Brianna

Brianna told me today:

-she wants to pick out her own clothes and do her homework by herself because she wants to be a big girl

-when she grows up she wants to be three things: 1.a house decorator 2. a rock star and 3. an artist.

I love my girl!

so many little things to catch up on

Brianna lost her first tooth last Sunday morning, then she lost the actual tooth. Thank you daddy for finding it. She said later that day, "We'll see if the Toothfairy is real. If she leaves me money then she's real and if there's no money then she's not real." So funny. I hear that kids usually lose their bottom teeth first but she lost one of her top teeth.



Sunday was a fun filled day for Bri. After her first tooth coming out she worked at the Girl Scouts cookie booth for the first time then went to a bowling birthday party.











It was cute dressing all the kids in green yesterday. I had to take pictures. I took like 6 pictures. The kids had to all take turns holding Caleb. Here are three of them.







I'll have catch up on the other little things tomorrow.
I'm trying to put a video of Caleb crawling but it's not working. I'll just have to post it on Facebook instead.

Tea Party and Make Overs

So I kicked the boys out of the house today (except Caleb) and Brianna had two of her bestest friends over for make overs and a Tea Party. She has been wanting to have a tea party for a really long time and thanks to grandma she has a tea set. We spent all morning cleaning and preparing. Brianna set the table herself.



When Ashley and Kayley first arrived the girls did their own make up.




Then put on some fancy dresses.



And enjoyed a tea party. We didn't really have tea because no one there liked tea, so we had pink lemonade. We also ate pb&j sandwiches in the shape of stars, mini turkey and cheese sandwiches, baby carrots, lots of fruit, and cheez-its. For dessert we had mini cupcakes and jello with Redi-whip. Not knowing if I was going to have any dessert Chelsie brought the best cookies in the world, her and Kevin's homemade chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. We mom's ate them all, don't tell the girls.





After we ate and drank "tea" the girls put on some more make up,





played a game of freeze dance,






and colored!






Caleb and his girlfriend Katelyn got to hang out,



and I got to hang with two great friends!



I have no idea why I look so tan. It won't be long before both these gals pass me up. They both tan beautifully. I usually just turn a darker shade of white.

It was such a fun afternoon for the girls and the mommies!

Oh yea, did you notice Brianna's tooth that is about to fall out? Her first loose tooth!

Ten on Tuesday

1. My best friend's parents gave me a digital camera. They are so awesome! So I've been trying to be camera happy.


2. We went to Chic-Fil-A last Friday night for their family night. It was a lot of fun!





3. Danny got sand for the fish tank and ended up having to take the fish out while the sand settled in the water and he put them in our bathtub.


4. I decided to not eat certain sweets (candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, soda) until my birthday. It's been hard to get my sweet tooth fix. I'm just trying to help my body shed some pounds. The bag of Kettle BBQ chips that I had no self control over is not helping. Those are soooooo... good!!!!

5. This morning Brianna came in to wake me up and told me that she already brushed her teeth and got dressed so she didn't have to do it later. I later told her that the red tank top wasn't going to keep her warm (the truth was it didn't go with the pink skirt). So we picked out a different shirt and put some tights on and she looked so cute. Here's a picture of her tonight with Daniel.


6. I've been finding a lot of good blogs lately from moms. All these ideas to make my family healthier, greener, smarter. It can get overwelming thinking about all the changes I would like to make. I've decided to just take one or two ideas and try them. I'm trying to not feel horrible that I don't already do all these great things and not compare myself to other moms.

7. I really hope that I can somehow get Daniel in preschool next year. He so wants to be in school!

8. I had planned on weening Caleb in about a month and a half but he doesn't really like to eat that much food and won't drink out of a bottle or a cup. Things may not go as I planned.

9. Matthew ALWAYS is sucking on his two fingers. I'm starting to worry that his two front teeth are pushing forward.



10. I watched Food Inc. last week and it messed me up! In a good way I suppose. Anyone know where I can buy grass fed beef?
