Blessedly Normal: June 2013
http://braeggerfamilynews.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 23, 2013. We stayed the night in Brookings at the nicest hotel. It was so clean and the owner was super nice. I wish I could remember the name of it! In the morning we headed up the 101 along the Oregon Coast. We all loved driving along the ocean and watching the waves. We even saw some seals on a beach as we drove by. We wanted to explore some tide pools with the kids so as soon as it stopped raining we found a place to explore. Holden was really excited to head down to the ocean. Our next ...

Blessedly Normal: December 2012
http://braeggerfamilynews.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 13, 2012. Best Thanksgiving. Ever. This year, we didn't really have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. The invitations never seemed to come. But that's okay because this year was my most favorite Thanksgiving ever! It was seriously the most relaxing, enjoyable one I've ever had. The kids were out of school on Wednesday so we headed up to the cabin after Josh got off work. We ordered a pie from Kneaders (key lime-yum! Then we bundled up and headed out to find some Christmas Trees! Merry C...

Blessedly Normal: January 2014

Friday, January 3, 2014. Day 2: Making Memories. Day 3: Everyday Moments (always in my car). It was fun (and a little alarming-I don't like these pictures of me) and I'm glad I did it. I hope my kids remember me as an active part of their childhood when they grow up. I love them so much! Links to this post. Thursday, January 2, 2014. Ally turned 14 on September 28. It was quite a weekend for the birthday girl! This is the collage I made for Instagram. So fun to see her change through the years! JK It rea...

Blessedly Normal: For Fun
http://braeggerfamilynews.blogspot.com/2013/11/for-fun.html
Tuesday, November 19, 2013. I just keep finding fun pictures. It's hard to keep them all organized now that I have my phone, Josh's phone, Ally's ipod, Logan's ipod, and my good camera to look through for pictures. Oy! Too many different places! We loved having the Kotter's come for one of the shows! It's so much fun to have friends in the audience. I loved this picture of Jens' "tough guy face". The Lollipop guild is supposed to be the tough guys of Munchkinland so he tried really hard to look tough!

Blessedly Normal: October 2013
http://braeggerfamilynews.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 25, 2013. Back to School and Such. This will be another random post as I try to catch up. I keep finding pictures that are blog worthy. :). Jensen had a rain gutter regatta and placed sixth out of 24. Not bad! Holden was feeling a bit eccentric this day. The kids went back to school! Anyway, I have three kids in three different schools. Four, if you count preschool. Yup, it's kind of annoying. At least Ally and Logan ride the same bus. That catches us up a little more. ;). After Willy Won...

Blessedly Normal: March 2013
http://braeggerfamilynews.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 13, 2013. The boys got snow tubes for Christmas and they had been begging us to go sledding. We finally found a few minutes on a Saturday afternoon and took them up to the East park. They were anxious to have some fun before it got too dark. It was funny watching Holden pull the big tube up the hill. They were having so much fun! It had been a couple years since we had been sledding at the park. Thumbs up from Logan. Mom and Dad even got in on the action. Shocking, I know! We had a momen...

Blessedly Normal: August 2012
http://braeggerfamilynews.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 3, 2012. Here Fishy, Fishy. We had our annual fishing trip to the Uintahs the last week in June. The kids were so excited to go, and we had so much fun. Holden was so excited to catch a fish, he could hardly contain himself! The Kotters (minus Gwen and Blake) were able to join us for the afternoon. It wouldn't be the same without them! Jensen caught the first fish! Dad, Holden and Fish. Does it get any cuter than this? Josh and I didn't end up catching anything, but it was still an awesome...

Blessedly Normal: October 2012

Wednesday, October 24, 2012. I never know what to get my kids for their birthday. So I kept hearing from people how fun the plasma cars are, so I went ahead and got one for Holden. I was going to buy one online but I didn't want to pay shipping, so instead I drove to 8 different stores before I finally found one. I definately should have just paid the shipping. Lesson learned. They are fun, though. I may or may not have given it a try. He's just a little excited to open presents. A fun winter hat. Riding...

Blessedly Normal: Wizard of Oz
http://braeggerfamilynews.blogspot.com/2013/10/wizard-of-oz.html
Friday, October 25, 2013. After Willy Wonka, Ally found out that Heritage Theatre was going to perform The Wizard of Oz this summer. For a year, our family had been planning on auditioning for the play. Me, Ally, Logan and Jensen all tried out. The kids made it as Munchkins! Side note* I didn't really fit in the cast, I was too old to be an Ozian, and not talented enough to be a main character. At least that's what I tell myself. Ally and Josie are checking out "the young lady who fell from the stars".
