Easter Dresses

I had such a fun time shopping for Easter dresses for the girls!! Matt was more than a good sport to help me out during all the chaos. I think we spent about 4 hours in the mall & I still wasn't 100% happy with Trinity's dress. We ended up going out again the day before easter & Trinity helped me to find the perfect dress for her! I wish the picture taking could have ended up as well as the shopping did. I always set unrealistic expectations when it comes to taking pictures at the holidays or big events. Matt thinks I am crazy for trying so hard, but to me capturing moments on camera is SO important-so he goes along with it. What a great hubby!

We started out inside & could not get both girls to look at me, smile, or sit still for more than 5 seconds!! I decided to bribe them with cereal, but then couldn't get them to put it down! At least they were sitting semi-still. We tried for the outdoor approach & had an even more disasterous time getting the girls "focused". This was Trinity's response to me telling her to smile big-meanwhile Brinley is hunting for a smartie she dropped on the way out!

Running up and down the sidewalk eneded my efforts for any type of picture of both girls together, so these last four shots are what I ended up settling with.Brinley Ann

(There weren't too many Easter dresses in the maternity section, but this dress does have a little pink in it?)

P.S. We ended up being pretty late for church because of the girls lack of interest in me doing thier hair! Something I will know to prepare for better next year!

An Adventure...hopefully a good one!

You may have noticed the counter I stuck on here-if not I am posting to announce that we are getting very close to our next trip out to Utah. I don't know why I didn't post about it sooner, but time has flown by & we will be there in less than a week! I say we, but I am sad to say that Matt will not be making the trip with us. (very scary to think about considering I will be about 7 months pregnant & alone with my adorable, yet unpredictable girls on an airplane!) Matt is actually the person I have to thank for this surprise trip. He has to go to a training for the military & suggested that instead of spending the time here alone with the girls that I take a trip out to see family & friends before the baby comes. SO-here we come on our "girls out adventure!" As always I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see and visit all of you, so if you want to see us please let me know when you would be able to stop by my parents house for a visit.

Beautiful Day

It is 8:20 I am enjoying my breakfast in peace and quiet while the girls continue to sleep. I'm actually dressed & well on my way to being completely ready for the day. It is such a nice change from the regular routine of what usually happens. I am asleep & have hit the snooze button so many times that my alarm is no longer going off. I am awakened to the sound of Trinity's voice telling me (about 1/2 inch away from my face) that she is ready for "cer-All". If I still don't get up the next thing I hear is Brinley coming down the hall saying, "Ma-Ma?"-SO I drag myself out of bed and the three of us head downstairs in our PJ's to eat breakfast. It is just SO NICE to have some quiet time to myself & to think that there will be 3 little bodies in our house very soon is a sobering thought & good motivation to start getting up a little earlier more often. (Oh yea I forgot to mention that I woke up at 7am & cut Matt's hair too! Go me!!!)

Vacuuming Girls

The girls LOVE it when I vacuum & I will be the first to admit that I am a bit OCD when it comes to vacuuming. I usually vacuum every day and sometimes twice a day-anyway...they each have thier own toy vacuums that they use, but I decided to teach Trinity how to use mine so she can clean up her own messes. She loved using my vacuum & Brinley kept patting her belly so that Trin would put the hose on her belly. Enjoy the clips & sorry for the lack of clothes & uncombed hair!!

Giant Food??

Who would have ever thought that a bunch of giant plastic breakfast foods could be so much fun to play on?? Trinity loves going to play at the Cherry Creek Mall where she can climb into a bowl of shredded wheat & blueberries, jump off of sliced bananas, slide down a piece of curly bacon, or leap-frog across sausage links. Brinley has finally decided that it is a pretty fun place to play too & when the weather is bad it is so nice to be able to get the girls out of the house & into somewhere they can run free!
