This was started as a summary of our little girls life for everyone to share, but it is now a blog for us to have as a family. It will serve as a time capsule for us so we can remember all the feelings. There sure are a lot of them.
Every year since Bryson was born I have attempted to take a picture on the morning of his birthday, first thing in the morning, not even of good quality. I am positive I took one last year on birthday #4, but cannot find it anywhere!! Here are the others though, up until yesterday, his 5th birthday. Can't believe he is 5 now. It's all going way to fast!
Yesterday I interviewed Bryson and Finley to see what answers they would give me on a few topics. There was no coaching involved. Finley is pretty quiet though, and I repeated everything to make sure you guys out there could understand. Here is what they said...
Finley has been working on potty training again as the first time around was a fail. She's been doing pretty good this time, but I'm not calling it done at this point. Anyway, one of her rewards was a new necklace, and she got to go pick one out herself. This is the first necklace that she has had of her own that wasn't a hand-me-down from some of mine when I was little. She is super proud of it, and loves to wear it everyday. Cute little cupcake.
This past week we drove to Port Aransas for a week long family vacation just like we did last year, with my sister and her family, and my mom also. We had a really good time! We relaxed and played on the beach, went to the Corpus Christi State Aquarium, swam, swam, and swam some more. The kids had a blast hanging out 24 hours a day with their cousins, Eisley and Everett. I had a ton of pictures from the trip, so I combined most in a video. Enjoy!
Yeah, I know. It's been a few months. Again. We haven't been taking many pictures because our camera has been broken, so I have very few of my own over the past few months. Some of these were taken by others. However, we just ordered a new camera and will be receiving it this week just in time for our beach vacation next week. In the meantime, here is what we've been up to so far this summer. Enjoy!
Here is our carrot crop that we planted in the fall (still experimenting), and they just grew big enough to pick. We picked them last night and they are soooooo good!! We've already finished them off today! We are getting ready to plant some more seeds to hopefully have more by the summer.
On Tuesday I took the kids to the dentist (good reports!) and then went and ran some errands. We decided to stop off and take some pictures in the bluebonnets. I didn't really have them dressed for pictures, but I still think they are adorable as ever. :) I couldn't really see their faces in the camera because it was so bright out, and there is only one of them with both kids not squinting, but these are the ones we got.Looking back at the ducks in the pond that swam by.
