so many...so long

first off is brayden. it has been SO long since i have posted and i missed it! this poor site was in major need of an update and instead of asking for help i thought i could do it alone...not good. and with so much going on around us, we havent found the time to sit down and fix it up...so here are some new pics and posts.

brayden turned two this spring-ish. he is a DOLL! i love his mama SO much and since she moved i ahve been missing her like crazy! she came to visit and we took advantage of the time...pics for the sweet boy!

drewBIRD

oh my little one has a mind of her own...she has aquired MANY nicknames in the past years since she was born, one being "drewbie." it's almost the only thing we call her. and many of our friends call her drewbie, as well. well, she has upgraded herself to a new name. and i cant blame her for choosing it, it half way was her nick name anyway. she is so petite and when she eats it"s just like a bird, so we called her birdie every so often. well she really liked it because if we said anyone else ate like a bird she would get after us, telling us it is HER nick mane. the other day i said something to her concluding with "drewbie". she asked if i would call her drew bird instead...i did and SHEESH! her smile was ear to ear, grinning like someone just named her the queen of england! so there, our little drewbie likes now to be called drew bird. kind of sad. but dont think drewbie wont slip out...
