New Photos
Here are some photos of the girls that were taken for Easter. We went to Portrait Innovations in Oklahoma City and I think they turned out fantastic! I will be posting these on Snapfish and sending them to everyone in the event you would like to order some of your own. Enjoy!

Spring Break Vacation
The girls and I are enjoying balmy Ponca City, Oklahoma this week. Today the thermometer reached 89 degrees! All of the girls were stripped just about bare it was so hot!
Well, Lydia (my sister-in-law)and I took the girls (Madelynn, McKenna and Adysan)down to Oklahoma City to get their Easter pictures taken at Portrait Innovations. They are masters of the camera there, because after an hour of us jumping around like idiots, adjusting the same lock of hair 20 times and wiping one little nose (which ended up being snotty in the one good picture!) more times than I can count, they were able to take some great shots. The nice thing about this studio is that they have actual cameras that they can get down on the floor with the kids and move around and capture their true personality, rather than a big stationary machine. As soon as I get the CD, I'll post some of them so you can all see.
In the meantime, my Tahoe is in the shop down here for some much needed maintanence. We're getting a new set of tires (insert wince here), an alignment, four new shocks and general upkeep. Since I now have a new windshield (a whole other adventure), I figured it was time to get everything tuned up. And what better time than when we're hanging around and having lazy play days at Granny and Poppa's house?
Must go to bed now. Wrangling three girls in a portrait studio, sitting through more Disney movies (in the truck, on the way down there) than I care to count and cleaning up blue and pink ice cream (WHY didn't I just get vanilla???), I'm pretty much worn out.

Funniest in the Family
For those of you who may not know, the Brest children have, for some reason, taken to ranking themselves and their siblings in different areas. I'm sure it's not a stretch to anyone's imagination that I am considered to be at the top of the "Bossiest" list. And even with the addition of siblings (albeit in-laws), that ranking has remained stationary.
Another category that is looked at, is the funniest sibling. While I do not merit the lowest ranking (Congratulations Chris!), I most certainly do not rank at the top. Mostly uncontested for "Funniest Sibling" would be Ben (for further proof, please visit http://www.benjaminbrest.blogspot.com). With the addition of our brother-in-law Jeremy, that title is now a tie. To prove that this title is well-earned, Ben and Jeremy formed an Improv comedy team with two friends and competed in the Thunderdome Improv competition. Their team, Kill the DJ, won their round and they will move on to the finals in April! Congratulations guys!
The following web address will take you to a YouTube video of their winning performance (you may have to just copy and paste it into the web address bar). Ben and Jeremy would be the two bald guys in the group. WARNING: After viewing this video, you may have a better insight into the delicate balance of the Brest family gatherings!
