A 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!!!

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.

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???

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 "Doorknob!"

I was trying my best not to laugh and asked her "Doorknob?? Are you sure??"

She told me yes the lady said she was from Doorknob, but she was hard to understand.

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 Vitknob!!"

So apparently there is a new country in the world called Vitknob!!

Ending of a Chapter...

Today Brynn will graduate from preschool. It is hard to believe she is old enough to graduate from anything.

It seems just like yesterday that we walked in to Ms. Nicole's class to start our school career. She was so excited and her mommy...well...I was a little excited too!! She was going to learn new things and make new friends...and give mommy a little bit of a break!On that day I did not think about graduation. I did not think about how fast that day would come.

THE DAY IS HERE!!

Today (4 very short years later) we walk out of Ms. Leigh's class and being a new journey. She again is very excited and her mommy...well...I am not that excited. I have joked that I am not looking forward to it because we will have to get up so early but in fact I am sad that I my little girl is not so little anymore.

I know she is ready for "Big School". She has learned as much as could at preschool, made some great friends, experienced some fabulous teachers, and made awesome memories.

Thanks you Ms. Nicole, Ms. Jennie, and Ms. Leigh for making our preschool years great!!!

Now that I have cried through this post lets hope I making through the actual graduation!

While at the Dinner Table. . .

Ok....
Ok....
I know I have totally neglected my poor little blog and I will be surprised if anyone still stops by to read, but I want to remember what Brynn said at the dinner table tonight.

We were just sitting there eating when Brynn announces she knows ALL her months of the year. I thought WOW Ms. Leigh is on the ball!! So I tell her "Ok B let's hear it."

She starts off in her all so confident voice....
Sanctuary
March
April
May
June

December!

I said (trying not to laugh because it was too cute) "What did you say 1st?"

She quickly says SANCTUARY!! That is the way it starts!!

Happy Birthday To BB. . .

or Brynn as she is sometimes called :)

It is so hard to believe that you are 5 years old. 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.

You are the best surprise we could have ever gotten!!!!

WE LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Daddy, Mommy, and Addie

Happy Birthday to our Addie Grace. . .

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 GIRL to this world!!!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 c.o.m.p.l.e.t.e.l.y 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 only 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.
HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY!!
WE LOVE YOU ADDISON GRACE!!!

It is SO true. . .

I decided to take this little quiz after seeing it on my friend's blog and I have to admit it is SOOO me!!!
You Should Spend Your Summer at the Beach
You're a free spirit who is always thinking of new ways to have fun.
And you don't just love summer... you live for it.
So, you really should blow off your responsibilities and head to the beach!

Had to share (before I forgot)...

Tonight while I was giving Brynn a bath, she said something I thought was funny...

Mom, you know I am just a LITTLE girl...
but I AM about to be 5...
because I have LONG feet!!

I am not quite sure how these 3 things fit together but in her little mind they do!!
