Rainy Days and Marshmallows

Rain is so infrequent here that we had to go out to play in it, even though it was early and pretty cold. So glad we did because Brayden loved every sevond, especially the puddle splashing as you can see in the pics below.

And now onto marshmallows..... It's been a bit of a challenge to get Brayden to eat new foods. So in an act of desperation I told Brayden last night that he could have a marshmallow for every green bean that he ate. Apparently he though that was a great idea. He ate over half a can a green beans, and half a bag of marshmallows. But looking on the bright side, I think that's the first green vegetable he has eaten in a very very long time. I guess I'll take what I can get.

And just cause she's so cute here's some pic of Tawny...

Here I go....

It seems like everyone I know has a blog and I was feeling a little left out. Plus I thought it would be a great way to keep in touch with family and friends that seem to be scattered everywhere. So hopefully you enjoy reading about how our little family is doing.

For those of you who haven't heard from me in a while, I was married fours years ago to Greg who I met in college. I graduated in 2004 and Greg graduated in 2006. We moved to CA for his job right after he graduated and have been here ever since. We have the two cutest kids ever, as you will see in today and other posts. I work from home part-time, but am a full-time mom, which I love.

This is Brayden. He is our happy little two year old. He loves his cars and balls, but most of all I think he loves his little sister. He would play with her all day if she could handle it. His favorite parts of the week are park days and church. He loves to help me around the house, especially when it involves making a mess (this is usually his idea of "helping" not mine).

Tawny is our other little angel and is such a joy to everyone she is around. She is developing quite a personality of her own. She has such a sunny disposition and smiles all the time. She is sitting up, rolling over and just growing up so fast. She looks just like me, so you know she's a cutie!

Life is so busy, but I am hoping I'll keep this up. Here's to good intentions!
