Beautiful Brynn

She is such a cutie, and such a good baby! Brynn has bright blue eyes, and auburn hair. It's fun for me that she has quite a bit of hair because it gives me hope that soon I will be able to do things with it. She's 4 months old, and she is starting to roll back and forth on her sides, and she can grab toys and hold onto them. She laughs and smiles and coos when we look at her. She is great at pulling out her binky, and putting it back in her mouth. In the morning when she wakes up instead of crying right away she starts squeaking, and making cute noises while playing with her feet. We are so happy to have her in our family.

Crazy Girls!

We went swimming at Claire's house. Reese likes swimming, but is kind of afraid of the water also. She spent half of her time sitting on the top step of the pool, and the other half was spent following Marjann around. She is so funny, once she decides that she likes someone she wants nothing more than to be with them.

Abbi is a fish. That girl could be in the water all day long, and is still sad when she has to get out. They have a slide into the pool, and I tried to coax her into using it, but this is as far as she would go. 

Zoo Fun

We went to the zoo last week with Corey, Rick, A.J., and Riley. We haven't been to the zoo in more than three years, so it was great to go back! 

We started the day on the train which ran around part of the zoo. Two of our other favorites were the zebras, bears, elephants, and the cheetah. This cheetah was so cool. It kept walking back and forth past the glass growling at us. This was such a fun day for us!

Here we are at Springville Days children's carnival. The girls had so much fun, and it was so nice to have Andy there with us on a weekday! The carnival was mostly blow up slides and jump houses. Reese for some reason doesn't like blow up slides, so she wanted to spend the whole day on two rides, The turning strawberry, and the train that drove around on the grass. Abbi loved all of the rides. She reminds me of me as a kid, I wanted to go on everything, I didn't want to miss out on a ride because that might be the best one.

Hot Air Balloon

Last week we were interrupted during breakfast when a huge hot air balloon landed in our backyard...ish. Since we have no immediate neighbors we consider the whole block our backyard. We had to run over and get a picture. Reese would be in the picture also, but she was terrified of the fire in the balloon so she stayed safely in my arms. Abbi however was ready to get in and go for a ride. We settled for a picture with her sitting on the edge. 

FRIENDS

Dinner Time

Dinner can be pretty funny with these two. The other day Reese decided that her ranch dressing was chapstick. Andy and I tried to keep a straight face while telling her not to frost herself with ranch, but we couldn't do it. We all were busting up, so Abbi joined in the fun, funny girls!

Preschool Graduation

Abbi LOVED preschool this year! Here she is with Miss Linda, who is actually my cousin also. Each of the kids received a certificate, a crown, and a cd of pictures throughout the year. They were also given a "title" when they received their crown. Abbi was dubbed "Queen of Style". and this fits her so well. Since she was able to dress herself she has loved matching her clothes and choosing how I should do her hair. (most of the time she chooses a headband I, but good for her for caring) Now it's off to kindergarten for Abbi and she couldn't be more exciting.
