Fun Memory!

This was about a month ago, but I had to share the story cause I thought it was so cute. Derek was at class, (for his Masters he currently has a tuesday night class from 4:30-10:00 pm) On these nights we've developed a routine that's less structured than the rest of the week. After Holley gets ready for bed I let her watch a movie in my bed til she falls asleep, and I'll hang out in the family room and have me personal time veggin in front of the tv or working on a project I've been wanting to do. Anyway, this particular night Brinley was just playing on the floor I assumed she wasn't sleepy yet cause she wasn't fussy and was just playing quietly. I looked down and found that she had fallen asleep right there in the middle of playing! It was so cute I couldn't resist taking a picture, the flash woke her up and upon waking up she saw me there and smiled at me and went back to sleep! So of course I needed to take more pictures and the same thing happened about 2 more times. But then she decided that being awake was more fun and decided she wanted to be up and playing again! It was a fun and sweet moment!

Silly Sisters!

I can't even express how much I love watching these two girls love each other and interact with each other! No one can make Brinley smile and giggle like her sister. She gets a sweet sparkle in her eye when she looks at her big sis! And Holley sure is protective of Brinley, and wants to "take care of her" as much as she can! I thought these pictures show a little bit of the sweet relationship they share.

Look What Brinley's Doing Now!

Smiling and being happy!
Being Cute!
Being Silly!
Being Sweet!

Sleeping
Sleeping
Sleeping some more!
Rolling all over the place! (Brinley has really started wanting to "get around" she can roll almost anywhere she wants to go and has even started inching forward with her arms. She'll reach for something with one arm, then the other, then the first again, and pull herself along on her arms!)

Sleeping again!
Sitting up by herself!

Easter Pictures!

I know they are a little late, but here are some pictures from Easter.

Holley and Brinley with the Easter Bunny!

Tara and the Girls in our matching Easter outfits! Holley has been wanting to have "matching clothes" with Brinley ever since she was born, but the age difference has made it hard to find anything, so I made the girls their Easter Dresses, and my skirt so I could match too!

Here's our Easter Bunny Cake! Yummy!

Easter Eggs !

Derek and Brinley!

Brinley likes to help her Daddy work on the computer!

Sometimes it gets pretty boring though!

Here's some long overdue pics from our trip to Utah!

Holley with Chico! (Great-Grandma and Grandpa Larsens little Bird) Holley sure got a kick out of Chico's singing and flying around the room and climbing up his ladder!
Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's swing.
Brinley and Aunt Lu!

Grandma Mayhue's slide! My parents recently built a new house. The greatest feature as far as the grandkids are concerned, is the slippery slide that comes off the back deck! It was our first chance to see their new house and EVERYONE has to try the slide at least once!

Brinley's First Trip to Utah

We went up to Utah for our Spring Break and Brinley Did amazingly well on the trip up! If she ever did get a little restless I took off her socks and let her look at her cute little toes! (you'd be amazed how long that entertained her.) Holley wasn't with us for the trip up there because we let Grandma and Grandpa Mayhue take her up there with them after they came here for presidents day a week and a half earlier. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done to let her go. We missed her and were sure excited to get up there to see her.

I went to Wal-mart to print off those pictures I took of the girls on the 16th, and the lady asked to see my originals to check for a copyright! I told her that was a compliment since I took those pictures, and she said, "Wow their really cute!" Anyway, it made my day and I wanted to post it!

Holley & Brinley Su Feb 16th 2007

Here are some pictures I took of my girls! I wanted to try to get a cute "sister" picture of the two of them to hang in their room. I also want to take pictures of Brinley often because she is of course growing so fast(she's 5 months old tomorrow!), and wanted something more of a portrait for Holley, because it's been awhile since she's had one. Ergo, the whole thing turned into a Photo shoot of sorts! Holley loved it and was totally hamming it up for the camera so we got a ton of cute ones of her! Brinley was pretty tired though, so she gave us a couple and then was ready to nap! Hope you think they're as cute as we do!
