Swim Class

So for a Christmas present, Braily got swim lessons from her Uncle Nate and Aunt Kristy. Let me tell you this girl loves to be in the water! Shes fearless, jumping off the side of the pool, going under water, no big deal. This past week they made them wear life jackets and I thought she looked really cute so I want to post some pictures on here. This weekend is her final class and I believe they are teaching the butterfly stroke. Ha!

Keep Shooting...

"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot . . . and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why . . . I succeed.”

-Michael Jordan

I read this today and thought it was a very inspiring quote. So keep shooting!

Down below part deux

So here it is, the finish product! except for the ceiling which we have yet to do. I didn't really get anytime to put it up yet. As soon as we got this far Kate wanted to put everything in it, so as you can see the girls little play area is done and immediately got filled with their junk. Sorry, I haven't been keeping up to date with you guys, I'm trying!

Oh Christmas Tree I forgot

I forgot to post these pictures. Sorry we have been crazy busy and I have been letting my blog posting slip.

All before Christmas, we randomly bought our Christmas tree one day and didn't have any twine or rope to attach to the top of our SUV. So I said lets have Christmas in the CAR! Kate and I jammed this thing in the car right between all the seats so we could get it home. The tree was sticking out the back hatch, and people were giving us strange looks as we drove away. We thought it was so hilarious I took some pictures of what it looked like inside the car. Hope you get a laugh out of these!

Here is a picture of Braily not amused by 9 foot tree she has to ride home next to.

My view of Kate

Kates view of me!

Lets hit the slopes!

Doesn't she look excited!!

I can hear her saying this while she looks me "Dad, why did you dress me up like a blueberry to go outside in the snow?"

Braily, three shades of purple, a one piece snow suit, and a blue hat! Not too many can pull that off! Ha!

His and Her Walk in Closets

What a freaking great idea!

Random shot of Friends

I found this shot of a get together with all of our friends one night, I meant to post about it but its a month or so old so I'll just post the picture. I took it with my phone but thought it was a good picture.

Michelle, how about you organize this whole outfit again?

What??????

So, Katie has not been feeling well these past couple days, and she was telling me yesterday that she had some of the same feelings as when she is pregnant. OH NO I SAY! This can't be, three in a row? IMPOSSIBLE! She snuck off to the bathroom and took a freaking pregnancy test just to be sure.

Not Pregnant!

I can live another day folks.

What a week!

We had a crazy good time this past week with family for Christmas and New Years but it was exhausting! I think this picture sums it all up. My sister inlaw Kristy captured this with her iphone in the car.

Ellie, Lexi, & Braily

Merry Christmas to All!!!

One Early Christmas Present!

So my two brother in laws Ben and Nate, went in together to get me BROWNS tickets for Christmas! Its great to get early Christmas presents! It was really, really cold but the seats couldn't have been better unless they got me on the actual field. We sat in the Dog Pound where there was a lot of drinkin and yelling! Ha! They said the temp was at 9 degrees without the wind chill, and let me tell you that wind was strong, so it had to be in the negatives out there. You can see in the photos it was too cold for a lot of fans towards the end of the game, but we made it till the end. I had Kate all dressed up in my hunting gear, and I was wearing my snowboarding gear to stay warm. I took some photos with my phone so they aren't the best of quality but you can see how close we were. Thanks for the tickets guys! It was a BLAST!!!

Bundled up and ready to go Hunting, wait! I mean to the Browns game.

One jump away from playing Quarterback myself!It's cold baby!

Photo Shoot

Audrey, girl you did it again! We had another photo shoot with my sister-in-law Audrey over Thanksgiving and she blew it out of the park!! This girl is A-mazing! She was trying to capture a new family photo for our Christmas card, and some good shots of Jayla. Well she rocked it all and then some! She even had this crazy idea of taking a few shots with just Jayla and her DAD aka ME!, with Jayla being NAKED and me with my shirt off! WHAT! If you remember a few posts back i mentioned we fried everything for Thanksgiving, yeah this was the day after. So I was in my top physical form! HA! I was a little sceptical at first about these shots, then I had some of these amazing tequila Christmas cookies then I was all for it! Ha!

So, if you have any sense at all you know that baby stuff can come out of baby at any given moment! I was praying that wouldn't happen and lucky for me (and everyone else) it didn't. Audrey got some really great shots and I posted a few below.

Check out her website at http://www.audreyhabeck.com/ and you can see Katie, and Braily on there also. So call or email her up and book her NOW!

You'll have to wait till Christmas to see our Family Photo. I'll post it soon!

P.S. If you want a poster size picture to hang in you house, let me know I can hook you up!!
