Petting Zoo

My friend Ann Marie, who is awesome by the way, well her husband works for a Nursing Home and they had a little carnival type shindig. Anyways, they had a petting zoo and it was a hit with the girls, Braedyn and her daughter Kyla. Kyla attacked the animals head on. Braedyn was a little more cautious, very excited but not sure about touching them. She really liked the chicken! At one point she was looking at the bunnies in the cart and didn't notice that the thing bumping her from the side was the donkey. I said "Braedyn look what's behind you!" She turns and her look was priceless! Her eyes got so big and her mouth wide open. She said something like oh man or oh gosh. She is so funny that girl.

Birthday Buddies

Norman and Nixon were born on the same day. They are birthday buddies for life. Katherine's boys have always been so helpful with my girls, all the girl cousins for that matter. I guess when you are surrounded by boys, girls are a novelty. Anyway, Norman is so cute, he loves that he has a birthday buddy. I asked him once how he liked it and he says "I don't know yet, I've never had a birthday buddy before." Well Norman you are doing a fine job!

Bathing Beauties

Kevin finally finished the long awaited bathtub at Grandma's house. The remodeled bathroom looks beautiful - great job Kevin! Here are the grandbaby girls breaking in the tub and having so much fun!

Dinner Party

Jason and I enjoy spending time with our family. Recently we went and visited some very important people, Great Grandma and Uncle Bob. We took dinner out to Great Grandma's house and Jason went with Braedyn to pick up Uncle Bob. We had a delicious dinner together and got to visit. It was a very nice time. The kids enjoy spending time with them and I know they enjoy spending time with the girls.

A New Addition

Congratulations Juliet (& Family)! Another beautiful baby boy to add to your gorgeous family! You're a super mom!

Yummy Cereal!

Nixon is one step closer to being a big girl. She doesn't look like she's enjoying it I know but she's getting the hang of it. I was trying to hold out but she's just too hungry sometimes. Since my stubborn child will not take a bottle or drink any other liquid other than from her mommy I decided to start the feeding ritual of solids. I need to be able to give her those puffs and cheerios those last minutes of Sacrament, you know. Unlike I did with Braedyn, I have tried my hardest to suspend time and not let Nixon grow. I know I should have listened, they do grow up too fast so say it "I told you so". (A tear runs down my cheek) I have also realized that I probably need to move my almost 5 month old into her own room at night too. But I don't want her to leave.......Ahhh the joys and pains of motherhood.

Oh and Braedyn is such the big helper. She always wants to do everything, control freak, I'm sure she must have gotten that trait from her father. I've never been known to be a control freak, no not me!

I'm So Cute
