Lindsay spent a very long time this afternoon making Easy Bake Oven Smores for mom and dad. Brooke is over at Aunt Agatha and Uncle Paul's house for the weekend, so she missed out on the fun. This is a photo after she ate her messy smore! Thanks again to Julie and Keith Miller for donating the Easy Bake to us for FREE! This photo is for you both to enjoy!

After Easy Bake mess time Lindsay needed a bath and then we picked up a friend of hers from school and went to the dollar theater to see Happy Feet 2. Not the best of movie's we have seen lately. Even the girls gave it two thumbs down!! LOL!

We want to wish Carol Larsen a very Happy Birthday today!

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, we hope all of you have a very Happy Valentine's Day! Mike and I are taking the girls out for pizza with an awesome coupon to celebrate V-day with our two BEAUTIES!!!

Much Love to you all!!

The Bresnan Four!!

Donna's Birthday Celebration 1/21/2012

Lindsay plays Easy Bake Cup Cake on Donna's I Phone.

Lindsay is wearing her Justin Bieber shirt that she got from Cousin Melissa for Christmas.

Lindsay's teeth look blue because she and Brooke got to drink from wax bottles that had blue sour drink inside of them (the kind many of us got to have back in the day when we were kid's) :)

Brooke smiling while running around the house in her pretty Snow White Apron that she got from Aunt Patti and Uncle Steve for Christmas, because when the girls go up to Ellijay they usually get to help cook, bake or whatever it is that Uncle Steve is up to.

Daddy took a photo of Donna's new IPAD 2 as Brooke and I were playing Easy Bake Cupcakes with it. We also played several games of Angry Birds.

Brooke shows Daddy the PERFECT mashed Potatos she was helping Uncle Steve and Lindsay make for dinner!

Lindsay in her "Little Helper" Apron that she also got for Christmas.

Brooke does more running around, she has sort of lost interest in being a "little helper".

Uncle Steve says his Mashed Potatos only come out "PERFECT" when Lindsay helps him make them, and Lindsay LOVES this!

Lindsay gives Brooke a chance to be in charge.

Brooke looking a little bored.

Uncle Steve must be telling a WHOPPER of a Story. As usual, Lindsay bites hook, line and Sinker.

Lindsay working all on her own and putting a little muscle into it.

SMILE guys! We had an AWESOME dinner and great dessert and had a really good time with Cousin Donna and celebrating her birthday!

Love you all,

Chris, Mike, Lindsay and Brooke!

XOXO!

100 DAYS SMARTER!!!

Today 1/20/2012 was the 100th day of the 2011-2012 School Year.

The kids got the opportunity to dress up as if they were 100 years old.

Lindsay borrowed a purse from Grandmama and a shawl. We wanted to put her hair up with baby powder in it and she changed her mind and would not let Daddy do it.

These are photos of Lindsay before she went to school.

Lindsay poses all of her girly girl poses. I went to school and had lunch with her and not many children dressed up though.

I am glad Lindsay at least attempted to have some school spirit and did not mind going along with the fun.

Here she is After School posing again for Dad.

Now she models the hat and necklace she got to make at school!

The hat is HUGE!!!

She is definitely 100 days SMARTER! We are so proud of how much she is learning in Kindergarten! She gets smiley faces EVERY DAY on her conduct! She is reading to Brooke quite a bit!

Miscellanoeous 1/12/2012

Well tomorrow is Friday the 13th and we are hoping we don't have any bad luck tomorrow.
I finally got the birthday tickers changed with Mike's help. If you look on the face page you can see the count down until Lindsay turns 6 and Brooke turns 4! Also, Mike and I get to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary this June 15th!! I can't wait, not sure if we are going to do anything too special or go anywhere. I am hoping on the Sunday before our anniversary that we can take the girls and Mike's parents to the Church that Father Frank who married us is now presiding over. I would love it if we could see him and have him say a Blessing over us for our anniversary. I believe that his Blessing could help us in our Faith and Love for each other. Father Frank told us on the day we were joined that he really believed that we would make it for many years. So far we have made it through plenty of sickness and hopefully we are fully on the health side of things now.
We definitely pray that we are over the big "sickness issues". I feel that Mike is a Saint for sticking with me all these years, it was only in our 7th year of marriage that we both had sickness issues that could have been and WERE very serious. Our love has survived many things that other people may not have stuck through. I love and cherish US! We actually are so Blessed we have two beautiful and intelligent daughters with their own unique personalities!!
I feel very Blessed in so many ways, I have overcome many issues with my post aneurysm difficulties and I am finally learning to love my life despite what has happened to me.
