A Great Weekend

The Breuker family had a great weekend! It all began on Friday when Dakota and I went to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum with Aunt Kim and Corbin. The boys had tons of fun. They loved playing in the construction site and with all the emergency vehicle stations. Dakota was a hoot pretending to be a 911 dispatcher. He was typing and talking on the phone at the same time! LOL! It was a great time and can't wait to go back!
On Saturday we watched Corbin ( my other favorite dude! ) Bryan and I took the boys swimming at the Holland Aquatic Center. They were our two little fish! The boys loved the water. They both loved the Splash Zone where they played in the water spouts and sprinklers and had a riot going down the slide. After swimming we all went out for ice cream. It was the perfect end to a great night.
Today Bryan, Dakota, and I went to church. After church we met my mom and dad and went to Crane's U-Pick. It was so much fun. Dakota loved picking ( eating ) the apples. I think he did more eating then picking! LOL! We got lots of apples to make apple crisp and applesauce! I am so glad we went today b/c there was not many apples left to choose from. Dakota also loved checking out all the pumpkins! After we picked apples all of us went to lunch at Spectators. It was great even though Dakota spilled a full glass of coke onto his mother. Not so funny, but it was still a great lunch! Dakota had a great time with his Grandma and Papa too!
What a great weekend we had together as a family! It was a weekend full of memories!

Dakota aka The Bully

What am I going to do with this boy!?! Today I found out from Dakota's teacher that he has been....well should I say not a very nice boy. He has been pushing and wrestling friends! To top it off he took a bite out of one of the babies today. AAAAAH! I really want to nip this behavior in the butt soon! Any suggestions would be very helpful. Tomorrow is a parent meeting lets see if that sheds any light to us. I will keep you posted on this matter!

a relaxing day

Today has been a great day. This morning I spent the morning hanging out with my little man! He is a ball of fun! At noon we picked Corbin (nephew/cousin) up from preschool and he came over to play with Aunt Renee and Dakota. As a special treat Bryan came home for lunch. That was fun and the boys loved it. After lunch we set up a race track and raced all of the cars! What fun boys are. They make me laugh! However, we had some issues of wrestling! One minute it is fun and a great game to be playing and the next minute one boy is screaming and melt downs begin. Boys will be boys! I love them so much! I wish they would never grow up!

Way To Go!

Way to go, Dakota! Dakota went potty today on his little potty. He lifted up his shirt and tried to take off his diaper. I asked him if he had to go potty and went running to the bathroom. He sat on the potty and went pee. His aim was a little off so we had some pee in the potty and some on the floor. Oh, well! We were so proud and happy for him.

What a great Saturday

The Breuker family is having a great day! (even though it has not stopped raining, and it does not look like it is going to stop anytime soon) Bryan worked this morning and does not seemed to bummed that the race has been canceled. He took off to work on the car for next week. Dakota is taking a nap after our busy morning. We got up and checked out Hurricane Ike and his destruction. Does not seem as bad a originally thought. We got ready and we went to get Dakota's haircut! He did so good! He sat in the barber's chair all by himself. He actually sat still. Way to go buddy! He now looks like a little man! After the brand new hair cut we made our way to Sears to get Dakota's 18 month pictures taken. That on the other hand did not go so well! We did get a few good shots and a fun collage. Now we are home and taking a nap! We are going to spend the night with Daddy! What a relaxing, great day!

prayer

Hurricane Ike is on its way in. Thank goodness Michelle and John have evacuated. We are just praying that they stay safe and that their home stays safe and in it's place. I am watching the weather channel and it does not look good. The rain has hit and Ike is moving in. Now all we can do is wait.

Notice

I'm Crabby!

Lazy Day

I love having Wednesdays off. It is a great break in the middle of the week! It is also great knowing that I only have a 1/2 day left of work!!!!! Dakota and I have been very lazy today. We stayed in our pjs til 10:00 and finally got around to putting on sweatpants and shirts. We love being comfy! We have just been hanging out together all day. We brought the van to Bryan at work to get fixed. It was fun seeing him during the day. Dakota is now taking a nap and I get to watch my favorite show, One Tree Hill. I can't get enough of it! I love it! I think I will be asking for the series on DVD for Christmas. I was productive in one way today. I got my pictures order. I can't wait to go scrapbooking next weekend! Now I think I am going to take a nap!

What A Weekend!

What a busy weekend! We have been on the go all weekend long. It is finally 5:00 on Sunday and we are trying to relax!
We did have a great time at Bryan's race last night. He rolled over! YIKES! It was an action packed race that kept us wanting more. Even though he didn't win he had a great run! Maybe next time.
Today we had lunch at my parents with the entire family. My brother is leaving for California on Tuesday. It is sad to see him leave, but it was great having him home for a couple of weeks! He will be back at Christmas time.
Dakota fell about 2 feet or so from a lawn chair today and smacked his head on the cement. I am a nervous wreck now! We called the doctor and we have to wake him up every hour and watch for certain signs. My poor baby! I hate it when he gets hurt. It just breaks my heart.
It is a new week and I think a less hectic one. I hope! Bryan does have another race on Saturday at Hudsonville. I think Dakota and I will go because it will probably be are last one to see this year. Dakota loves the races. I think it is about the only time he will actually just sit and watch. He is Daddy's biggest fan!

The Weekend

It is 9:30 on Thursday and my weekend has officially begun!!! Except I need to clean the house before I can do anything fun:( I will get up early (not too early) tomorrow and I will just get it done. I hate cleaning!!! It sucks and is not fun. Having a 17 month old does not help. I clean and he is right behind me messing it up! I have no choice I am having guest over tomorrow night and they do not want to see our mess.
I am throwing a baby shower for one of my good friends, Kristin Keen. She is such a cute mama to be! While I am throwing a shower Bryan and Dakota will be crashing someones house. So watch out they might just end up on your front porch, knocking on the door!!!
I guess I should head to bed! I see a big day of cleaning ahead of me!

Ready for bed

I am soooo tired. Dakota went to bed and that is where I should be heading!!! Tomorrow is a big day at work. I will be working all day. We have parent picnic to kick off our preschool program. However, I do feel good about sticking to my own personal agenda. I crossed some more things off. That is such a great feeling. I am dreading the house cleaning that is soon approaching on the list. Yuck!!!! I will worry about that once I get some sleep!

My First Blog

I think this blogging thing can get addicting! It is going to be like another Facebook addiction for me. Every spare minute I run for the computer! LOL! But seriously I have to thank my friends Jen and Heidi for this idea. It is a great way for others to see what is happening in our family and it is a great way for me to write down my thoughts and journal!
Have you ever had one of those weeks you are just dreading? I have one this week. I just have sooooo much to do and get accomplished. Between work, family, and friends I hope I can get everything done. I have my check list made and if I can just stick to my agenda it will all get done and everyone will be happy. I think that is a great goal!
I did get my groceries tonight so I can check that off the list. Let me tell you it is getting harder and harder to go shopping with a 17 month old son. I always see little girls in the cart and they sit so nicely. Dakota is hanging off the side, crushing all the food, and stressing me out! However, I wouldn't change a thing about him! I love him so much!!
