Brayden loved everything even the cheap toy at the end!!! We got to enjoy some more time outside last week with beautiful weather, I just wish it would stay!!

Friday starts spring break, Brayden is ready for a week off school and thanks to grandma he doesn't have to go to daycare either!! I have a few days off with him too, which I am looking forward to as well!! We have to work on his birthday party but we have no other plans so we will see what we come up with!!! We will be leaving for vacation in less than a month and I can't wait for the break!!! I'm hoping for some pool and sunshine time!!! Here are some pictures from the last week!!
