4 Generations of GIRLS!!

Saturday my mom invited people over to visit and see Brynne and I before we leave for Minnesota. I was so glad my grandmother was able to come so we could get this picture:

It is four generations of girls... My grandmother obviously, my mom (who is my grandmother's only daughter), my sister and I, and our four girls! And this is what it takes to get eight girls ready for a picture (this and about 50 takes)!

Brooke (r) and Whitney (l) chatting with each other instead of looking at the camera!

It was so good to see the people that came. I will miss all of my family dearly and look forward to our trips home, but know that we will have a great time in MN as well!

And I will leave you with this... Allison and Jade went to Hobby Lobby and came back with these for the girls:

Whitney wasn't a fan a first, but Brooke (above) left them on for quite a while and I'm pretty sure I never stopped laughing!!

I Love My Aunt(s)

Brynne is blessed to have three great (as in wonderful) aunts (and uncles) and a whole slew (way too many to count-if I tried I would forget someone) of great (and great, great) aunts and uncles! Aunt Stephanie (Chris' sister) got this shirt for Brynne (her favorite niece :) j/k):

She was finally able to wear it the other day to visit two of her three aunts! (I text a picture to the other :) )

I wonder if I set a record for the number of parenthesis in three sentences!! :)

Bathtime Fun!

As you can tell... Brynne LOVES a bath! I hope that means she will love to swim too!!

Look at that belly (and double chin :) )... I wonder if she will ever look back and be offended at how much I talk about how big she is?! I guess I'll just tell her picture don't lie! Ha ha!!

She will stay in there until the water is cold and still not want to get out!

I accidentally got water in her eyes when I was washing her hair and it made her sneeze:

All warm and cozy (and mad that I took her out!)

Our Day at Lake Elaine

Yesterday Brynne and I made a trip to Lake Elaine to visit my sister and her girls! My mom bought all the girls some cute denim hats with flowers on them. Brynne's was a little too big, but I was looking through some of Jade's baby stuff and found this hat (from 11 years ago) that was almost exactly the same and it fit her perfectly!!

It was a beautiful day... Wouldn't you love to have this as your backyard?!

The weather was perfect, so we loaded up the babies and took them for a walk!

I'm pretty sure this is going to be a trio to keep our eyes on!!

Everyone started out awake...

but only lasted halfway to Kathey and John David's (Allison's neighbor, haha!)

Jade was dying to have someone come over to play, so we picked up Ethan on the way and they had a blast! I don't think we saw them all day!! I'm glad Jade has a cousin so close in age that she can play with... that was some of my best memories growing up.
