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.

Our Christmas Schedule

It has been one hectic Christmas week, and the Brazier clan is feeling very blessed this year. To give you a small run down of why Daddy is exhausted and the Brazier Children have been blessed.

Saturday 12/24: Daddy worked 8am-4pm, went home and made food, went and picked up Marcus from his dad, went to Grammies side of the family for Christmas, got home late.

Sunday 12/25: Daddy worked 8am-8pm while Mamma Paige went with Marcus and Pappa to pick up Analyse, Elliot, and Rylee from Mommy. They got back around 5pm and spent time with Grammy, then got home a little bit before Daddy did. We all had fun till bed time, and then Daddy stayed up late finishing wrapping presents.

Monday 12/26: Daddy worked 8am-4pm, and then went straight to Grammy and Pappa’s house for Christmas with Daddies immediate family. Mamma Paige and the kids had been there since 10am already. We ate food, opened gifts, and had tons of fun. We got home around 8:00pm and then did Momma Paige and Daddies gifts for the Brazier Children till about 10:00pm. Kids even got to talk to Mommy on the phone when we finished opening gifts and tell her all about them.

Tuesday 12/27: Daddy worked 8am-4pm, and then went home to get the kids ready to go to Grandpa Ken and Grandma Heidi’s house for Christmas. Were there until a little after 8pm, and then came home with 3 of the 4 kids while the other spent time with his Aunt Hannah because she only in town a few more days.

Wednesday 12/28: Daddy worked 8am-4pm, and Mamma Paige and the kids went to Grandma Pat and Grandpa Tony’s to do Christmas with them. Aunt Darla and Uncle Red were there as well. The kids had a lot of fun there. Then when Daddy got out of work he went home and got the family together to go to Nani Dee’s for a while. The kids opened their gifts with Nani Dee alone while Daddy and Mamma Paige went and walked the mall for a while. Then we all went home and went to bed.

Today, Thursday 12/29: Daddy works 8am-4pm, then we stop by Grammy and Pappas for a last minute gift, then Shanna Banana and Adam are coming over to do Christmas with us.

Tomorrow Daddy doesn’t work and we will be spending the day just having fun and playing around. Daddy is super excited for the down time with the kids.

Long weekend together

It was great having all the kids here with us last week. Daddy and Mamma Paige drove to Chicago to see and pick up Analyse, Elliot and Rylee. Daddy got to go be the Mystery Guest for Analyses class that day, and really surprised Analyse who had no idea that he was coming.

Then Elliot was super surprised when Daddy came to pick him up from school that day. He screamed so loud he made the teacher jump with surprise.

Then we got back to the house, helped mommy with a few things and drove back to Michigan to spend a few days. We even stopped and tried Chick-fil-a for the very first time, it was really good.

Grammy and Pappa met us at Daddy and Mamma Paige’s house to trade vehicles back and say hello.

Thursday Daddy had to work, and Marcus had school, but the kids had tons of fun with Mamma Paige. That evening Daddy and the kids had a lot of fun playing together. Then we had dinner after Mamma Paige went and picked up Marcus from his extra classes at Civic Theater. Grammy and Pappa stopped by for a while to hang out after taking Uncle Bobo to work.

Friday Daddy worked again, but this time Marcus didn’t go to school so the kids all got to hang out and play together all day long. Daddy brought home pizza with him after work and we sat and ate while we watched TV.

Saturday we had a birthday party for Uncle Benson’s daughter Kadriel, It was at the Lodge, and it was a lot of fun. We were there all day playing and the kids even helped the adults pick up afterwards. When we got home the kids all had Daddy write down his and Mamma Paige’s phone numbers on pieces of paper so that they could memorize them and call whenever they wanted.

Sunday Daddy had to work ALL day, but Mamma Paige and the kids went to Grandpa Kens for breakfast and pumpkin painting. Then A&E&R all headed back to Chicago with Grammy and Pappa and behaved very well on the ride. Analyse called Daddy without any help when she got home to let him know they made it home safe and that she had memorized the phone number.

All in all it was a great extended weekend and Daddy and Mamma Paige can’t wait to do it again soon.
