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

April
May

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!

Where Should You Spend Your Summer?

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!!

Guess What I Got...

This is my gift from Brandon for our anniversay!!

I know what you are thinking...

"What man in his right mind would give this to a woman on their anniversary?"

Apparently my husband!

In his defense, I did ask for this (for Christmas). I got an "IOU" because he couldn't find it any where around Christmas.

I did tell him he still owed me a gift since technically this was supposed to be my Christmas present, but he didn't agree!!

What a Surprise. . .

My husband came home from West Virginia a day early!!!

I was only home from dinner for about 10 minutes, when there was a knock at the door. I was thinking it was probably my brother-in-law. He is always stopping by for one reason or another.

So I opened the door to see Brandon standing there!!! I couldn't believe it.

I was very excited to see him but not near as excited as the girls!

Brynn was just saying how much she was missing her daddy and wished he was coming home today.

and HE DID!!!!
