{Brianne 11 months}


Almost a month and my baby will be 1!!! What happened to that tiny little thing I brought home 11 months ago. She is still as sweet as ever...........She is just bigger and moves a lot more (lol) Brianne has ventured in the world of walking!!! (See video below) She is still a vibrant, happy kiddo. She is constantly following her big sister around. One of my favorite sounds is the two of them laughing together. Here is what Bri is up to at 11 months:

Wears 12 months clothes
Size 4 diapers
Has two cute pigtails
Not loving baby food and liking people food a lot
Is no longer a breastfed baby......gives mommy more time in a day ;)
Started walking about 2 weeks ago (she does it at her leisure)
Says Mama, Dada, Uh Oh, Hi, yeah
Loves to clap and dance with music
She enjoys all toys, especially her sisters (ha! it's only the beginning of that battle)
Still a great sleeper (2-two hour naps and sleeps from about 7-6)
Is soooo loved and makes each day even better!!!!!!

This weekend we went to Lake Tahoe with the Impeys and Lauers. The Impeys were so sweet (and maybe crazy) to invite us to their cabin. There were 13 of us total with 7 girls under the age of 4! Honestly everybody got along, everyone helped with everyone kids, all the kids played great -it made for a super weekend. Brooke loved playing in the snow and of course was the daredevil of the group, asking dad to go higher and higher to sled. She even took a big spill, but got back up and went down again. Bri Bri loved just chilling in the snow watching all the snow action. She took in a few sled runs too! So glad we could enjoy this long weekend with great friend in beautiful Lake Tahoe!

Our first party was a Winterwonderland with snow and all. Delaney "the snow princess" turned 2!! It was so much fun to play in the snow (and only have to drive 10 minutes) The kids built a snow man, threw snowballs, and went sledding down the hill. Thanks Brad for making all the trips to Tahoe to bring in the snow.




Big squeezes for my buddies.....maybe a little too tight (lol)


Happy Birthday Abby!! So glad we have you for a friend!!

Abby turned 3 and we celebrated Princess style! The girls has fun playing pin the princess on the castle and making princess tiaras. Happy Birthday Abby!

A visit with Kailynn

Completed gingerbread houses

Driving around the neighborhood





We were lucky enough to have Kailynn stay with us a few days after Christmas. She is always so good with my girls and we have lots of fun playing with her. We played outside, we built a gingerbread house, and played lots of games, including Wii dance (Kailynn kicked my butt).
