A Brakey Family Christmas

These are the Brakey Boys! Trying their best to challenge the strength of the Stud, Alex!

This was Kaiti's attempt to turn me into a super model! Although she gave great direction, just like Tyra would, there really is only so much that can be done.

Ryan and Troy rocckin' out....Alex is on drums. Neither Ryan or Troy are coordinated enough to rock the drums!

I love this picture! The other night, Max and I were at Kaiti's dance recital. Kaiti was in the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies with the little kids! Max loved it! He turned to me and said, "I just love that Kaiti!"

Too long.......

It's been awhile since I blogged, we have stayed pretty darn busy! But I thought I'd show off a few pictures!

Halloween was a little lonely for me and Troy! Kaiti went off with her girlfriends, Alex went to a party and Max went Trick or Treating with Bo and Brooklyn. Troy was okay with that though. Then he could watch the Yankees came uninteruppted!!!

It's a little weird-Halloween is, when you don't have little kids to dress up in cute costumes, but we did our best!

Here's our Super Girl (s)!

Alex thought it would be funny to be a cheerleader!



But not before trying on Max's StarWars Trooper costume from last year!



Darling!

Max is D Track so he tracked off a couple weeks before Halloween. I hadn't heard anything about whether or not they would be doing a party so when Bo and Brooklyn came dressed up that last morning before they tracked off in their cute costumes, I panicked! We literally threw this together within minutes so he would have a costume. This is why I hate Halloween. Growing up I always felt like a dork with the dumb costume and I have never wanted my kids to feel the way I did. Max didn't seem to care that his costume was his football uniform! We just threw on a black eye to make it look a little better! It was pretty real looking too! Everyone at Football practice thought it was real!

On Halloween night's party, Meckell's dad didn't like the idea of Alex being the cheerleader and Meckell being the qback! And of course you can't keep Max out of any picture!

Alex and his friends-the night before Halloween. They went to another party. Hunter is an Ultimate Fighter, Bobby is Nacho Libre-ore stretchy pants of course, and the two girls (whose names I can't remember!)
