Rainy Day Fun

Soooo, we got poured on today with tons of rain, but luckily it was warm enough that the girls got to go out and jump in some puddles. They had a good time, of course Bryden, who is such a diva she can't even stand to get her clothes dirty, even to get water on them, she doesn't like to sweat, or to do anything un-diva-ish, well, she jumped in one puddle and her jeans got all wet, so just just walked through the rest...And Emmy, who is the total opposite, she loves to roll in mud, smear yogurt all over herself, and everything else for that matter, well, she sat right IN the puddles. It was so funny to see how differently they played in the water. And of course, you have to check out Emmy's crazy hair. She and I had played outside in the rain earlier, so it got all wet, then she napped, and when she woke up, we went out again...as you can tell her hair is totally crazy! Haha! Enjoy the pics!

Bryden Skiing

Well, it is the first weekend in March, and we are just getting to go skiing! Hmmmm...swim season throws us off a little! Better late than never! Bryden and I went up to Wintergreen with Sherry and Rachael. Both girls got a private lesson Friday evening, and Bryden ROCKED it out! She is such an athlete, and she just rolled with it from the start. This is her second lesson, but she hasn't skiied since last winter, so I think that is pretty awesome. I love the way they teach the little ones to ski...arms straight out to the side to stop , right arm points to the left to turn left, left arm crosses to the right to turn right. It works so well, their bodies just do what the arms tell it to. You can see in some of the pics how Bryden is using her arms to control her body! She is awesome, it was so much fun watching her go down the mountain all by herself! Enjoy!

PCAV Ball

Jim and I went to the Prevent Child Abuse Virginia Charity Ball this past weekend! We had a great time, and although we were a little let down by the "Ball" side of it we had a great evening (we were envisioning something more like in the movie "Enchanted"...those of you with little girls know what I am talking about!!!). Jim rented a nice, sleek black town car, driver and all, for us to ride in, and we got to dress up for the evening, and best of all, we got to sleep in until whenever we wanted the next morning (which happened to be 10 am for me!!!), thanks to Nanne and Grampa taking the girls for the weekend! Thanks also to my sister for letting me borrow her beautiful red dress, I got tons of compliments on it!! All in all, it was a great night, and I hope we get to do it again sometime! Enjoy!

Super Bowl Sunday

This year Memere and Pepere were here for super bowl! Yay!!! We were happy that the game started earlier this year, so the kids could see some of it. Bryden was really cute and totally got into it everytime there was a play, "Daddy, is that your team you want to win?"...Daddy was cheering for Green Bay! Go Pack Go!

Emmy Turns Two

Happy Second Birthday Emerson!!! For Emmy's second birthday, we had an awesome family and friends gathering! Memere and Pepere came in from Maine and Nanne and Grampa, Chandra, Murat and Baby Kaya came up, as well as Uncle John, and our good friends the Reed's and the Moore's. We decided to have mexican food for dinner at our house, and Aunt Chandra and Uncle Murat, always the life of the party, brought some fun mexican mustaches for everyone! We had a really great time celebrating the welcoming of a new year for Emmy!!! Enjoy the pics!

Emerson's Little Gym Show

Emmy had a great Little Gym Show last week! Hers is a little more care free than Bryden's, it is more of the same thing they do each class, free roaming of the equipment with some teacher instruction mixed in. Emmy loves to hang on the bars and she is really good at doing a forward roll on the "cheese" mat (a big triangle that gives the little ones a little leverage), and she loves to play with the balls at the end of class! She was so proud when she received her medal, her big smile was so dang cute! The first two pics are of Emmy playing at Bryden's show, but they were too cute not to be included! Enjoy!
