BEST BIRTHDAY!!

Its my birthday and I will party like its my BIRTHDAY!!  I have had one of the bestest birthdays anyone could ever ask for!  Jason and I went to dinner on Tuesday at Texas De Brazil and absolutely stuffed our faces!  That is the best Meat I have ever had!  Although I would not pay full price for it.  Its not worth the money to leave stuffed and not feeling well...at least for my blood!  We had a buy one get one free deal so it was really nice!  I had been extra good and healthy so I could go all out for my birthday month:) and I did just that!  Again on Saturday Jason took me to Red Robin to redeem my free burger. (that we actually didn't use) My really good friend Ann and Brian and their daughter Cora came with us!  We had an enjoyable meal and then Ann wanted to go to Pay less before we went home to my house to play games...or so I thought?    We left there and when we got home Jason got the mail so I took our guests to go inside...and SURPRISE...I was attacked by silly string and a bunch of surprises!  I screamed bloody murder and went back outside, but of course they followed me out.  I spent the next 5 minutes trying to get silly string out of my hair and what not.  Talk about a warm welcome into my own home.  So I was fooled by my own husband and many friends but it was a fun surprise and I didn't suspect a thing...I just thought my husband cleaned my whole house for my birthday present...little does he know he did such a good job that he is going to have to do it more often!

Then on Sunday my mom made me my Birthday dinner that I asked for!!  Roast and mashed potatoes!  It was delicious she is such an amazing cook!  Then Jason's parents came over for some cake and ice cream.  Mama B made me a chocolate cake that said Happy Birthday Kahootanizing Queen which Papa B made her write.  Apparently he thinks I "Kahootanize"?  We played some games after that and it was an enjoyable night!

So next...I know right...The birthday that keeps on giving.  On Monday my actual Birthday I went to lunch with my Mom, Mama B, Amanda, Kaylee and Kenton.  We went to Olive Garden and got there soup and salad!  YUMMY!  I got to blow out another candle on yet another cake and yes I ate more CAKE!  I had cake coming out of my ears!

I have learned that Kenton is getting hard to take to restaurants because he wants to be eating constantly...and not the yummy kid snacks or his baby food, he wants the good stuff!  Hes no dummy!  I told my family that they could continue giving me gifts throughout the rest of the month and they had till the 31...They just laughed.  Oh well...

Like I said Best Birthday thanks to my Husband and my wonderful family!!

4th of July Weekend!!

This was the greatest weekend of all weekends!! OK I don't know why but I was really excited for the weekend of the 4th.  Not only is it Kenton's first 4th of July but I think mostly its because we convinced my sister to come down from Utah!  It was a hard thing to do but we accomplished it!!  It feels like we don't see them enough!  And of course Happy to celebrate the freedoms that we have!:)

Our days were filled with lots of fun, late nights, and more card game playing than you can imagine.  We took tons of pictures and we Tye dyed shirts for the boys which they wore for the 4th.  We even went mini golfing.  We had a blast trying to beat each other, competing to be the best.  My dad, Skyler, and Jason all tied.  We thought that was pretty funny.  The boys just watched from their strollers and were surprisingly good for it being past their bedtimes.

The Boys with the Lion



Kaylee had to get a picture with the Lion too.



Kaylee was spinning this thing and the boys were mesmerized by it. 

On Monday we went swimming at the Southwicks house.  Skyler's parents are always so nice to invite everyone over.  We played water games and just enjoyed the company.  Breyden and Kenton loved the water.  When Kenton and I got out I set him down on the floor and he left and started crawling for the pool.  Guess he wasn't done yet?  My sister has pictures of that which I still have yet to get.  So they will come soon.

Then later that evening we had a BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa Brummetts house with the whole gang.  The food was absolutely amazing!  We had fun throwing the football around and being kids:)  On their street there is always a party for fireworks.  Merlin Hardy and his family always do a huge firework show.  It was just as good as any other year and it was fun to watch Kenton watch the fireworks.  I had to wake him up to watch them so he was a little tired.  I couldn't let him miss his first firework show!

 After cleaning up all our mess Jason and I went with Amanda and Chris to Chris's house to set off some of his fireworks with his family.  Kenton was up way past his bed time yet again but he seemed to enjoy the fireworks.  Sister Bailey brought out Popsicles for everybody and he loved that!  We had an awesome weekend filled with lots of fun!  Thanks Bri and Sky for bringing your cute family down!  And thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Brummett and Grandma and Grandpa Waite for a good time!  We love you all!

Brummett Family Reunion 2011

This year for our Brummett Reunion we went camping at Carlsbad beach.  We had so much fun with everyone even though Jason is not a BIG camper.  While my big man did amazing for not liking to camp my little man was not himself and was very needy.  Of course he chooses the week we are not at home to have a temperature and to start teething...I guess he really had no say in it but just our luck that it would happen that way.  

I loved being beach side and watching the waves.  I wish we could have the luxury of living on the beach.  There is nothing like it.  To be able to sleep and hear the water was heavenly and to wake up to the sound of the waves was even better!  I even enjoyed running on the beach.  It was very rocky so I was extra careful not to roll any ankles.  Visiting around the campfire couldn't have been more fun. We did some Keg stands....with root beer of course!  Grandma was all for trying it out and after much convincing and knowing his wife was brave enough we got Grandpa to do it.  We have our best laughs when it is late and everybody is tired!

I think my favorite part of the trip was being with everyone at Sea World and watching my little guys eyes light up when he got to see all the animals.  Jason and I love Sea World and sea life...both of our favorite animal is Dolphins.  So we loved watching Kenton even more enjoy what we both love.  It was the first day that he was a little happier.  I don't know what it was but I like to think he liked seeing all the animals.  Kenton slept a lot throughout the days while we were camping which is to be expected and here are the many shots of him catching some zzzzz's.

Julieanne put so much thought and preparation into this family reunion and it was wonderful!  We had amazing food, company, and conversations!  Thanks Julieanne for such an amazing time!  Jason and I are in charge of the family reunion next year so it should be interesting.  Not making any promises on if anyone will think its fun or not but we will try!  Jason says NO CAMPING!

Me and my precious little guy.

My sister in law Julieanne got engaged and will be marrying Josh.  We will now have 2 Josh's and 2 Jason's in the Brummett Clan.

What Has Kenton been up to?

A couple months ago we went to a cousins birthday party out at Willow Beach.  He had a blast being outside and fishing with Grandpa Brummett and Daddy...He even enjoyed splashing his feet around in the water that was freezing cold and got mad at mommy for taking him out.

Kenton and I took a spur of the moment day trip up to Utah with Grandma and Grandpa Waite to see the Southwicks and Breyden!  We had a BBQ at the park where we had so much fun splashing in the little creek.  If he can get the chance to splash around somewhere he is all for it!  We even got to see Trevor and Selena and their cute boys.  They are growing up way too fast!

Kenton loves when Breyden comes to visit.  He wished it happened more often! (hint hint wink wink)  They came down for mothers day and we had so much fun playing with our boys!  They are the twin cousins being only 9 days apart!

Loves spending time with his daddy!  Dad even lets Kenton DRIVE.  He is getting so big! lol  They love rocking out together on the guitar...I don't know how well Jason plays while he is helping though.

Kenton and Aida are still the BEST of FrIenDs.  Aida is so good with him and we couldn't be more happy with both of them.

He is finally sleeping on something other than his back...Maybe his hair will start to fill in?

He is a MESS maker now!  He ENJOYS making messes and as you can see in the second picture LAUGHS about it after!  We are working on the word NO but he seems to think that is funny too! 

He is a CraWLeR now and loves to get to where he wants to go.  Although...

He prefers WALKING along things to get to where he wants.  He has fallen so many times and has had so many bruises that sometimes I think people think I beat my child.   

He loves playing with balloons too!  Dad filled one up just for him to play!  Thanks Dad!

Sorry it has taken me forever to update.  We have just been busy bees!  Jason is getting ready to take some summer classes and he is staying busy with work but loving it.  I am continuing to train for my race that is coming up fast and am trying to keep busy while Jason is working.  We both have taken a liking to playing racquetball thanks to my Dad and love the extra workout!  We have too much fun!
