Sleep where you can

It had been a long day and for some reason taking a nap was not on Brenden's list of things to do this day. So finally when it was close to bed time I changed his clothes and put him on his monkey bean bag because that is where little "monkey Brenden" goes before his bedtime milk is ready. As I left him sitting there crying because he was so tired I went to make his "bahbah" aka. cup. When I came back he was asleep with all the lights on in his room, blankie in hand, sucking away on his pacifier. What is more precious than that?

Parent Teacher Conferences

Well with 2nd grade near the end it was time to have our second Parent Teacher Conference on the year. I love going to them! Jackson's teacher, Mrs. Wilson, lets the kids pretty much run the end of the year conference. It always amazes me to listen to Jackson take over the explanation of projects they've done and to demonstrate what he's learned about math, reading and writing. He continues to thrive working with numbers. I have never seen a child who can figure out answers as fast as he can and with such accuracy! He must have gotten some of that from his Great-Grandmas! The big challenge every conference is to see how neat Jackson's desk is and this year he surprised me with great organizational skill! He's come a long way since first grade. Now, does anyone know how to keep his room that clean?

Dr. Brewer DDS?

Brenden is fascinated with tooth paste, tooth brushes, really anything that has to do with the mouth! A few months back the older two boys had dentist appointments and he fixed his eyes on the hygienist cleaning teeth and didn't move his eyes until she was finished! Now how much toothpaste is recommended in a healthy diet? Look close he has toothpaste on his face!

Full of Tricks

Brenden is going to be the text book baby of the family; always getting a laugh out of the crowd! He loves to play around and do funny things and Ken decided after finding a few pacifiers to see how many could fit in Brenden's little mouth. Three fit but he was laughing too hard to keep them all in!(let's not give him too many ideas) I love it when he makes us laugh.

Rite of Passage

The first picture is a one of many firsts in our house lately. The night before Gavin's big event the boys ended up sleeping in the same bed. Has the brother bond turned a corner? I sure hope so. Gavin has now joined the few but proud in the Brewer family to have gone under the big "lights" of the operating room and come back with two less organs. Gavin had his tonsils and adenoids removed! Because Gavin is such an over the top kind of kid he also got to take home the first ever award for "Tubes in His Ears" as well! We are all praying that this surgery will improve his hearing so we can all stop repeating ourselves and talking loud. Gavin took his buddy "Camo" along and of course he needed some O.R. attire on as well! The road to recovery was a little bumpy but I think it was for the best!

Winter Sights

The Winter can become very cold and overwhelming with all the snow, shoveling and constant bundling. The one thing that is the best, is watching what nature can do to a simple tree and how wearing snow pants and gloves allows the kids to have hours of fun.
