don't ask...

Don't we all look fabulous?

for you Brielle...

Brielle LOVES taking pictures. She asks me several times a day to borrow my camera, which I usually tell her NO! (only becuase I just got a new one) But, the other day I wasn't feeling like a fight so I let her take some pictures. She decided to take some pictures of her new kitty and she has asked me every day if I have blogged those pictures yet so HERE YOU GO!

I love that girl, she doesnt forget anything :)

Happy Birthday Dr Suess!

This is not the greatest picture, but we decided to have "Green Eggs and Ham" for dinner to celebrate Dr Suess Birthday. I didnt want to just use food coloring so I made this yummy spinach quiche with tomatillo salsa... it tasted much better than it looks!

Making the best of it...

When spring refuses to come :( I guess you just make the best of winter!

I don't think I will ever park in the garage again :(

Greg has adopted a 1958 Hydro Swift that was owned by my Great-Grandpa (I think he bought it brand new). Its in pretty good shape but might need some work to be "sea worthy". Should be a fun project for him to work on and maybe we'll take it out and have some fun on it this summer.

HaPpY BiRThdAY BriELLe!!! ♥

Its official, my baby is 5!!! I can't believe it, where has the time gone? 5 is such a big year, you will start school, and probably loose a tooth.... you're growing up!

I LOVE you so much. You bring so much happiness to our house. You can always manage to make me laugh. You have a love for music, just like me and its so fun to sing along to songs and dance in the car together. You are always willing to help me and rarely complain (I am so grateful for that!) and you are so sweet and complimentary. You tell me almost every day how cute my outfit or hair looks (thanks!)

I am so impressed at how smart you are. You love reading (and being read to). You remember lyrics to songs so easily. You are very coordinated and have GREAT balance and rythm (not sure where you got that from??)

You are going to be the most amazing big sister! I am so excited to see how loving and helpful you can be to our baby. I know you will be a great friend, just like you are to Katie!

Thanks for being amazing! Love, Mom

We decorated your room while you, Katie, and Ella slept on the floor. It was pretty fun to tiptoe around you and freeze evertime you stirred. You were so excited to wake up and see the decorations! Happy Birthday Brielle!!!

Nana and Papa came and picked you up right after breakfast and took you to Build a Bear. They have taken each of the girls when they turn 5 and it was finally your turn! When Katie went, you were just 3 and you were sooooo sad, you couldnt go too. I hope you enjoyed this special time with Nana and Papa. You picked out a cute kitty you named "Lily Breanna Jones" (not after Lily the cousin but Lily, Hannah Montana's friend) She even has a microphone and sings a song when you press a button in her hand.


We had a birthday dinner for you and Nana (who's birthday is tomorrow!) on Sunday and you got a special birthday treat

We went to Planet Party (formerly known as Incredible Pizza) for your Birthday Dinner and "party". This year we didnt do a friend party but we had so much fun spending the day together as a family! Nana, Grandma, Tyler, Holly, Ella, and Lily came. We spent 5 hours at the pizza place playing games and riding rides... and eating 2 meals at the buffet.

Sweet's

Mrs Emily's preschool had a fieldtrip to the Sweets Candy Factory. We have been several times and its always fun to wear the cute hats and the candy is always yummy!!
