First Big Snow ... had to take pictures!

Well, we had our first big snow this week. My dad is just thrilled! (Ha! love ya dad!) I took a couple pictures of the snowy day. Plus, we had a snow day today. Only one and a half days of work this week. Tough life, I know! :) Enjoy!

Uppercase Living

I recently got a couple pieces from and uppercase living party. They are vinyl stickers that go on your wall. The "Laundry Gather Here" is right across from our washer and dryer. The one in our bedroom says "I have found the one whom my soul loves". I think they look great! What do you think?

And the winner is.........

THE CAMPING PARTY!!! (The final count was Camping Party with 173 votes and the Circus Party with 95 votes) With much preparation and hard work, our election went off without a hitch! The kids came in and registered, got their ballots, voted in a voting booth, dropped their ballots into a secret box, and received a sticker that said, "I Voted! Kids Vote Too!" Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves and I think we are all pretty happy with the winner! Phew, what an experience!


Come on in to register and vote!

Frost on the Pumpkin

Just a few pictures I took of a frosty November morning. I can't believe it is November already!

Happy Halloween!

Well, it is becoming sort of a tradition for the "other" Brining family to come to our house on Halloween. Last year, Ashlie was pregnant with the girls, and this year they were here in full costume. We enjoyed passing out candy to students we both have in school and seeing peoples' reaction to the girls costumes. It was a beautiful evening for Trick-or-Treating! After the Trick-or-Treating was finished and we visited with the Wehner family for a bit, we enjoyed some chili and cornbread. Another successful Halloween!


Audrey: "Umm...I am in a bit of a bind here...could someone help me up!"
