Supercross!

Okay so this blog is mostly about the girls but I just wanted to share about our weekend. Every year Grandma Letty flies up to watch Brook, and now Bryn, so that Jon and I can enjoy our weekend. This year we were able to sit by the pool all afternoon until it was time to get ready to go to the races. I don't think I've ever really paid attention to the actual races until of course the last few laps but it's a great to chance to just hang out and visit without a tiny person demanding your attention or needing something that very momment. So funny how some adult time can make you feel like a real person again. Anyways we had great time and I'm already counting the days till next year!

Brook's Birthday!

Brook is 4 years old! She decided she wanted to go Disney princess this year, surprise right? She had a great party as usual. I think Jon and I look forward to her parties as much as she does. We get to see family and friends and just hang out and visit all weekend, it's like a mini reunion. This year she got to invite friends from school and on her actual birthday I took in cupcakes for her to share and Mrs. Shaw was great to have the kids sing to her and make a big fuss. Also this year Brook had a slumber party the night before her party. Brook called it the "girl party". Alyssa, Alexis, Anissa and Bryn were here and even though were not technically "girls" myself, my mom, my sister and Robin were also part of the fun. We had pizza and made/decorated cupcakes, Robin did the facepainting and tattoos for the girls and then we watched Enchanted in our princess pijamas, well the ladies were in pink pijamas since I haven't seen any princess pj's in adult size. The day of her party we had her jumper out for the little ones and then rented one for the big kids, which apparently includes Jon and friends, Robin and mom did more face painting and tattoos and of course the regular birthday food and cake. All in all I think everything went well but I do have to admit I'm looking forward to the time when Brook decides she just wants a few of her friends for her birthday celebration because in September we get to start the big family and friends celebration for Bryn. I'm trying to get a pony rides for her, wish me luck! :)

Pretty princesses!

It's so much fun to play dress up. Alyssa sent Brook a ton of dress up clothes so of course we had to try them all! Bryn even got in on the fun. The joys of being a little girl.

Look over there...

Brian and Brynnie! We were at Stephanie's so the kids could do their Easter eggs and Brian was so sweet wanting to sit with Bryn and get their picture taken. He's a great big "brother".

Too cool!

Have your people call my people!

Our little superstar. Brook has suddenly become very aware of her appearance and the presence of a camera. I would not be surprised to find career of choice putting her in the spotlight of some sort.

Sleepy time!

It's hard work waking Mommy up in the middle of the night!

Yes, there is water in the desert but don't blink or you'll miss it!!!

Silly girls!

Who does your hair?

Easily entertained!

Even Mommy can be funny!

Time for a drink!

I'm getting so big!

Bryn has made clear she would rather her have her sisters cup than her bottle so we've introduced the sippy cup and she loves it! Apparently water in a cup is so much better than water in a bottle, who knew?

It's us again!

Gosh, we are cute aren't we! I really do love these overhead shots of the girls, they are so beautiful!

Super Bowl Sunday!

It's quite funny that Jon and I don't watch football but that we can never miss the Superbowl and have a get together every year to watch it. My favorite part of course are the commercials, thought this year I was a little disappointed. Oh well still looking forward to next years commercials.
