Our Pretty Princess

If I ask Brooklynn what she wants to wear, she will always say 'A Dress'. She loves her dresses! She likes the fact that she can put them on all by herself. She even wants to wear them to bed. Everytime she puts a dress on she has to twirl and sway back and forth. It's so cute, she is such a pretty little girl and she has so much character. She loves the Disney Princesses, and has to sleep with her Cinderella book. I tried on my wedding dress a few weeks ago and now she keeps asking me to wear my Princess dress. She also loves to wear pretty bows. I have recently learned how to make them and have found it to be very fun. I'm glad I have my little girl and even more glad that she finally has hair to wear pretty bows in! And everytime she puts on this particular dress she always says "thank you Grandma Arvi", it's one of her very favorites!

Logan is 6 months!

Logan is 6 months already. He is such a fun little boy, usually very happy and content. Always smily and giggly. He has almost mastered sitting up. On the other hand his spitting-up is still a work in progress. He loves pancakes, it is fun watching him try to pick up the little pieces unsuccessfully. Yesterday he ate half a frozen Eggo waffle, he downed it pretty quick. He is drinking out of a sippy cup and is always wanting to share my water with me from the big cup. He loves his food and gets so excited when he sees it. He enjoys watching Brooklynn, he likes to pull her hair and is always sliming her. He loves his big sister. She takes very good care of him, getting him toys, singing to him and she is always quick to find him his pacifier when he's fussy! Two kids has been a very big adjustment, but it has been oh so worth it, Logan has been such a joy in our family from the very first moment we laid eyes on him! We love him so much!

Future Photographer...

  


 

Brooklynn has figured out how to use the camera. She no longer likes to pretend it is on, she wants it on... or else! She is 2, need we say more! She is actually pretty good, these are just a few of her finest. Thank goodness for digital cameras, she only took about 40 pictures in a matter of a few minutes. She always says "Click, take a pic" and we all know where she got that from!

Brooklynn Makes Lunch!

Yesterday Brooklynn had one of her best days ever. She finger-painted, sang songs, used the potty successfully all day, helped clean up her toys for once, made Pizza for lunch and Hot Fudge Sundae Cake for dessert after dinner. All with a big smile on her face! She was so happy all day and such a joy to be with!

She loved painting the sauce on the crust (tortilla)!

And, Yes she does like mushrooms!

Her favorite, the cheese. Not all of it ended up on the pizza :)

Yay, she did it! (thanks once again, Dora)

Our Day in Waterton

We had a fun filled day in Waterton. It started with a big accident but once that was taken care of it went great! It was the nicest day that I've ever been to Waterton. No wind and it was nice and warm, okay maybe a little on the Hot side! You would think the water was refreshing, nope definitely not. If you've ever been to Waterton you would know how dang Cold the water is.

 

Despite the Freezing Cold water, there was no deterring Brooklynn and Phoenix, Brooklynn just kept going deeper. We had to have her come closer to shore because there was no way we we're running into the cold water to save her, it was numbing.

Brooklynn's favorite thing was "Play Park" (thanks Dora). Never-mind the Scorching hot metal slides.

Ribbit, Ribbit, she was pretending to be a frog :)

And here's Logan, he loves his Umbrella Stroller, and we love that he loves it.

He also loved the swing, we got lots of laughs out of him, he doesn't mind going high either!

We had to make our usual stop at "The Big Scoop" for the best ice-cream ever. 

Only Brooklynn eats ice-cream with a spoon from her cone, the odd child!

Brooklynn admired a butterfly for a long time. 

She wouldn't stop chasing the deer on the far right, she didn't understand that it could hurt her. 

Higher Daddy, Higher!

I love the mountains in the background in the pic below, gorgeous! Oh, and Brooklynn is pretty cute too!

It's Logan, still as content as can be, I just love his flappy hat!  

Phoenix was begging for more swimming!

Our visit to Washington...

We had a fun trip, we got to visit everyone, attend a wedding (Brooklynn still talks about 'Princess Chelsi'), surprise Grandpa Rick a his 50th birthday party, go hiking, ride horses, go to the Aquatic Park in  Moses Lake and lots more fun stuff. Here are some of the moments captured, there will be more to follow!

A thrilling ride with Grandpa Randy on Duke!

Logan just chillin'

Daddy had just as much fun a Brooklynn. Brooklynn went down this slide over and over and over and over...

Hope was tired, by all means she must have a blanket and a pillow. After Hope was covered, Brooklynn laid down next to her!

Fun Grandma Mary

A tired girl, twirling her hair and sucking her thumb. A classic pose!

Brooklynn and her fun Uncle Zac

A long hike through the tall grass, good thing she had her hiking stick!

We we're surprised we could fit 3 car seats in the back of Jessica's car!

Lets just say that Logan wasn't so sure about the cold water:)

What's for Dinner Logan?

Peas with a side of Toes!
