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!

Our First Tomato

Yay! We finally have our first tomato! We went out of town this past weekend for a wedding, and when we got back, we checked the veggie garden, and sure enough, one of our Sweet Million tomatoes was ready for pickin'. Bryden got to do the honors, and of course, she ate it right away...all she said was "Mmmmmm, it's good!" So far we are off to a good start! Five of the six bean plants we planted are growing, 2 of the four sunflowers are growing, a bunch of carrots, and all four tomato plants are still alive (yipee) and the cucumber plant is growing pretty good so far! Not too bad for our first year! Enjoy!

Belly Time Twins

So, what is the verdict, do they look alike??? Everyone thinks so, I definitely see similar features, the nose especially, and I think Emmy will have the same chin as Bryden! Enjoy!

Goofy Girl

Here are some goofy pics of Bryden...she's wearing Emmy's pants on her head! P.S...That shiny stuff all around her mouth, yeah, that's lip gloss, such a beauty queen we have on our hands. Oh, funny story quick too, tonight, I was packing for a wedding we have this weekend, and I was trying to figure out what to wear to the wedding. Bryden, the little fashionista that she is, says (as she is laying in bed ready to sleep) "Um, when you decide which dress to wear, leave it on my bed so I can look at it last year, OK?"...First of all, she picks out what she is going to wear to school the next day and lays it on the bottom of the bed , so it made total sense to her for me to lay it on her bed so she could see it in the morning (95% of the time she decides not to wear what she picked out the night before!!!) and Second of all, she gets really confused on the concept of time, last night, tomorrow, last year, next year...they all mean the same thing to her! I guess she thinks I need her approval for what to wear, but, to be fair, I picked out two dresses and asked which one she thought would look better...I did end up packing the one she picked :o) Enjoy the pics!






And of course, an angelic picture!

Strawberry Pickin'

We went up to Wintergreen last night for the evening to get away and enjoy the mountains. On the way up we saw signs for Strawberry picking, so we decided to stop today for a fresh pick. It is toward the end of pickin season, so we had to search pretty hard to find some, but we got about 6 small baskets of decent strawberries. They we small in size, but huge in taste, yummy! We are going to try to go back in a couple weeks for cherries and peaches! Enjoy the pics!
