WE ARE SO EXCITED TO BE BLOGGING!
We may be late, but hopefully we are not too late.
We took the Wife/Husband test that everyone else has taken, and we found out that Soupie is a Poor wife, while I am an average husband. Something must be wrong... ..There is no way that I am only average. Actually, Soupie is the Best wife and mother, and average is a bit of a stretch for me. I tell Carlee that she has a free pass to Heaven for having to deal with me, and that should go double for Soupie.
Soupie and I are very lucky to have such great girls.
Carlee just turned 12 in December, and is a very good daughter and sister. She is beautiful, smart, and talented at many things including art, dancing, and horse back riding. She has also mastered the art of manipulating me to do about whatever she wants. She is our strong minded but sensitive hearted pride.
Tayler is now 21 months old. She has the spunk and attitude of diva. she also has Soupie and I wrapped around her little finger. Her favorite past time is teasing all of her adult relatives with a kiss, and when they lean in she gives them a smack instead. She loves to dance and sing, and copy her sister. She is also our strong minded and loving blessing.
Soupie is the heart of our family. I am so lucky to have her raising our girls. She has the strength and love to bring up strong and loving children. She is able to somehow balance working, maintaining a spotless house, and babysitting her husband. I owe everything that has been good for our family to her. She is also a great wife, and it is no exaggeration to say I am very lucky.I am trying to do what is right and good for our family. In the past I wasn't the best at this (lets call this my 20's), but my family never gave up on me. I hope to one day succeed at being a father and husband like my dad. I am very proud to be his son. My mother is also a great strength to me. We have over come many trials as a family and individually, and I am sure we will have many more, but with the example of my parents I am confident we will be fine.
We look forward to a new year and to strengthening and rekindling relationships we have missed in the past.HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

So, I am so glad to see dad and I are in good company when it comes to the 30s test. I took the test before dad and got a "Poor" and then he decided to take the test and he got an "average". Stupid test! I told the other kids that we were superior because we have beautiful, smart and kind children! By the way thanks for the nice things you said. We think you guys are awsome too.
Nice, you got me all teary-eyed at work! I love you guys and think you are both equally lucky to have each other. Carlee and Tayler are lucky to have parents that love and adore them so much.
Welcome to the blogging world, it's nice to have you! btw, the first time I took the 30's test I scored a -2. Yeah, it's a good thing my husband doesn't expect much from me. :)
what an awesome post! We are so excited you guys have a blog now and look forward to reading more about you guys!! We all loved spending time with you and hope to see you soon!
Hey Brandt. It is so awesome to see you writing here on the blogoshere. I find it calming to write about my days once in awhile. It reminds me of how amazing my life is and how wonderful my family is. Just like yours. I hope you guys can come down to California soon. We bought a trundle bed that has two twin beds, and are getting another trundle bed with two more twin mattresses. So lots of places for people to sleep. I love you big brother. Mike
ok, I'm back. It's only been 2 minutes, but I realized that the first time I looked at your blog, I didn't look at the pictures, I just read the message. Tell Carlee and Tayler we love them so much. They are such beautiful girls! And I expect to see Carlee write on here once in awhile.
Oh my gosh! I can't believe you guys are blogging! You are all SO awesome. I look forward to reading everything in your blog! We love you!!!
Okay, it's time for a new blog. chop chop... Let Carlee get on here and tell us how she is doing in school, and how her little sister is. We miss you guys. Mike, Nikki, and the kids.
