How I Know Im Succeeding As A Mother

when your child doesn't want the dog to be lonely and bored in his kennel so they put a book on the floor for him, then u know your succeeding as a mother! we told the kids to pack their bags with some fun stuff to keep them occupied on the long car ride jazzy asked if Tank was coming to. i told her that the puppy had to stay here she disappeared into her room to dig out a self reading book out of the toy box. she came back turned it on and set it in front of tanks cage. Gawd i love my kids, they are so thoughtful!

Lets Take A Step Back

so we all know what fantastic kids i have.....okay i may be a little bias but come on, there really is NO dening it =) well me and jazzy are soooo much alike its scary. shes has a very........eccentric personality to say the least. so i have collected a few photos of my baby girl being fashionable, goofy and down right strange!

now yes she has to get it some where and i will admit Ive always been the lone ranger and i wear that title proud!!! here is jazzy and i with our 50's hair do.....

now jayvin has some character as well......THIS IS NOT Halloween, this is a typical day the Brauer-Woodworth family!
here's my baby striking a pose in her outfit she picked. she is a sock fanatic. she like them colorful and long. but she wears them sooo well! (don't mind the mess it was laundry day)!!

she thinks dressing up should be a family event so whats better then dressing up your little brother. jayvin has learned to fight back

but ridge has no say in the matter!!

so there you have it, i just wanted to show you some of the funny thing that my baby girl does. it always make me wonder whats next. will she carry this through life, Will she be an artist or dancer, or maybe her bossy personality will put her in a CEO position. well where ever my kids hearts lead them i want them to be happy. and i mean NO MATTER what they want to be!

Gummy Bear Vodka......Im In Heaven

so i made these awesome gummy bears....who doesn't love these little buggers right. so what you do is put a pound of gummy bears in a container and cover them with vodka of your choice. cover them in suran wrap and stick them in the fridge for 4 days minimum. they double in size and keep there yummy flavor to. these are a must try!!!

Ridge's First Do

ridge is now 22 months old and i thought it was time for a big boy look. what better way then to cut off the long locks that he has had since birth so i got the clippers out and and went at it. i will admit i hesitated but my good friend encouraged me and made me feel comfy knowing that its just hair, it will grow back and its gonna have to be done at some point. so here's his new do and i must say.....hes even more handsome then he was before but i aged him like a year. hes not a baby any more =(
