Breleigh is 4 months old! I wasn't thinking when I took her outside for these shots. Her eyes are a pretty light blue... I am sure the bright day was a killer. She has her mommy's squint! Check out that funky hair do. All I can say is... she grew it herself! There is some curl in there right now. Will it last? Probably not, so get a good look now!
The other day one of the dogs (neither has confessed to the crime as of yet) pooped on the floor while I was feeding Breleigh. Helaina kindly helped me out with the feeding so I could clean up the mess.
This is Breleigh while at the zoo. I think she will one day love the experience as much as we do!
Helaina wasn't much for riding the "real" ponies but these "up and down" ones were right up her alley!
My entire family in one spot at the same time! It was SO AWESOME. It hasn't happened since 2006. I cannot believe that it has been a month since I have updated this blog. That is just shameful. So many wonderful things can happen in a month.
Helaina, Breleigh and I left Daddy at home and we traveled to MN. It was just us girls and it went really well. Helaina was very well behaved and Breleigh handled the trip very well. We spent the night in Rosemount at Nana and Papa's house and then off to their cabin the next day. Of course, we had to stop at the Outlet mall on the way up! It had been WAY too long since I had shopped with my mom. We haven't lost our talent for finding all the best deals and forgetting about the time! It was WONDERFUL. There is nothing like shopping with my mom.
Heather and her family took a week vacation up at their cabin at the same time and since their cabin is only one other cabin away from my parents Helaina and Grayson got to spend a lot of time together. They are so much more like brother and sister. They tend to fight just like that too. Grayson loved Breleigh though and always wanted to feed her. It was so SWEET.
Uncle Goggy( aka Grant) tolerated us very well. He didn't even throttle me when I chopped down their lilac bush to make the view of the new playground better. ( I was chopping on Heather's orders). :)
The weather wasn't hot by any means but it was nice weather with only a few rainy times. We managed to go shopping a little and relax a lot. It was a great time. My mom and dad really know how to play host.
I was a little nervous leaving Jim at home. Last year when I tried this trip he broke his leg. I was very happy that I did not get any of those phone calls this time. Jim is still in one piece!
Both the girls are doing awesome and enrich our lives oh so much. Not to say that there isn't drama... there is plenty of that these days but at the end of the day when the little angels are sleeping, the only word that comes to mind is BLESSED!
Breleigh is growing like a weed and has been rolling from her back to her front and then back again. Helaina is going to attempt dance class this fall and has been parading around her house in her tap and ballet shoes as much as she can!
My goal is to be much better about posting on my blog so don't give up on me... keep checking!
Here are some random pictures from the last month for you to enjoy!
