SIlly Girls

Can you tell what we had for dinner tonight?

I love lazy days with my girlies (they don't happen much around here so I have to take advantage) Bri Bri just got her new chair from the Evos-the girls love sitting in their little chairs!

What can I get into next????

It's a BEEday Party!

The birthday girl-she is 1!
Bri Bri and Harlow (you should have seen her face light up when Harlow walked it) It melted my heart!
Bri was hilarious at her party. I swear she actually knew the party was for her. In this picture the group was singing to her and she just got up and started running around, smiling, and shaking her bells. It was so funny!
She enjoyed all the bars and climbing on all the objects
Playing with the "sticks"

Loving the parachute
Under the parachute-so fun!
Brennan and Trevy being monkeys on the bar (poor guys -they were the only 2 boys)
Crazy Mar Mar!

WHAT A MESS!!! She did not like the taste of the cake, although playing with it was fun!

The big girl got bumble bee and ladybug umbrellas (because there are so many girls- the little sisters got ladybugs) umbrellas and the babies got bumble bee books!
I LOVE all the details and the bee theme was so fun to decorate with!!! These pics you can see all the little details!
Saturday we had Brianne's first BEEday party. I did a BEE theme this year and it turned out really cute and was so much fun! All the kids had such a blast. The Little Gym did a very good job keeping the kids busy and letting them play games, then moving back to just free play. Brianne truly loved it and was the life of the party, moving around all over! She liked digging in the cake but wasn't a huge fan of eating it! She needed a bath for sure when she got home!

I am so glad so many of our friends and family (a special thanks for those that had to travel far!!!) were able to share in our baby girls 1st birthday. I love celebrations especially for my girlies!

Brianne {12 months-1year}

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When people use that expression "time goes by so fast".........that is literally what happened this past year! Seriously.........how did Brianne get to be a year old!!! Such a blessing this year has been. It has been filled with all the great memories and moments Brianne has brought to our lives.

Being that their are 12 months in a year -I figured I would tell you 12 things about Brianne
12. Her given name is Brianne Elizabeth but is rarely ever called that....... she is Bri Bri

11. She is seriously one of the happiest kids I have ever met (and that is not being biased) She truly enjoys life!

10. She walks/runs around like crazy. She is every where and anywhere, but smiling the whole time she is doing it!

9. Sometimes we call her short legs..lol She is much shorter than her sister was but has lots of baby rolls to add cuteness!

8. Has the cutest 1 year old bob hair cut ever! I'm just loving it!

7. Wears 12-18 month clothes, Size 4 diapers, and Size 4 shoes

6. Has 4 teeth and is getting 2 more (her canine teeth)

5. Has incredible blue eyes that melt your heart everytime you look at them.

4. Loves to dance and play with any musical instrument! Loves to play talk on the phone and say hi to everyone we see!

3. Somedays she loves people food, somedays not so much! Does love her milk though!

2. Adores her sister, follows her around and loves to play with her and her toys

1. She is loved more than she will ever know by some many!

Happy 5th Birthday Hannah!

Before Bri Bri's birthday party we got to celebrate with our friend Hannah! Brooke (Bri was resting up for her big day) had so much fun at her "art" birthday party. The kids got to paint, draw and make cards, sculpt birds from clay, and follow a teacher directed art lesson (they made a unicorn). They got a fun little craft apron to take home too! Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Hannah! We love you very much and are so happy to be your friend!

Happy Birthday Mar Mar!

LOOK AT HOW BIG THEY ARE NOW!!!!

4 year old Marren!
Brookie got Marren some new books!

Can't believe Little Mar Mar is 4!!! I remember how excited we were for Ryan and Jaclyn the day she was born. I also remember how excited we were when we found out we were having a little girl, so they could grow up and be great friends. It has been such a treat to watch Marrren grow and mature. We feel so lucky to be involved in her life. I have loved watching Brooke and Marren's friendship blossom over the years. We had so much celebrating Marren at her Gymastics birthday party!

Happy Valentine's Day!

LOVEbugs!!!

Happy Valentines Day from our little LOVEbugs!!!!



*These pictures are scanned so the coloring of them are even cooler in person, but it allows you to see our two cuties!!!

These are some pics from today. Daddy was so sweet and brought home flower, not only for mommy but his two little Valentines!

Brianne's First Haircut

This haircut thing is pretty fun!!!!

Cutting off the ends

A new little bob!

Before (notice the sides)

Sister got a quick trim too!


Brianne has had a lot of hair since she was born and it grew in like a perfect A cut. Except the sides were growing at 3x the rate as the back. So it was super long on the sides and short in the back. I decided it was time for a little trim up. We went to Jack and Jilly Beans, this cute little children's hair salon (same place I took Brooke for her first hair cut) for her first hair cut. She loved it. She got to sit in the fire truck and liked looking at herself in the mirror. She looks like such a cutie with her new little bob cut.
