A day in the life of Brielle & Braden.

Brielle and Braden have a good life.

Getting these kids dressed can be quite the challenge but at least they have clothes to cover their cute little bodies.

Brielle looks like Princess Leah...ha ha!

Brielle and Braden get to go to the dentist every six months to get their little teeth checked for cavities. They had their appointments last week and Brielle did incredibly well. Last time she cried bloody murder, so this time around I talked to her about it and prepared her for it. The night before her appointment she informed me, "Mommy, I'm not going to cry at the dentist's tomorrow. They're just going to tickle my teeth." And so, she did as she said and was a good little patient opening her mouth big and wide!

Beautiful clean little teeth! No cavities!

Then, came Mr. Braden. He cried bloody murder! He detested every second of it! (Just like his mommy when she goes to the dentist!--I get major anxiety when I go to the dentist and I also feel like crying bloody murder!!! That puts quite the image in your head doesn't it?)

Anyway, their dentist is such an incredible lady, she just acts like nothing is happenning and she just goes for it! She's amazing! I'm very happy with her!

No cavities here either! He was happy after he got his dinosaur toothbrush!

After their appointments we headed to the Arlington National Cemetery with my brother Kem. What a wonderful blessing that Brielle and Braden get to have all of these amazing places to visit! Even though, they may not remember too much of it when they are older...that's why we take pictures...:)

We have been trying to go to this cemetery since we got here and every time we try to go we get there too late and it's closed. This time, we got to go in and it was amazing!

It was such a perfect day when we went...there was lots of walking but the stroller was a life-saver! Brielle did NOT want to look at the camera in this picture...

My kids are blessed to have their uncle Kem so close at this time of their life. He is a good uncle and I feel so happy that they get to be around him and spend time with him.

Beautiful D.C.

I don't know what I'm laughing about here but I look like I'm enjoying life...

Brielle and Braden get to grow up in this wonderful country where these people sacrificed their lives to fight for a safe life without worrying about their freedom to do as they righteously please. They are truly blessed.

Miss Brielle. She does not look like a baby any more.

This little boy is my favorite...

I'm lucky to have these beautiful children...they are my treasures and motherhood is more than I ever imagined...it is rewarding, challenging, humbling and beautiful.

I have to say that a lot of these pictures were taken by my brother, like this one...is my favorite one...

and this one...just beautiful...

Mr. Braden.

Bri.

And this is a day in the life of Mr. Braden and Bri bri.
