How do you spell Turkey...BRINLEY!

Who would have thought that such a sweet looking little girl could be such a TURKEY?

I am not kidding you. She is into EVERYTHING! Just today she has already raided the fridge and opened all the individual cheese slices. Of course she doesn't eat them, she just likes to squish them. Yesterday it was a cake, squish! The day before it was Tang mix, OH MAN did it have to get on the carpet!! The day before that it was shampoo, squish and then paint the walls (At least my bathroom smelled really good). EVERYDAY it is my pantie liners, peel off the back and stick them to... well everything! My lotion, makeup, jewelry, food, EVERYTHING!

YES...EVEN EGGS! AHH, I had just put two 18 packs in the fridge, I guess she saw me.

Luckily, or Unluckily (however you see it) I have the Brinley squad. It is their job to report to me what she is doing when my back is turned. However, most of the time they just make their own messes and then blame it on her. She is after all an EXCELLENT scapegoat!

But at the end of the day when all is messier then ever, I still have to kiss and cuddle my little TURKEY! Who could resist?

OH, DANG! She just killed my deoderant. I guess you know why updating is so hard.

PORTER

Porter was spotlighted in his preschool class. As you can see his is extremely pleased with himself. He got to wear a cool crown the whole week long.

Porter was excited to have his little sister come visit him.

Porters favorite food is Pizza

He is good at doing back flips (somersaults)

He loves to have sleepovers with his brothers and sister (downstairs in the Family room in forts)

He is very funny and lovable

His favorite word, "Gotcha"

Skiing Fun

Skiing is so much fun! Especially since I got to go with my hunny. It was more then a little cold that day, but when we were cruising down the mtn we hardly noticed.


All these gals were so much fun to ski with. The last couple runs we found a way fun route that had a bunch of jumps on it. I'm not very good at that sort of thing, but I had a blast trying it.

Later after skiing we all had fun playing King and Scum (actually, I have no idea what the game is really called). It was the perfect game for a group.

Yes! Finally, What I Call a Weekend!

Big Sky, Montana

Trisha, Jami, Me, Krissy, Erin, and Derin

Jeff had to get in a bunch of Continued education this past weekend. With all of our work starting a new business, he hasn't had enough time to get it all done. So this past weekend we went to Big Sky, Montana on a weekend get away. We were so excited that a bunch of our friends from The Ohio State University planned on being there also. We all had a great time hanging out and enjoying some time away from our little ones.

John and Derin, Holly(Me) and Jeff, Ray and Krissy, and Erin (Ray was at a class :0P )

Hanging out in the hot tubs in the middle of a snow storm. This was so much fun! And oh man, it felt good! Guess you can't see us very well ;0)

Brian and Jami, Calan and Trisha

On Friday we all hit the ski slopes. Big Sky is a great place for skiing. I just feel bad that we didn't get to go again on Saturday, since Jeff dislocated his shoulder on Friday. We didn't even come close to skiing all of the mountain. So I am figuring we had better go back again next year!

Man it was bright with the snow! I wanted more pictures, but Jeff's eyes hurt too bad so I had to settle for one with his eyes closed ;0)

Guess I can't complain!
