Playing opposites already?

As I was driving around town on errands the last few days with the girls, Briana yells out "apple". I assumed she was seeing all the pumpkins around our neighborhood and other random places ~ so I responded "pumpkin". Well, she kept repeating "apple, apple, apple" and I kept repeating pumpkin. Finally I decided to say apple. And when I did, she then said "punkin".

What a little pumpkin!

Yes, Briana's hair is slowly growing. It seems Alayna has heard Scott and me comment about it more than once on how long it's getting. She told me right before I took these shots "Momma, Bonna's hair is getting long" as she had opportunity to "comb" it. Surprisingly, Briana allowed her to ~ for a short time.

A little clip of Alayna in action!

Alayna's 3rd Birthday

Our little girl is growing up! 3 years old already! We had a little birthday party Sunday night before we left for our camping trip in the morning. With that being said, mom didn't bake a cake...but the store bought cupcakes went over great in a pinch.

She had no problem helping herself and digging in.

Although this pix is a little blurry, I love both of their expressions

~ especially Briana's






Below is a video of her "Happy Birthday" song... If you can stand to hear the two sorry voices singing it. It's a little over 1 minute long so you might get bored. Hopefully Grandmas will enjoy it. Briana watched on with delight and did very well sitting taking it all in. We think Alayna sucked in the candle flames instead of blowing them out as there was a delay after she blew on them !?!?

Miscellaneous

Behind again, but thought to get some different pix up here. They're a little older, but wanted to put them on anyway.

I have a bunch of things to post as we've been keeping busy the last few months.

~ Alayna's 3rd Birthday

4 weeks and 3 days to go until baby #3 ~ getting that nesting syndrome right now and want to clean out and organize EVERYTHING!!!!

Thankful everyone is healthy... God bless!

After laying Alayna down for a nap, I walked in her room to get something and saw her reading a book. After noticing she didn't stir from me coming in, I took and closer look...

... and found she fell asleep holding her book upside-down!




One thing daddy loves to do is put his little girlies up on Mr. Elk for a "ride"

I get a little nervous when he puts both of them up there at the same time.

He actually took them down fairly quickly, as he mentioned it might be too

much for both of them to be up there.

Caught Briana with a babydoll's pacifier in her mouth.

She was pretty possessive of it too.

My little helpers. They love the vacuum.

Alayna teaching Briana how to cook and stir food.

Once I brought up the play kitchen from the basement,
they seem to play with it a lot more

Briana trying to talk on the phone, cook and taste test all at the same time.
I wonder where she gets that from.

She keeps busy, that's for sure


A few videos below... Hopefully you can open them. The first is catching Alayna "reading" out loud from a little Bible. However, it didn't last too long as she caught me recording her and she wanted to "see".


The second is of Briana "cooking" and talking on the phone saying "hi" to grandma. These videos are some months old. Oh well, I try to capture some things, but still try to enjoy them and the special moments with them.

I couldn't get the second one to upload. Maybe I'll try another time.
