Some of our favorite things...

Since this is a new blog, I thought I'd post some pictures of some of our favorite things/activities.  Its a little peek into what we enjoy (almost) every day.  Of course, Star Wars is very popular with the Brinkley boys.  Star Wars lego people and light saber duels are their favorite play activities.

 This is our bearded dragon.  The boys hold him every day.  He rotates between Austin and Christian at night for their reading time in bed before lights out.  He was given to us by a friend of mine that has a whole lizard room in her house.  He is 5 years old and came with the name "Fat Boy".  We have not changed that.

 This is still one of my favorite things.  Our house.  It is such a huge blessing to our family and sometimes I still can't believe we have it.  Its a long story, but we certainly didn't think we'd be living anywhere like this 3 years ago!

 Funny faces.  I wish I could post the yelling that goes along with all the silliness.  There is never any shortage of noise or craziness with 3 boys in the house!

 I have really been enjoying planting flowers in our yard this year. 

 We are always on the hunt for bugs.

We also paid for half of 2 Seattle Sounders season tickets this year.  It has been fun to go to the games.  They average about once a month - its about an hour's drive to get to the game.  Tim is in his glory of course.  We let Austin and Christian choose one of the games that Tim would take them to.  They had a blast.  Austin and Christian can tell you all the names of the players as well as the number on their jerseys.  We are now big time Sounders fans!

There are many other things we enjoy that I could post.  Hopefully more of that to come in future posts!
