Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique -- Princess Deanna

We took Deanna today to the "Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique" as part of her Birthday Gift and Celebration! Deanna is a girly girl and is into anything princess, so this was a huge treat for her. She was so excited. I must say this is truly a magical place to take your little girls. Deanna was in there for over an hour and a half while she was pampered and treated like a princess. She got to pick out any costume she wanted, which included the wand, dress, shoes, and crown. She got her hair, makeup, and nails done. She even had a photo shoot when she was done. AND, if that wasn't enough she even was able to participate in their daily "Princess Parade" where they invite all of the little princesses, along with the Fairy Godmothers to parade through the park and take a ride on the Merry Go Round. She had so much fun and actually fell asleep in her dress and makeup on her "princess" bed...Appropriate, I guess! Special Thank you to Mimi for helping us out with this fun day and for Grandma and Grandpa for joining us to celebrate this special day! Love you guys!

A Butterfly is Born!

We had the opportunity to bring home a caterpillar's cocoon. We waited and waited for about a week and then suddenly Deanna noticed that the butterfly was coming out. It was really neat and a beautiful monarch butterfly was born! What an awesome experience to share with Deanna!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEANNA!

Today our little Deanna is 4 years old! It almost seems like a dream because time has truly flown by. These pictures were taken at her school with her friends. She wore her "Birthday Princess" crown today. Deanna is really into Ariel, so everything lately has been revolving around mermaids. This weekend we are off to an appointment at the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique at Disney. Check back for more pictures.

Braden are you making bird sounds??

Braden is not only eating a lot lately, he is also making so many noises. He is dying to talk, especially to Deanna. He puts so much effort into making sounds. These pictures were taken right after he finished eating and he was sitting there making all sorts of sounds, some of which sounded like bird calls. The dogs even woke up and came around to check it out.

Braden -- One of the Pack!

Braden loves Rocky and Sugar! Anytime he sees them walk by or they come up to him he laughs and smiles. He even tried climbing on top of them for some "snuggle time". He is hanging out with Rocky in the pictures below. The dogs adore him. We are constantly having to remind Sugar especially that he is NOT her baby!

The Zoo Splashpark

Deanna loves going to the zoo and the splash park and Braden loves being outside, so we go there often. We spend time looking at the animals, then cool off in the splash zone, and finish off the day on the Merry Go Round and the train, of course!
Look at the Big Boy!! He is only 5 months old and already we are talking about getting him a new car seat because he is growing so fast.

Deanna loves her dresses!

Deanna is definitely a "girly girl"! If you ask her at any given moment what she wants to wear, she would tell you that she wants to wear a dress and not just any dress, it has to spin with her when she twirls.

Braden loves his Playmat!
