Our little BOY!

So our little Quino has been home for about 8 days now and he's already lost that "newborn" look. It's kinda sad. Anyway....Kaori and Rori are loving him and they want to be by him all the time. It's been cute.

Six Years of BS (Brett's initials)

On Sunday, Brett and I celebrated 6 blissful years of marriage. SIX YEARS! I still can't believe how quickly time has passed, but when I think about all the things we've done and been through, I can't believe that it's only been 6 years.

As a side note, Mom and Dad didn't call us on our anniversary... uh oh! Just kidding, but that does mean that we get a pass in October? We love you!

It's sad that the only picture I have of us is when I was pregnant with Brady. We need to start taking more family pictures.

Go Texan Day

So today is "Go Texan" Day at school and Kaori was able to dress up as a cowgirl for school rather than the usual polo shirt and khakis/jeans uniform. Of course it had to be a PINK cowgirl. They have been talking about cowboys and cowgirls at school so she was very excited to dress up. I was excited too because she never wants to wear her cowboy boots that I bought last year!







































Not sure if it's hormonal or what but lately when I drop her off at school I get a little teary eyed....I just think..."that's my little girl" as she walks herself up to the front door of the school and she always turns around before going in and waves with a big smile.

Anyway...Happy TEXAN DAY!

Happy Birthday(s)!!

Can you believe Brady is a whole year old!?!!?? We had a great time during Brady's party. I'll post more pictures our Steed Blog.

Happy Birthday to Mom too! We wish you could have been here!

New Steed Blog

Hello
We've decided to start a blog for our own little family. I've already sent out invitations to read it. If you would like to view our blog, and didn't receive an invite, you can email me at mireillesteed@hotmail.com
We will still contribute to this blog, but we will mainly be posting on the Colorado Steeds Blog.
So if you need to get your fix on pictures of these two, come by!

This will be a very familiar setting for all of you and Mom and Dad just wish all could be here next time. Since Brett was here, he did the cutting of the turkey again, just like he did for a few years back, here at home and at Lysle's in Columbus.

BEST OF FRIENDS. Evan and Gabriel enjoying their time last Thanksgiving Day.

WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR!!

...for Evan!

We had a little early Christmas gift openning for Evan, since we're leaving for CA. Check out those rims...

..."leather" interior, and even "wood" accents. It actually has a working radio, which is pretty cool.LVNLG, that's right, Livin' Large... but I'll be honest, I was like "What does loving leg mean?"

Daddy ended up having to give push rides, since the battery needs 18 hours to charge.

Here are some assembly pictures. It wasn't easy putting it together and getting all the stickers on with these two. Look at Brady's booty. I love that fat baby.

But it was so worth seeing Evan super excited. (The ultimate head-down-eyes-closed-Evan-smile)

And the finished product.
