My new addiction. and I have far too many, is myheritage.com. Bryson keeps asking me how much longer I am going to be on the computer, and I keep saying five more minutes. I should be working on vinyl or pictures or a million young women things, but no, I'm looking to see what celebrities Bryson and I look like. I know, how ridiculous, but check it out...it really is addicting.

It's always interesting to hear who people think your children look like. I have always thought that Brevin favored the Daniels side, and Kesler looked more like Bryson. But more often than not people agree that both boys look like me even though they look different. Some people who just glance at the blonde hair and blue eyes tend to say they look like Bryson. As I was putting our pictures into the "look-alike" meter I realized that each of us looks different if you ask me. Brevin has always been told that he is "a good mix" and apparantly that is true of both Brevin and Kesler because the meter didn't weight heavily either way.

I'm curious what all of you think...who do my kids look like?

Camo Kesler

Wow, Kesler is definitely reaching that hard age. He thinks that he needs everything that his brother has. He has started changing his clothes incessantly (mostly changing from regular clothes to basketball gear...I can actually hear him upstairs right now and I'm willing to bet he's coming down with "shorts & T-shirt.") His whine now echoes through the house 90% of the day. But man he is cute...thank heavens!

Because we do something associated with basketball every single night, Kesler loves to "go game." The past few times at Bryson's city league games he yells, "Defense black!" and "Let's go black!" But the funniest is when Bryson shoots a free throw he yells over and over "Daaaaad, make your fee fows!" And he continues yelling this until Bryson's done. Some girl said to me the other night..."Wow, your kids really are into this!"

I really need to video them here playing basketball. I was banned from playing because Brevin said I was too rough! I'll admit. I like to plat some pretty fierce defense on their daddy :) We went to watch one of my young women play the other night at Highland and Brevin said, "See mom, that's how your SUPPOSED to play defense!"

Oh, and just for the record. Kesler is sitting on my lap in his pajamas with his eyes barely open, but don't worry he has a pair of shorts and a T-shirt in his hands!

Holy Snow!

We went to Malad last Friday for Breelle's birthday, and we woke up the next morning to SNOW!! So much snow that they actually cancelled church. We had so much fun finally building a snowman. Brevin has been begging every day to PLEASE build a snowman. I have felt like a bad mom every day responding with "maybe tomorrow." So we had heard how much snow was in Malad and packed our gear, but had no idea how much there would be. It went up to our knees in the backyard.

Kesler lasted about 20 minutes. We cleared off the trampoline so he would have somewhere to sit. Yeah that really is him in there :) He only wanted to stay out if I would hold him Grandpa Thayne didn't think that our first snowman was big enough so we built such a big one that I had to get on Bryson's shoulders to put the head on.
It snowed all day so the pictures weren't that great. The camera had a hard time focusing.There is nothing Brevin loves more than being with his cousins. He had so much fun with Breelle and Tiger. The poor cat was so happy to get some attention she didn't leave their sides.

Glue

So my kids have discovered glue! We had preschool here last Friday and used glue, and my children now think that it's the most magical toy of all time. We have glued everything from cheerios to popsicle sticks. They have so much fun that every time they ask I can't resist saying yes.

my boys

My boys always look so stinking cute on Sundays, but I haven't had a chance to take a picture of them because we have had 9:00 church, and we were lucky to make it in by the opening song. Now that we moved to 11:00 I stole a second to snap a quick pic.

We have had a lot of stuff going on in our lives right now, but I am so lucky that I have these three people in my life. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband that puts up with me, and no matter what happens all I have to do is look at my two little boys and my focus shifts. I cannot possibly imagine how I could make it through life without them.

New Blog

Okay, okay I know I haven't posted for a week and that was my New Year's resolution (thanks for reminding me Moni) But the truth is I have been working on a new blog to post my pictures on. Thanks for eveyone who gave me ideas for photography names. I decided to go with "Captured by Adrianne" and posted my first pics today.

Snow Day

My kids were so excited to see some snow! I had shown them some of their cousins snow pictures and Brevin was dying to have a turn.

So after the first time playing in the snow Kesler seemed a little more apprehensive to go outside. He loves the cold about as much as his parents do. But after his brother coerced him he agreed to get ready. All of you moms know this isn't a five minute thing--the 2 layers of clothes, the snowsuit, the boots, the gloves that you can never quite get all the fingers in the right hole...etc...you know what I'm talking about. So twenty minutes later they are completely dressed, I'm sweating. Brevin barrels outside, Kesler walks to the door and says, "coat off." Are you kidding me....no. So he watched for a while from the window...

Then I came up with this brilliant idea to get their new kickballs out let them play soccer in the snow, fun right? Kesler made it about 10 feet and then...

Yeah I know what you're thinking...if your kid is out there crying why are you snapping pictures and not rescuing? Answer: couldn't resist. Brevin offered him some "snow pizza" and after a little big brother charm Kesler stayed out there with him for about twenty minutes. Don't worry, though, he never left that position.

Christmas...and then some...

Breelle, Brevin and Kesler took it upon themselves to make a special package for Santa. Nate helped them the first time, when they included a note that said they didn't have any cookies for Santa. But after I had made some holiday cookies they rewrapped a package including cookies. Bryson was watching them and they were putting several in the box, so he told them they didn't need to have that many. Brevin said "Dad we need a lot so there are some for the reindeer." To which Bryson's reply was..."The reindeer will already be full from eating at everyone else's house....now take a few out." Waiting for Grandpa Thayne's surprise. He told them to close their eyes. They looked so stinking cute I had to snap a quick pic.

On Christmas Eve we first went to the Daniels Family party. Santa had just walked in and I thought the look of wonderment in Brevin and Breelle's eyes was priceless.




I was pleasantly surprised that both Brevin & Kesler sat on Santa's lap. This is the first year for Brevin, and Kesler just does what ever "Brever" (that's Brevin and brother combined) does.







Kesler got a singing rocking horse that everyone was begging to have the batteries removed from.









Even though Brevin spent the entire night puking his guts out, he still tried his best to have a fun day. We weren't able to go to everyone's house like we had planned, but they enjoyed their toys at Grandpa Thanye and Grandma Mary Ann's house.

It seemed to be a cowboy/farming themed Christmas purely by accident. Cowboy hats, horse trailers, stick horse, rocking horse, barns, tractors, cows etc. were strewn about the Daniels house.








New years resolution...update blog more often...hold me to it :)
