School started

Analyse and Elliot started school today and thankfully Daddy was able to call them before school to let them know he was thinking about them and hoped that they had a great day. Marcus starts school on Monday.
In case you were wondering:
Marcus is in Fourth Grade
Analyse is in Third Grade
Elliot is in First Grade
Rylee is in Preschool
Oswald has a few years still

We wish all the children the best of luck in school and hope that they make a better time of it than Daddy did.

Update 8/18/17

Well it's our least favorite time of the year again, A,E,&R are back at their moms, school starts soon, and winter is coming. We will try to keep you as updated as possible during the school year. I am even looking to have each of the kids help me write posts for the blog as well.
Keep an eye on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube channels.

End of Summer Run Down

Sadly the Brazier Children's summer is coming to a close much quicker than we were expecting. Due to circumstances we only got half the time with A&E&R than we usually do and that threw off all our plans. So we made the best of what time we have had with the kids and truly enjoyed ourselves.
Here is a run down of our summer for those who are just catching up.

We had multiple #ParkAdventure's while they were here, and LiveStreamed them onto Facebook, then posted most the videos to YouTube as well.

We had a birthday party for Analyse & Elliot which was a blast. They loved having friends to play with and family there. Didn't have much of a turn out compared to what I was expecting, but thankfully they didn't notice and that's all that matters.

Rylee got picked up last weekend to go spend some time with her Dad and Step Mom before school starts. We are hoping she has a great time.

We are finally getting to go camping this weekend, we are going out to property owned by family and we are excited to go. It will be nice to get away for a while before having to take them back to their moms.

We have quite a few fun plans scheduled for this week to make sure we get it all in before they go. Keep an eye on our Facebook page to make sure you can keep up with all the action. We post to YouTube, Instagram, and, when Daddy remembers, Twitter as well.

A&E Michigan Birthday Party

Well we just got home from the birthday party for Analyse and Elliot and it was a blast. Now we didn't have quite the turn out we were expecting but for only a weeks notice it went well.
Had family and friends show up, kids got great gifts and made new freinds, and everyone said they had a great time.
Thank you to all who came, you made their birthdays amazing.

Birthdays and Bedrooms and Park Adventures

So we have a few things to cover today.

First off we have the A&E Michigan BDay Party coming up July 29th from 10am to 2pm. We hope to see you all there. Details are on the BrazierChildren Facebook event page linked above.

Secondly we did a Facebook Live Stream Sunday evening, where Daddy and Mamma Paige surprised the kids with a new loft bed for Analyse and Rylee and rearranging the room for everyone. (Youtube)

Thirdly, our next Park Adventure will be Wednesday around 6:30pm since Daddy works late. Hopefully it will be another interesting Facebook Live Stream, but we will see how the day goes.

Hope you all have a GREAT day!

Aberdeen Park Adventure 7/18/17

So we went on another Facebook Livestream Park Adventure last night to Aberdeen Park (which has also been uploaded to YouTube). Well, we wanted to go to Aberdeen Park but it was full due to little league games. So then we we went to the church next door but they have private property signs on their equipment. Instead we went over to Aberdeen elementary school and played on the schools playground. The kids had a ton of fun, parents had a good time out, and we even had a surprise guest. Our friend Bekah lives near by so she came to walk with us for a bit, although it seemed more just an excuse to hold Oswald, but hey, can you blame her?
After an hour of live streaming we said good bye and walked home for sandwiches and bedtime. We had alot of fun and can't wait for our next Park Adventure to happen. Again, anyone who cares to join us for one can do so. Either show up at the park we say we are going to, or contact us via Facebook or Gmail.

Huff Park Adventure 7/16/17

So today we went on an evening adventure to Huff Park right by our home. Daddy, Mamma Paige, and all 5 Brazier Children went along for the adventure and we had a BLAST.  We started out the walk normally but then Daddy decided we should do a live video from our Facebook page (which was later uploaded to YouTube). The live video streamed for 40 some minutes and was a ton of fun. We decided to walk the paths through the wet land. We walked carefully over boards to get over sunken parts of the paths. We did what daddy referred to as the "31st Annual I Can't Remember The Name Of This" race. Daddy had the kids scream "Live From New York It's Saturday Night!"so they can practice when for when they become famous. Mamma Paige found a black raspberry bush and picked some for all the kids. We did some adventuring off the main path and saw some cool things. Oh, and there was the occasional "Baby Watch" so everyone could see Oswald.
We all had a ton of fun and plan to do it again soon. Thinking we may do regular live streams from different parks around Grand Rapids as the summer goes on. The kids love it, parents enjoy it, and it gets us exercise and out of the house. Well that's it for now, Daddy and Mamma Paige are going to go geek out and watch the season premier of Game Of Thrones!!!!!!!!!!

Day One 2017

All 5 Brazier Children are finally here for summer vacation. It's a bit shortened this year but they are here none the less. Thanks to me having to work late we didn't get back into GR until 2am and Mamma Paige and I didn't get to sleep till 3:30am thanks to Mr Oswald.
Was hoping we could get some sleep before starting the day, but no, oldest two were awake by 9am, then Elliot at 10, and Rylee by 11am. They say there is no rest for the wicked, but honestly, the wicked rest fine, it's parents that get no rest.
Breakfast was cinnamon sugar peanut butter pancakes with butter pecan syrup while watching Disney's Descendants. They play time till rest time. Next plan is to go to the park and let them run and play and get all that energy out so that maybe tonight we can all get some actual sleep.

There are your updates so far. Will keep updating as time goes on. Just so happy all of them are here.

Finally starting our summer

It's been two months since the last post in here and we are sorry. Trying to keep up with everything in life lately has just been a lot to handle. It's a big problem with having parent's who have high anxiety and a bunch of kids, you get so caught up in things you can't always keep up with things. We are still hoping to make this blog something worthwhile, along with the Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram pages.

Tomorrow we go to pick up Analyse, Elliot, and Rylee for the remainder of the summer. This summer we did not get them the entire time like we normally do, so we are going to make the best of the weeks we have and jam pack them full of adventure. We are going to go on camping trips, long walks in all the local parks, going to go swimming, have sleep overs at grandparents houses, some play dates with friends and family, the list goes on and on.

If you would like to spend time with the Brazier Children before school starts, shoot us an email at BrazierChildren@gmail.com and we will set something up.

Hope you all are enjoying your summer and we look forward to seeing you, or at least you seeing us on here.

Busy Busy Busy

Life has been non stop busy for the Brazier Children and family. Mr Oswald is now 2 months old, and doing well. Has a heart murmur but the doctor says it shouldn't be an issue. His siblings are all doing well in school and love spending time with their baby brother.
We just keep moving forward and trying to make the best life for ourselves that we can.

Quick update

Just a quick update:
Daddy is super excited, he talked to Mommy today and He and Mamma Paige and Marcus should be able to video chat with A&E&R today. Can’t wait to see their smiling faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't come.... sorry....

Today isn’t the best of days for Daddy. He had to tell Mommy that he wasn’t going to be able to come and visit this weekend because of work and money. Daddy is tired of not being able to see all his kids all the time. He is hoping to spend tax money on a new car so that he can come see you way more often without needing so much money for gas. It eats him up inside how long he has to go between seeing all his kids often. Daddy is going to buy a lotto ticket this weekend, fingers crossed he can win and then see all the kids together all the time.

Small Note

This is just a random note to remind my children that Daddy loves you very much. One day you will look at these and be reading through and notice there are often large gaps where Daddy didn’t post. That is not because Daddy didn’t want to post or didn’t have anything to say. That is because Daddy’s anxiety often gets the better of him and he thinks he doesn’t have the right words to say. Please know that even during these times, Daddy still loves you. No amount of anxiety will ever take that away from you. No amount of tiredness or frustration on Daddy’s part will ever lessen his love for you.

Going to miss them

Daddy and Mamma Paige aren't ready for A&E&R to go back to Mommies……………. Not at all. We are going to miss you guys way to much. This is always one of the worst days for him. End of Christmas break and end of Summer break are the two worst days of the year. We get so used to having all the kids here, that when they go back to Mommies that house feels way too empty. Even Marcus had a hard time falling asleep last night knowing that the kids would be going back this week. Tomorrow is the day, and we don’t want it to come. Doesn’t matter how long it’s been, this never seems to get easier.
Please know that even when we are apart, Daddy and Mamma Paige love you dearly. Even when we can’t call every day, we love you dearly. There is nothing in this world that Daddy and Mamma Paige loves more than their family. NOTHING.
