A Birthday Party... Without the Birthday Star - We Miss You!

We miss you and hope you had a great night! ... I'm bet you're glad you didn't have to wear a hat this time! Haha. Brynn and Jack weren't cooperating with the hats either! XOXO

"Happy Birthday To You!"

I know, we're crazy but I hope you like! There is even still half of the cake left for you!

I took a few more pics (imagine that!) while the girls were in their dresses because I just LOVE these dresses!

I guess Brooklyn's been taking lessons on the side from Brynn about undressing. This is how I found her one morning!

Future gymnast in training! She's all about obstacle courses now and loves to jump!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!! We miss you and hope you're having a great day. We went to the splash pad in honor of your special day and now neither one of us want to take a nap because we're so excited for you! Mommy's working on the blog and she can hear Brooklyn talking in her crib and I'm playing my "Elmo Goes on the Potty" book. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, tonight should be interesting!

The girls were fairly cooperative trying to get their picture but they had their moments and I snapped a bunch of pictures in a 2 minute time span because that's all the time they gave me! Here are some of the "bloopers" because they're always fun to see as well. They look so thrilled here!

Brynn trying to look like she's having fun!

Love the smile!

Uh oh... getting ready to attack!

There she goes!

and the meltdown begins....

Through all of the craziness, the "W" broke in half but after we fixed it we were able to get a handful of good pictures!

and we love you!!! Hope you've had a great day!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy's real birthday is Wednesday but since he has to go to CA for work this week, we celebrated on Sunday. YUM - a cold stone ice cream cake! Brynn was very excited about this...

Brynn licking her chops before we even finished singing... and don't worry, we had the fire department on call!

Make a wish!

"Hey, where's my cake?!"

We got Daddy a new pair of shoes. Brynn had to make sure they were going to work for her too. She seemed to like how they fit!

She even fit in the shoe box... Daddy does have some pretty big feet!

Brooklyn had fun with the wrapping paper

Daddy and his girls! Happy Birthday to YOU! Have a great week and we'll miss you lots!

How Can This Not Make You Smile?!?!?!

This girl has the best smile ever so I couldn't help but posting a bunch of pics from lunch to make you smile. She makes me smile! Here she was chomping away on puffs and was cracking up because I was tickling her feet! 

Don't mind her dirty bib... we have a messy eater on hand!

Caught On Camera!

I grabbed the camera to get a picture of Brooklyn walking around this morning and didn't even notice this until I was looking at the picture, but Brynn took this as an opportunity to steal my bagel! Check out her face in the background... she knows she was caught! Haha

Date Night! (for Mommy & Daddy)

Bryce and I went out to dinner for the first time in a long time last night! We really had a great time and it was nice to get out without the girls - even though we love them to death - but we actually got a chance to talk and eat a little slower than usual! "Auntie" Donata came over after work to watch the girls and after Bryce and I sort of left without them knowing, they did great. They were happy to see us when we got back though! 

Staying Busy

Auntie Allison got Mommy hooked on this website called Pinterest and now I've been getting to try all of these fun projects! Here Mommy got a ball of play-do, uncooked pasta and cheerios and kept me busy for quite a while!

Look how many cheerios she rung on the pasta - she caught on quick!

While Brynn was doing that, Brooklyn kept herself busy trying to get the Puff off her chin!!

In & Out Burger!

Last night we took the girls to In & Out Burger for the first time! They did GREAT!! Brynn LOVED her shake, but she had quite a bit of her burger and fries too.

Don't want to forget to dip it in ketchup - she still loves to dunk things!

Yum - it was good and lots of fun. We weren't sure what to expect from Brooklyn but she had so much fun, I feel bad I didn't get a picture of her... next time! I thought she was going to get whip lash from people watching! We'll be back In & Out!

Pictures with Michael

My friend, Michael, has been wanting to take pictures of the girls since Brooklyn was born and we finally set a date to get together! He did an amazing job especially since getting these two to sit and at the same time is nearly impossible! I think he captured their personalities perfectly!

What's out there?

This ones pretty much sums up our days. Brooklyn loves to torment Brynn and the look on her face tells you what she thinks of it!

This one is my favorite! We're having a bunch printed and making a collage on our wall.

A Little of This, A Little of That...

Here are a few pics from the last week. The mail's here! Brynn still LOVES to walk and get the mail, 100 degrees and all!

Here she comes with her stroller loaded!

She also has been loving her riding giraffe that Nana & Papa got her last year for her birthday!

And Brooklyn, well she's been busy trying to walk, getting into everything and tormenting her big sister whenever possible. Aaaaaaaaaah, we love her though!

Brynn has a thing with my shoes and socks! Every time I take them off, they're on her feet... sometimes she's untying my shoes while I'm walking! Goofball.
