She told me the boys!<br /><br />Boys???<br /><br />I told her boys can't come to a "hincess" party. <br />She then informed me...<br />"Umm Hmm....they are my favorite!!!"<br /><br />OH MY!! Isn't this a little soon to be having boys on the mind!!!<br /><br />2 seconds later...<br /><br />Addie says "Boys Drool"<br /><br />I asked her who told her that.....Ms. Joy!!!<br /><br />I plan on thanking Ms.Joy the next time I see her :)Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06485018095853374170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246186293286166873.post-91412218255549726342010-06-02T12:05:00.001-04:002010-06-13T21:51:09.181-04:00A Pedicure and Geography Lesson. . .I went for a pedicure this weekend and had to take both the girls with me. Crazy...I know!! A 2 year old and a 5 year old....so much for relaxation!!!<br /><br />The place I went to had a smaller chair for kids so Brynn used her graduation money to get a pedicure. I was a few (5) chairs down from her and couldn't really hear the conversation she was having with the lady doing her pedicure.<br /><br />A few hours after we left (I had to go to a wedding rehearsal)I was talking to her about the pedicure. She told me the lady was very nice and was asking her questions...how old are you, what's your name???<br /><br />Then she told me she thought the lady talked a little funny so she asked the lady where she was from. I asked Brynn what the lady told her and she said very matter of fact "<em>Doorknob</em>!"<br /><br />I was trying my best not to laugh and asked her "<em>Doorknob</em>?? Are you sure??"<br /><br />She told me yes the lady said she was from Doorknob, but she was hard to understand.<br /><br />After a couple of minutes Brandon and I finally came to the conclusion that she was from Vietnam. Brynn said " Yeah....that's what she said <em>Vitknob</em>!!"<br /><br />So apparently there is a new country in the world called Vitknob!!Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06485018095853374170noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246186293286166873.post-43922100692020631592010-05-13T11:24:00.004-04:002010-05-13T12:34:05.689-04:00Ending of a Chapter...Today Brynn will graduate from preschool.

You never leave us with a dull moment. You are full of energy and a little drama!! We have know since an early age that you are not a morning person, you L-O-V-E your sleep!!! I guess you get it honest!! We also learned early about your love for animals, no matter how big or small or what type, you love them all. You are a daddy's girl through and through - none of that girly stuff for you. Well maybe a little lip gloss and nail polish here and there. You are a great big sister to Addie . We love your silly faces you are always making, dances you are always twirlling to, and songs you are always creating.<br /><br /><div align="center">You are the best surprise we could have ever gotten!!!! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382399396358858562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDgl9b9p4_k1r2ZKBFHHXQD7xopgf5Q5xPnOZ1FS222-XZop3oIFhNE7cSp7z1TVKvSJq94o7Q-bJ9x3G0MG69BoMtFKyxxPvXUMRwZJuvyF9rb7L5cxR_Hh6nFrakiIR7dEJwERzc-XBk/s400/100_1010.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382399402714356114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXtnEoVbhgiCHaxvG5AZuCieJnGBrxzDWVpiOyGTLRSinMXzNoU4oFZ0qECnUvO8kH3V3QFtj86-7iV7GkZrc8n8dYZYUCd2SHFuDvbRBC4wObootG9Q5i_EHKybOmCbgt4qhQAvDAINf/s400/100_1364.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382403216384240338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9_84kepo59ADuQq9wy0pDuZnqRIjxn9_c5D2mqpGCKiDlVbJtgKlYzLkzewkd30fPQmriBj0wTRA52GiBkW9tlIbS9W86hYlvdfV2dgevuO7d87lB4LMeMhwiiHPjss4GxxJngORSdw5n/s400/100_1954.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382403223060445538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAbiapduDzhUU7Rc64PE9G2wvH2Y5GAbNqvyC6nsd0PykotYoW0PJZ7MqBDuq5ItgEn4rTGuaXor_Zc7noq3356Kvi3wNkf2cU7WWkdJ0rXvfHJtop1BRJZLDfBoJmv4c32RDVZz1U174g/s400/100_2131.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382403231685214530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYxstNwUGXhTOl6MY9PjomQwhxMC2N-DBJ-Q3g4lg9KTViVKXNyeZM_QbhECoXd10FNFgYO90l3316mOsLU4YDI253Byt1YvcWf6Gi6mQEBUQWeulT-URNp7IhwFEeZwedptkSSnRAyAth/s400/100_2282.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382403239720785154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkVovvmTJ6ycQd3p7foOVN2jcqo3TIr7_K-k5JTmNYzvgYViFPLbTpUI5VZW-S1DGdJaWjqWjNLLI8P9boO0sSdqa_g-CtR7cuUwTdRm4UeJ_eTkyBgNVq4STFc4ZD2253j2Wub6o3WvdR/s400/100_2499.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382407927646256450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVEV0UJCRsREeSDyCCl72Wm0P2WBUAanCpx3StydOJAamOwEKvf_CUoYa9uyAl8-5d2ooFXpDuV05ZApMB6mJWMuLK0oNeltmMO8GCxwSMOB99MxZcwj_n6nriEyz3oiODY3Uf8IfdOSW5/s400/family+117.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382407870521716562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEAS2uKK94HuAfJYksK2TqRO3tIQJkukPhet54EweEMEsfQM2Ac_u6cjdSwjr3GSziNMGlRCNNxdRj4qFI3O9hnrnjtVidWH-N2pB9oggA8zuV2uah5qgiN1pBN02r5oyF0_G4Bdi-T710/s400/100_2686.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382407896131432098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qAngVH4YhilJXSxAElw902rgLNsHNBeP3GUB7vSiTkH2Sb0MnH2bNLjWpvo2o1OAZOSORgORt5y-rsQGDBiOcuGL5IbS_2G3D7EgCGZS7h9uLUf53fdJp64uJqDIGfPmK2dNIaTxKmeU/s400/Ballerina+Brynn+042.jpg" /></div><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">WE LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY!!!!!</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Daddy, Mommy, and Addie</span></p>Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06485018095853374170noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246186293286166873.post-35878071839300311922009-08-21T22:47:00.012-04:002009-08-22T07:27:22.427-04:00Happy Birthday to our Addie Grace. . .<div align="left">2 years ago today our family of 3 became a family of 4. We were all so excited to meet our newest member. I think everyone just wanted to know if you were a girl or a boy. We {Brandon and I} didn't really mind either way. Brynn knew all along that you were going to be "twinders" {2 year old talk for twins} because that is what Dora's mom had. My labor was quick {I only pushed 2 or 3 times} and at 1:32 pm we welcomed our new baby <strong><span style="color:#ffcccc;">GIRL</span></strong> to this world!!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 452px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372615234192282178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT2HdSa3TVu6nuJwO38sqlaJjPJk5T6-YE4aBpDtBkIJfRfi_8RgcQ5Fppv1ctJXBFGa9lj8Eg6HAqTnHEx682b5tGu5uejmTE3NapRPMumCbmbCL0YHJTP4djGlxOhR6t0T0ME-OCkBVj/s400/100_2608.jpg" />You have grown so quickly. It is hard to believe that you are 2 years old. We instantly fell in love with you and quickly found out how <strong>c.o.m.p.l.e.t.e.l.y</strong> different your are from your sister. We love your smiles you rarely share, your serious faces, your girlyness {I guess one of my girls has to be girly and that you are}, your love for shoes { it was 1 of your first words}, your little temper and attitude {that no one thinks you have because of...}, your sweet cuddling side, that you are the <u>only</u> morning person in our family, your adoration for your sister, your shyness, that you never--never stop making noise come out of your mouth {unless there is a man around-regardless if you know him or not}, that you are most certainly a mama's girl, and last but not least, your "grabby grabby" hands.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372618909241159106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6GAHtq6PjftEWbddkUszwUCxZY1Bs-txj8d9l9565_iJEi7w6-mZfEOKCG-0RznfAwe10-c9wTOOS4WRRn75LCZ-sETuZNgfipQXOjmwp6rhVko9MnOi4CmRxS8MPR5A2-d4wgN4w-9pJ/s400/Addie+Grace+006.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372618911738929746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZnWsOmZVOoySv5QWI3O4lkHET1tdPH85D4UW0EiqtHa7QmJynP0WTrD1BN4BP70C69Q4-c8r6wdYMPKC6JtzXfcot0yZneYuULpaUvcq58O3jPymadezrUbVgzICKmfEUcXFrkhiT3Zk/s400/Addie+Grace+083.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372618926574350562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabxs1AZvBJ7d9uZcclPgyOgVl1cKy3UsC3NBOyqYa3GaVxaUZk0W8tkt8u86KYvV8DER01h-i7VlvAPfbANX80XYc3BcSe9_6KmK7eXj7ExQXrBFeNSmhVn4ME5YFNc1UhiQRZVr5V4lT/s400/Fripp+08+149.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372618939748759666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjITGUCLFjnx72XRzzN249059Jpo2w49kbClrzXqX9m2hOFpK7oI_-PoVUXIbPTOxlQuPuv1iyWR_DQ3MLLH4LjlDSQAOX91Qw4hFctIDcf_6xUKyqxcUBc-x4zXT0Asl_Kuo4kEZ6z8tsH/s400/Playground+Fun+002.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372619417692020898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg41ykZ6x6yK0VJNIMZ5P9Q84jtIR-3DU1UTxPfy1qykHhAf7uPm7dx_0T2hVu25iqaEu3iDBYAKcc38y1duKEtIMH4qm8D2xmt-ZlrNANK68AkjpF8uqgwuNxGGCImga80r1gIlZ-vzCxa/s400/Snow+09+-+2nd+Round+032.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372615715643160722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJtuSc79sniD9z3FYuOFgsCSwBa4CRA8ZKcY8ZGieMdGlaX9yJ1mP_ZNdhuSkJYPdZdU3AhegFFRG1Wr0kOWuSvKvqlGXmfYEzsfk9Jws3EWeENY680FEnI_vetruvXQFRr1mu6c6MsKFN/s400/2009+061.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372618921034735298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPqExiXV9x7Ii_L1aCARGf96LUXwgQV2CDVDaKN8lg_wCa56ybY60TEu5EpwTLOmLzZQ6i1eq6HMbVmBQGT31o8_sc6bj4dWQiL6C6XQZtMPNlrm4AbpfSQT0hQtfiKEb10soQpqOL8No-/s400/Addie+Grace+105.jpg" /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY!!</div><div align="center">WE LOVE YOU ADDISON GRACE!!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 248px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372614724577587138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJa4tM_8O86eB7KLe_e-HkyhxfhDeV2ukD4IVIObxvXvEp8X1bes6UBHhDah28bTCB6v4LaaZhNCqeVO6mc2hx1nG7TbeFyT-I5d3rjV-bGRyHPfvtsGoCBPoMKe-ksoc32v4iO434Sek/s400/addie+119.JPG" /></div>Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06485018095853374170noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3246186293286166873.post-82072492069328399312009-07-19T21:20:00.001-04:002009-07-19T21:23:22.158-04:00It is SO true. . .I decided to take this little quiz after seeing it on my <a href="http://leightheo.blogspot.com/2009/07/bwahahahahaha.html">friend's</a> blog and I have to admit it is SOOO me!!!
