Phone Pics

Just sharing some pictures from my phone, since I don't lug around the real camera everywhere we go.

 A few weeks ago we had a crawfish boil and Evan was busy inspecting him!

 Nice day = a long walk to run off some energy.

 Choo-choo at dance!

 Some one was sleepy.

 Water table fun in the sun!

 She was soooo excited about her pink nail polish!

 Little diva liked these sun glasses the best because they had pinkish colored lenses!

 Happy guy leaving a birthday party at the park.

 Blowing her party blower.

 Little Miss thought it was so fun to sit in the front seat while we were sitting in a parking garage.  We were waiting for little brother to finish up his nap.

 Faux hawk!

 Evan got some new kicks!

{I won't mention how small the shoes were we had been shoving his feet into.  Whoops!}

 While we were out, Brynn asked to get in the stroller AND asked me to lay the seat down.  She promptly fell asleep.  For someone who hardly ever naps these days, that was huge!!

Random Pictures...

Sorry we have been MIA lately.  The whole packing and moving and unpacking thing has been keeping us quite busy!  So just a quick fly by with some cell phone pictures.

Taking a break from moving and listening to Aunt Kiki's iPod.

 Moving wore him out!

 Her too!

 Brynn has been obsessed with Rocky lately.  Always wants him to sit in her lap!

 Silly boy!

{On 2/25 I felt his top right first molar starting to come through.  He is now up to 9 teeth.}

 Playing outside

She works out.

She came up to me and said "They really heavy...I really strong!"

 Sissy wanted her not so little brother to sit in her lap.

 Working hard

Goofy guy!

Brynn's first dance recital!

Brynn had her first dance recital yesterday and she couldn't have done any better!  Oh my goodness, all the little snowgirls were so cute!  Our little munchkin was so excited to go on stage with her friends and Miss Karen.  In fact, when they came off the stage she said she wanted to do it one more time!  We were so proud of her, especially since two of the last three weeks she hasn't wanted to dance at dance class.

 She didn't want to be bothered with pictures, just wanted to dance around with her friends!

They were really cute and were dancing around the ballroom while the other performers songs were on.  Little dancing queens!  And of course, now that we have her "show" taped she wants to watch it all the time too!  Brynn loves her some Brynn!!!  :) 

Big girl dance class

Brynn had her first dance class where the parents aren't in the room today.  I was worried that she would have a hard time without me being right there, but she did great!!  I had visions that I would have to peel her off my legs, but all my worries were very unfounded.

She listened, had fun, followed directions, shared, and did great in her little tap shoes!  She still looks over at the window every now and then to make sure I'm watching though.  It is so cute to watch all the little girls in tutus dancing around and having a great time together.

She loves Rocky soooooo much!  Always asking for kisses, saying "Hi" to him as soon as we get home and "Bye" when we leave.  On the other hand, there are also times when I'm pretty sure she tortures him....not leaving him alone comes to mind!

{And did you notice that lovely bruise on her forehead?  It's pretty hard to miss!  Poor little thing had a nasty spill while we were visiting Target.  It resulted in a ginormous goose egg and turned into that nice colored bruise.}

Growing, growing, growing!

Earlier this week our little girl turned 2 1/2 and we sure have enjoyed every moment with her.  Obviously, there are times when she is acting every bit of her 2 1/2 years but then there are other times when she is so sweet we can barely stand it.  My favorite thing to hear might be "I love you so muk, Mommy!"  and it's usually followed by a kiss.  Doesn't get any better than that!

She is a bright, inquisitive, loving, funny, opinionated little girl who is a bit shy or timid to new surroundings at first, but then jumps right in!  She amazes us everyday with something new she has learned.  And it's amusing how as parents we mourn them learning new things...for example, Brynn used to say "Yippy" for Mickey and now it is fully Mickey Mouse.  We miss her saying "Yippy" now and everyday is a constant reminder that she is getting bigger and more independent.  {I suppose that means we are doing our job, huh?}  We can't wait to see all the learning, growing, exploring and doing that she still has ahead.

And if you couldn't tell...she loves dance class!!!

Miss Twinkle Toes

We enrolled Brynnee in a dance class for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 year olds and she absolutely LOVES it!  It is a tots 'n tutus class, so while they don't really do choreographed dance they do try to teach them some basics.  Sashay-ing, first position, twirling, take a bow, etc.  I'm pretty sure the two things Brynn loves the most is the mirror and her dance attire!  She spends a majority of the class watching herself in the mirror!  It's actually pretty funny to watch.

Maraca time!

Following directions

Getting ready for the princess dance!

Haha!  They can dance however they like to the Beauty and the Beast song.  She really likes the class and she asks to go all week long!  Do we have a future ballerina on our hands?  I guess time will tell!
