Tucker is 6!!!!

All the faces of you.......

My big guy is growing up so fast. I can not believe that 6 years ago I met this little man. I remember the labor and all that jazz and boy was it worth it. Tucker has always been the life of the party. He loves to dance and sing. He has been dancing since he was little...he busts a move quite often LOL. He can break dance pretty good for a kid his age who has never been to any kind of a lesson. He loves hunting, fishing, riding his bike and four wheeler ang just being outside. When he turned 2 we bought him his first wheeler...it was battery powered and I didnt think there was any way he would be able to ride it. He proved me wrong and was spinnin cookies in it the first day. He is really enjoying Kindergarden at Monticello Montessorri Charter School. He is learning a lot and he loved their class pet the Guinea Pig. He is the best big brother and we are so lucky to have him. To my little speed demon....I love u so much!!!

Being Home...

In one week from today I have to go back to work...it is a bittersweet thing for me. I enjoy working and bringing in money to help out around the house, but I have really enjoyed being at home. Being at home all day is not relaxing at all if there is anyone who would think that it is...yes there are times of quiet but then you are running around cleaning or doing homework. I have loved watching Bryken and all that he is everyday. I have loved watching Remi as she is growing. And with Tucker, I LOVE taking him to the bus stop every morning and picking him up. Seeing his little smile as he comes running to our car is priceless. I have learned a lot about my kids that I am afraid I am missing out on working. Bryken can talk like crazy and he has a huge imagination. Tucker is so smart and we do reading activities every night when he gets home and he tells me what he learned and I have time to just sit with him and listen. When I am working, I still ask him how things were and we talk but it is while I am making dinner or doing laundry, I try to give him my undevided attention, and I know that he feels important, but I just feel bad. We have been working on using the potty with Bry. He is still little and I am hoping to have him trained this summer, it would be great! I am looking every single day for jobs in Wyoming close to Brad's work. I am more determined that ever to get us all together. I dont care that we will no longer have all the emenities close, I just want to be a family again...we will actually save a lot of money if we dont have things like the mall and walmart to turn to when we are bored LOL!

My big boy!

Oh how I love this kid! He is cute and the best big brother ever! Last night, he was holding Remi and I heard him telling her how much he loved her and that he would never let anything happen to her. How sweet is that? He came home from school yesterday and taught me all he learned at the dentist, then he brushed his teeth twice with his new brush and toothpaste. Then he decided that he wanted to use my toothpaste..it was so funny. I can not believe how smart he is. He is doing great at his bedtime routine. It was the best thing that we have done!!! Gal, he looks just like his daddy!!!

Sitting Calm....

Dear little Remi is not much for binkies which I have decided is okay since it has been HELL getting Bryken to get off his. We have him to the point where he only has one at nap and bed...that is unless he goes to his secret hiding places and finds all the binkies he has stowed away..or he steals the ones that I have for Remi just in case we are having a tough night and she just seems to take it (which really never happens for me). So I came up the hall from doing laundry and found Bry on the couch watching T.V. He was being all too quiet and I soon found out why....YEP that is a PINK Binkie. Little Stinker!

My Little Girl

I just love these little pink tutu pants! They are so adorable! So I had to take some pictures with them on my little sweetie. Her onesis is her Worlds Cutest Little Sister and of course she has a flower headband LOL! I think that I am getting this little girl and accessorizing thing....it is way too much fun..I find myself wanting to buy her stuff all the time. I admit I am addicted to shopping for my kids so the fact that we have not bought her any new clothes since the week before she was born is a huge accomplishment for me!

She is very alert these days and so dang cute! I love on her all the time!!!

My Baby is a month old!

Remi is a month old today! I can not even believe it! She is so dang sweet. We are so lucky to have her in our family! These little toes and fingers...wow! Her big blue eyes...that little smile...I just love her so much! I am enjoying watching her change! And she has so much in these few short weeks!!!

I think about how a month ago I was in the hospital and terrified to have this sweetheart. Brad is such an amazing man and he did his best to keep me upbeat and confident in the anesthesiologist and that all would go well. I owe him a lot. I remember her little cry and Brad was able to video her first bath and he teared up when he saw her...I remember him sqeezing my hand and asking me if I was okay that whole time...and then there she was!!! Our sweet little girl...Our little Remington we have been waiting for you!!!

Tucker the Martian

That is a crappy picture but Tucker came out to the living room looking like this LOL! He is in my huge snow boots,undies, he has his dinosaur in his hand, stuffed snake around his neck, and ear protectors on! It was the funniest thing ever. He told me that he was a martian, I could have died laughing. What an imagination! He is getting so big, almost 6....wow! He has really embraced this big brother role with Bry and Remi. He is so good, he likes to torture Bryken as well but what big brother doesnt. He has a big heart and when Bryken is hurt Tucker freaks out and sometimes even cries. I love him so much!!! He is my little helper.

Bryken

This little terror is just that! He is so busy, and keeps us on our toes. I have to admit that I adore him just the way he is and will thank him someday for keeping me young. If he isnt climbing on the counter to put things in the microwave and turn it on..then he is climbing on the computer desk and turning on the printer. He knows how to unlock the front door, including the dead bolt and escapes outside.....he constantly is trying to flush things down the toilet, he unloads my pan drawers, the towel and hot pad drawer...oh man I could go on forever....but without these little moments who would I be right?

Little girls are so much fun....

I have been dying to paint these little toe nails for a long time! Even before I had her I couldnt wait to paint her toe nails!! So today at 3.5 weeks old my little Remi has red toes! They are so dang cute and she was really good while I did them. Her little nails are so small..I had planned on adding little white poka dots but there isnt even room for them, that will have to wait for a little white....maybe by the 4th of July! I know that she is going to love being with her daddy and brothers but I hope that she like going shopping and getting her toes done with me! Heck, we can go fishing after we get our nails done!

Brad's new toy...

Brad found this little pit bike on craigslist and just had to have it LOL! I have to say that it was a great little investment. Everyone had a blast on it last weekend and it will be perfect when Tucker gets to the age that he can ride it and we turn his four wheeler over to Bryken LOL! We had Shayla up here and so she took it for a spin....more like a crash LMAO..she crashed it into the only pole around. Tucker and Bryken could not get enough of it! And Brad..well we all know how big of a kid he is..so of course he rode it around all day. Tucker didnt stay outside to take pictures, after Brad took him for a long ride down to the pigs, he was cold and ready to be inside. Bryken couldnt get enouhg of outside and so we let him ride his little battery four wheeler around. It was a blast!!! We are going CRAZY waiting for warm weather so we can take the bikes out and ride!!! It is time for BBQ's, camping, and riding!!

Our New Ride!!!

Well our little car just was not going to work. We really thought that it would and we were excited that we had the truck paid off and only had one car payment..well once our little angel arrived and we buckled all three car seats in...they were like little sardines!! It was not comfortable and even more importantly, it wasnt safe. So Brad and I decided we would take the day and go and find a new vehicle. He looked all week on KSL and craigslist and we knew how much we were willing the spend. So on the 5th of March, we left the boys with a babysitter and took Remi with us on a car searching adventure..and we found a great vehicle that we absolutely love! It is perfect!!!!

Its a 2004 Ford Expedition, it has the third row which we knew we wanted and have now decided that it was a great idea!!! It has a built in DVD system that can hook up IPOD, XBOX, ect. There is just so much room and it is soooo comfy!! We are so excited about it for sure!! I was not getting a mini van, and yeah the gas mileage wont be as good as my little car but I am getting about 22 mpg, so that is pretty good for an SUV, and we all fit and can ride comfortably!! Brad bought me my browning stickers and it fits us perfectly! I love it! Thank you honey for being amazing and the best husband and father ever!!!

More of Remi

This little girl is so dang cute...so I just have to post pictures of course!! So here are some more of my sweet little girl with all those who love her!

Playing Outside

It has been wonderful having my mom up here to help me in this change LOL! Today she took the boys out after Tucker got home from school and they played in the snow. The boys loved it out there, and when they came in they all sat and had some yummy hot chocolate to warm back up! Thanks Mom, I love ya!!

Our Little Baby Girl

Remington Clarice Kelly was born Feb. 22, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. She weighed in at 7 pounds 2 ounces and 19.5 inches long. She has dark hair and she has a bit of it actually. She is so sweet. She looks like her daddy for sure! She makes these little faces that are so Brad.

Her brothers and daddy absolutely ADORE her! She is going to be a lucky little girl...Brad already knows he is going to have to have his shot gun ready with this little sweetheart. She has Brad's dark complexion and she is so cute. I have been told that she is "beautiful" and of course I think she is as well.
