"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!
