This Weekend!



Let's see, what did we do this weeking? Well, for starters, I finally cracked open the book, "Twilight", so I'm sure I'll be MIA for the next few days, much to Bradley's dismay. When he saw me with it last night, he just rolled his eyes in the back of his head. I know, I know, I'm a junkie for a great book.
Braelin decided she would invite the "love of her life" and his family over for a BBQ on Saturday. We are so glad that she keeps us social, we are losers otherwise. Anyway, the Christofferson's came over in the afternoon. We enjoyed an hour or so in the pool with all the kids, (Peter and Bradley were having more fun than our children!)and then we stuffed our faces with yummy hamburgers and hot dogs a la chef Bradley. I don't know what he puts on those burgers and hot dogs, but they were goooood! It was a really fun afternoon.
Sunday we relaxed as always. Devrie got hold of a candy bar and smeared that everywhere, then took her diaper off during her nap and smeared THAT! everywhere, so into the shower she went. A small victory for Devrie who would be in the water 24/7 if we would let her. We watched a bit of the Olympics...I still can't get over Michael Phelps...the guy is NOT human! All in all it was a great weekend. Hoping that the next one comes really fast!

We're Finally Blogging!

So, I've given into peer pressure, and finally decided that it's time to start blogging. I am horrible about writing in a journal, so maybe a web chronicle of our lives will earn me some extra points.
Bradley and I have been married for 10 years. We live in Duncanville, TX and we will have been here for 2 years come December. Our sweet little Devrie was born here, so Texas will always be close to our hearts, whether we stay here or not. During our marriage, I felt most at home in Logan, and maybe (hopefully) someday we will get back there.
Braelin will be 7 at the end of August. I can't believe how big she is getting. She is such an amazing little girl...so loving, and such a great big sister! We worried that there would be too large a gap between the two, but she loves playing with Devrie and they have a blast together. Devrie is our little spitfire. She is way too smart for us! And she has all of the hard-headed qualities that Braelin somehow steered clear of. With Braelin, you could say, "No, No" and she would walk away. With Devrie, you say "No, No" then she says, "No, No" then proceeds to throw her daddy's t-shirt into the toilet. But, we love her bunches nonetheless.
Bradley is working himself into oblivion as the Director of Sports and Aquatics at the YMCA in Irving. I am enjoying my days as an Executive Assistant for student housing. It is stress free, and so much fun. I love who I work with, we have a blast. As for the girls, they are taken care of by our Nanny from Nicaragua, Carmen. She has helped all of us keep our Spanish on the up and up, and of course Devrie's first word was "Hola", not "Hi", but we don't mind one bit. Carmen is a blessing from heaven since both of us are required to work right now. I do have plans to be in the house if and when another child joins our family. Cross your fingers...
