It's been way to long...SO let's catch up!

Well I am not the best blogger lately, but I am going to try to change that now...

So much has happened in the Brunson household since I last was on here.  We are proud homeowners now and are loving it.  It is so nice for us to have room to just grow up!!!  I never thought it would be so hard to buy a house or take so long, especially in today's market!  We started looking for a house last November and put 5 offers on other houses before we finally found the perfect home for us. I was coming to the middle of August and our lease was up yet again.  The kids were getting ready to start school and we were hopefully going to find something soon or we would be paying tonz of money to get out of a lease or paying tonz of money to stay in an apartment. My mom finished one of her classes and started looking for houses to show us and what do you know she found one that we loved!!!  Our real estate agent also found the same house and within just a few days we had a home!! Thank you so much to my mom who finished her class just in time.  We got so lucky with this house...it has all the must haves and all the wants that we had on our list.
Trestin is now two and he is "SO" two!!!  We got a piano for our house and the next day he found the one sharpie marker that was buried in a box and drew all over the piano, TV screen, couch, and the new TV stand that Matt built that day!!  The day before we moved out of the apartment he got a hold of a sharpie and colored pretty pictures on the walls that we managed to keep perfectly clean for almost two years....I think he is so much like his uncle it isn't funny.  I thought the girls were fun when they were this age, but he is actually so much fun.  He is talking so well and learning so fast these days.  His favorite movie right now is "Avatar"!  We watch it so much that I think he knows when everything is going to happen and he loves to take his nerf gun and shoot the screen when the tiger comes out.  It is just fun to watch him grow and be more like his daddy every day.  Oh...and he has cut his own hair with daddy's clippers twice in the past few months.  I never have a dull moment!!!



Abigayle is now in first grade and just loving it.  She is getting so big.  Here is her video of her ballet recital that I promised months ago.  It is just precious.....  She is the one on the end!!


Kailyn is finally loosing her teeth.  I love pulling teeth and she loves that they are coming out!  I am not sure how we are doing it, but Kailyn and Abigayle still believe in the tooth fairy (probably since they haven't lost any yet)!!!  Kailyn lost her first tooth a couple weeks ago.  She asked me "Mommy, if I put this tooth under my pillow....will the tooth fairy come and leave me some money for it?"  I said, "Kailyn, Mommy told the tooth fairy that the first tooth all my kids loose belongs to me because I waited to long to be able to pull your first tooth.  I told the tooth fairy that it will go in your baby book!"  She said "Oh...well that sucks...I have to wait forever for the next one!"  I just laughed and today I pulled one of her front teeth and the first thing she did is put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy!!  Yippee.....I get to make my little girl's day tomorrow morning!  Love it!   She is such an awsome kid.  Tae Kwon Do just comes naturally for her and because she is so small she just shines.  It is great to watch her learn and love what she is doing!!!  She is getting ready to test for her Sr Green belt, which I think is half way to her black belt!!!!  Awsome!  She entered in a breaking competition a few months back and took second place!  We were so proud of her!  Here is her video from her first demo.....


Here are some random pics from the last few months of our crazy life......

Trestin and Papa at the zoo!!





 This is Abi running into class the first day of school...Traffic was a nightmare so we were late!
Kailyn going to her class the first day of school......

DUKE:  Duke is our new puppy.  He is a fox red lab and super cute.  He is currently a little over 6 weeks old and still with his mommy for the next few weeks.  We have been looking for a dog for a while now and nothing has jumped out and said "I need to be a Brunson"!  A couple weeks ago we almost got a golden retriever puppy, but Matt wasn't sure he wanted a dog with long hair.  When we got home he got on the computer and started looking at labs and all the breeders that are out there.  While looking he stumbled on the Fox Red labs.  Now they are reddish in color like a fox, but getting your hands on one for a decent price is just unheard of.  After looking for days he decided that a chocolate lab was the way to go for us.....Then by luck he happened to be at the store by our new house and a wonderful family had a litter of puppies with them.  They just happened to be fox red labs.  They mom is almost white and the dad is a fox red.  They just happened to have a little red male!!  So I caved and now we have a new baby in our home!  His name is Duke because he reminds me of the "Dukes of Hazard" and Matt's favorite college team is Duke!  I will post pics of him as soon as I get some...This should be fun having a puppy and a two year old!!!  Look for funny postings to come!

Well peeps...until next time...
have a great day!
