Little Daredevil

Bryleigh is our spunky little monster who has absolutely no fear.  She will try anything!  And if it gives an adrenaline rush then she will want to try it 2, 3, 4 more times!  This little girl scares us to pieces!  But in the same respect, she will try anything once and she is a quick learner. I swear, at the rate she is going, she is going to be swimming by next summer. She wanted no help in the 3 foot deep swimming pool at the dells this past week.  Just to show you a bit of her swimming abilities, here is a video clip of her in the baby pool, holding her breath under water...

And yes, she did scrape her little forehead on the bottom of the pool but a little kiss and she was just fine :)  I'm telling you, she is one tough little girl!

Trick or Treat

We had our first Halloween celebration tonight! Our friends invited us to go to Stevens Point this evening to trick or treat.  Since we had only planned on Trick or Treating on Wednesday here in town, it was fun to be able to have an extra night to dress up and see all the fun costumes!

This year, we have our own little Batman and a pretty little witch!

Our friends made the cutest little zombie family that I have ever seen!  I can't wait to meet baby "Gavin" in Mama Zombie's belly in January!

It was a great way to end our long weekend!  Now it is back to school for Christian tomorrow and back to work for me!

Ooohy, Goohy Goodness

While I was at school for the last day of my first class of graduate school (woo, hoo!) and Daddy was at a Badger game, the kids were enjoying quality time with Grandma and Grandpa. The fun never stops with these little munchkins..

What can be more fun than getting all sticky for a good reason...Homemade Caramel Apples! 

 Bryleigh's fun personality really shines through in these pictures!

And this picture explains Christian so well...short attention span :)

And the finished product, which I was able to enjoy when I picked up the kids from their fun filled day!

Our Wilderness Getaway

Our past few days have been spent enjoying our little weekday getaway!  Since Christian had off of school for 2 days, I also took vacation, and we decided to take a last minute trip to the Dells.  We stayed at the Wilderness!  Our time was spent at the many water parks at the resort, with a few breaks to replenish our energy with food :) 

Bryleigh took this picture...deep in thought!

Getting tired

Snack Time!

Our little dare devil!

Getting a bit crabby!

Bryleigh did very well for not having naps, but she was worn out by the end of the day!  She was pretty funny though since her sleepy silliness kicked about 7pm!

Even Dad needed some breaks through out the day :)

 Mmmmm...Ponderosa!

After check out today, we went to another water park at a different end of the resort and spent the morning there!    We ate some lunch and played in the arcade area for a while before leaving.

We went for a long walk on Thursday evening and found some fun activities for the kids that we didn't know about. We found a play place with a  big obstacle course with a Nerf ball air gun play place in the middle, which is every kids dream!  Bryan and I definitely got our work out in!  There were many times that we couldn't catch up and lost Bryleigh in the play place.  Thankfully, we always found her :)

Sometimes the spontaneous get aways are the most fun, and we most definitely enjoyed this one!  The kids had so much fun and we did too!  Its nice to be back home and on our regular schedule though. Bryleigh took a 3 hour nap today, if that is any indication of the amount of fun that she had the past few days!
