Everyone Hanging Out on the Couch

Out of the Mouths of Babes...

The other day Jamie took Deanna to WalMart to buy some more Christmas lights. Jamie hates going to WalMart because it is always so crowded and crazy in there. They pull up to WalMart and Jamie is grumbling to himself about all the people.

Deanna says, "Daddy are you frustrated?"

Jamie says, "Yes, look at all the people here. The parking lot is crazy."

Deanna says, "Daddy, they are just here to buy stuff like you and me"

Wow...puts it all into perspective!

TRICK OR TREAT!!

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.
