AHHHHHHHHHH! Help us, please!
Yes, the naughty plan Conner helped put into play has been hatched (previously mentioned accomplice has fled to Phoenix pending future extradition back to Seattle). All stinkin cute kids will run the house! If your don't think this is true, please feel free to call and verify with anyone of the momma's of the stinkin cute kids.

I love you cousin. Camping together is SO fun!
Hey do you see that dog Kenzie? Too bad your mom says you can't have one. She must be really mean! I have three dogs... so I must have a super awesome mom!
Hey stop that we're in public Kenzie, and we're related!
What's the plan Kenzie? Lets go do something naughty while no one is watching.
Kenzie, I'm tried... I'll take a nap while you keep working on our 'naughty' plan.
I wish I had a baby brother mommy (White.) I'm so nice to babies, you can have just ONE more.
Nikki and Conner are bundled up because part of the weather during their fabulous stay was like winter for them, in the 60's. But they braved it!
If your with a Brusik, ice cream is probably in the menu somewhere. We walked to the vibrant (hee, hee) downtown area to buy a couple of shakes.
We had a "dog" gone good visit with you all! Thanks for adjusting your schedules to spend some time with us. We love you all xoxoxo!

I clap and wave and do high fives. I'm can walk behind my push car and crawl all over the place. I say Mommy and Daddy, just not to the right people. 
I loved the animals, especially the big elephants.
She Rocks!

The whole gang. 
Last week I had a bunch of friends over to play in my hippo pool. However, I didn't want to swim with them. I just wanted to eat my snacks and have them be my entertainment.
Birthday Boy Cayleb turned 5 on the 5th, having been born on the 6th month, on the 5th day, in the 4th year (2004).
Five years ago, we all had our fingers crossed Cayden would have a brother,
Madalyn wasn't too sure she wanted the boy baby with dark hair once he came out,
Nikki who had just started dating Chris was hoping he would be in town long enough to hold a new baby and change a diaper since he had NEVER done those things before, well he has practice now,
everyone else rushed to the hospital,
most of you were in the room to see him born,
the rest just outside the door,
we didn't have time to even take the kids over to a neighbors,
all thoughts of going natural fled me during a stress test the day before the estimated his weight to be about 9 lbs. (he was 8 lbs. 14 oz.),
Mom and Randy helped hold my feet while I pushed what I thought would probably be my last baby,
and now 5 years later he is all grown up and fighting inter-galatic wars in some serious hyper-speed mode!
Looking like he took over control of the Imperial Senate in his birthday crown, Cayleb was sooooooo excited to have his gift that has been tempting him from the top of the fridge for almost a month now.
The birthday boy also decided to have big brother stay home from school and transform into Lego Master (Chris may opt to have title restored by correctly defining the difference between the Republic Gun Ship and the Republican party), it only took the majority of the day, but by the time Cayleb came home from pre-school his ship was put together, thanks big brother!
Brotherly love! The boys were messing around at the park and looking extra sharp in the wardrobe selection by Grandpa and Grandma Brusik, thank you! I took this yesterday evening, since the Birthday Boy decided after his special dinner and before more ice cream he would like to go to a little local park. Unfortunately, a few minutes after this picture, we were all rolling down the hill, Cayleb stood up, dizzy, and fell over on the sidewalk, giving him a big ole' birthday bump on his forehead. Fitting since he started out as a bump in the belly, and while giving him his gift we sang, "heavy, heavy hang over thy poor head, what do you wish this person with a bump on the head?" See, birthday wishes really do come true and having a healthy, happy Cayleb is definitely one of my birthday wishes, always. Happy Birthday Cayleb!!!Dad we hope you had a great birthday and well, we think your old enough now to know the truth....
It all starts out as fun and games until someone gets hurt. Luckily, today wasn't our day. The tramp is by far the best toy we have ever had. It is safely tucked in the corner of the yard, with gravel rocks below, no safety pad to cover exposed springs, a false sense of security with the trees that loosely cover the thorny blackberry bushes behind and large landscaping rocks that are, well rock hard on the other side. I figure kids have gotta be kids, scrapes, bruises, cuts and all!
Cayleb the Cute Curling Ball
Cayden the Crazy
She's sticking to the slide, though she does go down unassisted at 17 months! No fear - we raise some tough cookies, she is going to have her PhD in rock jumping soon!
This is Despereaux... notice the big ears, small size and peach fuzz.
