Cute Pictures

We have produce!!! Yea, we have had quite a few cucumbers come to fruition lately, here are a couple cute pics of Bryden shaving our most recent cucumber to nibble on! And here are also some cute pics of Emerson having belly time...all with her hand in her mouth! Enjoy!




















"Enough already, it is just a dang cucumber Mom!" (That is what I read in her eyes anyway)

Virginia Beach

Bryden and I dropped Emerson off to spend the day with Nanne, while we went down to spend the day with Aunt Chandra. We were going to go to the beach, but the water was a little to cool still to really enjoy it, so we decided to stay at Chandra's and swim in her pool. Uncle Murat has a sweet underwater camera that we used to get still shots of Bryden diving under water and some videos too. Bryden did such an awesome job diving under water for her whirly birds...several times she was under water for like 7 seconds! Sprinter in the making with that hypoxic capacity :o) I also wanted to go to the beach to get some pics for Bryden's book we are making to help her learn to read, and in the mean time, we got some great shots of us in the dunes! P.S. The ugly yellow shoes that Bryden is wearing, yeah, they were what she picked out for reading 5 words. We went to Wal-Mart and she saw them and I told her she could get them if she could learn to read 5 words (that is my personal goal this summer to help her learn how to read. She can sound out the alphabet, now it is just putting them together!). So, yesterday she learned to read pit, cat, mitt, hop and kit! Yay Bryden, boo for ugly yellow shoes! Enjoy!

Check out this cute video!

"H" is for Horse

Bryden is starting to learn how to read a bit, so we are in the process of making a word book of our own. I thought it would better for her to read words and look at pictures that we took ourselves, and things that Bryden can relate to. So, we went driving around town the other day, and we went to a horse farm that we used to visit quite often near where she went to day care. The horses were so friendly (in the past them haven't ever really paid much attention to us) and two came right over...we didn't bring any carrots or apples, but we fed them grass and I got some great photos...H for Horse...and just some cute pics of Bryden in the moment. Enjoy!

Cherry Pickin'

Man, we are becoming fruit picking experts! We went cherry picking on Father's Day, it was a heck of a lot of work for only about 2 1/2 pounds. They just opened last weekend and were already pretty well picked over. The good ones were way at the top of the tree, Bryden and I had to be monkey's to climb up the trees to get to them. Hmmm, overall experience...way too much work for not much reward. We like apple and pumpkin pickin better!




These are too cute!

Tough Day on the Job

Gosh, my Mom and Dad need to just chill out on the whole exercise thing...it is soooo over rated. Do you think they'd notice if I just took a little snooze....

Playing Catch Up

Here are some pics of the last week or so...Enjoy!
Our sweet girls!

Memere came to visit us last weekend, this is a cute one of her and Emerson.














Bryden is phasing out of naps, but she is really tired in the afternoon, and she gets really clumsy. She needed a nap today, but she argued, so I let her pick where she wanted to nap...I found her in our room on the big chair...I couldn't pass up the photo op. I love how the sun plays on her hair, she looks so angelic sleeping (even with dorito mess all around her face and on her hands!)




Emmy naps best in her carseat. I am to the point now, even if we have no where to be, if she falls asleep nursing, I put her in the carseat, she sleeps much longer there!

Grampa is showing Emerson the garden! Thanks to Grampa, we now have 3 more tomato plants, 2 more cucumber plants, 3 bell pepper plants, 2 watermelon and 2 canteloupe plants! Yipee!

Busch Gardens

Yay for a gorgeous day at Busch today! We took Bryden's friend Rachael with us, and they had a blast! Jim even rode Big Bad Wolf, and ALL the rides we went on...yeah, Jim, way to go...conquer those fears! They just opened a Sesame Street area this year, and the girls loved that!
