We love you Brannen! We are so glad that you are the newest Fullmer!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy day of love everyone. We have the traditional "Red and Pink Breakfast" at our house on Valentines day - so I took a few pictures. My kids love it, and they always ask if I'm going to do it again this year. So I guess it is a tradition that is going to stick.

Why I love Rae:
She is so kind to everyone. Even those kids that others aren't very kind to. She doesn't leave anyone out. She has a lot of enthusiasum for everything! Way to be girl! She talks more than I do - you didn't think it was possible, did you?! Rae has a great attitude about life.


Why I love Brady:
He thinks of others before himself. He is fun to be around because he is always nice! He has a great sense of humor. He is so patient and helpful. Brady loves to have fun, and do anything with his family. He is so dang fun to hang out with.

Why I love Reese:
She is so silly and great! She is the sweetest girl the world has ever seen! She loves to be a girly girl - she prefers to wear a dress and look fancy. She really looks up to Rae and Brady and loves to play with them - either Madden football, or horses - Reese is into it. She gives the best hugs!

Rae & Brady

Thought I'd post some cute pictures of the kids. They were on my camera - so here they are.

Who knows just what Brady is doing here. Apparently Rae took this picture. I guess why not kick back on the kitchen floor while eating doritos? I mean - why not?!
Here is beautiful Rae skiing around the house after school. She sure does love being outside! She has been going to the neighbors lately and taking their big black lab on walks around the neighborhood. It wears both the dog and Rae out!

It's A Bird . . . It's A Plane . . .

NO - It's just Gina's VERY LARGE belly!

Okay, okay - you know it is WAAAAAYYYY out of my comfort zone to post prego pictures of myself on this blog. I just am feeling bad because I haven't seen Jennifer for so long - and she was asking me to post some pictures. And I was also thinking how I would love to see pictures of my mom when she was carrying me. Maybe I have seen some - I don't know. So these pics are totally for posterity sake. Try to ignore my chubby, pregnant face when you view these. Do you know any woman who enjoys being photographed when she is two weeks away from her due date? Yuck!
I don't know what is up with this top picture - I must be getting kicked as Reese took the picture, because that belly is surely a strange shape! I'm thinking it IS getting big enough! We'll be okay!


Getting more excited!!! And more uncomfortable!!! : )

Baby room again!

So I know you are all sick and tired of seeing "the baby room project" - but I had to post this for Bekki.
Before I had Rae, Grandpa Barry built me the best changing table in the world! I have loved that thing. It is a nice big cupboard with a soft, easily clean-able, wipe-able top - perfect for dressing and changing all the little ones that have grown up around here. I just recently gave it a face lift. You see-- the previous white and blue motif, with stenciled horses on the front - has gone WAY out of style. So I just updated it a bit. Bekki helped me to find some awesome colored vinyl to re-cover the top with (she has more than one store in which to look - mighty helpful!). Thanks Bek! Anyway, I thought I'd post a pic. or two to show her the outcome. Mighty nice! Now all we need is a little cutie to mess his pants - so we can use the thing!
Getting excited!!!!

Every day stuff

Just thought I'd post a picture of what the kids are usually doing while Kelly is blowing the snow. Yep - Rae's mean mom makes her practice the piano. The problem is - she is doing so well, I can't let her stop. All the kids are playing and doing well. It is definitely difficult to keep up the momentum and keep everyone practicing. It is paying off though. I think they enjoy it - a little bit. It is just such a darn good thing to know!

Brady the homework man!


Our kids are really good about getting their homework done. The moment they get in the door (after mad dashes to various bathrooms throughout the house - what?! do they not have bathrooms at school?! I can't figure that one out!) they all sit down and get their work done. I don't even have to remind or ask them. It is so nice to just get it all finished early! Great job kiddos!

Wintertime Fun!

The weather has been keeping Kelly really busy after school as of late. We have really needed the snow that we are getting this winter. It needs to keep it up! The last few winters have been so mild that Kelly hasn't had to blow around much snow. Not so now! The man has another full-time job. This is my usual view from my front window every evening.



Let's just hope the 'ole John Deere snowblower keeps a goin' for another few winters. It kind of makes loud, weird noises once in a while. Kelly's figuring out how to keep it going. At least he is remembering to put oil in it (Sorry - Grandpa Barry! ; ) ).

B-Ball Time!

Rae and Brady have had a great time playing basketball this winter. Both of their teams are doing really well.
Getting all ready for the big game!

Sorry - dark picture, but that's Brady driving the ball.

Another dark one - maybe I should actually stand up and walk closer to take a picture! Naaah - too much effort!

Rae is playing church ball - and Brady is playing on a "Jr. Jazz" team. His coach is one of his dad's friends that has coached high school for a long time. So Brady thinks that is totally awesome. They are both learning a lot and having a dandy time.
