Here's looking at you kid

Yes, we get to look at that sweet little face all day long.  Oh he is a cutie.  We love our little Trevor boy.  The only problem is time is going way to fast.

Don't you just want to kiss those sweet little cheeks.

The little lady turned 3

I can't believe our sweet and sassy little woman is 3!  She is our spunky and spirited little fire cracker.  There are times where she pushes me to my limits, but then gives me a hug, kiss, and a smile and I remember how blessed I am to have her.  She is my little buddy and I am so glad to have her for a daughter.  2 was extremely hard and trying, hopefully not a foreshadowing of teen years.  We're hoping 3 will be a little less dramatic, but still as fun.  She is just a ball of energy.  Collin and Marissa are such fabulous friends, usually.  Oh I love this little woman.

Our blue eyed boy (atleast for now)

Our sweet little Trevor boy is 4 months old.  Where does the time go?  You would think he got ignored by the lack of posting and pictures, but this boy is so loved.  The kids adore him and we have pictures galore, but finding the time with three children is the real problem.  They sure keep me busy.  But I just had to post some of this sweet little blue eyed boy.  He just melts my heart. Love him!

 

And of course had to post a picture of these two rag muffins. 

Our sweet little Trevor

Well we are now a family of 5 now and we LOVE it.  Trevor Adam Brandt was born January 28th, 2013.  He was a perfect 7 lbs and 19.5 inches.  He is such a sweet handsome little boy and we all adore him.  The kids couldn't get enough of him at first and Marissa smothered him with love.  They are very proud to be a big brother and sister.  Life has sure gotten crazier, but we're doing alright.  I don't get as much done and it sure takes longer to get everywhere, but I feel somewhat in control usually.  Life is so good and we are enjoying the ups and the downs and we feel so blessed to have our sweet little Trevor boy.

 

Feeling Fancy

 Our kids were look so fancy and cute I just had to have a little photo shoot.  Our neighbors have a gorgeous Japanese Maple that was the perfect backdrop.  The kids were being stinkers, but we got a few good pictures.  Oh my goodness, they just melt my heart.

Daddy's girl

Sad to say, this is my first pregnancy photo, I'm only 27 weeks, yikes!  How pathetic.  The kids are SO excited!  They ask and talk about the baby daily.  Can't wait for this little bundle of joy.

Little stud muffin!

Halloween

October flew by.  Collin couldn't wait to have Halloween.  Holidays just keep getting more fun with the kids being more aware.  They LOVED trick or treating and trunk or treating and made out like bandits.  It's a good thing they have such loving wonderful parents who make sure that they don't eat ALL that candy alone.  We went to a local pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins.  It was POURING rain.  We were drenched, but the kids were good sports.  I thought we were prepared, but you can never be really prepared for that much rain.  There was a hay maze and slide for small kids, a petting zoo, and a corn maze.  Then we got to ride a tractor out to a huge pumpkin patch.  The kids loved picking pumpkins.  When we finished we stripped them down threw blankets on them, ordered a pizza and made an AWESOME memory.   It was such a fun day.

Collin loved jumping in the puddles with his big snow boots.

Don't let that sassy face fool you.  She was loving it, she was just being a stinker!

Our little Peter Pan.

Our cute Captain Hook

LOVE these two!

Oh what a life :)

What a wonderful and busy summer.  Life is good and what a blessing to be a family.  We thank God every day for these sweet little children.  They keep us busy and crazy, but we love them and there is nothing better than being a family.

She was having "quiet time", but Sundays are always rough and she is so worn out after church.  I love the little bum sticking up!

A little summer picnic.

Isn't she beautiful.  I just love her eyes.  We still haven't figured out just what color they are, but they are unique to our family.

This was a special day, the first day she let me put a braid in her hair.  I was a proud momma!

Yeah, they're crazy!

She is in fact VERY crazy!  She loves to dress herself.  Whenever we can't find Marissa and it's quiet we can guarantee she's in her room either changing into pajamas or redressing herself.   She's such a girl.

First day of Preschool!  He was counting down the days for months.  I can't believe how fast he's growing!

First day of special Mommy and Rissa time.  She wants to be just like Collin.

Best buds

Just a little scripture reading.

Some fruits of our garden, including the Dahlias.  I love to garden!

Taking notes from General Conference.  What a wonderful and special weekend.

Our little Soccer star.  He LOVED playing.  He's already asking when we get to play again, even though it's almost a year away.

So lucky to have daddy as a coach.  Marissa wanted to join the team, she wore her orange shirt every time Collin wore his soccer shirt.  They still change into their "soccer" clothes, and run down the hall playing soccer.  Those cute kids!

A little toe nail painting session.

Look at those cute chubby little piggies.
