Girls at the mall

took Camden and Baxley to play at the mall on a rainy day this week, they had fun!

All I kept thinking about was the germs they were probably picking up from those games and play things that every snott nosed brat climbs on and drools over.....I guess that's part of the fun.

Sisters forever..

Sometimes they don't get along all that well! Savannah refused to have madison stand beside her in this picture!

Baxley's ice cream

This is Baxley with her rainbow sherbert...happy as can be, messy and stinky! Just what summer should be! This was also at the safari that you will see in the next post...

Kids at the animal safari....

All my kids, plus two more (Carter and Jordan) went to this animal safari the other day... you pay a ton of money, then more money for a couple of buckets of animal feed, and then the fun begins...
In your car, you drive through a gate that leads to the "safari" where animals come up to your car and eat out of your bucket. The animals are things like goats, deer, potbelly pigs, cows, bison/buffalo, and even zebras!! Oh, let me not forget the giant ostriches! that peck your bucket and make all the kids in the car scream in terror!!!!
this was a great adventure for all of us, we had 9 of us piled in my SUV and there was animal feed all over the place! Kids screaming, some crying and some laughing....what a blast!
the best part is the ice cream after it is all over! This picture is the kids on a swing enjoying the day!

Its a Girl!!!!!!!

Yes, the Brassell's have done it again! another girl on the way January 24th!

John was distraught, he lost the boy recipe I guess, all he could say was "do you know how much money weddings cost?" But, like always, when they are born and he is holding them, they melt his heart and he is in love forever! Savannah makes him cookies, Maddy wrestles with him, Camden sings him songs, and Baxley just likes to give kisses to her daddy....He is a happy man!

Little John was happy though, he is now the only boy, so they plan to do many "manly" things together in the near future!!

Eat More Chicken!

This particular day, I heard that you could dress like a cow and get a free meal...so what do you do? Dress all your kids like a cow, and get $20 worth of free lunch!! Of course! It was so much fun, I'm sure the kids will remember this one until we do it again next year!

Paddle Boating with the Fam

So much fun! so how many Brassell's can you fit in a paddle boat? well we were determined to try and answer that question for ourselves! It took us two boats but we did it!

Family Beach Trip!

We took a trip to myrtle beach a few weeks ago, and our pasty white legs caused a scene I'm sure! It was absolutely gorgeous weather and the kids had a great time, Baxley had never seen the beach and stood awestruck for the first couple of minutes and didn't know what to think, but after that she ran and never stopped! Her favorite thing was to let the water touch her and scream "you no catch me" and run away. The girls played with the sand crabs and little john just floated around in the ocean like some kind of shark or porpoise or whale or something!!
